The morning passes quickly with finalizing the new appointees and handling the associated details.The four of them decide to leave right after lunch. They discuss some more and then decide it would be best that the company be given back to Kunal.

Kunal - Bhai, yeh sab theek hai lekin kal bhi maa ne mujhse poochke hi ye decide kiya. Unhone koi zabardasti nahi ki. Shayad unko bura lagega agar Mishti ne company wapas kar di toh.

Mishti - Aisa kuch nahi hoga Kunal. Main

Kuhu - Kunal theek keh raha hai. Maa ko already bura lag raha hoga Parul maasi ki baat ko lekar. Ab agar tum bhi company wapas kar dogi toh unhe lagega tum bhi unhe reject kar rahi ho

A - Lekin bro

M - Tumhi ne toh yeh suggestion diya tha. Ab aisa keh rahi hai.

Kuhu - Haan mujhe lagta hai ki tumhe yehi karna chahiye. Main sirf bol rahi hoon ki maa ko aisa lagega ki

A - Accha tum dono chinta mat karo. Main aur Mishti ek accha sa reason soch lenge return karne ke liye ki maa accept kar lengi aur unko bura nahi lagega. OK? Ab chalte hain na. Humein lunch ke pehle sab kaam khatam karna hoga, nahi toh nikalne mein late ho jayegi.

They wrap up the rest of the work and ensure the new chaperones and kids are comfortable with each other. Then they have lunch and start the trip back home. 

Kunal - Accha hua woh replacements itni jaldi mil gaye. Ek din mein kaam khatam ho gaya. 

A - Kyun? Uma Patel se usse zyada chutti ke liye permission nahi mili kya?

M (slapping his hand) - Abir! Stop it! Woh humein help karne aaya aur tum uski mazak uda rahe ho.

A - Accha tum violent mat hona. Nahi karunga. Actually main soch raha tha jaldi kaam khatam ho gayi, agar isko wapas jaane ki jaldi nahi hai toh hum do din kahin rukh sakte hain na. 

Kuhu - #brilliantidea bro. Kunal, tum toh teen-chaar din ke liye bola hai na maa se. Kaam toh ek din mein ho gayi. Ghar mein bhi koyi humein itni jaldi expect nahi karenge. Bro ki idea acchi hai aur…

M - Lekin Kuhu, hum aise ghar mein kisi ko bataye bina nahi ja sakte

Kuhu - Aa gayi #ladyharishchandra banke. Do din kahin ruk jaye toh kya problem hoga kisi ko?

M - Main yeh nahi keh rahi hoon ki kisi ko problem hogi. Main sirf keh rahi hoon ki ghar mein batana chahiye.

Kunal - Mishti theek keh rahi hai. Actually Red Pear Travels ki anniversary celebrations ke liye prepare karna hai. 

A - Tum dono ko koi kuch nahi kar sakta. Accha theek hai, ghar hi jate hain. Agar replacement doondne mein aur samay lagta toh humein break toh mil jati.

Kunal - Bhai aap toh aise keh rahe ho jaise hum kabhi nahi jayenge. Aisa nahi hai na. Hum thoda planning kar lenge toh accha hoga.

Kuhu - Chodiye na bro. Aap bhi kisse baat kar rahe hain? #partypoopers!

A - It’s OK bro. Hum hain na, inko dheere dheere sudhaar lenge. Ab ghar hi chalte hain.

The journey is pleasant, and filled with jokes, songs, and laughter. They reach in the evening, and before they get off Abir reminds everyone about their pact not to keep secrets from each other.

As they enter the house Ketu sees them and comes towards them excitedly.

Ketki - Bhai, bhabs  - aap sab itne jaldi aa gaye! Humein laga tha aap ko teen-chaar din lagenge!

Kunal - Ketu, ghar mein sab theek hain na?

Ketki - Haan bhai, sab theek hai. Mera bad luck dekho na, jab aap nikal rahe the main ghar mein nahi thi. Nahi toh aapke saath main bhi chalti.

A - Agle baar leke jaunga Ketu. Iss baar toh kaam bhi bahut jaldi nipat gaya.

Ketu (smiling) - Accha hai aap log jaldi wapas aa gaye. Maa kal bol rahi thi ki kya pata aap log aise hi honeymoon par nikal jayenge, aur fui naraaz ho gayi.

The four of them look at each other and laugh.

Ketu - Kya hua bhai?

A - Kuch nahi Ketu-Setu, hum sirf is baat pe hass rahe hain ki Meenu ka munna kitna jaanta hai apni maa ko

Kunal - Woh aapki bhi maa hain bhai

Kuhu - Ab tum dono #toldyouso mat bolna

Mishti (smiling) - Kyun nahi? Main bhi kabhi kabhi right hoti hoon!

They go inside and everyone is happy to see them. The days pass quickly with everyone busy with their work. Mishti and Abir are busy with the app and NGO. Kunal gets completely involved in work, and Kuhu is busy with the anniversary preparations for Red Pear travels. Meenu tries to create misunderstandings and ill-will between Kuhu and Mishti, but while both are not best friends, they learn to ignore the small irritations so things are going relatively smoothly. Abir was happy, but couldn’t help but feel that it seemed like the calm before the storm.
