The Parting Gift
Have you ever asked yourself what's your legacy - parting gift to the world? Jai's teachings/values which he passed onto Veer and Nihaal are Jai's legacy to the world. Veer is Jai's farewell gift to Ayeesha & Nihaal. And they are Jai's gift to Veer.
Veer at the beginning of the episode tells Avinash that his brother is with him in spirit and will send him a farishta - an angel. Poof! His wish is granted by the family panditji who tells him that Jai had a son and gives him the possible letters of the child's name.
While Avinash continues his "nice" act with the Pandit, Veer walks of in a daze....
Meanwhile Ayeesha and Nihaal grapple with their upcoming separation in the form of Nihaal shifting to boarding school. Ayeesha goes to buy Nihaal ice cream to cheer him up. He returns to their quaters and starts to pack but, has to make a hasty escape when the Pest Control people arrive to spray their quarters. While trying to avoid notice of Choksi, Minnie, and other staff, Nihaal ends up in Veer's cabin. Veer soon enters his cabin and is contemplating Nihaal's words and thinking that his brother has left him an angel whom he just has to find. His angel - Nihaal- is closer then he realizes (just behind the sofa infact). Nihaal curses his fate that he ended up in his Maasi's boss' cabin and wonders whose picture Veer is talking to. Fortunately or unfortunately Nihaal does not learn that Veer is talking to his dad's tasveer. Nor does he get caught by Veer or Minnie, who comes to ask Veer if Pest Control can spray his cabin too. It's a well acted tension creating scene that eats up time, but does not really progress the story. It does show the positive influence Nihaal is already having on this Ajnabii uncle๐๐(Also forget the hotel's geography during this scene otherwise u will have a headache๐)
The next sweet scene in Ayeesha's quaters also does not progress the story, but gives us sweet moments that Nihaal and Ayeesha can relive during the dark days ahead if Nihaal does indeed go to boarding school. The most touching for me was when Nihaal says - I have lots of friends but, only one massi and i can never forget you. That just might be a line he re-uses if ever Veer or his other family members try to take him away from his maasi.
The episode ends with Veer telling Nandini that he has located Jai's son and that the kid is in Mumbai already. The only person unhappy is Avinash, who vows to the lawyer that he is going to find the child first. (Yippeee - we were right - he's the obvious villain of this M & B kahaaani!)
