LAKSHMAN- ohh hoo.. ayiye ayiye bhabhi ji...
Lakshman teases them as they settled down at the table.
URMILA- so..?? How was your special night.?
Urmila questions Siya keeping her hand under her chin, having a smirk on her face. Siya widened her eyes indicating her to stop these type of questions.
MANVI- arey.? Is that the question to ask.? Can't you see the sudden glow on dii's face?
Urmila and Manvi giggles at siya while she nods in embarrassment.
RAM- ehm.. where is Shatrughan and Shruti.?

BHARAT- bhai.. you are changing the topic.?
Everyone started laughing while Ram looks in surprise at Bharat.
RAM- don't you think you have started talking a lot. Manvi, is that because of you.?
Questions Ram while Manvi pressed her smile.
BHARAT- kya bhaiya aap bhi..? Me to genuinely puch raha tha.
RAM- acha.?
Suddenly Shatrughan and Shruti joins them interrupting their talks.
URMILA- areh.? Where were you both.? Kitna time laga diya...
Shruti gave a look at Shatrughan..
SHRUTI- told you.. not to start your "wrong time romance"..
Whispered Shruti looking at him while Shatrughan looks apologetic.
LAKSHMAN- why you both are looking at each other..?? Hmmm....???
Lakshman looks at them suspiciously while Shatrughan gave a wide smile.
SHATRUGHAN- Nothing... Bas aise hi.
Said Shatrughan having a glass of water while everyone still looks at them suspiciously.
SHATRUGHAN- areh what happened.? Why you all are watching us like this ?
MANVI- kuch to gadbad hai.. Lakshman, find out about this.
Ordered Manvi while Lakshman nods and started staring Shatrughan and Shruti making them more embarassed.
SIYA- stop it now.. bas abhi..bohot hogaya your investigation about everything.
Siya scolded them while everyone kept quiet. Ram's cellphone rang and it was from Rajrishis. He forward the phone to Siya.

Siya giggles at her father. Meanwhile, the waiter brought their breakfast and everyone got busy eating that. Urmila serves the food to siya as she was busy talking on call.
KUSHAL- aur batao Siya... How is everything there.? You all are enjoying.?
Siya's smile suddenly disappeared as Raghvan's thought came in her mind. The moment when she has met with him came into her thoughts.
JANAK- siya..?? What happened?
Siya's thoughts broke hearing Janak. She looks at her side where Urmila was already looking at her. She looks at Siya questioning while Siya nods smiling lightly.
SIYA- nothing papa... Everything is fine here..
Answered Siya looking at Urmila for which she smiles back at her.
SUNAINA- so what is today's plan.?

SIYA- papa.. we will talk later.? Ghar se call araha hai..

RAGHVAN- surprised.? Looking at me.? Or happy.?
Asked Raghvan taking a step near her while she automatically step backwards. She looks at her one side and then at other to find people busy in their own. She again motioned her eyes to look at him and found him staring.
RAGHVAN- by the way. Choice achi hai, tumhare husband ki. "Nan atai virumpukiren.!" (I like it.!)
Said Raghvan in Tamil language while Siya gulped in fear hearing him.
RAGHVAN- and why not. You are too his choice. And you are.... Nice... Too...
Raghvan looks at her from bottom to top and then stare at her. She bows down feeling pathetic by his stare. While Raghvan enjoyed looking at her fearful face.
SHRUTI- dii...

RAGHVAN- oh hii. Mrs Shruti Shatrughan Raghuvanshi. Right.?
Siya and Shruti looks at him surprisingly.
RAGHVAN- what are you ladies looking at.? Wondering how come I know about you.? Hmm.?
Asked Raghvan while Siya and Shruti looks at each other and then at Raghvan in a questioning look.
RAGHVAN- you are forgetting Siya. I am Raghvan.. Raghvan Lankeshwar. I own half of the country. It is not a difficult job for me to find out about my enemies.
Answered Raghvan while Shruti hides herself behind Siya.
SIYA- stay away from us Raghvan. You don't know about the Raghuvanshis. My husband will kill you if he comes to know that you are troubling us.
Said Siya warning Raghvan and holding shruti's hand. Raghvan gave a sudden laugh at her words.
RAGHVAN- well... Let me tell you Siya. There is no one in this planet who can trouble me. Get that very clear.
Smirked Raghvan while Siya didn't bother to answer him back. He takes one more step towards the girls while Siya again turns towards other side.
