The next morning, everyone gathers in the dining room for breakfast. Jaimi and Aarush walk in and take their seats at the head of the table. Jaimi has Darshan on one side and Nisha on the other while Aarush has Arasi on one side and Avantika on the other. He clenches his jaw, but Jaimi passes him a small smile to calm him down. The staff comes out with breakfast. They place a plate filled with different delicacies in front of Jaimi and Aarush. The others serve themselves. Everyone is waiting for Jaimi and Aarush to start. 

Avantika: Aarush, aaj tumhare liye tumhari favorite Khaandvi banae hain meine. 

Chandani: Aur, meine aur Sangeeta didi ne tum dono ke liye jalebi banae hain. 

Bhavna: Dono bacche kitne saal baad humare paas wapas aae hain? 

Jaimi and Aarush raise their brows in amusement. Chandresh is about to take a bite off of Jaimi's plate when she stops him. 

Chandresh: Rani sa?

Aarush: Jisne jo banaya hain wohi aaj meri aur Jaimi  ki plate se chakhega. 

Arasi: Yeh inn sab ki insult hain! 

Jaimi: Let it be, Ms. Shetty! Hum humari jaan kyu risk mein dale? Past mein kahi baar hume zeher deke maarne ki koshish ki gae hain. And nonetheless, yeh iss ghar ka rule hain! Iss ghar mein rehna hain toh rule manana padega warna bahar ka raasta security dikha degi. 

Aarush: That too very gladly!

Ayesha chuckles but quickly presses her lips together seeing she drew attention to herself. Aarush subtly winks at her. 

Ayesha: Jaldi se chakho mujhe bhukh lagi hain!

Sangeeta: Par hum kyu chakhe? 

Ayesha: Problem kya hain?

Jaimi: Agar aap sab ne kuch milaya nahi hain toh chahkhiye! Chandresh Uncle.

Chandresh takes Jaimi and Aarush's plate and holds it in front of those who cooked to taste. They all taste the food. After a wait of a couple of minutes, they all start breakfast knowing that nothing was added to the food. Nisha and Khushi get up from their seats, but Jaimi sees that Nisha's plate still has food. 

Jaimi: Nisha, khaana finish karo.

Nisha: Mujhe bhukh nahi hain!

Aarush: Iss ghar ka rule hain ki khaana waste nahi karte. Sit down and finish!

Nisha: Mera pet bhar gaya hain. Mujhe aur nahi khana hain!

Jaimi: Jitna khaa sakho wahi lena chahiye tha. 

Nisha: Itna bada matter kyu bana rahe ho? Iss ghar mein kitne naukar hain? Un mein se kisi ko de dena!

Jaimi: Kaam karte hain aur mehnat se kamate hain koi ghulaam nahi hain. Respect se baat karna sikho!

Anil: Respect ki baat kaun kar raha hain? Abhi apne parivaar se khaana chakhwane wali?

Jaimi: Haan mein hi baat kar rahi hoon kyu ki paiso ki aur mehnat kar ke kamaane walo ki izzat karna aata hain mujhe!

Khushi: Daksha Bua aur Ved Kaka ke paiso pe raaz karne wale aaj hume bataenge ke mehnat karna kya hota hain?

Aarush: Kaunse paiso pe raaz kiya woh bataiye? Jo har parent karta hain apne baccho ke liye wahi unhone humare liye kiya tha. Ved Patel aur Daksha Patel ka naam toh aap sab ne use kiya hain! College ke admission ke liye, scholarships ke liye aur kya nahi!
