After finalizing the terms of their contract relationship (Anokhi insists on a written contract - smart move) Anokhi Bhalla and Shaurya head outside, where he saves her from an oncoming car wth a quick embrace, which he releases her from instantly.

"I didn't do that on purpose," he informs her. He tells her she'd better keep her word, and she replies that of course they both must, extending her finger for a pinky promise. He folds her finger back down without a word and leaves.

In her bedroom, Anokhi Bhalla writes "King of all devils" on her calendar - she's agreed to meet him once a week as part of their bargain, and wonders if she's done something crazy. What if he's a pervert? But, thinking of her idol oppa Anmol, she decides to give it a go.

Noting down her dinner plans with Shaurya for that Saturday, she looks down at the long, handwritten contract and reflects, "I don't know if I can trust that man."

Shaurya takes his own copy of the contract to Lawyer Yash, who asks who Anmol is.
Shaurya says he doesn't know, but this is what the "teacher" wanted most, and she's sent Shaurya to get the contract notarized since she doesn't trust him.

Lawyer Yash smirks at Shaurya calling Anokhi Bhalla "Teacher" and observes that she's a formidable woman.
Shaurya snorts that she's a shrewd fox, and tells Lawyer Yash not to make a copy of the last page.

His friend protests, saying she has a right to know that Ahir is a marriage candidate too-does Shaurya realize he's asking him to commit an illegal act?
Shaurya says she already knows he's not a good guy, and he doesn't want her to find out about Ahir.

We see our two leads' typical workdays; she heads home on the bus after school, but he works late, has meetings into the evening, then goes to the gym at night.

Morning comes, and Anokhi Bhalla arrives at work to be greeted by teams of workers fulfilling all her playful requests to Shaurya about improving the school.
There's even a k-pop star sized mirror in the dance practice room, which Anokhi Bhalla, shocked as she is, happily uses with her students that afternoon.

Afterward, she rushes to meet Shaurya at his hotel, pausing before she goes in to check her appearance in the window before reminding herself that she doesn't need to look pretty for him.

She apologizes for being late, and thanks him politely for everything he did at the school.
He says he's merely kept his promise, and she has to do the same.
Anokhi says six months should fly by, and Shaurya replies that today is only the beginning - what does she want to do? She's unsure, so he suggests a concert.
There's a cultural festival at his hotel that he has to attend anyway.

Anokhi Bhalla wrinkles her nose and suggests going out to eat instead. He says they can just eat at the hotel; they have a decent Japanese restaurant.
Anokhi Bhalla declines, saying the food there isn't worth the price, and brightly suggests chaat-pakodi instead.
