EPISODE 11: "The time it takes for one's heart to move"

nokhi tries to figure out why Shaurya helped her mother, but he denies that he wanted to be a hero or likes doing good deeds. Finally she asks, "Then do you like me?" and after a long, long pause, he answers a simple, "Yes." He thinks, She asked, and she thinks, He answered.

Ahir waits at the airport for Anokhi to return, knowing she has no place to stay. He watches her return and pace back and forth as if she's not sure what to do.
Finally he calls out to her, and at her strange expression, he asks if something happened.

She blurts out, "It's Shaurya Sabherwal. He likes me," and Ahir's smile falters.
We see more of the conversation between Kitty and Yash outside the Fox Bride Star bar. Yash asks if Shaurya requested to be transferred to Terminal Two, and when Kitty accuses him of being overly dramatic, he says that what's dramatic is the way Shaurya walks around as if he's perfectly fine.

He claims that it's impossible for Shaurya, who lost all nerve feeling in his right arm and leg, to appear so normal.
At home, Shaurya uses a remote device to open a secret door in the wall, and steps up to it to take out what looks like a piece of his arm prosthetic.

Kitty tells Yash, "Sometimes, things that can't be explained by common sense happen like miracles. And that miracle happened to Shaurya." Yash asks if she's saying it was all a coincidence and a miracle, and she says it's true, warning him to stop talking about Shaurya's disability.

Yash had asked his question a different way: "Shaurya's arm... what is it? You say it's a coincidence and a miracle. What's the truth behind his unbelievable arm?"

In voice-over, Shaurya says that what seems impossible to one person can be a miracle to someone else. He puts on the new, slightly different prosthetic and looks at it in the mirror, and thinks of Anokhi 's necklace attaching himself to his arm: "And a moment that seems to pass like a coincidence could feel like fate to another."

He remembers her walking into the Fox Bride Star bar one day, the first time he ever saw her. He heads to the bar and knocks until Bartender Shaan answers.

Ahir asks Anokhi if she and Shaurya are dating now that he confessed. Anokhi explodes that she has no time for that when she doesn't even have a home, nor would she date a coworker, and that she plans to tell Shaurya so tomorrow. Ahir looks incredibly relieved.

Although Bartender Shaan said it would take a day to fix Shaurya's prosthetic and advised him to take a day off work, Shaurya asks him to fix his arm now. When Shaan asks why, Shaurya just says he really wants to go to work tomorrow.

Reema kicks so much butt in her and Anmol's marital arts class that a classmate asks Anmol if she's upset about something. He asks her and she says no, then invites him to go a round. It makes Anmol hilariously nervous, but he agrees, and is immediately slammed to the mat, ha.

Anokhi is still storing her things in a back room at the airport, strategically arranged behind some cardboard sheets. But after she gets dressed for work today, the cardboard slides down, exposing her suitcase.

Shaurya is so cute - he can't quite suppress his smile on his way to the office, but he's disappointed when Anokhi isn't at her desk yet. She's hiding from him, nervous because she said she was going to reject him this morning.

She starts to compose a text to him, but while she's still working out how to word it, Manager Alok sneaks up on her and reads part of it. He thinks Shaurya asked her to borrow money, and he doesn't believe her that that's not the case.

She gives up and goes to her desk, studiously ignoring Shaurya, which gives him a chance to take cute little love-struck peeks at her (oh, my heart). Anokhi can't quite catch him at it, but she's so hyper-aware of him that when Manager Alok calls Shaurya's name, she accidentally answers. LOL.

Manager Monty calls the team leaders together to discuss the public's positive reaction to the way they handled the recent emergency. He says the airport CEO is coming to personally thank them, and that they've gotten fewer complaints overall since Kitty came on board.

Yash asks Team Leader Vicky how Security is managing the support devices of employees with disabilities. Team Leader Vicky says dryly that they aren't, because it's a matter of privacy. Yash tells Manager Monty that one of their employees wears support devices on an arm and leg that may not be safe, and Kitty cuts in, taking offense to Yash's attempted violation of Shaurya's privacy.

He argues that their passengers' safety is more important than one person's privacy. Kitty doesn't see how a support device could be dangerous, but Yash just says that's why they should check and make sure.

Manager Monty orders Team Leader Vicky to check the device that's upsetting Yash so much, and report to him. After the meeting ends, Kitty asks Team Leader Vicky if he's really going to do it. He says he's obligated to, and Kitty warns that as soon as he tries, Shaurya will quit, but it doesn't change his mind.

As he walks through the terminal with Anokhi , Shaurya thinks, "All I ever wanted was to live a quiet, normal life. I just wanted to live each day and focus on the present with someone by my side like this." He grins at Anokhi 's obvious discomfort, until she finally rounds on him.

She stammers that their conversation last night doesn't mean they're dating, but he says the thought never occurred to him. Anokhi says that she only asked if he likes her because she thought he'd say no, and he asks why she thought that.

Anokhi tells Shaurya that she's taken aback by the fact that he likes her, but he doesn't see the problem. She asks him, "Why me? I'm... I mean, I'm..." and he seems to find her confusion amusing. She finally concludes that she's too average for a guy like him, who's good at everything. She asks if he thinks of her as easy, and when he says he doesn't, she says it makes no sense for him to like her.

She brings up that they've only known each other for three weeks. Shaurya replies, "Why is that important? It can take a heart three weeks, three years, or three seconds to start liking someone." Anokhi asks if he thinks he can fall for someone in three seconds, but he just says that each person can have a different memory of when they first met someone.

Anokhi asks if he truly does remember their first meeting a year ago, when he saved her life. He thinks that that's the first time she remembers seeing him, but he remembers seeing her at the Fox Bride Star bar.

Suddenly someone bumps into Anokhi , throwing her into Shaurya's arms. After a long moment of shock on both their parts, she steps back to complain. She realizes that her hand is on his right arm, and she looks at him with questions in her eyes. Shaurya yanks his arm away violently, then he looks embarrassed, apologizes, and quickly walks away.

A group of rough-looking men walk into the Terminal Two office and surround Team Leader Tez's desk. They accuse him of destroying their livelihoods, but he just notes that they reek of alcohol. The leader of the group orders Team Leader Tez to release the valet parking service but he says he can't.

He tells the men to go home, but instead, they all take their jackets and shirts off and lie down on the floor. Manager Monty calls Team Leader Tez from his office, worried about the CEO's upcoming visit, but Team Leader Tez doesn't seem that bothered. Manager Alok tells his coworker that Team Leader Tez and Manager Alok were hired in the same year, and were best friends - until Manager Monty was promoted.

When Shaurya gets back to the office, Kitty pulls him aside and tells him not to go into the terminal for a while, or do anything to stand out. He asks why, and she warns him that Team Leader Vicky will be investigating him soon.
