Meanwhile, Pushpa is seething with anger after feeling insulted at the hotel. She demands to know why Arya didn’t show up and turns to Anu for answers. Anu, trying to keep the peace, asks Pushpa to let it go, explaining that Arya is a busy man with many responsibilities. Despite Anu’s attempts to downplay the situation, she feels a deep sense of hurt and disappointment due to Arya’s absence. Seeking solace, Anu retreats to the terrace, where she allows her emotions to surface, crying as she recalls the heartfelt feelings she expressed in a letter to Arya.
As Arya arrives home, he is greeted by the familiar sights of his family, but he is lost in thought, oblivious to the warmth around him. Anu’s hurt feelings linger in the air, and Mrs. Vardhan, also known as Gayatri, calls out to Arya, but he remains distracted and heads upstairs. His behavior raises concerns for his mother, while Mansi, his sister, wonders why Arya is so preoccupied that he neglected their mother’s call. Curiosity piqued, Mansi follows Arya to a locked room, eager to uncover what troubles him. However, Gayatri intervenes, preventing Mansi from entering, insisting that Arya’s private space is off-limits to everyone else.
Mansi, undeterred, expresses her determination to learn what is inside the room and why Arya feels compelled to visit it during his times of distress. Gayatri firmly tells Mansi to respect Arya’s privacy and to leave him be, heightening the mystery surrounding Arya’s secretive behavior.

Meanwhile, Harsh, another character in the story, comes up with a business idea and shares it with Mansi. As they discuss potential plans, Mansi suggests they investigate the secrets behind Arya’s locked room. Harsh warns her that no one is allowed to enter that room, but Mansi is undeterred, playfully speculating whether it contains treasure or something morbid. Harsh, trying to maintain the mystery, tells her to stop asking questions, but Mansi insists she will uncover the truth soon.
