When Sandhya can no longer hear her laughter, she slowly approaches the sofa. However, Prakram shifts his position, still holding Aashi tightly, and just as Sandhya approaches the sofa, she suddenly screams.

"Caught you…"

However, Prakram had relocated, so they were no longer present. As a result, Sandhya placed both her hands on her waist and began warning them.

“What do you all think? I won't be able to find you; I will find you.”

Aashi starts laughing again, but this time pressing her mouth properly so that no one can hear her voice. Prakram becomes delighted and begins to convey to her, using gestures, the importance of minimizing noise to avoid detection. She also nods her head, indicating to Prakram that she fully understands the situation. Now she will always remember this.

Everyone is having fun playing, and Digvijay also runs straight deliberately in front of them and hides quickly, due to which Avishka starts laughing out loud because of the way he has suddenly gone and hidden. Everyone here knew very well that he was doing this to attract Sandhya's attention. Sandhya noticed him hiding and was taken aback by his actions. She was lookingat his side with very big eyes. Digvijay glances at Avishka and shares his thoughts.

"Tell Sandhya to find me."

Avishka is laughing very loudly after listening to him; it is very childish and cute. She signals Sandhya to find Digvijay, but Sandhya moves towards Digvijay with both her hands on her waist so that she can scold him for his mischief. She was about to scold him, but as soon as she approached and stood near Digvijay, he immediately took her in his arms, pressed her against the wall, and hid with her. As a result, Avishka quickly turned away, pressed her mouth to suppress her laughter, and then burst out laughing in the middle of the hall. She suppressed her laughter because she knew that Digvijay often engages in such behavior, which perfectly reflected their love for each other. Every time she sees their immense love, she remembers her parents. Both of them were a very ideal couple in her view, and she had always thought something like this about herself. Often remembering old things, she becomes both sad and happy at the same time, and ever since she has seen Digvijay and Sandhya, she has started finding her parents in both of them because she is more similar to her parents. At the same time, in Vishnu and Padma, it seems as if she has such loving parents that even if she wants to, she is not able to distance herself from them. Even if both of them have not given birth to the child, the kind of connection that has developed between them is just that of a parent and a child. She is extremely happy to see Aashi in her life, and for Prakram, her heart suddenly starts wiggling some new dreams for herself, but she is very scared of everything. In her thoughts, she steps away from the situation and speaks to Aashi in a slightly louder tone.

“Aashi, now I am coming to search for you, and I know that I will find you.”

Aashi gets very excited and starts jumping into Prakram's arms because she always likes playing games with Avishka.

Prakram becomes extremely excited when he sees her in this state, and he makes a concerted effort to ensure she doesn't easily catch them. To this end, he constantly switches positions while holding Aashi. Initially, Avishka begins to search for the place where she believes both of them are hiding, but she finds it empty. She has come to understand that Prakram and Aashi are disappearing repeatedly, which has led to a huge smile on her face. She really likes his mischievous act and wants to play more.

Avishka begins diligently searching for both of them, but each time Prakram shifts his location, she is unable to locate them. Digvijay and Sandhya also emerge and begin their own search for Aashi and Prakram, with everyone's voices joining in the chorus. The voices resonate together, and Aashi is thoroughly enjoying all these activities. Finally, Prakram decides that this time he will let Avishka find where the father-daughter duo are. After a while, Avishka suddenly appeared and caught them. She is thrilled to see them and shouts loudly.

"Caught you…"

Aashi starts laughing loudly, then gets very excited about the game and tells her father this.

“This time I will find everyone; you all hide.”

On hearing this, Digvijay immediately holds Sandhya's hand and takes her with him. Looking at Sandhya, it is clear that she is trying to stop him, but Digvijay has completely disappeared with Sandhya. Prakram knows very well that Digvijay deliberatelyleaves no chance to trouble Sandhya, and every time he keeps troubling her in some way or another, he starts laughing at seeing both of them. But he also thinks of mischief, like his father.

Prakram looks at Avishka, and Aashi starts counting by placing both of her small hands on her eyes. Avishka starts to hide by going somewhere, but Prakram immediately catches her and takes her to a corner with him. He hides her well while pressing her against the wall, and he himself stands very close in front of her. Avishka starts looking into his eyes. He leans lightly on her and stares into her eyes. She says it meekly.

"Somebody will come..."

"To catch us..."

Prakram quickly completed her sentence but didn't move away at all. As soon as Aashi finishes counting, everyone starts looking for everyone. Avishka tries to look towards Aashi, but Prakram immediately holds her face and turns her towards himself, preventing her from looking anywhere else except towards him. Prakram's eyes always force her to look at him. But she wants to save herself from these eyes because she knows that if Prakram finds out about her someday, she will never be able to see through these eyes, which she is able to see now.

She places her hands on his chest and tries to push him away from her a little, but Prakram holds her hand on his chest, gently wraps it around his waist, and comes close to her and hugs her. Prakram understands that both of them are starting to feel attracted to each other, and he has no problem with this. However, Avishka keeps stopping herself from getting close to him, despite his understanding that Avishka also likes him. For some reason, Avishka keeps stopping herself from gettingclose to him, which makes him want to continue his efforts. After all, he knows very well that husband and wife, even if they don't want to mingle or attract each other, get tied into an unseen thread where they automatically start liking each other, no matter what the foundation of the relationship is, if both are compatible with each other. They automatically start liking each other. Avishka just wants to keep her head on his chest because every time his heartbeat gives her a strange kind of peace, which she has been trying to find for a long time because this confusion troubles her a lot, she gets a lot of relief.

Both of them were fully engaged with each other when suddenly Aashi came there while searching for them, grabbed their legs, and started shouting loudly while jumping.

"Caught you…."

Both of them also start laughing along with her and come out. She soon catches Digvijay and Sandhya too, and then Digvijay says so as soon as she comes out.

"Now that I am bored with this game, let's play blindfolded; it will be fun."

Digvijay says all this with mischief in his eyes, due to which Prakram immediately starts laughing. Aashi starts liking the new game very much, so she immediately starts making a loud noise. Digvijay quickly grabs his handkerchief and blindfolds Sandhya. Quickly, Sandhya is trying to find everyone, and all of them are disturbing her. Sometimes Digvijay teases Sandhya by taking Aashi in his lap, and sometimes Prakram takes Aashi from Digvijay and tries to tell her his position by teasing his mother by touching her. Avishka is also playing with them, and there is a constant smile on her face. Finally, Sandhya catches Prakram.

Prakram quickly blindfolds himself and tries to search for everyone, but due to a strange feeling, he only senses Aavishka's fragrance attracting him. Within a few moments, he holds Aavishka's hand and walks slowly towards her. He pulls her towards himself, takes her in his arms, removes the handkerchief with a smile, and starts looking at Avishka. Everyone is bursting into laughter and clapping in response to this scene. Aashi starts shouting loudly.

"Now it's Mumma's turn..."

But on hearing all this, Avishka, who was laughing a lot, suddenly gets scared seeing the blindfold in Prakram's hand and frees herself from him by pushing him back with force. Her eyes are only on the handkerchief held in his hands. However, Prakram is closely observing her face, to the point where even Digvijay and Sandhya are unable to understand her. She turns and runs upstairs quickly. Nobody understands anything.
