Everyone in the Rathore family knows that Kul Purohit Ji's words shouldn't be taken for granted. However, Meghna isn't able to grasp the words because this is her first time meeting him. Still, she keeps quiet seeing the expressions on others' faces.
"Varu doesn't understand anything, Mister Prince." Varenya tells Kavyansh who looks at her with a small smile.
"Purohit Ji said that you're very brave and you will keep your Kiwi save from every harm." Kavyansh replies making Varenya to nod her head eagerly.
"Yes, yes Varu keeps Kiwi safe forever." Varenya says tightening her hold on Kiyansh with determination.
"That's like my good Varu Tai. Now, let Purohit Ji starts the puja and then we will have more fun things to do." Jivika remarks while everyone agrees with her.
After that the Lakshmi-Ganesh puja gets started by Kul Purohit Ji and throughout the whole time, Kavyansh keeps a close look at Varenya to see if she reacts seeing the aarti thali or the diyas. But much to his surprise she doesn't react at all as if she isn't scared.
Finally, the time comes to do the aarti for Kavyansh so holds the thali along with Varenya and Kiyansh stands in front of his parents folding his hands together. Kavyansh shows Varenya how to do aarti who happily complies in response.
After the Puja gets over, Jivika gives prasad to everyone while Varenya follows her by holding the end of her saree. Meanwhile, Shivansh picks up Kiyansh in his arms and walks out of the palace to burst firecrackers.
Shivansh has bought various types of firecrackers for his nephew because this is his first Diwali with the family. Usually they don't burst firecrackers much because they keep busy with interacting with the guests in the party. But this year, there aren't any guests so they can enjoy the festival by doing whatever they want.
"Chachu, have you brought all these for me?" Kiyansh asks looking at the firecrackers in front of him.
"Of course, these all for you. If you want more just tell me, okay?" Shivansh asks making Kiyansh's eyes widen.
"No, Chachu. They are more than enough. I have never burst any crackers before. So, can you teach me please?" Kiyansh asks shyly while Shivansh chuckles.
"Let's go and I will teach you everything." Shivansh replies kissing Kiyansh on the forehead just as Adwait and Ritika arrives there.
"Bhaiya, I will teach Kishu to burst Lakshmi Bomb." Ritika says excitedly.
"Are you out of your mind, Tweety? He is a five year old kid. He should learn to burst Anar or Chakri first." Adwait remarks scowling at Ritika who rolls her eyes in response.
"No, he will first learn to burst Fuljhadi." Jivika says arriving there.
"Varu will burst Fuljhadi too, Angel." Varenya remarks looking at Jivika with a pout.
"Are you sure, Varu? Won't you get scared?" Adwait asks looking worried like others.
"Yes, Varu is a brave girl." Varenya replies sassily.
"Okay then first we are going to burst Fuljhadi and then other things." Shivansh says making Varenya and Kiyansh to clap their hands happily.
Shivansh then takes two big Fuljhadi in his hands and starts lightening them by putting them over the flame of candles. Kiyansh and Varenya looks very interested to learn . Meanwhile, Jivika, Ritika and Adwait looks at each other with confusion.
"Shouldn't Varu Tai be scared seeing the big flame of the candle?" Jivika asks in a low tone so that only Ritika and Adwait can hear her as they are standing a little away.
"That's what I am thinking as well and now I am sure that her parents haven't died in some house fire." Adwait replies.
"But it can also happen that her parents got killed by someone before the same person set the house on fire. Because I have seen the place where her house used to be and the issue about the house fire isn't false either." Ritika remarks just as Kavyansh arrives there.
"We can talk about this later. Right now let's enjoy the festival." Kavyansh says making everyone agree with him.
Adwait puts Kiyansh on his shoulders who is holding two Fuljhadi in his hands while Shivansh is bursting Anar holding Varenya's hand who is giggling loudly. Meanwhile, Jivika and Ritika are busy chasing the dogs throwing flower petals on them as the furry babies can't burst any crackers. Kavyansh is the one to record everything in his camera as he wants to capture these beautiful moments forever.
Soon the elders of the family comes out of the palace and feel delighted seeing their kids being this happy. Especially, Meghna who is thanking God for giving Varenya and Kiyansh such a beautiful family. Although at first she wasn't happy with Kavyansh marrying Varenya in such condition. But now she has understood that perfectly that Kavyansh and his family is best thing that Varenya can have in her life. Not only that, she and Kiyansh are completely safe here with surrounded by the whole family like a safety barricade.
"Mister Prince, Varu wants to sit on shoulders like Kiwi." Varenya says rushing towards Kavyansh while pointing at Adwait and Kiyansh.
"Lotus, I am having pain in my shoulders." Kavyansh replies knowing well it won't look appropriate to do what Varenya wants.
"Okay then Varu will tell Scary Man to put Varu on shoulders." Varenya says making Kavyansh's eyes widen who quickly pulls her in his arms.
"No way you are going to ask anyone else to put you on their shoulders." Kavyansh remarks possessively wrapping his hands around Varenya who looks confused.
"But Varu wants to be like Kiwi." Varenya whines while Kavyansh wants to bang his head on wall.
"Adwait!" Kavyansh calls out loudly.
"Yes, Bhaiya?" Adwait asks still holding Kiyansh on his shoulders.
"Put Ansh down and teach him to burst different crackers." Kavyansh replies.
Adwait shows thumb up in response and puts Kiyansh on the floor. On seeing this, Varenya runs towards them leaving Kavyansh alone who's mouth hang opens in shock.
"What happened, Bhaiya?" Shivansh asks standing beside Kavyansh looking innocent as if he hasn't heard his brother and sister-in-law's conversation already.
"Don't try to tease me, Shivansh. The hell is wrong with my Lotus? Can't she stay with me?" Kavyansh asks looking frustrated.
"I hope now you understand how it's like to feel when someone else take your wife's attention away from you." Shivansh says petting his older brother shoulder who glares at him. But instead of getting scared Shivansh starts laughing loudly while Aaradhya and Pratap looks at their sons with fondness.
"This is what we have always wanted. To see both of our sons being happy with their life partners and being each other's strength." Aaradhya remarks with a soft smile on her face.
"They are each other's strength because of your upbringing. You have never discriminated between them and that's why they have learnt to value others with equal respect." Pratap says looking at his wife with a gentle smile.
"I haven't done anything alone. You have supported me in every decision and that's why I am able to do everything. So, don't give me the whole credit." Aaradhya replies making Pratap chuckles before he wraps his hand around her waist.
"Whatever you say, my Queen. Because like my sons even I can't disagree with my wife. Because a happy wife means a happy life and I am a true believer of this quote." Pratap remarks playfully while Aaradhya giggles in response.

After bursting a lots of fire crackers everyone come back inside to have dinner. The whole family sit together and have a delightful dinner before going back to their bedrooms. As Adwait is staying the night in the palace, Kiyansh has decided to sleep with him. So, after getting changed into his night outfit Kiyansh runs to Adwait's room.
Meanwhile, Kavyansh has helped Varenya to open her hair by removing the bobby pins in her hair. Varenya then goes to the washroom to get fresh after changing her clothes into the closet. On the other hand, Kavyansh checks his phone to see if Basheer has sent any e-mail and his face hardens seeing the e-mail sent by an unknown e-mail address. However, before he can read the whole thing Varenya walks out of the washroom wearing her current favourite Panda onsie.
"Mister Prince, how is Varu looking?" Varenya asks twirling around while Kavyansh chuckles seeing his cute wife.
"My Lotus is looking the cutest Panda ever." Kavyansh replies pulling Varenya on his lap who wraps her hands around his neck.
"Really?" Varenya asks looking at her Mister Prince with wide eyes and her lips strech into a big smile.
"Yes." Kavyansh replies nodding his head but gets stunned when Varenya suddenly kisses him on the cheek.
"Varu is thank you, Mister Prince." Varenya says happily. But when she notices that Kavyansh isn't saying anything she pokes him on the arm harshly making him flinch.
"Mister Prince, if sleepy then sleep on the bed. Don't sleep with open eyes." Varenya says tilting her head to the side while Kavyansh can only blink his eyes in response before he clears his throat.
"Umm, I will go and get fresh first." Kavyansh replies with a flushed face because Varenya has this power to make him shy by doing small things.
"Okay, Varu will wait here." Varenya says pointing at the bed and gets up from Kavyansh's lap.
Kavyansh quickly rushes towards the closet and takes a few deep breaths. He then holds his left cheek where Varenya has kissed and a silly smile appears on his face making him feel giddy from inside. He knows that Varenya doesn't understand the concept of the relationship between them. But still her small actions gives him a big hope that she will get better very soon.
Kavyansh then changes his clothes and gets fresh in the washroom before making his way to the bed where Varenya is lying down on her back. This will be the first time for them to sleep alone after their marriage. But Kavyansh knows his boundaries so he isn't worried about anything. So, he slides down beside his Lotus and looks at the I-Pad in her hands where she is watching the cartoon show named Tom and Jerry.
Kavyansh wraps his hand around Varenya and pulls her closer to him making her pout for getting disturbed. But then she starts giggling seeing the way the cat is unable to catch the mouse.
"Lotus, it's getting late. Let's sleep for now." Kavyansh says and goes to take the I-Pad but Varenya turns around putting her back to his front.
"No, Varu isn't sleepy. So, Varu will watch cartoon." Varenya replies making Kavyansh sigh.
"Oh, so it means you don't want to hear the new story. Okay fine then I will tell the story to Kiyansh only because he listens to me like a good boy." Kavyansh remarks making Varenya to drop the I-Pad immediately and turns around to face her Mister Prince with a big pout on her lips.
"Varu is a good girl too." Varenya says narrowing her eyes at Kavyansh who raises his eyebrow in response.
"Oh is she really?" Kavyansh asks making a shocked face.
"Yes, Varu is the bestest girl ever. So, Mister Prince has to tell Varu the new story or Varu will complain to Mister Prince's Papa, Mister Prince's Mumma, Scary Man, Adi Uncle, Princess Mulan, Angel, Daddu and Kiwi." Varenya replies while Kavyansh gasp.
"Oh my God! I am so scared, Lotus. Please don't complain about me." Kavyansh says faking a scared voice.
"Okay but then tell Varu the new story fast fast." Varenya replies with a huff.
Kavyansh inwardly laugh seeing the way Varenya's nose has turned red because this is what happens when she gets frustrated. He then pulls her more closer to him and makes her lie her head on his chest before he starts telling her new story that he has created in his mind.

Meghna is sleeping in her room when her phone starts ringing. So, she picks up the call without looking at the caller ID. But instantly her sleep gets vanish when she hears the voice from the other side.
"You need to be careful. Because they are planning to harm Kiyansh." The person says from the other side of the call.
"But why? He hasn't done anything to them." Meghna replies getting up from the bed while her hands starts trembling in fear.
"You know how those people are. They are not going to spare anyone, not even a small kid who doesn't have any idea about what's going on." The person says in a worried tone.
"I am thinking that the time has come for Varenya's in-laws to know everything. Because I feel that these people will definitely save Varenya and Kiyansh." Meghna replies wiping her sweaty forehead.
"I totally agree with you in this. Also, I have learnt a very big thing about the Rathore family, especially about Shivansh Singh Rathore." The person says making Meghna confused.
"What do you mean?" Meghna asks.
"That day you were saying that this family is not what it appears from outside. So I did a detailed investigation about them and I got to know that Shivansh Singh Rathore is not just the King of Rajasthan but is also the king of the Indian underworld. His cousin Ritika and best friend Adwait are also involved in Underworld." Meghna's eyes widen hearing everything because this is definitely not something she has assumed to hear.
"Are you sure?" Meghna asks to confirm because she can't believe all these things.
"Yes, this information is perfectly true. That's why I am telling you that this family is the only option we have to fight against the people who are trying to kill Varenya and Kiyansh. So, tell them the truth and let them handle the situation." The person replies and disconnects the call while Meghna drops on her knees. Because it's a lot to take in for her yet she now understands the strong aura she feels whenever she talks with Shivansh.
"Shivansh is the King of Indian Underworld and that's why he emits such strong aura. But what about Kavyansh? Why do I feel scared whenever he looks at me as if there is something dark hidden inside his personality?" Meghna thinks to herself with confusion.
