Rudra, who was playing Temple Run on his phone, looks confused after hearing the conversation and asks Jay Ji, "Uncle, you're talking about destruction at our house?"
Jay Ji smiles and says, "My daughter, my tornado, my daughter Niya was talking about it."
Rudra nods and remains silent.
Jiya Ji looks around for Niya and asks Shivani Ji, "Has that careless girl woken up yet?"
Shivani Ji shakes her head.
Jiya Ji gets up, saying, "I'll wake her up."
However, Rudra stops her, saying, "Auntie, you don't need to go. Niya is coming."
Just then, Niya appears, walking down the stairs with her eyes closed.
Manan thinks to himself, "This girl always does things differently. Today, she's planning to fall from the stairs."
Determined to save her, Manan gets up and heads towards the stairs.
Everyone watches Manan, thinking:
Shivani Ji: "My son is going to save his bride, just like he always does."
Jay Ji: "My son-in-law is so caring, even before marriage. He'll treat my daughter like a princess after marriage."
Jiya Ji thinks: "What if my daughter corrupts my innocent Manan?"
Yug Ji sees his own reflection in Manan, who cares for Shivani.
Manan catches Niya and brings her downstairs.
Niya sees her mother, then her father, and rushes to sit in Jay Ji's lap, falling asleep again.
Jay Ji lovingly strokes Niya's hair.
Jiya Ji finds their affection overwhelming.
"Niya, did you come to sleep or work?" Jiya Ji asks.
Still sleepy, Niya replies, "I came to sleep."
Everyone is stunned.

For my hindi readers
Rudra, jo phone mein Temple Run khel raha tha, tabahi ki baat sunkar confuse ho jata hai aur Jay Ji se puchhta hai, "Uncle, aap humare ghar ki tabahi ke baare mein baat kar rahe hai?"
Jay Ji muskarate hue kahta hai, "Meri beti, meri toofan, meri Niya iske baare mein baat kar rahi thi."
Rudra sir hilata hai aur khamaosh rehta hai.
Jiya Ji Niya ko aas-paas dekhti hai aur Shivani Ji se puchhti hai, "Kya woh nalayak ladki abhi uthi nahin?"
Shivani Ji apna sir hilati hai.
Jiya Ji khadi hoti hai, "Main usse jagakar aati hoon."
Lekin Rudra unhe rokti hai, "Aunty, aapko jana zaroori nahin hai, Niya aa rahi hai."
Aisa kehkar Niya aankhein band karke seedhiyon se neeche utar rahi thi.
Manan sochta hai, "Yeh ladki hamesha alag tarah se kaam karti hai. Aaj yeh stairs se girne ka plan kar rahi hai."
Manan khada hota hai aur Niya ko pakad leta hai.
Sab log Manan ko dekhte hai aur sochte hai:
Shivani Ji - "Mera beta apni dulhan ko bachane ja raha hai."
Jay Ji - "Mera damad kitna caring hai, shadi se pehle hi itni care kar raha hai."
Jiya Ji - "Meri beti mere pyare Manan ko kahi bigad degi nahin."
Yug Ji - "Mera beta mere jaise hi Shivani ki care karta hai."
Manan Niya ko neeche le aata hai.
Niya apni mummy ko dekhti hai, phir apne papa ko.
Woh Jay Ji ke god mein baith jati hai aur unke kandhe par sir rakhar wapas so jati hai.
Jay Ji pyar se Niya ke baal sahlaate hai.
Jiya Ji un dono ko dekhti hai aur kahti hai, "Niya, tu sona aayi hai ya kaam karna hai?"
Niya neend mein kahti hai, "Sona aayi hoon."
Sab apna sir pite hai.
