Deva closed his eyes trying to control his anger when he felt Siva holding his hand making him open his eyes to see her sitting near him saying "I know you are angry but that doesn't make everything right. If you want them to pay you have to be patient and bring out the truth".
Deva looked at her then at their hands before pulling back from her hold as she got up and arranged the pillows before covering him in sheets "Get some sleep we've a pooja tomorrow" and was about to get up when he spoke "What did that poojari say that you are so worried?" making her lick her lips but turned saying "Nothing. And I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about my paycheck" and walked towards the door mumbling "Good night" before walking out of his room after switching off the lights and closed the door behind her.
Deva came downstairs to see the living room decorated for pooja and poojari gaaru arranging everything for the pooja and instructed "Deva baabu please change into pattu vastralu and sit in pooja" making Deva sigh and went to change into traditional dhoti.
Deva sat in pooja without shirt and only in dhothi with a shawl covering his torso and followed poojari gaaru's instructions to start pooja when the Raayala and Gupta family came inside making Noel whisper to Prem "What is their family doing here? Did you invite them?"
"I invited them" Siva said as she held the akshintalu plate making them look at her as if she has grown a second head while she continued "It is necessary to take elders blessings and it is really a good omen if it's your own father".
"Boss will not like this" Prem said tensed making Siva look at Deva who was pouring ghee into the homam as she said "I'll face the consequences" and walked to him handing the akshintalu to poojari gaaru.

Then went to the kings greeting them "We are glad you are here your majesties please take your seats" who returned it politely and took their seats on the couch making Deva look at them from the corner of his eyes fisting his hand and was about to get up when he felt Siva kneeled beside him making him turn to her.
"I know you are angry but don't you dare get up until homam is done" Siva warned making him grit his teeth as she continued putting his palm on her top of head "Meeru pooja lo nunchi leste nenu chachinanta ottu (If you get up it means I'm dead)".
"Siva. Why did you suddenly arrange the homam?" Hima asked making her think for an excuse when Maniamma interrupted "It's a good thing Sivamma arranged it Dr.Hima after all the incidents happening in a sequence it'll be a good omen for Deva baabu" making her nod.
"You are right Maniamma after everything from past few days we really need this to assure that brother will be fine" Gayatri said making them smile as Maniamma went away handing flowers to poojari gaaru.
"Ayya! Homam is done. Now call your parents forward so they'll bless you for your long life. Nothing is greater than the parents blessings" Poojari garu said making Deva monotonously say "My parents died when I was a child. I have no one" which made everyone look at him.

Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek
