Dhruv reaches the doorstep of his house. Just then he remembers the thing he wanted to tell Myra, the reason why he went to the chemistry lab.

"OH! Shit!" Dhruv's forehead creased, he massaged his temples. His mind is still muddled with the earlier kiss. He dialed her number which was switched off, he tried many times but it was switched off.

He knew he had to tell even though it didn't look at important, but his gut was telling him not to ignore this information, this is to be told Myra. He was about to go to Myra's house just then his housekeeper came and yelled his name.

"Dhruv!" The housekeeper said.

"Yes, aunty." Dhruv said.

"Your mother, she's not well though she keeps saying she is but I reckon she is very ill." The housekeeper just said this and Dhruv rushed to her mother's bedroom.

"Mom!" Dhruv said worriedly, his mom's face was a bit pale, she had bags under eyes, she looked so fragile and tired.

Her mom was keeping things on the drawer, she set a white pot with a plant on her bedside table.

"Mom, what happened? Aunty told me you're not feeling well." Dhruv pleaded.

His mother turned his head towards Dhruv and kept a hand on his cheek, "Dhruv, I'm fine there is nothing wrong with me. It must be because of the weather. It's fine dear. If I feel anything I'll call Dr. Grewal. So no need to worry." Dhruv looked at his mother, she sounded okay but if you look at her face she looked ill. There are very few instances when her mother was sober.

"It's fine mom. I'll stay by your side." Dhruv said and put his bag down and sat near her mother's bed.

"No no dear you don't have to do that, okay I called Dr. Grewal in the morning she said I'm fine." Kalindi reassured Dhruv.

"You did?" Dhruv asked her mother and looked at her housekeeper but she just shrugged.

"Okay mom, but please take care and call me if you need anything." Dhruv said.

"Dhruv are you going out?" Kalindi asked.

"Yes mom, you need something?"

"Yeah if you could bring me some coconuts, I've been wanting to drink some coconut water for sometime." Kalindi said smiling.

"Okay mom sure." Dhruv said and went out of the house.

"Myra are you not going to talk to me?" Amy shouted while Myra went to the kitchen

"Myra are you not going to talk to me?" Amy shouted while Myra went to the kitchen. Dee was sitting on the dining table casting a dark look on her face, she had her face in her hands elbows propped on the table. She was oblivious to all the yelling going on in her house, her mind is still going on about yesterday's events.

"Amy please I said I don't want to talk right now." Myra retorted angrily, Ayesha's words had gotten into her head.

"Oh GOD! What is going on in this house? One is not talking to me the other doesn't want to talk and all she does is sigh and shakes her head when someone asks her to tell what happened. Lately I've been the only one being mature." Amy exclaimed.
