"Papa ji?" Hema hesitated on seeing Yashjeet quite calm, since the moment he was back from orphanage. She also knew he had gone with Nandini, hence why, she's getting scared with Yashjeet's calmness.

"Appa?" Sujata stood on the other side, and held onto Yashjeet's palm, gaining his attention. "Huh?" he looked startled, as he was lost deep in his thoughts.

"You don't look fine, Appa." Sujata said, worryingly and Hema too bent to have a look at Yashjeet's face. "Is something bothering you, Papa ji?" Hema questioned, smiling encouragingly, and Yashjeet sighed out loud.

"Nothing, bete. I am--fine." and Yashjeet leaned back in his recliner chair. "I was just--thinking. The normal daily thinking that I do." he smiled at the two ladies, who looked at each other before nodding at him.

"If you say so, Appa." Sujata said, smiling at him, followed by Hema. "Papa, dinner is ready." Mallika called out, walking towards the living area, while Vandana got busy with the servants to make the table ready with food.

"Okay!" Yashjeet stood up, and moved towards the dining area. "Hema!" Sujata moved towards Hema and held her hands, while looking at Yashjeet taking his seat at the head-chair. "Something is up. I can see it on Appa's face." Sujata whispered to Hema, who nodded her head in agreement to her statement.

"I think the same, Bhabi. Why would he be so silent all of a sudden? He didn't even go to office, today." Hema said, to which Sujata's worries only increased. "Do you think pari said something about Shekhar or Mishti?" Sujata asked, and Hema's eyes widened. "Hey Bhagwan (Oh my God!)" Hema palmed her face, and chanted prayers in her heart.

"Bhabi, why are you acting like some dramatic movie actress?" Mallika frowned, while walking towards the ladies, who glared at her. "What? What did I do now?" she asked, her forehead creased in confusion.

"Why isn't anyone here yet?" they jumped hearing Yashjeet's grumpy voice.

"Coming, Papa ji." they said in unison, before moving towards the dining area. "Why are you acting all grumpy today, Papa?" Vandana, who was standing beside Yashjeet's seat, asked confusingly, and the three ladies showed their eyes to shut her up.

"I am not acting grumpy." Yashjeet stared up at Vandana, blankly. "Oh!" Vandana nodded. " I meant, why are you being grumpier than your usual self?" She rephrased her question, and Yashjeet glared up at her.

"Vandana!" Sujata moved towards Vandana, smiling sweetly at Yashjeet. "Appa is fine. He seems to be just tired." Sujata held Vandana's hands, and squeezed it, which is her way of asking her to quit asking questions to the angry Murthy.

"Okay." Vandana shrugged and smiled sweetly at Yashjeet, before squinting her eyes at the ladies, asking them to let her know about the hell going on. "Where are others?' Yashjeet asked, gaining the ladies' attention.

"Papa ji!" Sooraj's frantic voice stopped Mallika from calling out for the men, again. "Papa ji!" Sooraj screamed out, and Yashjeet lifted his eyebrows in confusion. "Why are you shouting, Sooraj?" Yashjeet yelled out, and Sooraj stopped at the table, panting heavily.
