"Nikita mam!? You're here? Are you the daughter-in-law of Ragini aunty? Wow! Then we are so close in relationship. I am very happy to see you."

Nikita came forward and hugged her student but more like a friend. They shared a sweet hug and later began the questions.

"How are you Jiya? I'm very happy to meet you again."

"Then why didn't you tell me that your mother-in-law is my mom's friend?"

"I just came to know this. Mummy was telling me from long that she wanted to meet Aparna aunty and then we had to meet Shivansh too" The sudden mention of Shivansh brought something in jiya's mind she slapped her forehead lightly and bit her tongue.

"What happened Jiya?"

"Actually I had to meet Shravan but I totally forgot. I need to go"

"Shravan? You know Shravan?" Nikita confusingly asked wondering how she knew her nephew. Then Jiya explained her everything about how destiny brought them close to each other and how their friendship began. Knowing all this a sudden thought made its way by Nikita's mind. She always used to like Jiya and now when her brother and nephew were also happy with her presence then why not she try something for them?

"Mam, please come inside. Let's do one thing. I'm calling Shivansh here and telling him that you have come. Then he could also meet you."

"No No Jiya! Don't tell him anything. Just tell him to come. If you tell him about us then he wouldn't come" Nikita said in a sad tone as if something was their in her mind.

"Why? You are also going there. Then why don't you want me to tell?"

"Actually Jiy, Shivansh always avoids meeting Mummy Ji. From the last six months he never met her. After Pari's death he created a distance among them. Don't know why he doesn't wanna meet Mummy Ji" She revealed the story behind his avoidance. Jiya's heart filled with sadness as she heard what Nikita told. She nodded at her words and walked a little away after telling them to go inside.

"Shravan, please stop crying baby. What happened? Tell me?" Shivansh's tensed voice echoed in the room as he tried to convince his crying son. Shravan kept crying like always as he was missing Jiya. He had become addicted to Jiya in some days, her care and love had affected him so much that now living without her and Shivansh was becoming hard for him. He wanted both with him. As their love made him crave for more.

"Mumm! Mmm!" He cried even more. The lower lip trembled due to the continuous crying. Shivansh patted his son's back hugging him close to his chest. Worry lines were printed on his forehead thinking about Shravan's non stop demand of Jiya. He didn't want him to get addicted to her but his baby wasn't in a state of listening to anything.

His trance broke at the sudden ringing of his mobile. Shravan raised his head looking towards the table where his father's mobile had kept.

Shivansh went towards it as taking the mobile he checked the screen as Jiya's name was flashing. 

"Hello?"

"I am very sorry Shivansh, I couldn't come. How is Shravan? Is he alright?"

"It's okay if you can't come. I can understand. I'll handle him, don't worry"

Jiya smiled a bit knowing that he cared for her. These small gestures were giving peace to her heart as not his love but she was happy with his care too.

"I'm not busy but I can't come there today. Can you please come to my home with Shravan? Please don't say no. It's sunday and you're free too. Please please please" She kept requesting not wanting to hear no from his side as she really wanted him to meet his mother in law.

"Me and there? No Jiya. It's not possible for me" Shivansh hesitated and Shravan looked at his father with curious eyes.

"Please Shivansh, please. I'm missing Shravan so much. Me and mummy will be glad if you come. Please! Please! Please_"

Shravan looked at his father and jumped on his arm trying to shake him.

"Okay" Shivansh sighed in irritation. Shravan began giggling on his father's face as if he understood everything.

Jiya heard his giggling and she too smiled in satisfaction. They ended the call and soon Shivansh headed towards Jiya's house as she told him.

"I'm sorry for Pari. I saw her when she was a little girl." Aparna stated sadly as she just faced the revelation of Pari's death.

Ragini had tears in her eyes as she was unable to control them. Nikita was trying her best not to show them as she wanted to ease her mother-in-law. Hearing all these again Jiya excused herself as she had not the guts to hear it again and then think about Shivansh's pain.

Unable to control herself ragini hugged her friend as she started sobbing. Her wound again raised up. The pain of losing her daughter hit her heart badly. Aparna wiped her own tears and rubbed ragini's back trying to soothe her.

"Please calm down ragini. I can understand your pain. Please calm down."

"I never thought my daughter would leave me like this. Why did it happen? You know Aparna, my grandson is just a year old. I can't even think how he feels when he doesn't see my daughter with him. I don't know what I'll tell him" After relaxing a little ragini pulled back and wiped her tears. They sat there discussing about the same thing.

Whereas outside the mansion Jiya was standing. She was waiting for Shivansh and also to avoid the talks about Pari's death. She was so much in trance as didn't realise about the car coming towards her direction. Again the horn ranged breaking her trance. The car was of Shivansh. He picked up his son and came out of it.

Getting the view of Jiya Shravan's excitement increased up to next level as he instantly jumped in her arms. Both of them pampered each other with kisses and hugs as if they were meeting after a long time. Shivansh was standing at a little distance.

"Seems like you both are meeting each other after decades. Why this drama?"

Shivansh groaned lightly slapping on his son's hip. Shravan turned at him and babbled something, his face was telling he had gotten angry over his father. He wrapped his arms around Jiya and hid his face in the crook of her neck.

Jiya laughed at this and passed a teasing look to Shivansh.

"See, Shravan is angry with you. Dare you try to scold my baby" She said in a warning tone yet it was a playful one.

"Jiya you're spoiling my baby"

"Haa toh? Friends ka kaam hi hota hain bigadne ka. Now let's go inside. Do you guys want to stay here?" She said inviting him inside. Jiya was just praying that her and Nikita's plan to bring them both face to face would work. From inside she was fearing about what if getting upset Shivansh would stop talking to her and leave her forever? What if he never ever see her face again after this?

Whatever it was she just want everything to go well. Shivansh gazed at the surrounding as the garden was beautifully arranged, evrything was neat and clean. He noticed a car outside and decided to ask her.

"Has anyone come to your home?" She wiggled her eyebrow on the way he had pointed.

"Actually mumma's friend has come. This car is hers" He gave a nod as Jiya exhaled a breathe that he believed on her half truth.
