Meghna served Neelu a glass of cold drink, taking one for herself, and sitting beside her on the sofa.
"toh ab kaisi hai aapki bhatiji?" asked neelu, as meghna sipped from her glass of cold drink.
"delivery ek dum thik rahi, bacha bhi ho gaya hai ab ek mahine ka.." informed meghna.
"maine toh kaha tha purvi ko, chuti lelein, araam karein...hum khayal rakhenge na uska, par nahi!" exclaimed neelu, as meghna chuckled.
"arre neelu ji, ab gaon mein hi reh gayi hain yeh baatein...aaj kal toh ladkiyan bacha bhi caretaker ke saath chodke kaam pe chali jaati hain...baaki, ladke bhi paternity leave lelete hain...acha hi hai.." remarked meghna, as neelu just nodded.
"toh aap seedha apne ghar kyun nahi gayi?" questioned neelu.
"arre socha tha kavin-purvi se milungi, unke office jaane se pehle...par kavin aaj railway station se pick karte hi mujhe keh gaya ki dono ko jaldi jaana hai.. maine kahan koi baat nahi, tu chaleja...main aapse hi mil lungi...ghar jaate hue.." stated meghna.
"arre koi baat nahi, main phone karti hoon purvi ko, shayad hum sab isse lunch ke liye surprise karein.." suggested neelu, as she started to dial purvi's number.
"hello..." received purvi the call, as neelu felt like her daughter was about to faint.
"hello, purvi, beta?" questioned neelu, as she heard purvi vomit, and got concerned.
"kya hua, sab thik hai?" asked meghna, as neelu shook her head in no, and kept down the phone.
"humein chalna hoga, kuch gadbad hai..." informed neelu, as meghna nodded.
"main kavin ko bhi phone kardeti hoon." stated meghna, as they both left for her house.

Ishita drank more of the lemon water, as she was being comforted by another woman, almost her age, maybe slightly above, rubbing her back, as the expectation of getting better, didn't help.
"ishu, tum araam karlo ghar jaake, tumhare appointment main lelungi, koi baat nahi..." she assured, as ishita somehow made herself sit properly.
"nahi, i'm fine.." stated ishita, as she glared at her.
"cancel kardo dopeher ke liye, shaam tak aajana...reschedule ho jayega.." she suggested, as ishita nodded, only for her stomach to ache when she got up.
"dushyant ko phone kardon, lene aa jayega?" she asked, as ishita shook her head in no.
"main chali jaungi, thank you, Dr. Shardha.." obliged ishita, leaving as quickly as she could.

Neelu helped purvi lie down, after she was finished drinking the ENO. Meghna, brought some oil.
"lao kamzuri ho gayi hogi, main tel laga deti hoon, tumhe aur bache ko bhi takat milegi, huh.." stated meghna, as she took out purvi's feet from the sheet.
"haan bache, ho jaata hai kabhi-kabhi pregnancy mein...gas ho gaya hoga tumhe.." assured neelu, lovingly brushing purvi's hair, as she started to feel a little better.
"bilkul kavin jaisa niklega dekh lena, usne bhi bada tang kiya tha mujhe.." recounted meghna, as neelu chuckled.
"isne kaunsa kam tang kiya tha, huh.." remarked playfully neelu, as purvi couldn't take it anymore.
"main pregnant nahi hoon ab..." confessed purvi, leaving them both shocked.

dushyant had covered his face with his hands, as if he had started to get a headache. he looked around, only to find the office crumble down completely, as it was already 1pm, he had realised this will go on for long.

kavin took the three golpappas and gulped them down at once, as the shopkeeper, just found it hard to keep at pace with him, it's like he was gulping down his worries, stress, anger, anything he could feel at the moment, as when his phone rang again for the call, he just switched it off, feeling like he didn't want to talk to anyone or do anything...just be...
***
ishita entered, worried and scared, to purvi's room.
"kya hua? aapne phone kiya tha.." asked ishita concerned, noticing neelu and meghna in shock and rage, and purvi in tears.
"hua kya hai.." attempted ishita to comprehend what had just happened.
"mera miscarriage ho gaya hai...it might be rape..." informed purvi, as ishita was shocked.
"kaun tha.." attempted ishita to know, as purvi just shook her head in no.
"humne toh tumhe phone kiya tha ki kavin ya dushyant ka phone nahi lag raha hai..." stated meghna, as ishita started to get flashbacks of last night.
"kya sameer, sach mein...." neeru was left disgusted.
"shayad unhone mera bhi.." revealed ishita, as meghna and neelu were shocked.
"main apna ek mahina ka bacha abort karake aayi hoon..." revealed ishita.
"par dushyant toh.." attempted neelu to say he had been gone for two months, when ishita nodded.
"usne mujhe maarne ki koshish ki hai..." informed ishita, as everyone was left speechless.
