After that tears ran down he sat on the floor he was feeling guilty for Swati. He understood that Saransh is doing all this with Swati. He wiped the tears off and opened the letter

In letter

Hello I don't know who are you but I guess my daughter is with you please take care of her anyways I am Dev Malhotra father of Tripti I lost my wife when she was giving birth to both of my daughters yes she haves a twin as well she is a pre mature baby. She is really weak also her heart and lungs may not work if she will eat much junk food now she is just 4 months so she drinks only milk but when she gets older please don't let her eat all this things. Also please never let her know that you guys are not her real parents she will be really hurt also her bones are not really that strong so please take care that she don't jump over here and there you must be wondering if I care for her so much then why did I left her alone it because someone sent me a video where my they are fitting bomb in my parents house and few man were holding them and kept a knife on their throat and the wan who was recording it asked me to bring Tripti to xxx place and leave her at first I was not agreeing but then he sent me more videos where many of my close people were dying then I thought I can't risk many lives for a single life weather it's my own daughter maybe before the men come and take Tripti you took her with you. I am really greatfull and also this is a necklace  please give it to my daughter when she turns 10 please that's all I want to say thank you so much for taking care of my princess and yeah don't let her eat this much junk food

He sat there while leaning his back on the wall just then he gets a call from one of his friends Anushka who is a teacher in the same school

Anu: hey buddy
Sid: hii
Anu: actually I want to talk to you about Swati's behavior she is being so quiet and also not paying attention at class and also I have notied many times in her dance class most of the time she is zoned out and also the test I took before a week she got 38 out of 50 she has always been a topper what happened to her now
Sid: actually she is same at home also her fav thing to do is dancing whenever I ask her she says I am not interested now whenever I ask her to study she says I have studied before so no need to worry
Anu: I think something is going on in her mind she is always zoned out
Sid: yeah maybe and also you know what today she went somewhere and came back drunk
Anu: I guess she is being so careless do one thing be a lil more strict with her for sometime you know sometime guardians have to be strict to bring their kids on line
Sid: ok bye see you on Monday

She started cry after sharing those things Sid hugged her. She cried her heart out she felt light after sharing things with Sid after a few minutes as she calmed Sid aparts the hug and kissed the tip of her nose

Sid: crying doesn't suits on baby tigress and should we start studying
Swati: what if I say no
