Paul was having rest in his room and Siya was there taking care of him. Emma came inside the room with medicines and said "Siya ma'am" , she turned and asked "yes Emma have you brought the medicines?" . She replied "yes ma'am" ,Siya asked her to keep it on the table and go ; she did as asked.
Stella was in the hall worried then Kathy came and said "Ma'am doctor has said not to worry about it because inhaler was given on time to him"; on listening this she stood up and said "ok thanks Kathy"
Kathy came inside the room and said "Siya ma'am"
She asked "yes Mrs Kathy?"
"Stella ma'am has asked you to give this inhaler to sir after 1 hour" and she handed it to her.
After 1 hour after inhalation, Paul started coughing badly and she went to get him a glass of water with his medicine but as she was about to give it to him he threw it away and holded her wrists tightly and said "what do you want?"
She trembled and replied "nothing Paul why will I harm you" then he brought her closer to her and said "go away from here , I don't want to see your face. Just get lost ".
On listening this tears started flowing from her eyes and she began sobbing. She ran into the balcony ,sat down on the swing and began to sob then her phone rang. She picked it up and replied "hello dad..."
"Hello Siya what happened? Why are you crying?"
She twisted the story and said "dad actually because of one mishap Paul is not talking to me..."
He became puzzled and asked "what had you done?"
Then she told him the whole story but didn't mentioned about Paul's attitude towards her. He scolded her "Siya your mother-in-law was right to scold you but you didn't had an idea about it. So next time take care".
She replied "I will dad. Goodbye " and she kept the phone.
After the conversation, she burst out into tears and cried "sorry dad for lying to you. I don't what punishment I will get for lying to you all".
Shikha was bouncing the gift then Menka asked "Shikha are you going to any function or birthday party?"
She laughed "no its for Pravin"
Then after some time Pravin entered with a smile on his face, Shikha said "I knew that your meeting will be successful so I have this special surprise for you" ,he asked "Really?" then he opened the gift and said "wow wifey". She said "I had taken out 10,000,00/- rupees from your account for the gifts for everyone". On listening this he got shocked and said "Shikha why did you took out that money?"
She angrily cried "why Pravin? Tell me .... you have to tell me...."
He sighed and told about the debt of Desai family which had to repayed in 6 months.
After he went away, then Shikha laughed "now Desai family's home will be ours in some days" on watching her Menka smirked "Shikha what a dream. Hope that it comes out to be true".
Siya stopped sobbing and came inside then Stella came to her and said "Siya please don't be sad. It was only just a mishap"
She replied "mom if something would have happened then who would have been responsible for it".
She soothed her and said "Siya don't worry go and take care of Paul". She nodded and went back to her room, where he was asleep after taking his medicines.
