Gordon and Samantha had gone to Virginia for 2 days , to visit their family friend. Siya and Betty were talking to each other in the kitchen
Betty said "Siya; Paul is a fantastic guy. Am I right?"
Siya replied "yes auntie. He loves me so.... so..... so....much that what can I tell"
She laughed "I can't judge your happiness Siya" but Siya didn't responded because she knew that she was lying.
Pravin was in Singapore and he rang up to his nephew Abhisht. He was working in Ireland and was planning to come back to India.
Pravin said "hello Abhisht beta"
Abhisht replied "Hello who is there on the line?"
"I am your Pravin kaka"
"Oh kaka , Namaste how are you doing? How are kaki and Danny doing?"
"They're also fine. When are you coming to India?"
"Kaka today only I'm arriving"
"That's great beta , take care of yourself" and he cut the phone.
After arriving in India, Abhisht and his friend Rajeev went to Abhijeet's home because Pravin had asked them to go there.
After they reached, Abhijeet's home , they rang the doorbell. Sumitra and Kusum were working in kitchen; after listening the voice, Kusum said "mane jova do bhabhi" and she went to open the door.
She saw Abhisht and Rajeev at the door and asked "tame banne kona cho, I mean who are you both?"
Abhisht greeted her "Namaste auntie"
Suddenly Sumitra entered the scene and was surprised to see them and said "Abhisht beta how are you ?"
He greeted her "Namaste Kaki"
"Jai shree krishna dikra and who is this boy?" by pointing towards Rajeev . Abhisht replied "he is my friend Rajeev" and he greeted everyone. Sumitra told Kusum that he was Abhisht, Pravin's nephew , then she said "God bless you beta" after this she called out Ananya "Ananya tame kyam cho " and she came downstairs "hum avi rahayo chum. Shu baat che buaji"
Sumitra said "he is Abhisht ; Danny's cousin and he is his friend Rajeev. They will also stay with us for some days" and Kusum ordered Ananya to keep their luggage in the guest room. She replied "ok maa and buaji" and she said "follow me" and both boys obeyed her.
After reaching their room, Rajeev said to Abhisht "this girl Ananya ...."
He asked "what?"
"She is a perfect match for you"
Abhisht smirked and said "achha you know really.... hnn"
Rajeev convinced him "haan yrr I am your friend..." , suddenly Ananya entered the room with chachh and said "have it because it's the last week of March and summer is also approaching"
Rajeev said "thank you very much Ananyaji"
On listening this Ananya smiled and went downstairs in the kitchen.
Pravin had arrived in the evening from the office and Kusum brought tea for him "bhai your tea.."
He nodded and picked up the cup , then suddenly Abhisht and Rajeev came downstairs and Abhijeet was surprised to see them and greeted them "jai shree krishna Abhisht beta and is he your friend?"
Both came and greeted him ; Abhisht replied "he is my friend Rajeev"
Abhijeet asked "are you fine beta?"
He replied "I am fine kaka. Are kaki, Danny and Siya here ?"
On listening Siya's name , both Kusum and Abhijeet went into shock.
Kusum whispered "what ...... Siya......"
Abhisht was about Siya's age and he had met her only 3-4 times. He had only heard about it from his late mother. After Aashna's 2nd pregnancy Abhisht and his family never visited Pravin's family because they didn't got chance. Abhisht lived with his family in Mumbai since his childhood so he didn't had any idea about it.
Sumitra fell in tears and said "Sorry beta Siya is no more"
Abhisht also became sad and said "Sorry I shouldn't have asked about it"
Kusum said "no beta its fine"
After this Shikha and Danny also entered the scene, Shikha said surprisingly "oh Abhisht beta ; when did you come?"
He went to her and greeted her "I am fine kaki. What about you ?"
"We're also fine" and then he went to Danny "how are you my brother?"
He hugged him and said "I am fine bro" then Ananya and Advira also came in the hall .
Kusum said to Ananya "Ananya dikri ; take Abhisht and Rajeev for outing"
She responded "ok buaji " and she took them for outing along with Advira, Danny and Rehan.
Pravin rang up to Abhijeet "hello Abhijeet"
Abhijeet replied "hello Pravin. What happened?"
"Has Abhisht reached your home?"
"Yes.... yes... and he has gone for outing with children"
"Fine"
"When will you come Pravin? I am missing you so much"
On listening this, Pravin laughed "I will come soon my friend , don't worry" and he cut the phone.
In the kitchen, Sumitra and Kusum were still talking about Siya.
Kusum said "bhabhi ; Abhisht has given me goosebumps today"
Sumitra replied "sahi kahe che motiben"
Kusum- bhabhi we all know that Siya is no more but still I think about Siya and her mother
Sumitra- yes you're right motiben but what can we do.
After the conversation both got back to their work.
