After outing Ananya, Advira, Rehan, Danny, Abhisht and Rajeev were back home.
Rajeev said "the day was really enjoyable"
Ananya laughed "I hope that you all enjoyed yourself very much"
Kusum said " Children come and have your dinner"
Advira said "no... no.. buaji we had eaten outside so we're going to have rest now" and they all went inside their rooms.
Shikha said "tomorrow my elder sister Menka dii is also arriving so arrange another room for her "
Sumitra said "Don't worry Shikhaji , we will"
Paul and Deren were talking about the upcoming projects ; Deren said "Paul hope that papers would be ready by today"
He replied "Don't worry Deren by today it will be ready" and then Kate entered the scene with coffee and said "coffee for everyone".
Deren asked "where is Jason?"
She replied "he has gone to see the doctor as he is ill"
Paul said "ask him to take care of himself" and all three sat together to have coffee.
Siya was writing her new short stories for children in the park. She saw some beautiful flowers at the florist shop , kept it in the basket of her bicycle and came home.
After reaching home , she was looking at the flowers which she had brought then Samantha saw her and said "Siya since your childhood ; books, camera , chocolates and nature were your love"
"Yes you're right mom"
"In childhood ; you always aspired to be a writer"
In the room, Siya was looking at the paintings made by her . She loved drawing also and it was one of her favorite hobby. Then Paul was back home , she kept her books inside and went to bring water for him .
After she was back with a glass of water, he said "Siya I have came here only for business deal papers not to spend time with your family"
but she firmly said "Paul please after some days , when we will go back home then do whatever you want"
He laughed "why? What happened? Your father is our family lawyer that's why I got married to you"
Siya cried "Paul that's enough. Please stop it"
Betty and Eric had prepared the dinner and Eric asked Betty to call Paul and Siya both for the dinner.
She said "ok Eric"
Then she went to Siya's room to call them and saw them arguing with each other. She also heard them talking and was shocked.
Paul wrung her hands and said "Siya don't cross your limits as I had said you're not my legal wife" and Siya started sobbing and said "Paul please do at home whatever you want to do but not here "
Then suddenly she saw Betty and whispered while releasing herself "Paul leave me . Betty auntie is standing at the door" then she said "Paul and Siya come and have dinner" . Both nodded and went down for dinner.
After the dinner, when Siya was alone in the garden then Betty came to her. She asked "Siya tell me the truth"
"What truth auntie?"
"Paul really loves you" she asked firmly
Siya replied with a sigh "oh auntie how many times should I tell you that he really loves me . I love Paul and I'm really very very happy with him"
"I have seen that how much you're happy Siya" and she holded her arms and asked "Don't lie to me Siya , tell me truth"
Siya started sobbing and hugged her by crying "I am very sorry for hiding the truth from you"
She made her sit down on the stairs and asked "now tell me everything".
Siya told her everything by weeping and said "but auntie promise me one thing"
"What?" She asked
Siya holded Betty's hands and said "you will not tell anything to mom-dad about this "
"I promise you Siya but..."
"Don't worry auntie. I am trying to make place in heart and he still misses his ex girlfriend that's why he is like this"
Betty patted her head and said "have trust on Christ. I believe that one day love will flourish between you both"
And after this they went inside the home.
When Ananya was taking the breakfast for everyone then suddenly Abhisht came to her .
He said "good morning Ananyaji"
She looked at him and said "good morning Abhishtji"
He said "wow dhoklas and jalebis...."
"Its for everyone and I am going to keep it on the table" but he stopped her and said "can I have a bite if you don't mind " by picking up a piece of dhokla and then jalebi. She was laughing annoyingly at him and he said "dhoklas and jalebis are nice"
"So can I go now" she asked annoyingly
He made the way and said "ok madam" and started looking at her with interest.
"I must tell Rajeev about this" and he went to his room.
