Imlie  woke up late that night , she had slept through the rest of the day, Chini was ready with a plate of food.

Ch- Amma tumhara khana aa gaya! Chalo you eat and then baba will call you, he tried you many times since morning

I- Chini ! Look at me, what did you tell him?

Ch- I told him nothing I just said you were sleeping!

I- good don't tell him anything right now and if he asks just tell him I overslept today!

Ch- I don't understand you Amma! How can you please lie to him? Do you know how much baba worries about you? He texts me 100 times a day to check on how you are doing! You tell not to lie and your lying yourself!

I- Chini things are not so simple every time, tum abhi CHOTI nahi Rahi! Jiss din hummne Tumhe iss sab mein involve Kiya! Saari galti Meri hi thi! Par Tumhe yeh sab samajhna hoga, Iss duniya mein kaise jina hai woh sikhna hoga!

Ch- I don't want to hear anything, at least my baba never lies!

I - are you sure about that Chini? He just lied to the whole world including his family that he is dead! Not just that, he made us a part of it! His 7 months pregnant wife and his teenage daughter!

Ch- Amma stop saying that, I won't hear anything against baba! He is perfect he never does anything wrong!

I- let me finish! Iam not saying he did anything wrong! Yeah your dad lied but it was for our good right? I am doing the same thing for him, I don't want him getting worried! Are you understanding what I'm trying to say! Not everything is black and white there are a million shades of gray!

Ch- what are you trying to say? I don't understand it! Why can't you just call him and tell him what the bad man did? He has a right ty to know!!

I-I am saying that life is complicated. Things cannot always be defined or judged in simple terms. "Life is not always black and white, it's a million shades of grey." As there's no right or wrong, it depends upon the perception of the person. Because in every action, there's a reason. We can't just judge someone by what he/she had done, we must look beneath and underneath. Every act affects everything even if only indirectly. It's always been like that.

Ch- now you are just making things up! Instead of a philosophy lesson, why don't you just tell baba the truth! Tell him what happened this morning, he will be do worried about you and you don't even care!

Imlie was beginning to lose her temper and her patience, it had been an emotional day and imlie was getting tired of Chini's presumptuous questions.

I- No Chini , you are growing up now! you have to understand - Nothing is permanent in our life.... there will be times when you will be happy like anything .... Pure sparkle to your face....radiating white and pure! And there will be times when you will be surrounded with Ocean of Sadness. Ocean filled with BLACK WATER....OR Clouds at their darkest phase....Nothing may make sense and you will feel blank...So, life is mixture of both...thus, grey is somewhere between...The HAPPY -SAD thing...Nothing like only white OR only Black....Changes are certain...... So are the Grey moments

Ch- I think I got it  ! But I don't understand why older people have to make everything so complicated! Why can't we just throw that man out of the house and get baba to come back! Just give me a reason! why?

I- Because of you! If we throw him out, then we would lose you! So me and ABP are stuck in this hell, happy now? Do you have your reason finally??

Chini began crying after listening to Imlie.Imlie immediately realized what she had just said, she had blamed Chini for their condition and she was ashamed of herself, all of this lying to the family and seeing Aditya constantly around was taking a toll on her and she had lost her cool on her daughter! Her Chini, who had been nothing but a pillar in her life lately! Imlie got very apologetic and sad about her behavior.

I- Chini humka maaf kardo! I'm so sorry, I don't know how I could say such a horrible thing! that is not what I meant ! None of this is your fault! We are not going through a y of this because of yo, please believe me!

Ch- it is my fault Amma! My own mother abandoned me , you cared for me , lost your own baby and your family trying to save me, but you still became my family and then gave me such a beautiful life and wonderful relationships! But what have I done , first my mother and now my father wants to ruin your and Baba's happiness. I'm not even really a part of this family and yet Iam the constant source of your  unhappiness!! Baba should be here with. You right now but because of me he has to hide and what about Dadi, buaa, nani and Sundar chachu!! They all are sad because of me !
Imlie's heart broke after hearing Chini's thoughts, she blamed herself for her thinking these things.

I- Chini ! Why are you thinking all this? Who told you these things? I was angry and I said something I shouldn't have but that doesn't mean you question your place in our family! You are my daughter you understand that , my first and most special daughter! You gave me a reason to live Chini! after I lost my Chiku and my ABP, I was ready to die but you gave my life a purpose! And I know you will not question ABP's love for you, he loves you so much Chini, he was ready to leave his entire life behind if it meant he could continue to be your baba! And about Dadi,nani,buaa and chachu, they will also choose you every single time over everything else in the world!

Ch-But Amma i-

I - You nothing chinu ! You are and always be Chini Aryan Singh Rathod, daughter of Aryan and Imlie Singh Rathod, now and forever! Now please stop crying for me!

Ch- you also don't cry amma! Please ! I didn't want to make you sad!

I - you didn't make sad! I was the one who really hurt you today Chini! Why else would you question your place in this family?

Ch- Amma please! I know you didn't mean anything and don't say sorry, I believe you and I know how much love me! I love you too!

Imlie and Chini both began crying and hugging each other, just then aryan called and asked if he could speak with Imlie. Chini declined and said that Imlie would call him after she's done eating! Imlie kissed Chini and they both had a good time eating together, things had be said that never should have been said! But at the end it only brought them together, Imlie thought. This had been an emotional day for Imlie .She finally got around to calling Aryan and hoped to stay strong after the events with Aditya in the morning!
