AUTHOR'S PROV

"Come, everyone the food is ready" Pooja called everyone from the dining room.

All the members seated in the living room stood up from their places and started walking towards the dinning room.

As they all get seated, Pooja came and stood beside Alia and started to serve her. Alia looked at at hand clad in bangles and frown as she remember servants serve and they don't wear these bangles and come now.

She raised her head and looked to see her mother's standing there. She looked at Pooja and was looking to say something but stopped looking at her face.

She then again looked back to her plate. She looked at the food and found it to be all her favourites.

She started to eat her food and by taking her first morsel she knew it was made by her mother.

She unknowingly smiled at that and her cute smile was not gone unnoticed by everyone.

Everyone present there smiled after seeing her smiling. They all ate their dinner.

As they all finished their dinner, Alia stood up to go and the heart beat of Gaint and Pooja started beating fast.

They wanted to say something but knew she will not listen to them so they looked at their parents for help.

As if understanding their inner turmoil, Jasvant and Janki Malhotra looked at Alia.

"Alia beta don't go" Jasvant started.

(Beta- an endearment used to call a child )

Alia was going to say something but sensing that she is gonna deny it Janki interupted her with her emotional words.

"Yeah your dadaji is saying the truth, and you we are not getting any younger too and we want you to live with us Aalu"

"But dadima I - "she was saying but this time Anushka interupted her as Prashanti signaled her.

"Iya she is right you I'm pregnant too that too it's my third trimester and my baby too missed you. Can't you stay here with us?" She said with batting her eyelashes as she knows how much Alia give importance to emotions.

And her weakness is seeing anyone crying and they hit on the right nervous of her.

Alia looked at her family and somewhere she knew this was coming and she had came here with a full prove plan.

"No I can't, as I have a book of mine to get it published and it's not completed so I have to complete it and my things are at my place" she said

Karthik shook his head at her lame excuse. And think to entered the picture.

"That's it?" He asked.

Alia confusingly nod her head him.

"It's fine I would ask the guards to get ur things here by tomorrow" he said.

"Nooo" Alia literally yelled.

Karthik raised his one brow at her and smriked.

"So you are staying right" he said

Alia looked at her parents and nodded.

" I will stay here for a week then will go" she though in her mind, planning for future.

" Good" Pooja chippered excitedly but calmed down realising what she is doing.

Gaint shakes his head knowing his both woman are same by antics.

"Come " Pooja gestured her to follow her.

Alia nodded as she followed her and Janki smiled. As they can see that the relation between them are getting better.
