(Edited)

At the garden of the Thakur household.

Ishita was doing her gardening and she had the gardening team following her to work on her instructions.

Geetika was mixing the spices to make the pickle. Laksh was playing Ayaansh who was really happy that he has his chahu's company they were goofing around and running around the garden. The maid entered the garden and informed that lunch was ready. Ishita nodded and removed her gardening accessories, leaving the rest of the work to the servants.

Geetika and Ishita were housemakers while Saanvi use to work in the company. The afternoon lunch was prepared by the cooks and Ishita and Geetika helped in making breakfast and Dinner.

Their parents were free now that Gautam has taken his retirement from the company. They both started going on trips abroad to enjoy their time together and were home a little less now, and when they were, they would go to their high class parties, they were basically just enjoying life now after settling their kids in their life.

Geetika got up and washed her hands and they all walked inside. Ishita went through the lunch boxes of her husband and Hardik and Saanvi's once again. She checked if everything was packed and then gave the bag of lunch boxes to the servant whose duty was to take their lunch boxes to their company during their afternoon break

The ladies including their parents in-law and Laksh sat on the dinning table and ate their food, only Ayansh's babbling voices were heard as Ishita was feeding him rice and lentil.

Hardik tapped on his laptop with his brows frowning, he replayed the video again and again. The place where the accident took place, from the above angle, it does look like the girl jumped from the bushes infront of the car.

He also noted the time when Laksh's car entered the road, a white van had entered the road just fifteen minutes before Laksh's car and had exited the road after him.

"Did you disappear or did you hide?" Hardik whispered to himself while going in a dilemma.

Just then he heard a knock and was broken from his trance. His secretary walked in "Sir, your lunch is here" he says and Hardik nods, standing up and walking to the dinning area.

The company has a canteen for its employees and it had separate rooms and dinning area for higher positioned authorities.

As Hardik walked through the crowd, everyone wished him and he replied back with a genuine smile and nod.

He opened the door and found Abhimanyu sitting at his usual place and using his phone. He frowns "What day is it? Bhai using phone at the dinning table. What happened to your discipline?" he says mockingly and sits infront of him.

Abhimanyu chuckles "I was justing looking at these saree options for Isha" he says and Hardik was taken aback. "Right now big bro, you give her cold shoulder all the time and then sit and order things for her" he says and Abhimanyu dismissed him saying 'tsk'

They went back to their food.

The evening fell soon and everyone was in their respective rooms. Ishita was sitting on the bed scrolling through her phone and breastfeeding her son Ayansh. She heard the door click and her husband entered. She frowned..why is he home early today? She asked herself.
