After three days, Roeena was at the Bangalore airport. They were sitting in the lounge of the Airport. Reena was in Rocky's embrace and Rocky was patting her back whispering soothing words to her. The announcement for Reena's flight was made, Rocky gently broke the hug and kissed her forehead deeply. "Shona, I know you are brave enough to handle this temporary separation, if uncle talks about marriage call me immediately, Okay?" said Rocky rubbing her cheeks with his hand. Reena just nodded and stood up and picked up her hand luggage, Rocky forwarded a small box. She took it and opened it to find a small button cell phone and a charger, she looked at Rocky surprised. "For emergency purposes." Said Rocky hugging her again. Reena hugged him back for a brief moment and left the place.

London Airport

Reena reached London and finished the formalities and stepped out of the Airport, her eyes searched for her father frantically, she felt at home as she breathed the air of London after a year. She found Rajendra Desai waiting for her and ran to hug him. "I missed you a lot, Papa." She said. "Even I missed you, Princess." Said Rajendra Desai reciprocating the hug. They reached Desai's mansion, "Reena you freshen up and come let's eat." Said Rajendra Desai. Reena walked to her room and opened it and found her room the same as she left it. She sat on the bed and saw her mother's picture on her bedside table. She took it and said, "Ma, I hope Papa accepts my relationship with Rocky."

 She kept the photo back and took her phone and left a message to Rocky that she has reached London safely. She showered and went to have food with her father. She felt happy eating the food made by her father after a long time, she felt tears lining up her eyes and she brushed them away before her father could see them. After having her food Reena spent the entire day sleeping as she had jet lag. The next day, Reena came down rubbing her eyes and found her father poring over the newspaper. She smiled and sat next to him and hugged him. Rajendra Desai smiled and patted her arm. "How is my little flower?" he asked. "Feeling good Papa." Answered Reena. Rajendra Desai nodded and said, "Get ready we are going out to Neasden temple." "Okay." Said Reena and went up to get dressed up.

 They reached the temple after breakfast, they worshipped, and sat under a tree. "Reena Bache, do you remember what I told you before leaving for India." Asked Rajendra Desai. Reena was shocked as she didn't expect this question so soon. She just slightly nodded and remained quiet. "What happened Reena why are not opening your mouth?" asked Rajendra Desai. He just chuckled and said, "I will never force you into some relation, take your time. Are you having someone in your mind?" he asked making Reena shocked again. "I know you are smart enough to know what's right and wrong, I trust you and love you a lot beta. 

Have fun at the same time Stay safe." Said Rajendra Desai patting her head. Reena smiled thinking how considerate her father was. They left for their home and for the rest of the day Reena processed her father's words and smiled to herself. Reena checked the time and video called Rocky during the night in London. Rocky immediately attended the call. "Shona baby you are safe nah, I saw your message but I was waiting for your call." Ranted Rocky. Reena waited for him to finish his speech and told, "Rocky, I am right as rain and I had a great time with Papa.

 We visited the mandir here and he told me not to worry about marriage as he trusts me." The last line made Reena's eyes line with tears, Rocky understood her feelings and said "Baby, don't fret over things like this. We will win the hearts of our Parents with our love." They chatted for a while and Rocky cut the call as he saw his Shona sleeping like a baby, he was a bit jealous as she was hugging a teddy bear, and he wished that he was in the place of that silly teddy. The next morning, Reena went shopping for Rocky, Reya, and Shakthi. She walked in the streets of London thinking about the happy times she spent there. She enjoyed herself thoroughly, though she missed Rocky and Reya a lot.

Meanwhile in the Bariya mansion,

Ram Bariya was checking some files and Priya Bariya came near him with a cup of coffee. "Ram here is your coffee." Said Priya forwarding the tray. Ram took the coffee and gestured for Priya to sit on the sofa near him. "Priya, this is the report on Raja's work in the office. The manager gave an excellent report on his work. He was sincere, punctual, and organized that's what this report says about him." Said Ram passing the file to Priya. 

She read the report and said, "I know about my son, he is the best." "I think Raja has become more responsible and mature now." Said Ram as he sipped his coffee. "Age is one of the important factors, even you started behaving responsibly when you were his age." Said Priya keeping the file back. "Anyways, as he has started to earn a good name in our office, I am also going to start to hunt brides for him, I want a perfect sanskari bahu who will take care of my Bache and head this family after me. And I want to see my grandchildren soon too." Said Priya with a dreamy expression on her face.
