Prabha witnessed the happy banter between the Maheshwaris. For few moments, she had decided to talk her husband out of taking revenge from his happy family. But she knew, this is something not possible. Yes, it is possible to not harm the harmony of the family, and she will try to go with this option. As she knew money is something this family doesn't worry about unlike the Patel brother sister duo. If they could, they would have slept on a mattress made of up five hundred rupee notes. And forcibly they made Prabha turn into a money oriented person. But deep down, Prabha was still the same women who used to handle her household with limited financial support from Kamlesh. For whom peace is important not money.

Taking a long breath, she decided to let loose the string that has binded her with Poonam. It's time to put a full stop on the ten years long torture both on her and Poonam. She walked till the lawn table, and kept the tray on top of it.

Jaiprakash: Arre! Prabha tum!

Prabha: Good morning Jai Uncle

Jaiprakash: Good morning. Aaj ki chai tum kaise leke aagayi?

Prabha: Woh....Buaji se baat karne aa rahi thi. Pata chala aap aur woh yahan baithe hai aur Poonam chai la rahi thi. Toh main hi leke aagayi. Buaji kahan hai?

Jaiprakash: Jaya uss taraf hai. Phone aaya hai Namit ka. Ussi se baat kar rahi hai.

Prabha: Oh! Aap chai lijiye. Main unse baad mein baat kar lungi.

Jaiprakash: Baat kya hai? Kahin tum Poonam ke baare mein baat karne toh nahi aayi ho?

Prabha: Ji uncle. Main Poonam se related baat karne aayi hun.

Jaiprakash: Toh kya faisla hai tumhara? Tum Poonam ko Jaya ke saath jaane dogi?

Prabha: Ek baar Buaji ki baat khatam ho jaaye. Main aap dono ko ek saath apna faisla sunana chahti hun.

With that, Prabha left after passing a small smile. Jaiprakash was having mixed feelings. He wasn't able to understand what was going on in Prabha's mind. He didn't want to think negative, and due to Prabha and Kamlesh's past actions, he couldn't think in the positive side as well.

Jaiprakash: Ab toh Shri Krishna hi jaane Prabha ke mann mein kya chal raha hai. Bas, jo bhi faisla ho iska, woh Poonam aur baaki sab ke liye sahi ho.

When Prabha entered the house, she found Poonam entering the kitchen from the other side where her room is located. She looked really good in the mauve kurta and trousers with floral dupatta. Prabha was happy to find our choice suiting Poonam.

Prabha: 10 saal mein pehli baar maine Poonam ko kuch diya, aur woh uss par accha bhi lag raha hai. Kaash maine 10 saal pehle yeh kar liya hota. Toh shayad aaj situation kuch alag hoti. Main, Kamlesh aur Poonam ek sukhi parivaar hote. Ab maafi agar bhi mangne jaun toh kis muh se mangun?

Prabha was lost in her thoughts, when she heard Vishakha screaming Poonam's name for her green tea, and her gaze fell on Poonam who was holding the cup of green tea, was about to climb the stairs. Prabha stopped her, and kept the cup on top of the dinner table.

Prabha: Tum lunch banane ke liye jao. Vishakha khud aake green tea le jayegi.

Poonam: Nahi Maaji! Main de aati hun. Khamakha kyun Buaji neeche aayenge. Main upar chali jaati hun.

Prabha: Maine kaha na! Vishakha khud aake le legi. Meri baat suno! Aur jaake lunch ki taiyari karo. Jao! Baat suno apni saas ki! Aur kuch bhi ho jaaye, kitchen se bahar maat nikalna.

Poonam: J.....jj.......jii M...mm......maa ji.

Poonam ran inside the kitchen and got busy in preparation for lunch. While after two more hollering, Prabha exhaled loudly and replied in a loud voice.
