At Vihaan's House 🏘 :

"Yeah. . . I guess. But he doesn't talk much except for work these days. Not a word extra." Ajeet says and Vihaan looks at his sister expectantly to ask more.

'बोलेंगे कैसे? मुँह खुल गया तो कांड नहीं हो जाएगा।' She thinks looking at Bhishma's back as he closes the door.
"How is his health?" She asks earning hidden smiles.

[ Translation : 'How will he speak? If he opened his mouth, there will be a big scandal.' ]

"He hardly eats these days. But Dad somehow manages to make him eat. . . . and he is sad most of the times. Silent. I never saw him like that." Vihaan adds casually using the opportunity.

"Hmm . . . . ." She falls silent and thinks, 'If he is doing a drama, he should continue that. This way Dad will not ask him much.'

'Hmph! As if!' A voice taunts making her gulp and think, 'True! That's impossible Dad would not have asked him anything! I'm da*n sure Bhishma himself must have agreed on sending a team to find out my medical history!'

'Isn't it obvious? You lied at his face many times! And you expect him to help you when he catches your lies?' A voice reminds her.

'Da*n it!' Thinks making a face. Meanwhile others were confused watching her expressions change in every second. They guessed she is thinking hard while unknowingly putting her guards down.

"What are you thinking making faces?" Ariv spoils the fun.

Nishi's trance breaks and she looks at him clueless, "Uh?"

"He is asking what are you thinking while making these pretty faces?" Gia asks eating an apple.

"Uh! Nothing." She frowns saying that and thinks, 'These medicines are making me loose my grip without any realisation!'

She sighs and says, "Get his sugar level checked. He is careless most of the times and let me know." She says earning a nod and smile from her brother which she doesn't return unable to see it while looking at the closed door of the study room and mutters, "Stubborn idiot!" Mrityunjay tries not to smile with Tej as they heard it. They always found it adorable seeing her care towards their Uncle. Their beautiful friendship was a beautiful inspiration for them that age doesn't matter when it comes to friendship which increased their respect for the duo.

Arika tries not to chuckle. She was excited by just the thought of her Uncle soon facing his best friend's wrath. 'That will be a binge watch!' She thought with a smirk.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of him." She looks back finding Ajeet smiling at her softly. She nods humming.

Nishi was on her wheelchair and notices that others are sitting on the four sofa sets which were faraway from each other. She makes an irritated face looking at her seniors and classmates who were sitting on the green wooden sofa sets with Kabir and Ritesh on two chairs and asks, "वहां से खेलोगे क्या?"

[ Translation : "Will you play from there?" ]

"तो फिर? There is not much space left on these sofas." Kabir says and Vihaan nods.

[ Translation : "Then? There is not much space left on these sofas." ]

"ये dole-shole किसलिए बनाए हैं? हाँ? खिसकाओ दोनों sofa को इस साइड।" Nishi says folding her hands gesturing towards the sofas with her chin.
