Abhir was searching for Ruhi for a long time and he found her sitting on a bench.
She was sitting hugging both her knees and crying with her head bowed. Abhir got scared seeing her condition and quickly ran towards her and sat next to her.

" Roohi kya hua tu ro kyu rahi hai " Abhir asked while putting his hand on Roohi's  shoulder.

" Mu..mujhe pa..papa ke paas jana hai. " Roohi said in a heavy voice and her eyes and nose were all red because of crying and she came in a normal position.

" Par Kyu tujhe to bohot maza aa raha tha to phir tujhe chachu ke paas kyu jana hai. " Abhir Said.

" Mujhe unki bohot yaad aa rahi hai " Roohi tried to say between her sobb.

" Kyu aisa kya hua? "

" Maine abhi apni mumma ko dekha " Roohi said and Abhir gets shocked and scared too.

" Ye tu kya keh rahi hai aisa kaise ho sakta hai teri mumma to... " Abhir said.

" Mujhe wo sab nahi pata maine waha ek aunty ko dekha wo meri mumma jaisi dikh rahi thi or maine unhe touch bhi kiya wo ek insaan hi thi " Said Roohi who was still sobbing.

" Pehle tu rona band kar. " Abhir said this and wiped his sister's tears with his small hands and hugged her so that he could support her and understand her condition.

" Mujhe mere papa ke paas jana hai,  please. " Ruhi said, she was still hugging Abhir and Abhir was gently rubbing her back to calm her down as she was not stopping crying.

" Rooh, Ye to tujhe pata hai ki agar tune abhi ye baat chachu ko bataya ki hum yaha par hai to wo bohot gussa karenge or humein daatenge or wo abhi nahi aa sakte na hum yaha se jaa sakte hai isliye hum kaise bhi yaha par or 2 din adjust kar lete hai or hum ye baat kisi ko nahi bataenge. " Abhir said while breaking the hug and wiped her tears once again.

" Par meri mumma ka kya? " Roohi said.

" Agar wo yaha par hogi to hume zaroor dikhayi degi, or hum ye baat papa ko nahi bataenge warna wo Chachu ko bata denge, okay " Abhir said and she nodded just then Abhimanyu came and he was looking very much worried.

" Beta aap dono kaha the?, main kabse aap dono ko dhund raha hu, or Rooh aap ro kyu rahe ho? " Abhimanyu said while coming towards their level and cupping Roohi's face.

" Papa Roohi kho gayi thi isliye wo dar bhi gayi thi or wo yaha par baithkar ro rahi thi " Abhir lied.

" Im sorry meri galati thi jo maine aap dono ko akele jaane diya agli baar se aisa nahi hoga I promise. " Abhimanyu said.

" Its okay poppy, ab hum chale hume bohot saare games bhi to khelne hai " Saying this, Ruhi got up from the bench, held Abhir's hand and both the children ran into the crowded area.

" Dhyaan se warna gir jaaoge " "Abhimanyu said.
The children passed these two days somehow and by now Ruhi had forgotten that incident.  And now finally the day has come to go home.

At Birla House :-

" Aaj finally bacche wapis aa rahe hai, ab ghar ki ronak bhi wapis aa jayegi " Manjari said happily while decorating the cake they had prepared for the kids.

" Or Roohi ke liye to sabse bada surprise bhi hai ki uske papa 2 din baad nahi balki aaj raat wapis aa rahe hai " Akshara said while putting some stuff on dining table.

" Aaj jab Neil bhai aayenge to Roohi unhe dekhkar khush ho jayegi or humne uske birthday ke liye itni saari preparations bhi to ki hai. " Nishtha said.

" Waise Nishtha tune sab kuch sahi se kiya hai na? Nahi to uske papa pura ghar sar par utha lenge, sach  main mere bete ne in 6 saalo main prove kar diya ki wo ek best papa hai. " Manjari said while getting emotional.
Then all three of them heard the voices of children and all three went into the hall.

" Didddaaa " Roohi and Abhir came towards manjari and she hugged them so tightly.

" Aaj Finally tum teeno aa gaye tum dono ko pata hai humne tumhe kitna miss kiya " Manjari said while pulling their soft cheeks. 

" Humne bhi aapko bohot miss kiya " Both said together.

" Ab tum teeno jao or fresh ho jao, or aaj shaam Roohi ke liye ek surprise hai. " Akshara said.

" Konsa surprise " Roohi said.

" Wo to aaj shaam main hi pata chalega " Nishtha said.

At evening :-

" Maasi Please bataiye na ki kya ho raha hai. " said Ruhi, who was blindfolded and everyone was standing outside the door and Ruhi had asked this thing 50 times in the last 15 minutes.

" Beta bas aapko thodi der main pata chal jayega ki kya ho raha hai bus or 5 minute. " Akshara said, And at that very moment Neil came quietly without making any sound and went behind Ruhi and opened her blindfold and said.

" Surprise " Neil Said and Ruhi happily hugged him hard,When she hugged Neil, she felt the same touch and feeling. When she was in the arms of that woman, it felt as if both of them were connected to each other   Because before today Ruhi had felt comfort in someone other than her father except that lady. And for  Neil these 2 to 3 days were no less than a year because his daughter his strength his happiness was not with him.

" Maine aapko bohot miss kiya " Roohi said while breaking the hug and Neil sits down and makes roohi sit on his lap.

" Maine bhi aapko bohot miss kiya " Neil said having big smile on his face.

" Waise papa yaha par sab meri guchliya  karenge par aap sunna mat. " Ruhi whispered and all chuckled.

" Okay " Neil said while showing his thumb to roohi.

" Agar tum dono ko aaj raat yahi baithna hai to hume koyi problem nahi hai. " Manjari said
Both of them got up and went inside, Neil freshened up and had dinner with everyone and at night he and Ruhi went to sleep after all Ruhi had to tell about so many days.

" Waise Rooh kuch baat hai kya aap aise upset kyu lag rahe ho? " Neil said having lot of concern in his voice.

" No...no kuch bhi nahi ab mujhe nind aa rahi hai. "
Roohi said  because she did not tell the truth to Neil, she felt as if Neil would be angry with her so she remained silent but still Neil sensed that something has happened.
