AFTER 15 DAYS:

Shreya's father was discharged from the hospital. He can't walk and talk. Raghav has stayed here till now after asking for leave from college. At last,Raghav took a decision today.

RAGHAV: Mom, Dad,I don't want to go to Hyderabad.

S/M: What are you talking about,Raghav? Are you out of your mind? [shouts]

RAGHAV: Yes, Mom. I don't want to go because now my father can't work. I should stay here to help you and Shreya.

S/M: There is no need for that. What work will you do without completing your studies?

RAGHAV: Any tuition or working in any office.

S/M: Do you think it's that easy? Ok, let's think you did those works. After that, what will you do? Maybe for now you will be happy with that salary, but in the future you will regret not completing your studies.

RAGHAV: What should I do now to balance both my studies and the financial state of our family?

S/M: You just complete your studies. If you want to help, you can then teach students there and as you are in B.Tech, you can apply for internships. Put studies as the way to earn, not by stopping your studies.

RAGHAV: Ok, mom, but  will it be enough to run our family?

S/M: Yes, I will start a catering business.

RAGHAV: But,mom,where will you start?

S/M: In our home. We have sufficient space to start it.

RAGHAV: Ok,mom. It requires money, right?

S/M: I will keep the necklace for Gage. After If we make a profit, we can release it.

RAGHAV: Are you sure,mom?

S/M: Yes. You just go to Hyderabad and complete your studies.

Till now, S/F and Shreya listened to their conversation and weren't involved. Raghav saw his father as asking what he should do.

S/F: [blinked his eyes as yes]

SHREYA: I will also help by taking tuition for our neighboring kids. They have a good image of me, as I got good marks in 10th. Someone actually asked me to tutor their children. Now, I will grab this chance.

RAGHAV: Thank you once again for thinking about me and my future.

S/M: Wow, now I think he is not my son. He is thanking me.

Raghav just smiled.

S/M: So, you are going tomorrow to Hyderabad. As your fees are cleared,you concentrate on your studies. If you want anything, call me.

RAGHAV: I will stay for a few days.

S/M: No, you should go.

Raghav just nodded.

The next day, Raghav started his journey to Hyderabad with a heavy heart.

AFTER FOUR MONTHS:

Gradually, Shreya's family accepted that their lives had taken a massive turn. Last 3 months, they found it difficult to manage their household. Shreya's mother started a catering business; she supplies food for the elderly and people who can't cook due to their busy lives. Also bakes cakes, cookies, etc. She took small orders. The advertisement was done by Anand with the help of his father. Anand's father is the top businessman in the country. He is one of the biggest businessmen. Shreya also started tutoring the neighboring kids whose parents asked her to teach their kids. At starting, Shreya is teaching around 10 students from 1st grade to 10th grade. She is also spending the remaining time reading. Raghav also started tutoring the students from 8th grade to intergrade. He is giving coaching to students for competitive exams. Raghav took the help of their college friends. He started teaching their friend's siblings. Last month, they are facing difficulties. They do not eat sometimes due to money problems. They have to manage the hospital bills for S/F. They stood strong and accepted their fate.
