Anupamaa had dressed for college and went straight into Dolly's room and locked it from inside. "Bhaabhi...", she welcomed Anupamaa in.
"Doly Ben...", she couldn't speak further and hugged Dolly tight. "Kya hua aapko?"
"Mujhe... Bahut... Vo... Bahut darr lag raha hai... College jaane me...", she revealed.
"Nahi nahi please... Aise mat dariye... Baithiye idhar aap...", she made her sit on the edge of the bed and sat alongside. "Aap jaanti hain na... Bhaii kitne strict hain... Aur aap ye kya kar rahi hain...!! Please sambhaaliye na apne aap ko...", she clicked her tongue.
"Mujhe bilkul accha nahi lag ra unse baat chhupaate hue..."
"Ohh please... Jaa kar bata mat dijiyega unhe !! Kyun apne pairo pe kulhaadi maarna chaahti hain!! Padhaai poori karni hai na?", Dolly asked in a serious tone.
"Ha..an..."
"To bas phir!! Koi jaroorat ni hai unhe bataane ki... Aap apne college pe focus kariye na!! Aur ye aise itna upset ho kar dari dari rahengi to bhaii ko pata chal jaayega...", she hugged Anupamaa tight and wanted to comfort her quick before someone gets to know about it. "Samjh rahi hain na?"
"Haan..."
"Uthiye ab fataafat... Jaaiye college aur na ye rona band kijiye", she wiped her tears. "Parso bhi nhi gayi thi aap, aaj bhi aise ghoomengi to gadbad ho jaayegi... Dariye mat... Ab to aapki friend bhi vaaps aa gayi hai na...??"
"Haan..."
"To relax...", she opened the door and there was Baa standing there.
"Kya khusur phusur chal rahi thi ander?", Leela asked.
"Vo Baa m-", Anupamaa tried replying but her words were cut short by Dolly's.
"Bhaabhi mujhse thodi padhaai ki baat karne aayi thi... So vahi discuss kar re the hum bas...", Dolly prevaricated.
"Accha... Aur tu... Jaa Vanraj taiyaar ho gya hai tujhe kab se awaaz laga ra... Sunaai nahi deta?"
"Vo... Main jaati..."
"Ek minute!! Khaana banaa diya?"
"Ji... Baa..."
"Aur bartan kal ke? Kiye?"
"Haan... Kar diye..."
"Au-"
"Mummy!! Bas kariye aap aur hatiye raaste se jaane dijiye late ho raha hai hume. Jab dekho unse kaam hi karvaati rehti hain!! Sudhar jaaiye!! Chaliye bhaabhi.", she held Anupamaa's hands saving her from Leela's taunts and ushered her to kitchen. "Apni shakal sudhaariye thodi si...", she took out a cream from her bag and rubbed it gently on her face. "Great and smile kariye and please... Roiyega mat.."
"Hmmm.... Hmmm..... Thenk you.", she hugged her again.
"Take care haan... Aur koi bhi jaroorat ho na to mujhe call kar dijiyega..."
"Ji... Theek hai..."

Vanraj dropped Anupamaa at the college gate and Devika was there. She hugged Anupamaa.
"Kaisi hai tu...".
"Main... Acchi hoon..."
"Great...!! Hiii...", she looked at Vanraj.
"Hello... Sab theek hai na?"
"Yes... All is good..."
"Anupamaa ka dhyaan rakhna thoda...", he tried reading those coded looks in their eyes.
