Swadheenta was going through her case study preparing for the second hearing that was given to her since she didn't produce much valid of arguments to confirm her theories , she was conscious of the arguments as it is still fresh incident even after a decade as the perpetrators are still not caught facilitating the religious divide further was the blasts and riots occurring since past year. She had to have few more meetings with the Sr.Sinha to solidify her theories to present valuable arguments.
She entered the kitchen when she saw mami gasping for breath and rushed to her aid.
Mami, mami,mami...! Swadheenta say her down on a chair and patted her cheeks to get her to speak . She got water to stabilise her and thus mami got relatively better.
"Kya hua mami, aap aise , doctor ke paas chalte haina" swadheenta worried on her mami.
"Kuch nahi bacche bas meri dawaai le aa ye wali hakeemji se , khatam ho gayi, tere mamu aur asad ko mat batana iss baare mei , vo bekaar mei chinta karenge" mami consoled a confused swadheenta
"Par mami, ye hai kis cheez ki dawaai, aur ek baar dikha dete hai doctor ko, mamu ko nahi bataane se kaise hoga mami" Swadheenta tried to convince
"Betaji ye bechaini keliye dawaai hai, jab se aapke mamu aur asad ko le gaye tab se mann me ek darr aur ghabrahat sa baith gaya aur aise hi ek din mujhe aise hi hua jaise ki aaj , achanak se sansei aana mushkil hogaya aur pura badan paseene mei, jab doctor se mulaqat kiya toh unhone ye dawaai di aur kaha ki mujhe agar phir kabhi aise dauhre aaye toh khaane aur mann ko shaant rakhne , isiliye ab mai allah ke mann mei lagi rehti hu betaji, pehle bahut aate the lekin ab dheere dheere kam toh ho raha hai, bas kabhi kabhi mann shant nahi ho pata aur ye dauhra aagya" mami explained reliving her scars.
Swadheenta was overwhelmed seeing her sweet aunt's health and realised what a scar it had left on her which she couldn't help. 'Lekin Mami aap agar mamu ya asad ko nahi batayenge toh aap isse bahar kaise niklenge , hum sab haina aapki madad karne'
Nahi!! Beta meri kasam aap apne mamu ya asad ko kuch nahi bolengi.' Mami panicked again
Seeing her aunt agitating again ' shaant hojayiye mami, mai mamu ya asad se kuch nahi kahungi , lekin aap please mujhse baat kiya karein aur ab se aapke saath chalungi doctor ke paas, aaj chale ?' Worried to know how she could help her aunt at such a face of trauma.
"Aaj nahi, aaj jummah hai, aapke mamu jaldi aa jayenge , peer ko chalenge, ye dawaai bhi le aayenge aur aap itminaan se hakeem ji se baat bhi kar lena" safe in her space that her niece wouldn't inform to her husband.
Theeke mami, lekin aisa phir kabhi ho toh aap mujhse baat zarur karengi, mai hu aapke saath" swadheenta staying firm to her aunt about her health.

At the terrace
Swadheenta was reading her materials to interview Manohar while Adarsh was sitting right behind her, he had stopped drinking cause he didn't think he needed it if when his girlfriend was around.
He hugged her tighter when she closed her books and laid it aside breathing in her scent at the crook of her neck.
Swadheenta laughed feeling ticklish and turned around "kya hua? Aaj zyada pyaar aa raha hai?"
"Bas humari first year anniversary aane wali hai , kya chahiye gift mei?"
Swadheenta's eyes widened at the timeline " Achaaaa? Tum kabse humara time count karna shuru kar diye?"
"Tabse, jabse madam ne apni dabbangiri dikhate hue chajje khud gayi apna pyaar confirm karne" adarsh tickled her more at the waist not letting her go .
Laughing hard trying not to be too loud asking him to release her she begged and then he stopped just holding her close
"Toh Sinha ji aap bataiye aapko kya chahiye since mujhe to mil gaya jo mai ek saal pehle 'confirm' karne aayi" swadheenta was smug with twinkle in her eyes.
