At Vihaan's House 🏘 :

Bhishma looks at her and finds her safe and sound but asks panicking noticing the crowd around her, "What happened?! You, okay?"

They all get confused seeing him there in the garden out of the blue and that too, he looked alarmed for her.

"Oh, you came? Good! I was waiting for you! Want some tea?" She asks him chirpily.

He blinks at her few times at her normal tone. Then asks confusedly, "You knew I was coming? And you look fine?"

"Yup! I'm absolutely fine! I told Ro to message you that it's an emergency. Took you quite long to come here, I see." She says exhaling. Vihaan manages his straight face but smirks inwardly at his Uncle. Manav shakes his head, he can tell Vihaan is enjoying this a lot noticing Vihaan's almost smiley lips.

The elder says frowning, "Do you think this is a joke?! I was hell worried! Almost got a heart attack coming here!"

"I have been asking you to meet me from past three weeks but you never came. Do you think that's a joke, Chauhan?" She asks gulping a biscuit down while they watch the duo with interest being happy for them that finally they are talking face to face.

Bhishma stays silent while looking at her.

"If I would not have asked him to do so, you wouldn't have come to show me your चाँद-सा मुखड़ा। Would you?" She asks standing up and folding her hands as Karuna, Anuradha, Vineet, Avneesh and Dhananjay come and stand on the backyard door. They came after work to spend some time together as always on Saturdays and Sundays. But hearing some shouting from the backyard, they came out immediately to check what's going on only to find the youngsters trying to hold back their laughter at her words and Bhishma standing there with his mouth shut. For ones, the elders felt bad for him but not Vineet. Instead he prays his daughter gives him an earful.

[ Translation : चाँद-सा मुखड़ा - Moon Face ]

Bhishma looks down and says lowly as he turns back, "If you are fine, then I'm leaving. I have work."

"Take one step ahead and you know my anger well, Bhishma." She says stopping him before he takes a step. They were not shocked to see him obey her but they were shocked to see that he was afraid to piss her off anymore which doubted them, may be Nishant has a point about her anger. She asks him nonchalantly, "Why you have been sulking these weeks?"

They smile the way she was asking him like an old friend. But Bhishma stands silently not uttering a word or moving an inch. Suddenly, she steps forward taking his hand and leaves in towards the terrace dragging him along with her saying, "Don't follow!"

"अभी तो ये हाल है, जब उन्हें सच मालूम होगा तो क्या होगा? क्या वो समझेंगे हमारी मजबूरी?" Karuna asks standing near the refrigerator with a sad face as she comes in.

[ Translation : "This is the situation now, what will happen when they will know the truth? Will they understand our helplessness?" ]

"समझेंगे, Karu। उन्हें समझना होगा कि ये सब उनके माँ-बाप के लिए भी आसान नहीं था। तुम परेशान मत हो। सब ठीक हो जाएगा।" Karuna nods as Sukanya pats her shoulder blade.
