In the quiet confines of the Goenka home, Suhasini found herself sharing words of caution with Akshara, her concern woven into the threads of her advice.

Suhasini (serious): "Akshara, beta, Hamein wada karo ki tum apna acche se dhyan rakhogi. Anjaan logon se baate maat karna aur hamesha apne bhaiyon ke sath rehena."

Akshara, feeling a touch of annoyance, responded, asserting her independence.

Akshara: "Mimi, itni chinta mat kijiye. Ab ham bachche nahin hain. Ham apana khyaal rakh sakate hain."

Suhasini, though appreciative of Akshara's confidence, couldn't shake the instinctive worry that lingered in a grandmother's heart.

Suhasini: "Hamein pata hai ki tum ab bachche nahin ho, lekin tumhaare lie meree chinta kabhi na khatam hohe wali hai. Chinta karana hamara kartavy hai, aur ham apanee Kittu kee Kitty ki pravah kie bina nahin rah sakate."

As the words hung in the air, Kartik, overhearing the conversation, stepped in with a gentle reminder.

Kartik: "Dadi sahi keh rahi hai Akshu. Ham aisee duniya mein rahate hain jahaan savdhani jaroori hai. Ham chaahate hain ki aap safe rahen."

Akshara, acknowledging the concern from both sides, softened her stance.

Akshara: "Main samajhati hoon, Papa. Mimi, main apna khayal rahoonga, main vaada karata hoon. Itni chinta karane kee koi zaroorat nahi hai."

Suhasini, grateful for Akshara's assurance, embraced her granddaughter with a silent prayer for her safety.

Suhasini: "Tum hamaare liye anmol ho, Akshu beta. Bas apana khyaal rakhana."

As the family navigated the delicate balance between independence and protective love, the echoes of Suhasini's advice lingered, a reminder that even in the pursuit of freedom, the safety of their loved ones remained a shared responsibility.
