Sorry, guys, for the delayed update. Currently, I'm at my (Nani gaon), and I managed to provide this update with some difficulty😅

At around midnight, Ayansh and Radhi reached home.

By this time, everyone in the house was retiring to their rooms.

Ayansh, first, went inside to park his bike in the garage, while Radhi, although desiring to accompany him, was responding with exhaustion evident in her entire body.

Vrinda had been quite delighted for the past two weeks since she discovered that something was amiss between Radhi and Aayansh. Her loyal confidante Meera informed her that Radhi had spilled the beans about something happening every night when Aayansh arrived.

Her faithful servant Meera had informed her that Radhi came every night during those two weeks at midnight.Vrinda felt she had an opportunity to confront Radhi, thinking she had come home late again.

"Hey girl, wherever you are, just stop right there," Vrinda commanded Radhi to sit on the sofa. She had eagerly awaited this moment, having waited for who knows how many days for this instant.

Radhi turns towards Vrinda and says,
"Sasu Maa pehli baat toh ye ki , mera naam 'Aey, ladki' nahi hai. Mere maa-baap ne mujhe ek sundar naam diya hai, Radhi. Agli baar mujhe Radhi kahen, warna main is baar ke liye ruk gayi hoon, lekin agli baar main rukne waali nahi hoon. Fir Mujhe 'Aey, ladki' pukarte rahiyega."

(First things first, my name isn't 'Hey, girl.' My parents gave me a lovely name, Radhi. Call me Radhi next time, or else I've paused for this time, but next time, I won't pause. Keep calling me 'Hey, girl')

Vrinda knew that Radhi was among those who would turn around to respond, so she didn't have high expectations. Nevertheless, she somehow felt that Radhi might not give her an answer, just as she hadn't the last time.

"Alright, alright," Vrinda conceded.

"Acha apko kuch kehna tha kya? ", Radhi inquired.

(Did you want to say something?)

Vrinda, raising her voice, retorted, "You can't keep arriving home late like this every day!"

"Sasu Maa aap dhire bhi kehti toh bhi mai sun hi leti ," Radhi said.

(Come on, Sasu Maa, if you express it a bit more calmly, I might actually pay attention)

Radhi continued , "waise bhi Sasu Maa aaj mai bahut thaki hui hu aur mujhe bahut nind bhi aa rahi hai.Toh kya ye waali discussion hum kal breakfast ke baad kare "

(Sasu Maa, I'm truly exhausted today. Let's continue this discussion after breakfast tomorrow)

Radhi's words really got on Vrinda's nerves. No one has ever argued with her like this before. It's not just that Radhi is debating with her, but she's also suggesting ignoring Vrinda's opinions in the future.

Vrinda, raising her voice, asserted, "Ye Sab tumhare ghar mein chalta hoga, lekin yeh mera ghar hai, aur yahan rehne wale sab log kuch niyamon ka palan karte hain".

(This might be the way things work in your home, but this is my home, and everyone here follows certain rules )

Vrinda continued, "Humare ghar ki bahu itni der tak ghar ke bahar nahi rehti, aur na hi job karti hai. Fir bhi humne tumhe job karne ki permission di hai, par iska matlab ye nahi ki tum ghar ke saare niyam todogi."

(Our daughters-in-law here don't stay out late at night, and they certainly don't work outside. Yet, we've given you enough freedom to go out and work. But that doesn't mean you can violate all the rules of our home)
