    A week later...

    It was Saturday and Aryan , Aisha both were at home . Shalini has called their family jeweller at home to buy some jeweller as karva chauth ( a festival for married couples) was approaching.

    Shlok was reading newspaper in the living room when Mr Kotari came with his brand new collection.

    " How are you Babu ji..!?" He asked politely.

    " I am fine , you say how are you..!?" Shlok asked keeping his new paper aside.

    " Everything is going fine by god's grace , my son also started working and earning as he is married now. All my worries are gone." He said with a smile and Shlok nodded.

    In the mean time Jhanvi and Shalini also came.

    " Bahu Rani I brought latest collect for you." Kotari said to Shalini who smiled and looked at Jhanvi.

    " Di come let's choose jeweller for karva chauth."

    " You choose I will go and call Aisha..."

    " But-" before Shalini could say anything Jhanvi had already left.

    Aryan and Aisha were descending the stairs and met Jhanvi on the stairs.

    " I was coming to call you only ,come with me..." Jhanvi said and held Aisha's arm pulling her towards the living room while Aryan followed them completely confused.

     " Kotari ji this my daughter-in-law, please show something suitable for her... It's her first karva chauth." Jhanvi said and sat on the couch with Aisha , Aryan also settled beside Shlok with a smile.

     He was genuinely happy that his mother was showing so much affection towards his wife...

    " Ji Bahu Rani.." ( Yes madam)

     Jhanvi happily bought two sets for Aisha even though the girl tried to protest but when dadu says she has to take them then she had to.

     Jhanvi bought one light set for herself as well and payed for the other two she bought for Aisha as well. While Shalini bought two heavy necklace for herself and payed for them.

    Soon it was evening , Aisha was talking to Aditi in her bedroom's balcony.

    Aryan was doing something on his laptop when he heard some noises from downstairs as the door was open. He went out and closed the door , as he started going downstairs the noises kept increasing...

     Then he heard Shlok's angry voice and almost ran to his room to find Jhanvi trying to calm him while Advait was gritting his teeths.

     " Dadu..." Aryan entered inside and held Shlok's arm rubbing it and asking him to calm down.

     " Advait can't you see papa ji-" Jhanvi also started speaking in her angry voice but was cut short by Advait.

    " Don't speak to me in that tone Jhanvi... It's all your fault..!" He shouted and Aryan felt his insides burning.

    " Papa...! Don't shout at maa." Aryan said angrily.

    Jhanvi hurriedly held his arms and shook her head.

    " Stay out of this Aryan and go to your room now." Jhanvi said as her back broke into cold sweat .

    She felt something very wrong was about to happen.

    " No maa i won't leave , he is your husband but that doesn't mean he will talk to you like that..." Aryan said firmly which literally burned Advait's inside.
