Aradhya went to her office and seated on her cabin. Priyanka noticed her being dull.

Priyanka: Baby what happened? Why are u looking gloomy?
Aradhya: Nothing. I'm fine.
Priyanka: Look into my eyes and say darling.
Aradhya said everything that happened since Reyansh's engagement. Priyanka was shocked would be an understatement.

Priyanka: What do u say? Aditya Sharma is your cousin?
Aradhya(glaring): Is this all you heard from me?
Priyanka: No no. How dare he utter nonsense about u? I'll kill him. Let me meet him.
Aradhya: You don't act good. Damn, he is your crush right?
Priyanka: Yes, but who gave him the rights to talk rubbish to you?
Aradhya: I know he didn't mean it. Moreover he did a lot for our family. I should be grateful to him for that. I'm hurt that's all.
Go and work. If manager sees us like this, he doesn't think twice to throw us out.
Priyanka(bowing her head): Looks like u already forgave him.
Aradhya glared at her.
Priyanka: okay queen I do as u say.

In the evening, Aradhya booked a cab and reached home. She got freshen up and went downstairs. Kalpana gave her coffee, she had it. She shared the day happenings to Kalpana and Saraswati. She went back to the room, turned off the lights slept in dark.
Saraswati went to her parents and spend time with them.

Aditya couldn't concentrate in his work but he tried his best to divert and worked with difficulty. As soon as he finished the works, he came back to home.
He entered the kitchen in a hurry.

Aditya: Maa..Maaaa...
Kalpana: Why are u screaming Adi?
Aditya: Ma...where is Aradhya? Did she reach home? She didn't take driver with her. How did she go?
Kalpana: She went in a cab.
Aditya: Cab? Why?
Kalpana: Ask her. No no don't ask or disturb her. She might be angry with u.
Aditya: Ma U know I didn't do it intentionally.
Kalpana: Come and sit first. We'll discuss this.
They sat there. Kalpana came with two cups of coffee for him and herself.

Kalpana(sipping her coffee): U didn't do wantedly. But U can't change whatever happened in the morning.
Aditya: What are u trying to say?
Kalpana: U better forget Aradhya. Stop loving her. U can love her as a cousin but not as your partner.
Aditya: What? No way ma.
Kalpana: She is so soft. Your behaviour only hurts her. Do you think she will bear you?
Aditya: I'll be not same anymore. I'll change myself for her ma. Reyansh too suggested this. U will see new Aditya.
Kalpana: Aditya...?
Aditya: I'm saying the truth ma. I'll never be like this. Trust me, give me a chance. I'll protect her for the rest of my life.
Kalpana: If that happens who'll be more happy other than me?
Aditya: Okay ma. I'm going....

Aditya went to his room, changed his suit. He wore his tshirt & tracks.
He went to Aradhya's room and saw the door was unlocked. Aradhya kept it open as she knows Saraswati may come anytime. He opened it and saw the lights were off. He turned on the ceiling light and saw Aradhya covered her fully with duvet. He heard a sound from her. He went near her and got to know from out that she was trembling. He got scared for a second and opened the duvet saw Aradhya was shivering badly. He immediately turned off the AC and lightly patted her cheeks calling Aradhya.

Aditya: Aradhya...Aradhya wake up. Please wake up.

She was no where opening her eyes. Without delaying he carried her in his arms and rushed down. He was feeling so heavy, seeing Aradhya in this state. Saraswati saw him rushing down.

Saraswati(panic): Aditya...what happened?
Aditya: Aththe she is shivering badly. Let me take her to the hospital.
Come with me.
Kalpana saw them and joined with them.

Aditya drove the car fastly, looking at her each passing second. He was sweating badly.
Saraswati: Nothing will happen to her . It's just a fever Aditya. Don't panic.
Aditya nodded his head but he was scared to the hell. He thought he was the cause for all of this. They reached the hospital. Without delaying, again he carried her. He rushed directly calling...
Aditya: Doctor...Doctor...
Doctor came hearing him... Nurse immediately came with a stretcher seeing his panic state. He informed the doctor about her fever. There were not much people and he asked to treat her in VIP ward. So that no one can recognise him & family.

Doctor: Mr. Sharma don't worry... Just a injection she will be cured. Why are you panicking? Go and rest there. We'll take care of it.
Aditya: Thank you... Thank you doctor.
Saraswati & Kalpana were shocked to see him. He was worrying like a husband who send his wife to delivery ward. The two women made him sit in the chair.

Aditya: I'm the cause for all this. She is in this situation because of me.
Saraswati: Yes Aditya, because of you she is here. You only saw her and admitted her here at the right time. You are the saviour.
Aditya looked at her confused.

Saraswati: Don't think anything negative. U will do only good for us. Especially for Aradhya, I trust u the most. The morning happenings was just a accident. Forget that. Aradhya will understand you.
Aditya: But I shouldn't have...
Saraswati: Don't say anything. There is a good in every bad. Now just sit quiet or go to home and rest. We will take care.
Aditya: No I can't go. I want to be here only.
Saraswati: Then stay quiet. Don't overthink.

Aditya obliged her words like a good baby. Kalpana looked at Saraswati smiling amazed at her maturity.
Saraswati smiled assuring.

After a hour, the nurse came...
Nurse: Sir, the patient has opened her eyes. U can meet her now. Meet doctor before u take her to home.
Aditya nodded and they went inside.

Kalpana: How are you ma?
Aradhya: I'm okay Aththe.
Saraswati: Aditya saw you in a quiver state and took u here.
Aradhya(smiling): Thanks Aditya.
Her smile gave him much needed strength.
He went near her, he couldn't stop himself. He caressed her hair gently smiling. His care was clearly shown in his eyes. She felt it most comfortable. Their eyes locked and lost in each other. Kalpana & Saraswati looked at each other all smiling. Aradhya came back from the trance and gave him a smile.

Aditya stopped caressing her head and took a step back. He took a chair and seated there.
Aditya: I'm sorry Aradhya. I'm really sorry for whatever happened this morning. I was in a hurry and I couldn't think straight. I didn't meant anything. I know I hurted you in a bad way. But I sincerely apologise to you. I'll never repeat this mistake. I'll never hurt you in my lifetime. It's like hurting myself. It's killing me inside. If u want u can give me punishment. I'll happily accept it.

Aradhya was shocked to hear his confession. She didn't know it affected him too. She knows he meant each and every word.
Aradhya: It's okay Aditya. You don't have to explain. Leave it. Don't talk punishment and all.
Aditya: So Am I forgiven?
Aradhya: why are u talking about forgiveness? It was not a mistake, it's accident. Leave it Aditya.
Aditya was on cloudy nine took her palm between his hands. He smiled wholeheartedly. Aradhya was shocked. Saraswati and Kalpana were also shocked at the stunt he pulled.
