The preparations for the reception were going in full swing.

They sat for breakfast,

Aditi served dadi and her mother.

"Aditi where is veer?"

"Dadi he received a call so he's having a talk  in the study, I'll call him you start with breakfast..!!"

She nodded and aditi left.

"Shikha ji are you comfortable here?" Dadi asked.

"Yes I am very comfortable, thanks to veer, I don't know how to thank you for this favour, I can't repay it if I want"

"Shikha ji, this is not a favour, we are family, as much as this is veer's house it's aditi's too, don't ever think that"

She smiled.

Aditi was going to enter the study when she remembered again a dreadful memory of her past.

Flashback:

Aditi entered her father's study to give coffee but without knocking.

"Aditi..!!"

He took her in his arms.

"I am sorry veer act...actually..."

"It's okay, calm down, nothing happened."

She calmed in his arms.

He felt her shivering, he picked her in his arms and took her to their room.

He sat on bed and made her sit on his lap.

He cupped her face,

"What happened, jaan, kya hua, something got triggered?"

She nodded.

"Want to tell me? And if not then just stop crying."

"On..once I entered his study room with cof..coffee, I saw him ki..kiss.. kissing a woman"

He clenched his fist controlling himself.

"You know mumma always loved him, whatever he did, mumma never stopped loving him, she always kept fasts for his safety and success, but he never cared about her, never cared about me, seeing him kissing a woman in front of me, I felt like I lost everything, being a daughter when I was unable to bear such sight, I thought how my mumma was bearing it, the tray fell down from my hands, he...."
