With time, everyone finished their breakfast and Nishka left with Kartik.
**Rathi Mansion**
Everyone got ready with their belongings and were about to depart for Nathdwara. Nishka came and asked for 10 minutes to pack her bags.
"Pack my bag also. Take some clothes, laptop, charger and power bank." Kartik ordered Nishka. Again, in front of everyone.
"Sure, I'll do it." Nishka replied politely as Kartik smirked.
She went to the room and started packing when Yamini entered there.
"Is the packing done?" She asked.
"Yes mom, almost done. Just a few things are left." She replied.
"Ok then, let me help you."
"No no mom, it is okay, I will do this. See... It is done now. Let me just close the doors and windows. We can go now."
"Nishka, .... "
"Ohh sorry mom, I forgot, you came here to talk to me, did not you? Tell me please."
"Nishka, since we are going to a spiritual place, so with pure mind, just pray for your and Kartik's relationship. It will be healed soon."
"Mom, it has just started, it does not need to be healed, it needs to grow. We just need some time and lots of love and blessings and that is all."
"You know what, Kartik is very lucky to have you. In fact, we all are lucky to have you as part of our family now. He does not understand you now, but you also know that he is very good at heart. He is not very expressive but he really cares for you."
" I wish he does, I really wish mom." She thought and then said, "Thanks mom. Let us go now. Everybody must be waiting for us."
"Yes, let us go."
"Hey, Hii Nishka! How are you?" Tanisha asked while hugging Nishka.
"I am doing good." She reciprocated.
"Come on Bhabhi, let me accompany you. I will sit with you for the whole journey. What say, Kartik bhai?" Vansh winked and gave a high five to Garvit.
"You take her and I will take rest." Kartik mumbled to himself.
"See, Kartik is abusing you. How can you steal their quality time?" Garvit giggled with Tanisha and Vansh.
"It is okay. You can sit with me. I am sure Kartik would not have any problem. Right Kartik?"
"Of course not. I really do not have any problem. You sit with her, I will sit with Dadi."
Everyone settled down. All were sitting with their respective spouses except Kartik and Nishka. They were sitting with Narmada and Vansh respectively.
The journey began.
