Khushi from the time she got to know that Shalini is having low BP. She makes sure that Shalini takes her tablet every morning after breakfast. She herself will give it to Shalini. But, Shalini finds Khushi being bored at home. Although she is involved with house chores. She didn't like Khushi to be bored. Shalini goes to Arshi's room.

Shalini - Khushi..

Khushi who is watering the plants at pool side, hears her name and comes into the room.

Khushi - Ji ma.

Shalini - What are you doing?

Khushi - Nothing ma, watering plants.

Shalini - Come let's do gardening together.

Both of them go to the pool side, Khushi is filling a pot with mud for a new plant and Shalini is watering the other plants.

Shalini - Khushi are you bored staying at home?

Khushi - Ji ma. I've got job immediately after my graduation. And I'm not used to stay at home idle.

Shalini - Would you like to work?

Khushi - Yes ma. But...

Shalini goes near her - What happened beta?

Khushi - I will have to search for a new one.

Shalini - Why? you are already working at AR no?

Khushi - Ma, the thing is that. What will others think if I..

Shalini - Khushi, it's your life. Live it as you want. Don't think about others and their opinions. You have to think about the one's who respect your intentions.

Khushi smiles looking at her and nods her head. Meanwhile, Manorama calls Shalini from downstairs. Patting Khushi's head, she goes down.
