"bolo" Shivanya replied organizing her books

"bolo vansh" she added 

"woh...woh chotey papa aur chachu" 

"kya huva hai vuney?" 

"woh...dusre country ja rahai hai.." Shivansh completed his sentence 

"ha toh?" she asked as if she don't care

"tumey pehley sey pata hai?" he asked in shock 

"nai..ha paar andaza tha aur maybe mainey vunki batey suni hai" she said 

"mai....chata hu ki tum....vuney rok lo" he said 

"kyu?....jaab paar dadi key kheney paar woh nahi rukey toh merey kheney paar kyu rukengey?" she asked making him silent 

"aur woh aapni aapni families ko protect karney ki koshis kar rahey hai" She added 

"tuh hum vuney janey dey?" he asked leaning onto the sof

"ha" she replied 

"chotey papa, aur chachu chalyeh jayengey" 

"ha" she said adding another book to her pile of old books making a *thup* sound with each book

"toh Mahima, Reyansh, Ruvya aur Rudraksh bhi" 

"ha..obvi" she said adding another book *thup*

"aur...Gauri mausi bhi" he said 

"..." that hit the spot as Shivanya stopped work, even Shivansh knew how close her Mausi and Sister are 

"ha" Shivanya said turning towards Shivansh with a smile 

"....right " Shivansh said 

"aur kuch?" she asked maintaining her smile 

"nai" he replied before leaving 

Shivanya's high held shoulders sulk as she get lost in thoughts

......

It was finally the time for OmRu to leave 

the entire family was gathered in the living room 

"aur ek baar soch lo beta" Dadi said as tears filled her eyes 

"sub kuch soch liya hai dadi" Om replied with his lowered head 

"dadi aap boliyeh na mujey nahi jana london mujey Vanya key sath rehna hai" said Mahima hugging Shivanya

"ha dadi" added Ruvya and Reyansh 

"Om" Jhanvi called

"ma please" 

"Jhanvi, don't make it too difficult for them now" Tej said 

"bacho chup chap gadi mai bhaitho" Rudra ordered 

The children looked at each other before giving  Shivanya and Vansh one last tight hug before leaving 

"bye beta, khayal rakhna aapna" Om said and left 

"Take care...aapni bhi aur sabki bhi" Rudra said and followed Om 

"take care" said Bhavya avoiding her

when Gauri came, she kneeled to match Shivanya's height
