Shivanya walked away in huff towards the park near Anika's house

"Shivanya!" Gauri followed calling out her name

Shivanya ignored her and sat on the bench

'Mama, Ghar aney keyliyeh manihi nai'

"Shivanya" Gauri said sitting beside her

"Didi, please mujey thodey der akeyley chod dijiyeh mai kuch na kuch plan nikal lungi" Shivanya said holding her head

Gauri looked at her before getting up to leave

'i need to come up with a plan...A plan which shows both Mama and Chachus ki papa khush nahi hai...woh toh already jantey hai na...toh kya karu..' She held her head trying to calm her throbbing nerves

'kuch khaney ko chaiye' Her mind wandered towards food

Just then a pink cotton candy stick came infront of her eyes

"What the-"

"What the nai, budi key baal hai" Gauri said

"Budi key baal? You mean cotton candy" Shivanya said taking it

"Ha woh bhi" Gauri said sitting beside her

"Pata hai ki tum thoda waqt akeyley rehna chathi ho paar mujey akeyley rehna pasand nahi hai" Gauri added

Shivanya smiled at her

"Aapko aakeyley rehna pasand nahi hai?"

"Nai..nafrat hai aakeyley rehney sey" Gauri replied

"Phir kabi kabi sochthi hu ki mai akeley kaha hu itni badi duniya hai itney sarey loog hai" she added showing around

The park was filled with families and children

The weather was sunny but cool making it peacefully

This brought a sense of security and comfort to Shivanya

"Kitna azeeb haina duniyaa? Kitney sarey loog hai vunki kitney stories hai" Gauri said

"Topic sey divert karney ki jarurat nahi hai" Shivanya said understanding what she is doing

Both Shivanya and Gauri continued to eat in silence

"...hamney sirf ek baar koshish Kiya hai...iss baar fail huya hai toh kya phir sey try karengey...tum himat mat harna" Gauri said

"Mainey kaab haar mana?" Shivanya asked confused

"Woh toh..tum theek ho?" She asked

"Ha...theek hu"

"Hamey aab kya karna chaiye?" Gauri said

"Hamey....kuch aisa karna chaiyeh jissey Anika didi Oberoi Mansion wapas ajai aur Om Cha-i mean Bhaiya aur Rudra bhaiya bhi hamarey side ajai"

"Magar kaisey?"

"Aisey karney key liyeh ek sense of emergency create karni hogi" She said eating cotton candy

"Sense of emergency toh tabi create hogi jaab kisi ki tabyat kharab hai ya kisi ki shaadi ho rahi hai" Gauri said

Gauri can literally see bulbs lightning up in Shivanya's eyes

"Thank you didi" she said

"Plan milgaya?"

"Milgaya" Shivanya said wiping her head towards right

"Khanna.." She called

"Plan kya hai aur tum Khanna ko kyu yaad karahi ho?" Gauri asked

"Plan pataduni buss yeh socha ni plan shuru hoai hai KHANNA" She called out again
