*IN THE MORNING*

Next morning, Ishaan wakes up and rubs his eyes, he slowly looks towards Vanya and he realized that Vanya is not on the bed with him

Ishaan thinking to himself: where is Vanya? Has she gone? Did she really left already?

Ishaan checks the time on his mobile. He is little bit surprised

Ishaan to himself: wow. it's 11:30... did I sleep for so long? and Vanya isn't here...has she really gone back? I thought she would at least say something to me before leaving

ishaan freshens up. As he comes out of the room, he looks at the breakfast table, he sees his mom and dad having breakfast. He also sees an empty place where Vanya was supposed to be

Ishaan looks at both his parents

ishaan: Maa...papa is Vanya already gone?

his mom taunts him

His mom: Oh wow, Maharaj ji has woken up, bring breakfast for him... Maharaj, your lovely guest left before you got up.

Ishaan gets a little bit embarrassed, he sits on the table

ishaan: Maa....don't make fun like that. Why didn't you wake me up? I would have at least said goodbye to Vanya.

Ishaan gets a little bit annoyed. He knows his father's words are correct but he doesn't want them to say bad things about Vanya

ishaan: Papa....you are over analyzing. She is not from media. And also, I was just helping a friend, that's all. And anyway, I met her at 'Priya's' wedding.

his mom: I remembered that your badi mummy had called me, saying that Ishaan had gone away from the wedding without telling anyone.

Ishaan gets embarrassed. He knew he had caused his cousin's family a lot of trouble for which he was feeling bad. But at the same time he is feeling sad that Vanya just left without saying a word to him

ishaan: I know...I'm sorry. It's my mistake that I just left without telling anyone. I will apologise to bade papa and badi maa as well.

his father gets off the chair and starts moving towards his car , leaving for office

Ishaan's father says while he gets up from the chair

his father: Well then...I'll get going. I have to be in the office for a meeting.

Ishaan's father looks at Ishaan

his father: also...go visit your bade papa and badi maa later. Apologies to them

Ishaan looks at his dad and nods

ishaan: okay papa, I'll go in sometime after lunch to meet them.

Ishaan says with a slight hint of disappointment in his voice

as his father leaves, his mom slowly leans closer to his face and says while whispering

his mom: Look son, don't lie, you liked that girl, right??

Ishaan hesitates for a moment but he knows he can't lie to his own mother

ishaan: I.....i did like her. I really liked her.

his moms leans towards her chair and sighs

his mom: i already knew, so I thought I should help you!!

ishaan is surprised to know that his own mom has seen through his feelings for Vanya. He feels a little bit frustrated but at the same time he wants to get some help from her
