It's been a week since Vidya talked with her daughter-in-law Ruhi. And since then she couldn't take her mind out of what she said. Many absurd thoughts began to circle her mind for no reason. No matter how much she tried to get rid of those but she couldn't. It only increased her insecurities ten folds.

Ruhi noticed this state of restlessness of Vidya but she stayed silent.

Vidya tried to stay calm even after the storm brewing within her, but only this morning she lost it,

"Maa.. maa jaldi kijiye n please. Aaj mujhe highcourt nikalna hai. Usse pahele bacho ko drop krna hai, fir Armaan ko bhi firm pohochana hai..."

Abhira began to bramble while polishing her shoes sitting on the couch. While Armaan was still upside in his room. He was yet to come. It was as usual early morning rush in the Poddar House.

Vidya came out of the kitchen when she heard Abhira complaining.

"Bhagwan ne mujhe do hath hi diye hai bas, us hisab se kr to rahi hu. Ye kya laga rakha hai jaldi krdo, jaldi krdo. Khud to kuch krna nahi hai. Ek to inki seva karo upar se inki batein suno..."

Vidya retorted and judging by her voice she was clearly agitated. Armaan was just on the stairs when he heard his mom. He looked at Abhira who was also shocked hearing her mother's unnerved response. Even Madhav and Dadisa was shocked. Because no matter how tough the situation is, Vidya never loses her cool.

Abhira was taken aback. She looked at Armaan who just shrugged it off.
Abhira decided to let it go, but she definitely got the hint that something was surely wrong with her mother in law. She made a mental note to talk about it later.

After they all left. Abhira Armaan dropped chorus gang to there respective workplace and college. And then went to the firm. Abhira then went to highcourt. It was her trial today. She then finished her work and came back to the firm. The day was well spent without any dramatic situation.

As usual Armaan was waiting for his wife. Abhira came and they both went to receive their adopted adults. Abhira first recieved Kiara, then that went to take Krish from his academy then went for Charu. They waited for her to come out, but it's been 15 minutes she still was nowhere to be seen. Abhira and Armaan got anxious. Armaan said,

"Abhira tum bacho ke sath yahi ruko. Mai dekh ke ata hu."

Abhira nodded.

After sometime Armaan returned. His face said everything Abhira wanted to know.

"Wo keh rahe hai charu to kab ki nikal gayi." Armaan said while fastening his seat belt.

"Kya kaha? Charu chali gayi? That absurd. Charu hamare bagair kahi nahi ja sakti." Abhira retorted.

"We need to find her. Uska message vagera kuch nahi aya hai." Armaan said checking his phone. Abhira and others also did the same.

"Pr Charu aise Bina bataye kahi nahi ja sakti." Krish said.

"Abhira pahele Aryan ko pick up krte hai, fir charu ko dhundne chalenge. Tum Aryan ke college ki aur chalo. Mai charu ka phone try krta hu tab tak." Armaan demanded. Everyone were quick to there actions. In the meantime Abhira turned the car and went to pick up Aryan. When Aryan was successfully received. Krish and Kiara began to explain him the situation.

Armaan was still trying his phone. But Charu didn't answered any of his call. They once again stood outside her workplace. All were clearly worried.

"Bhayya bhabhi. I think hame gharwalo ko bata dena chahiye." Kiara suggestsed.
