Nidaya rushed down the stairs to find Shrutika sitting at the livingroom. She slowed down seeing her alone and asked while coming there,"aap...akeli aayi hain?"

"Hmm...Kiyu? Kisi aur ko expect kar rahi thi tum?"Shrutika asked and she nodded a no and then touched her feet.

Shrutika blessed her while getting shocked, and then said looking at Naveen,"dekhiye mere paas zyaada wakt nahi hain. Nidaya ka packing wagera kuch hain toh kar le aur taiyaar ho jaaye jaldi se. Ghar lautna hain."

"Aap...aap mujhe ghar le jaaney aayi hain Mom?"Nidaya asked and she replied,"nahi aati, bilkul bhi nahi aati. Aayi kiyuki Preetika ne kaha. Hriday ne kaha. Aur mere Satvik ko bhi laga ki tumhey ek chance milna chahiye. Bass. Isiliye aayi hoon. Chalo."

"Unhoney kaha?"Nidaya asked and then realised something and asked,"Preet Mom ne bhi kaha?"

"Haan. Voh aayi bhi hain mere saath but she preferred staying outside as you won't like her presence. Presence toh mujhe tumhari acchi nahi lag rahi hain, but kya karey? Bete ka aur ghar parivaar ka sawaal hain."

"Dekhiye aap aisey..."Mandira started saying when Nidaya said,"nahi Mum. Let her say. I deserve to hear these. Galti meri hi thi. Mom, main abhi aayi."

She ran upstairs hurriedly to get ready while Naveen said to Shrutika,"bacchi bohot dukhi thi. Aap lene aayi, humein accha laga."

"Hmm,"Shrutika said and then added,"but make sure ki aisa dobara na karey yeh. I hope aaplogon ne acche se samjha diya hain usey. Because if she repeats this kind of acts again then nobody can stop her and Satvik's at any cost."

"She has understood her mistake. She won't do anything again,"Mandira said.

"Good for her and us,"Shrutika added.

Nidaya put on her ethnic indo-western dress and then quickly got ready. She didn't take any risk to take more time as she felt Shrutika would leave her and go. Taking a few belongings and her phone in her bag, she came down, taking the lift this time.

"Mom, main taiyaar hoon. Chaliye,"she said and Shrutika stood up.

"Toh hum chaltey hain. Aatey rahiyega humare waha,"Shrutika said while standing up.

"Jee! Aap bhi aatey rahiyega,"Mandira said before hugging Nidaya and saying,"acche se rehena beta."

Nidaya then hugged Naveen and quickly followed up Shrutika who had already started leaving from there.

Preetika was sitting inside the car, making some important official calls when she saw them coming out of the complex. She came out of the car while saying,"arey Di, tum agey agey chalke arahi ho aur bahu ko peeche chhor diya?"

"Isey lene ka kaam tha. Le aayi. Now let's go,"Shrutika said while sitting inside the car and Preetika looked at Nidaya who came and stood in front of her.

"Aao chalo,"she said and turned but Nidaya held her hand and called,"Preet Mom."

Preetika turned towards her and asked,"yes?"

"I am sorry. I behaved extremely rudely with you. I am so sorry,"she said and Preetika chuckled and said,"it's alright. You're a kid. You're yet to learn so many things from life, Nidaya. I didn't mind. Let's go home."

Nidaya looked down and Preetika held her arms and said,"look at me. I am glad that you have realised your mistake. Even if your didn't, it's fine. All I want from you is...keep our Satvik happy and stay happily with the family. You don't have to like me or follow my orders. Just listen to Di and whatever she says. Hmm?"
