Sejal who don't want to lose she said.
"No I didn't you are lying I am not out, you are lying!"
"No I am not lying you are out don't cheat Sejal."
Both of the girls started arguing that's when Sejal pushed Sunaina which was witnessed by Shani who was standing just a little far.
Seeing her sister being pushed by her step sister her blood boiled she rushed ahead and pushed Sejal very hard.
"How dare you hurt my didi haan! how dare you! She is bleeding."
Sejal who got pushed very harshly got a scratch on her elbow so she started to cry which was heard by her mother who was passing by there.
She come rushing towards her daughter and made her stand up and then asked her.

Her daughter who was crying said.
"Maa Sh-ani pus-hed me b-because her sister said that I was c-cheating, I was not c-cheating Maa, she lied, she is a lier , see I got h-hurt because of that."
She said to her mother who got outraged after hearing what her daughter said, looking at Shani she then tries to slap her for pushing her daughter but before that Shani pushed her.
"You are such a brat little girl, don't you have manners how to behave with your elders."
She said and was about scold her again when Madhuri comes there and asked.
"What is happening here?"
Mugdha looked at her with a bitter smile and said.
"Ohh! Look who we have here the King's favourite wife."
Madhuri shunned her words and asked.
"Stop all this Mugdha and tell me what happened why were you scolding my daughter ? What she did ?"
Mugdha looked at her with a mocking smiled and said.
"See what you daughter has done to my daughter, she pushed her hard and now her hand is bleeding."
Madhuri looked at her and then at the 6 years old Sejal who was crying then she turned towards her daughters and asked.
"What had happened Sunaina tell me?"
She asked her daughter Sunaina but before she can answer her mother , Mugdha intervened and said.
"So you think that I am lying, can't you see the blood in my daughter elbow !"
Madhuri turn towards her looked at her and then voice out her words.
"I am not saying you are wrong Mugdha and I can see the blood in your's and mine daughter hands also, but before anything I will ask my daughters what had exactly happened ."
Saying she turned towards her daughter and again asked.
"Tell me what had happened here Sunaina?"
Sunaina looked at her mother and then narrate what had happened to which Mugdha become angry and said.
"See how your daughters are lying now."
Madhuri looked at her and said.
"What are you Mugdha a child, they are kids we are not if as kids they do any mistake we should make them understand rather than behaving like kids ourselves."
Madhuri said and then sit down and bring all the girls together in front of her and then smiled and said.
"Girls come here ." All of them come forward "you should not get physical like this over a game, it is just a game and in game sometimes we win sometimes we lose , and that's okay girls"
She told them both Sunaina and Sejal nodded their head.
"So now what had happened forget that and say sorry to each others and hug okay , come on come on."
She said to the girls, Sunaina and Sejal say sorry and hug each other.
Madhuri turn towards Shani who was standing there with an angry countenance, she looked at her who raised her eyebrows. Turning towards Sejal.
"Sorry."
She said sorry and was about to walk away when.
"Shani."
Her mother called she then turn towards Mugdha and said.
"Sorry choti Maa."
Saying she went away from there Madhuri looked at her four years old daughter and thought.
"Sometimes I see glimpses of your father in you when you got angry Shani, I just hope that the innocence you have will not got lost somewhere."
She thought that in her mind and pray from god closing her eyes.
"Hey Mahadev please save my children from all the evilness of the world."
She opened her eyes looked at the direction where Shani went she sigh and think to confront her later, holding Sunaina's hand she walk away as she is bleeding and need treatment.

"I hope its you who I am waiting for from years."
