*****************

" Mom, did Mamu treat you like this after Bua came into his life, did he ever ignore you?" Aaira asks Avni

" Baby, I won't lie to make you feel good because that would be wrong.....bhai never ignored me for bhabhi." Avni answer her and the truth is, at this point, she can't lie about the selfless love her brother has given her just to make Aaira feel better.
Sometimes, no matter how much the truth hurts us, it is right to speak it.

At this time Aaira is sitting in her room with her mother.
Neil, who is out of town for some work today, is unable to pick up Aaira from college, so today the driver brings Aaira back home from college.

But coming home, Aaira cannot hide the sadness she has got from her brothers from her mother even if she wants to....and when Avni noticed her weeping eyes and asked her what happened to her ? Then she shared everything with her mother, what Aarav said to her and what Ansh did to her.
Aaira told everything to her mother that now the behavior of both of them has changed for her.

Whereas after listening to all the things said by Aaira, Avni understands that whatever they both did was not wrong somewhere.
Yes, Aaira feels bad about the things they did but both of them are not wrong in their place.

Obviously these three are no longer children, all three have grown up, and Ansh is about to get married, so obviously his wife will be more important to him now, so in that situation, whatever Ansh did is not wrong.

" And sometimes bhai has placed me above Bhabhi and that too probably happened because Bhabhi was good. Bhabhi never felt bad that why bhai gives me more time than her and this is also because Bhabhi never considered me as her sister-in-law, she always considered me as her little sister." Aaira smiles slightly after hearing this answer from her mother.
Why did both ( Advaita & Aadhriti) of them not treat her like that, just because she was not the real sister of their respective men.

" Hmm, and it was all possible because Mamu is your own brother, and in the same way I have never seen Papa ignoring Bua because of you because obviously Bua is also Papa's own sister. But I am the cousin of both of them." Aaira says

" Mom, I wish the guy who often comes in my dreams nowadays and claims to be my brother was with me in real life....Kaash mera bhi sch me koi apna bhai hota..." Aaira says and Avni's heart becomes heavy hearing her daughter's painful voice.

" If I had a brother of my own, he would never ignore me even if someone else came into his life, just like Papa and Mamu who never ignore you and bua." She adds

" It's ok baby, Anyway, you have your father...you know that your father is not just your father, he is your friend, your brother, everything.
you can share everything with him." Avni explains to her, to which she looks at her.

" Mom, you know, I still remember, on the first day of college, Aarav bhai was very happy that I was in the same college as him, and he said that no one can take my place in his life but now....." She is unable to say anything further because not only has someone taken her place but Aarav has removed her place from his life, which she is feeling sad about.

But after listening to all his words, Avni thinks something. Maybe the whole mistake is not just Aarav's, she might have done something too?
Well, she has faith in her daughter that she can never think of making her brothers unhappy, but maybe she too might have made a mistake.

" Bachha, Did you say something wrong to Aarav or do something wrong to him due to which he is hurt ?" Avni asks her

" I don't know what I said that offended him....But mom trust me, I am not jealous of his friend, don't know why he feels that way....but mom you tell me why would I be jealous of his friend, what do I lack that I should be jealous of his that friend." Aaira says
