After a pleasant breakfast with the Singhania family, Kashi said, "Aunty, I need to leave now," as she decided to head back to Jhansi.

Shalini, who had taken a liking to Kashi's sweet nature, quickly replied, "Beta, stay for a while longer. There's no need to rush."

Kashi offered a soft smile and said, "Aunty, I really need to go. Maa is not well, and the girl staying with her will also leave today. I also have to go to work at the textile factory, so I won't be able to stay here for now. I need to reach the factory by afternoon."

Seeing the concern in Kashi's eyes, Shalini nodded, understanding the urgency in her voice. "If it's urgent, I won't insist you to stay, beta. But do visit us again soon, okay? It was lovely having you here."

Kashi smiled shyly, folding her hands and slightly bowing her head as a sign of respect. "Thank you so much, Aunty and Uncle, for letting me stay here. I'm truly grateful."

Shalini gently took Kashi's hands and said, "Please, beta, don't thank us again and again. You're always welcome here."

Kashi's heart warmed at their kindness, but she knew she had responsibilities waiting for her back in Jhansi. She was still lost in her thoughts when Rajendra spoke up.

"Beta, how will you go?" Rajendra asked, concern evident in his voice.

Before Kashi could respond, Vishwanath, who had just entered the room with Raghavendra, overheard the conversation.

"Uncle, I will take an auto to the bus stand and then there's a direct bus to Jhansi," Kashi explained.

Shalini, who saw Vishwanath entering the hall, quickly interrupted, "Kashi Vishu can drop you, at least to the bus stand."

Kashi immediately shook her head. "No, no, Aunty. I can go on my own, really. No need to trouble Vishwanath ji."

Rajendra chimed in with a gentle smile, "It's okay, beta. You're our guest. It's our responsibility to ensure you reach home safely."

Before Kashi could protest further, Vishwanath, smiling brightly, said, "Yes, maa, I'll drop Kashi to the bus stand."

Rajendra nodded approvingly. "Good. Vishwa beta, after dropping Kashi, come to the office. Raghavendra and I will meet you there."

Vishwanath nodded again, his heart light with happiness. Rajendra and Raghavendra left for the office.

Vishwanath turned to Kashi and said with a gentle smile, "Let's go, Kashi."

Kashi nodded, giving Shalini a quick hug and a sweet goodbye before following Vishwanath to the car. As they sat in the sleek black vehicle, a comfortable silence enveloped them.

Kashi sat in the car, her hands nervously fidgeting in her lap. The silence between them was almost tangible, and the only sounds were the low hum of the engine and the occasional rustle of the trees outside.

Vishwanath finally broke the silence, his voice soft but filled with intent. "Kashi........" he began, his eyes fixed ahead, "Before I drop you at the bus stand, I want to take you somewhere."

Kashi, startled by his sudden request, blinked in surprise. "Where, Vishwanath ji?" she asked softly, her brows furrowing in curiosity.

He glanced at her, a small smile playing on his lips. "Just tell me, will you come?"
