Adira returned from school and left for her room, the lady guard appointed for adira again informed adhya as last time adhya didn't attained the call but fortunately this time she did , though Adhya was quite busy in her office with work.

 "    Mam, adira was crying all the way back home,I  tried to ask her but she denied saying anything. “

   " Ooh ok , I am returning home soon. I will see to it."

  Adhya called Abeer who was busy in his studies to check on Adira, Abeer consoled his overworked mother and reached her room.

   "  What happened mittu?"

    Adira shook her head , but tears were not stopping from her eyes. Abeer thought it may be something she should tell her mom only. So he ordered some shake for her and got settled on the couch in her room only .As he doesn't want to leave her alone , he already knew that Adhya is on her way to home .Abeer was missing his dad who is in Delhi for some work.

As soon as Adhya entered the shekhawat mansion she rushed to Adira's room.

She saw Adira sitting on a bedside sobbing badly . Adhya gaped at Abeer who just shrugged his shoulders to signal that he didn't know the reason yet .

     Adhya went near her and checked her temperature. At first she thought maybe she's unwell but she was relieved to found that her body is not warm

  "  What happened to you Adira?"

   Adira looked at her with tears in her eyes and asked "you are not my mom , dad is not my dad and Abeer bhai and Dev bhai are not my brothers. My friend was teasing me that I am adopted ,I am a pity case, you did charity by….." She couldn't hold her sob more and cried harder.

     Adhya was shocked to know this,it was not their intention to hide this truth from Adira all life , they were just waiting for some more years so that Adira would be mature enough and could understand the truth and react positively . Adhya  stumbled on her place , and Abeer was quick to give support to her .

"   Mom please ,handle yourself ".he murmured near her ears .

    " Adira listen to me child " Adhya stated holding on her sob 

" Just tell me if this is true or not ."

 Adhya was not in a state to handle this situation; she was missing  the family members who were  on their way to London  and her husband was in Delhi for an important deal .

Adhya  didn't wait any longer and rushed to her bedroom. She called Rudra and told the whole situation. She requested him to return asap as she doesn't know how to handle Adira .

    Abeer was behind her; Adhya ordered Abeer to stay near Adira as she didn't have the strength to face her questioning eyes  .

     It was dinner time when Rudra reached home , Adhya who was waiting for him in the living room hugged him sobbing badly .

" She knew the truth, Rudra ji  ,she will hate us now , what should we do ? We didn't want to hide the truth .. I cannot live without her rudraji …"

     "Shh, just don't worry,let me talk to her . "Rudra signaled Abeer who was present in the living room to handle her mom 

Dev who returned from the birthday party late in the evening sensed the tension in the air he understood something  had happened and especially when Abeer told him not to disturb Adira  . Only Abeer was the one who was checking on her in between,so Dev got settled in the living room as he was also oblivious of the truth .
