Himadri pushed Avyaan towards the house insisting him to change while he sniffled a bit and went in. Shivanya felt guilty to encourage Avyaan to show his hurt to Himadri as she never thought he'd go so harsh that it would hurt her and him too.
"Hima! Sorry, I suggested him to show you that he is hurt and mad at you, he- he was unable to express it and told me and I just encouraged him to do this... I know it is stupid but-" Shivanya went on blabbering. Shivanya bohot bholi hai yaar but only when she is with her loved ones nahi toh hai hee woh humari fierce IPS officer 🤭
"Vaini shant! Kahi stupid nahi ahe!!! I didn't mind him getting angry on me, to tyacha hakka ahe g! Mala raag tevha ala jevha tyane annavar bolla, okay? Chill!" Himadri cut her words as she held her shoulders gently. Giving her a reassuring look, she turned towards Avyaan who was coming out of the house after changing to casuals.
(Sister-in-law calm down! Nothing is stupid here!!! I didn't mind him getting angry on me, it's his right! I felt angry when he spoke bad about food, okay?)●•°○•●°
They reached Jadhav house in 30 minutes and went in. Shivanya had the keys so they didn't ring the bell, also because Himadri wanted to surprise Advait.
"Hima, you go and call dada! We will sit here itself..." Shivanya said purposely as Avyaan also added, "Yes yes didu you go! Till then I will tell all the things you did yesterday so you'll get more scoldings!!" He giggled after completing and instead of getting angry or offended, Himadri just patted his head affectionately and went towards Advait’s room.
Himadri knocked on the door and once permitted, she entered Advait’s room. Fortunately, Advait was sitting with his back facing the door making it easier for Himadri to surprise him. She tiptoed towards him and suddenly hugged him from behind!
What shocked her was that the person who used to know just by the presence of her had now indulged himself so much in work that he didn't even realize it was Himadri but leaned back towards her as it felt comfortable.
This took Himadri off guard as she hesitantly called him, "D-dada?" He still didn't realize but replied, "Bol na Hima! Kay zala?" Well, when a person changes themselves, it either hurts the people around them or makes them happy.
(Speak Hima! What happened?)In this case, seeing the change in Advait, she was hurt and again guilt started eating her when she realized this would've added more to Shivanya's miseries too. "A-advait dada! I-I'm back... I'm back h-home!!" Himadri said in a broken voice. She was still hugging Advait from behind.
Advait froze for a moment and as he realized he quickly turned around to face her and cupped her face. His eyes had tears and it was as of time stood still for Himadri because meeting Advait was like partially meeting Shiwalik. She shared similar bond with both of them but it was also different in its own way.
Advait’s bond with Himadri - When Shiwalik introduced Himadri to Advait, he thought she will get a brother figure like him when he is not around but Advait, regardless that Himadri was younger, always treated her like she was the elder one. Of course she called him dada but it was their behavior that showed what they meant for each other. They say such brothers aren't trustable but Advait proved them wrong by giving Himadri the position of his elder sister he never had to such an extent that he used to touch her feet to seek blessings like Avyaan and Himadri do when they meet Shivanya...
Well it's too good to be real but it's true! I've a friend who is elder than me but respects me like his older sister and makes sure he is touching my feet to take blessings on every festival!!! Sweet right?
