Rudra was pacing anxiously in the living room.
He left his meeting in the middle and rushed home.
Gauri was also aware of the circumstances and Rudra's level of anxiety.
Still she decided to change the topic

“Rudra when Abeer is arriving ?”

“ In a few days mom."

"Ooh, ok, well, Garima is not coming with him as she  is going to visit Giri.“

"Yeah, I know that we already discussed that and mom, please stop trying to divert my mind as I know what you are trying to do.”

Gauri sighed and told Rudra

"Rudra, you are getting worried unnecessarily; Adhya already told you everything is fine there.
She is already there with Adira.”

Yeah that's the problem Why did the school call her urgently and why did they not call me?
And on that, Adya told me that my presence was not required; she already handled the matter .so now i am waiting for my wife here
I just hope my daughter is fine or else I will sue this school."

Gauri sighed and nodded at her enraged son
The next moment Adya entered the house, Adira was beside her, holding her hand

Rudra was not expecting Adira to return from school , his anxiety level peaked up

“Princess, are you ok, dear ?”

Rudra approached her and hugged her teenage daughter from the side.
Adira just nodded her head , Rudra noticed her swollen eyes and  his rage peeked up to see his darling's condition.

“What happened?’

Adhya signal Rudra to keep calm and then told Adira
“Adira, you must freshened up first”

‘“Mom, please come with me. "Adira requested Adhya, holding her hand

“I will be reaching to you soon, dear. You go and change your clothes, First, ok?”

Adira nodded at her and left for her room in slow steps.

Rudra was looking at this interaction in shock as her daughter was behaving a little distant from him .
Adhya noticed the surroundings and found a single housekeeper present in the living room so she ordered  the housekeeper

"Get a hot bag ready and send it to Adira's room.”

When the worker departed, Rudra questioned Adya

“What's happening ? Is she hurt? Did someone trouble her ? “

"No, Rudraji, she started having periods today. It was evidently during school hours as well. She began to panic. The teacher called me because she was experiencing cramps and needed help calming down. I therefore believed it would be best if she would only return home.

What ? But she is a baby now How could …

“Rudra She is thirteen already. It's a natural process.”

Rudra sighed and got settled on the sofa He didn't understand how to react to this news

“Rudraji You must go to the office. I already took a leave. I will just stay with her. Okay, don't worry now. “
Stating this, Adhya left to reach to Adira's room to take care of her

It was afternoon when Dev entered the house and directly reached Adira's room.

“Mithu .. guess what? Today Shiv is coming home to play with us .  We must play football together, then badminton too.
I just freshen up until he reach ok “

Adira gaped at his older brother and told him in soft tone

“Sorry Bhai but I don't want to play today."
