Aditya was in the lounge, it was evening now. He received a call from Dia. They had planned to meet today, but he completely forgot because of everything going on. He answered the call.
"Adi, kabse calls kar rahi hoon" Dia said as he picked up.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry, mai bohot busy tha" he replied
"Sunday hai aaj" Dia scoffed
"Anu hospital mai thi" he explained
"Ania? Kyun, kya hua usay? Theek hai woh?" she asked immediately
"Relax, relax, ab bohot better hai" he replied as she started firing questions.
"Abhi kidhar ho?" she inquired
"Ghar aa gaye hain" he replied
"Mai chakkar lagaongi. Theek hai?" she asked
"You're always welcome" he replied, and she smiled.

Later, Ania woke up, feeling much better. Her head was stable now, and she felt a little fresher than before. She looked at the clock,it was 7:30 PM.
She freshened up and went downstairs. She saw Raghav, Divya, and Nisha sitting there having their evening tea with snacks. She went to them.
"Anu, kaise tabyat hai?" Nisha asked
"Mama, better" she replied, sitting next to her and leaning on her shoulder as Nisha patted her face.
"Bhaiya ne kuch bola?" Ania asked.
"Ghussa ho raha tha bohot aur tension bhi le raha tha" Nisha replied.
"Shake banwaon?" Nisha offered and Ania shook her head.
"Peyegi Chachi Aap banwain" Aditya said, and Ania glared at him.
"Mai lati hoon" Nisha said as she got up and went to the kitchen.
"Anu Idhar aao" Raghav said to her and she came to him and sat next to him
"Bhaiya say badtameezi ki thee Anu" Raghav said and she gulped and looked down
"Mai daantne nahi aaya beta samjhane aaya hoon" he said softly
"Rahul ne bataya mujhe , usne phir bhee sahi say nahi bataya , Maine Aarav se pucha aur mujhe bilkul acha nahi laga" his tone was calm yet determined
"Maine dekha hai Rahul ka pyaar Anu, Jaise aik baap apni beti say pyaar karta hai na us say zayada pyaar woh tumse karta thaa aur karta hai hamesha say. Mahesh k Jane k baad se Nisha wasn't in condition to take of you guys. Bhot choti thee tum. I used to live hamare dusre ghar main , Main kuch time k baad shift hua tha idhar. Rahul was alone here pehle
Ghar , parhai , office , sab itna maturely handle Kia usne apni age k hisab say. He himself was a young boy. Jis age main larke adventures karte hain ghoomte hain us age mai woh ghar ki saari needs ka khayal rakhta thaa. Aarav aur tumhe, dono ko apne bachoon ki tarhaan pyaar dia hai parenting ki hai." Raghav said softly explaining her and listened to him quietly resting her head on his chest.
" bare baba maine Bhaiya ko itni dafa bola baat karne ka woh nahi kar rahe mujhse baat. Mujhe acha nahi lag raha aise. Aap unse bolain k mujhse baat karain, mai sorry boloon gi bhott saara" she said sniffing
"Baat sorry ki nahi hai , baat realize karne ki hai. Do you realize the intensity of your words Ania? Do you think k aapne jo bola Bhaiya ko woh ghalat thaa?" He said gently talking her out of his embrace and asked in a calm yet determined tone looking into her eyes
"G bare baba ghalat bola sab I didn't mean it main Bhaiya se sorry boloongi" she immediately replied as she wiped her cheek from her sleeve
"That's it. Now go talk to him and apologize, and after that, you'll write an apology note to your Bhaiya. That's the punishment from my side ,the rest will be decided by Rahul himself" Raghav said and she looked at him with wide eyes
