Daya P.O.V.:

We start talking while waiting for Shreya..... and soon we hear... "AAAWWWW!!!!!" What we saw made us freeze in our places......I saw Shreya slip on the stairs and come down to the ground rolling.......it took me a few seconds to realize what happened and when I did I immediately rush to her...she was wincing in pain....it hurt to see her like that.....Thank god...she didn't loose her conscious....I take her head into my lap and cup her face"Shreya...are you fine ? is it hurting ?" and she replies in pain "aww...it hurts...Its hurting a lot daya....". I enquire her "Where did you get hurt ?" And she replies in her breaking voice "ankle twist ...". I say "acha...calm down.....bhabhi will do something..you'll be fine..." to comfort her.....and then I day"Bhabhi ...."to which she replies"haan..daya...I'm checking..dont panic.." and turns to Shreya to say"Shreya....try to move your ankle...rotate it...".Shreya tries doing it and says " I cant Bhabhi..it hurts...."I start moving my hand through her hair to calm her down and I hear Sachin asking"Tarika ji..It isn't serious right..its not fractured right ? Shall we take her to the hospital..." and bhabhi replies"no Sachin..its not serious..Its just a ankle twist..once she rotates it it'll be fine..."and then she turns towards me and says"daya...Pick shreya up..get her to a room..."

I pick up Shreya in my arms and she wraps her arms around my neck...and I immediately rush her to a room....and put her down in the bed.....she was still crying...guess she's badly hurt....Bhabhi puts a pillow under Shreya's leg....I put her head in my lap...Bhabhi was instructing ishita to bring some stuff...I look at Shreya and say"Shreya...look at me...." And she does...I continue"please don't cry...I can't see you crying...I know its hurting...." And she nods....and then Bhabhi says"Shreya...im going move your ankle in some directions...If it hurts a lot..then stop me...okay ?" and Shreya just replies with a "hmm".

Bhabhi slowly starts rotating shreya's ankle and Shreya is wincing in great pain...and I can feel her clenching my sweat pants with one hand and her nails digging into my hand which was holding hers...but it didn't really matter cause at this moment it is Shreya that matters......and then after a few more minutes Bhabhi was successful in making Shreya's ankle alright..and I hear her saying.." done...shreya.....just 5 more minutes....let me tie the crepe bandage then you can rest.." and Shreya justs nods her head and turns her head sidewards and I see her closing her eyes....i just pat her on her hair...and soothe her...

By the time Bhabhi completed tying the crepe bandage,Shreya was asleep...And then bhaiyya comes and says " Daya....I need to talk with you..." I nod in affirmative....and put shreya's head in ishita's lap and move out with bhaiyya....we go to the terrace....and I ask " what's it bhaiyya?" as I could sense something serious by his voice...he replies"daya....I guess it was planned..." not understanding what he was indicating to I ask"what was planned ?" to which he replies "Shreya's fall..I noticed some oil on the steps..." and I say"Bhaiyya...it might have been dropped accidently or maybe you're right too......" And he says "hmm...maybe..ditch it...let's go and sit there..." pointing towards the table in the garden...

We both head there and take seats...and bhaiyya asks"toh...like Shreya ?" I didn't expect this.... I reply " yup bhaiyya....I don't just like her...I've fallen in love...sMaybe history is repeating..what happened in dad's case is repeating...and i can't believe she had studied in abroad..I mean her simplicity....innocence.....culture...accepting everyone as her family..ham sabko apna manna....i mean....there are very less people who don't forget their culture after studying abroad...aur the surprising thing is she mingles so fast..It does'nt feel like we've met yesterday...it feels like we've all known each other since years..you might have not noticed....shreya called Bhabhi as Bhabhi ...even withoput being intoduced....that means she remembered everything that I told her about bhabhi...and it means that she keeps note and remembers each and every small note about our family...what else can i expect bhaiyya ?....mumma and papa didn't just find a perfect life partner...they found a perfect daughter and daughter-in-law.. " I complete with a sigh......he says " happy to know mere bhai.....I don't know much about Shreya..but I surely know she'll keep you happy......"
