A/N: Sorry for the disappearing act that we pulled up🙏🙏🙏🙏

Were busy with exams😰😰😰😰

So, here is the next and long Chappy as compensation😜😜😜😜

Enjoy😊😊😊😊

Shivaay: Are... are you sure?

Rudra: Haan. Doctor ne kaha hain na ki bhaiya aur bhabhi ko ghar le jaa sakte hain. (Of course. The doctor said that bhaiya and bhabhi can go home.)

Shivaay: Haan... Likin... (Yeah... but...)

Rudra: Likin-wikin kuch nahi. Aap choose kar lo, aapko humare saath car main aana hain ya bhabhi ke saath. Kal milte hain. (No 'ifs-and-buts'. You decide whether you want go in a car with us or with bhabhi. See you tomorrow.)

They leave from there. Shivaay, Anika and Mahi look towards each other. Anika breaks the silence by asking...

Anika: Ab? (Now?)

ShivHi: Huh?

Anika: Ab kya? (Now what?)

Shivaay: Ab... you both should be happy. Kal tum dono ko discharge mil jayega. Achha, mujhe thoda paperwork karna hain. I'll be back. (Now...you both should be happy. You both will be discharged tomorrow. I have some paperwork to do. I'll be back.)

He quickly went outside. As he left, Anika sighed and Mahi layed back on the bed.

Mahi: Yeh sab kuch itna... (Why is everything so...)

Anika: ... Complicated kyoon hain? (...Complicated?)

Mahi: Sahi-eech bola. (Exactly.)

Anika: Pata hain, Shivaay bahot bade Tadibaaz hain. Woh bolenge nahi par woh itne toot gaye hain ki wapas Oberoi Mansion bhi nahi jaa sakte. (You know, Shivaay has a big attitude. He'll not say it but he's so broken on the inside that he can't even go back to Oberoi Mansion.)

Mahi: Likin woh hum dono ki wajah se kuch keh bhi nahi sakta. (But he's not saying anything because of our condition.)

Anika: *buries her face in her palms* Itna raita kaise phail gaya Mahi? (How did things get so messed up Mahi?)

Mahi: *keeps his hand on her shoulder* Tu chinta mat kar. Raita phaila hain to simat bhi jaayega. (Don't worry. If things got messed up, they'll sort out as well.)

Anika: Kaash aisa hi ho. (I hope that's what happens.)

Next morning, after their examination, MahIka were discharged. ShivIka went in one car and RuHi in one. They reach Oberoi Mansion. Shivaay helps Anika and Rudra helps Mahi to go inside. Before the step in, Gauri stops them.

Gauri: *come running* Rukiye! (Wait!)

Bhavya catches up with an Aarti ki thaal. Om, too, comes down.

Gauri: Aarti ke bina aap dono kaise aa sakte hain? (How can you enter without the Aarti being performed?)

Om: Gauri, rehne do. (Let it be Gauri.)

Gauri: Arey, aise kaise? Ghar ke bade bete aur badi bahu wapas aaye hain.  (How can I? The eldest sons and eldest daughter-in-law of the family have returned.)

AnShivHi look towards each then sadly towards the floor. Om gives an angry glare to Gauri while Bhavya tries to handle the situation.

Bhavya: Achha, Mahi bhaiya, aapka room humne ready karwa liya hain toh ek baar dekh lijiye. Bade bhaiya ka room ke paas hi hain. (Oh, Mahi bhaiya, we have prepared your room so might want to check that out. It's near (Shivaay) Bade Bhaiya's room.)
