Pihu opened the door, squealing in delight as Sakshi came in her sight.
"Oh my God!"
She hugged her tightly while Sakshi reciprocated the love by rubbing her back. "I missed you, Bhabhi."
Pihu giggled while looking at her. "I missed you so much." She chuckled while hugging her again. "I am so happy to see you, Sakshi."
Raghav rolled his eyes. "Now, will you both come inside or shall I play some emotional background music?"
Both the ladies chuckled while getting inside. Raghav took her suitcase and bag up to Sakshi's bedroom. While his mother came out of her room along with her husband.
Sakshi's smile faded.
Pihu watched as her father-in-law walked ahead, with his arms open, making Sakshi smile sadly. He hugged her laughingly. "My child has return. Alert the media, please. We need to celebrate."
Both of them chuckled while Pihu wiped the corner of her eyes. She didn't know how much worried she was for this girl. Now, that she was in front of her, she was overwhelmed.
Sakshi pulled away from her Tau ji, now looking awkwardly at her Tai ji.
"Namaste, Tai ji." She mumbled while going towards her, hugging her softly when she had started to sob lightly.
"I am sorry for making you feel depressed, baby. You shouldn't have left like that, so early. Now, I won't let you go until your college staff starts calling in concern."
Sakshi chuckled, smiling to herself. She missed all this drama, she missed her family. It was bearable than the real mess that she had left back in the Delhi.
"Wait! Your eyes looks swollen. What is the deal?" Her Tai ji asked worriedly. Pihu too reached them, observing her when Sakshi shook her head.
"Exams are over now. I slept till late, in the morning-"
"Bua!" Rian screamed while running towards her, hugging her legs.
Sakshi gasped, and excitedly carried him in her arms. Kissing her cheeks and hugging her tightly, she made a face that was close to choking out a sob. She controlled hard, smiling when Pihu looked at her adorably.
"When I told him, you were coming. He has been waiting since then," told Pihu with a smile.
"How are you, baby?" Sakshi pouted, moving her head back to see Rian quiet and hugging her. "You missed me?"
The boy nodded with a grumpy face still hugging her, making everyone laugh.
Pihu looked through the window and noticed, "It's dark already. Now, go and freshen up. I will bring something for you. You can rest and have dinner later. I have made your favourite dishes. Halwa too."
"Oh! Come on, Bhabhi. I have been avoiding sugar since months."
Pihu nodded her head in humour. "Yes. Yes. You have to maintain that zero figure. You look all skinny to me. Exams did work on you enough-"
"Pihu!" Raghav's voice came from the first floor, making her jump.
"Coming," she mumbled, leaving the hall already, climbing stairs.
Sakshi laughed along with others, still holding Rian in his arms.
"Thank God for making families," she whispered to herself, taking Rian with her towards her room.

Aditi walked from left to right, frowning at the words she was listening.
"I tried to stop her, but she didn't listen. Now, what could I do? I told you the first moment she left. Anyway, she didn't make up with her boyfriend. He was here in the morning," she answered.
