Shivaay: Anika I'll see you later

Anika: theek hai, bye

Anika pecks his cheek as he leaves for office the following day. A few minutes after he's gone, she notices Om, Gauri Rudra and Bhavya going out

Anika: tum chaar kaha chale hai?

Om: hospital. Bhavya ko leker jaara hai Rudra

Gauri: aur hum dono medicines lene jaare as well as shopping

Bhavya: actually, tum sab jao, mein Bhaabi ke saath rukhti

Rudra: Bhavya tera Appointment hai, tujhe jaana padega

Om: Shivaay office gaya kya?

Anika: haa

Om: phir mein rukhta

He works out that no one is home, except Daksh along with Anika and Chutki

Anika: Om tu jaa, Khannah bas aara hai

Om: then we'll wait uske aane ke liye

Anika: no Om, late ho jayega

Om: Bhaabi....

Anika: Om jao, Gauri isse leker chall

Gauri: Om, Di keh rhi hai voh theek ho gi

Rudra: O jaldi challo yaar

They go and Anika rushes to her room to take Chutki. She's not going to put her down for one second until someone else comes. Feeling thirsty, she goes to the kitchen to take a glass of water

Anika: Chutki, tujhe bhi paani chahiye?

Chutki: paani paani

She says and opens her mouth

Anika: ek mint Chutki

She makes her sit on the kitchen slab and pours the water from the jug into the glass next to her. After putting the jug down, her one hand goes around her baby and the other holds the water glass. She makes her drink it before taking a few sips herself

Anika: acha laga?

Chutki nods her head

Anika: you're my good girl

The baby smiles, accepting the praise

Chutki: Mumma me naach wiv Sonu Maasi aur Shaddu Maasi

Anika: Tujhe naachna hai with your Sonam Maasi and Shraddha Maasi? Okay, next time jab voh aayege, hum dance karenge

The baby claps her hands. When others watch movies in the house, more often with Gauri, Chutki sits and watches the various actors and actresses. Her favourites are when she sees her own to Maasi's dancing and acting, making her applaud at the screen. Though she doesn't understand what's going on in the film, she enjoys their appearance on their TV screen.

Anika: oye Chutki, la la land se bhaar aao

She snaps her fingers in front of the lost baby's face. She comes back down to Earth and looks around. A voice then reaches their ears and it is no other than the villain

Daksh: tum dono yaha masti kare hai

Their heads turn and Chutki worries a little, finding the ponytail man quite dodgy, especially his weird smile. No one shows their 32 teeth like that

Chutki: scaly uncle

She intended to say scary and both the adults interpreted that from her words. Anika takes Chutki in her protective hold. It's true that a mother can do anything and everything when it comes to the matter of their children.
