Aditya woke up early the next day. He saw Zoya doing push ups in the room and smiled mischiviously as he tiptoed across the room and sat on Zoya's back. Zoya fell and Aditya laughed loudly and said "Kya Zoya, roz sau pushup karti ho fir bhi mera weight nhi le paai?". Zoya rolled her eyes and said  "Uthiye aap humare upar se. Poora flow bigaad diya humara."

Aditya hugged her and said "Usmein toh main expert hoon.", to which Zoya said "Adi, please abhi nhi. Hum paseene se geele hai. Aap jaiye nahake aaiye fir hum jayenge uske baad aapko jitna hug karna hai kar lijiyega."

Aditya got up obdiently and took his towel from the cupboard as Zoya continued with her pushups. Aditya said before heading towards the bathroom "Zoya, kal na Mri ke school mein Parent Teacher Meeting hai , toh maine usi hisaab se surgeries line ki hai , toh tum bhi apna schedule accordingly bana lena."

Zoya showed him thumbs up as she was panting and Aditya went.  After they got ready, they headed down for breakfast. Mrinalini was packing her school bag in her room as it was the first day of school after the summer break, Harsh was reading the paper. He greeted Zoya and Aditya as they came down, gave Zoya a kiss on the cheek and poured them some coffee and gave them a plate of toast with marmalade.

They were discussing the headlines when the door bell rang. Aditya was getting up but Zoya beckoned him to sit, as she had finished.

She opened the door and faced a man whom she didn't recognise and said "Yes, how may I help you?"

The man gave her a small smile and said "Is Aditya Hooda there?"

Zoya nodded but didn't let him step inside and asked him "Aapki tareef ? "

Before the man could reply Zoya heard Aditya's voice behind her. His voice was sharp as a blade and he was trembling  with anger as he said "Yash Arora, how dare you walk in here.? "

He walked towards him and held his collar and said "Teri itni himmat ki tu idhar aa gya. Maine bola tha na tujhe ki mujhe apni shakal bhi mat dikhana. Tujhe samajh mein nhi aata ek baari mein?"

Zoya was appaled at his behaviour and was trying her best to make him leave Yash.

Harsh was standing shell shocked , Yash however seemed unpertubed by Aditya's action and said in a very polite voice "Aditya please chodiye mujhe. Let's act like mature adults now."

Aditya let out a manical laugh and said "Tujhe chod doon main Yash. You bloody cheat , you are a murderer , you are the reason my sister is no more. I swear I will kill you with my bare hands."

Zoya said "Aditya please chodiye unhe, kar kya rhe hai aap."

Aditya didn't leave him until he heard Mrinalini exclaim "PAPA!!!!!" Aditya hands slipped from Yash's collar.

Yash's eyes moved towards his daughter. He looked at her from head to toe, taking in how much she had grown in the past two years. Mrinalini stayed rooted at her spot, her mouth was slightly open, tears forming in her big brown eyes.

Yash started walking towards her, Aditya was going to stop him but Zoya held his hand and stopped him from doing so. Aditya was glaring at Yash as he was moving towards Mri.

Each step he took made Aditya spew venom. Harsh was observing the situation gravely but his face didn't give away what he was thinking.

Yash knelt in front of Mrinalini and said in a soft voice "Mrinalini ,my  baby."
