Jam menunjukkan pukul sembilan malam, Ragini mengantar Mischa ke kamarnya Uttara karena Mischa tidur bersama Uttara.
"Hai Uttara!" Sapa Ragini saat memasuki kamarnya Uttara.
Seketika Uttara mematikan ponselnya saat Ragini memasuki kamarnya. "Hai Kak! Hai juga Mischa!"

Ragini mencium kening Mischa dan berkata. "Sayang, sebelum tidur jangan lupa berdoa ya! Kalau belum bisa tidur, kau hitung saja anak domba! Selamat mimpi indah! Besok pagi Ibu akan mengajakmu jalan-jalan sebagai permintamaafan karena-"

Mischa mendaratkan telunjuknya ke bibir Ragini dan berkata. "Ibu tidak perlu merasa bersalah padaku. Jika kalian berdua bahagia aku juga bahagia." Kemudian dia melanjutkan. "Tetapi ibu janji ya akan mengajakku jalan-jalam besok pagi?"

Ragini mengangguk. Kemudian Uttara berkomentar, "Wow, seru sekali kalian akan jalan-jalan besok!"

"Bibi ingin ikut juga?" Tanya Mischa.

"Tidak, Mischa. Besok bibi akan menghadiri pernikahan salah satu teman bibi." Jawab Uttara.

Kemudian Ragini keluar dari kamarnya Uttara dan kembali ke kamarnya.

Keesokan paginya seusai sarapan, Raglaksh dan Mischa sudah berada di komplek Victoria Memorial. Bangunanya megah dan indah. Begitu masuk ke pelataran, terdapat patung dan ukiran-ukiran yang menceritakan tentang Ratu Victoria.

Puas menikmati pelataran, mereka bertiga segera bergabung dengan antrean panjang untuk pemeriksaan sebelum masuk. Bagian dalam bangunan berbentuk seperti dome besar dan terbagi kedalam beberapa galeri.

Royal Gallery misalnya, berisi lukisan-lukisan mengenai kehidupan Queen Victoria, dari masa penobatannya sebagai ratu hingga kematian beliau. Selain itu, masih terdapat banyak galeri lain yang berisi aneka koleksi patung dan ukiran, lukisan, litograph, alat perang, hingga busana sang Ratu.

Victoria Memorial juga menyimpan koleksi-koleksi dari seniman terkenal dunia abad ke-18, seperti Thomas and William Daniell. Suasana yang tenang membuat mereka betah berlama-lama menelusuri galeri-galeri tersebut. Tetapi sayangnya pengambilan gambar di dalam bangunan tidak diperbolehkan, kecuali dengan izin resmi.

Setelah puas mempelajari sejarah, mereka istirahat sejenak di taman bunga indah yang mengelilingi bangunan sambil mengabadikan momen. Taman-taman tersebut juga banyak digunakan masyarakat lokal untuk piknik bersama keluarga, termasuk mereka. Ragini sudah membawa beberapa makanan dari rumah untuk makan siang di sini bersama suaminya dan putrinya.

"Bagaimana sebelum makan kita foto bersama?" Tanya Ragini. Laksh dan Mischa mengangguk lalu foto bersama. Setelah itu mereka makan bersama hingga selesai.

Hari semakin siang sehingga mereka memutuskan untuk pulang ke rumah. Tetapi saat di perjalanan rumah, tiba-tiba Mischa ingin makan manisan di salah satu toko.

"Baiklah, aku juga ingin manisan. Sekalian saja beli manisan untuk yang lainnya di rumah." Kata Ragini. Laksh mengangguk dan memberikan uangnya ke Ragini untuk membeli manisan. Laksh dan Mischa menunggu di dalam mobil sementara Ragini pergi ke toko itu. Tokonya lumayan luas dan ramai.

Setelah selesai mendapatkan manisan terlaku di sana, Ragini segera keluar dari toko menuju mobil Laksh. Tetapi sebelum masuk ke mobil Laksh, Ragini melihat di restoran seberang toko manisan ada seorang perempuan yang sangat ia kenali. Uttara.

"Uttara?! Di..dia bersama siapa? Bukankah dia pamit ingin pergi ke pernikahan temannya?" Batin Ragini setelah melihat Uttara sedang makan bersama seorang laki-laki di restoran itu. Sayangnya laki-laki itu membelakanginya sehingga dia tidak tahu siapa laki-laki itu.

Sebenarnya dia ingin menghampiri Uttara, tapi dia mengurungkan niatnya. Ragini memilih masuk ke dalam mobil dan tidak membahasnya dengan Laksh. Sepertinya Laksh tidak melihat Uttara, baguslah!

It was nine o'clock at night, Ragini took Mischa to Uttara's bedroom because Mischa slept with Uttara.
"Hi Uttara!" Ragini greets as she enters Uttara's bedroom.
Instantly Uttara turned off her cellphone when Ragini entered her room. "Hi Sis! Hi too Mischa!"

Ragini kisses Mischa on the forehead and says. "Darling, don't forget to pray before sleep! If you can't sleep, you can count the lambs! Have a nice dream! Tomorrow morning, Mom will take you for a walk as an excuse because-"

Mischa landed her index finger on Ragini's lips and said. "You don't have to feel bad about me. If you are both happy I'm happy too." Then she continued. "But you promise you will take me out tomorrow morning?"

Ragini nods. Then Uttara commented, "Wow, how exciting you guys are going out tomorrow!"

"Do you want to come too?" Asked Mischa.

"No, Mischa. Tomorrow I will attend to one of my friends' wedding." Uttara replied.

Then Ragini comes out of Uttara's room and returns to her room.

The next morning, after breakfast, Raglaksh and Mischa were at the Victoria Memorial complex. The building is magnificent and beautiful. Once inside the courtyard, there are statues and carvings that tell about Queen Victoria.

Satisfied enjoying the court, the three of them immediately joined the long line for inspection before entering. The inside of the building is shaped like a large dome and is divided into several galleries.

The Royal Gallery, for example, contains paintings about Queen Victoria's life, from her coronation as queen to her death. Apart from that, there are still many other galleries that contain various collections of sculptures and carvings, paintings, litographs, weapons of war, to the Queen's clothes.

The Victoria Memorial also houses collections from world famous 18th century artists, such as Thomas and William Daniell. The calm atmosphere makes them feel at home for a long time exploring the galleries. But unfortunately shooting inside the building is not allowed, except with official permission.

After being satisfied studying history, they took a short break in the beautiful flower garden that surrounds the building while capturing the moment. These parks are also widely used by local people for picnics with their families, including them. Ragini has brought some food from home for lunch here with her husband and daughter.

"How about before eating we take a photo together?" Ragini asked. Laksh and Mischa nodded then took a photo together. After that they ate together until finished.

It was getting late so they decided to go home. But while on the way home, suddenly Mischa wants to eat sweets at one of the shops.

"Okay, I want sweets too. Just as well we buy sweets for the others at home." Ragini says. Laksh nods and gives the money to Ragini to buy sweets. Laksh and Mischa wait in the car while Ragini leaves for the shop. The shop is quite spacious and busy.

After finishing getting the sweets sold there, Ragini immediately walked out of the shop towards Laksh's car. But before getting into Laksh's car, Ragini sees that in the restaurant opposite the sweet shop there is a woman whom she really knows. Uttara.

"Uttara ?! Who ... is she with? Didn't she say goodbye to go to herfriend's wedding?"Inner Ragini after seeing Uttara eating with a man in the restaurant. Unfortunately the boy turned his back on her so she didn't know who it was.

Actually she wanted to approach Uttara, but she discouraged.  Ragini chooses to get in the car and not discuss it with Laksh. Looks like Laksh didn't see Uttara, great!
