City hospital, Mumbai

" Lakshmi's marriage is over, so now you can't say that reason. Her future is secured with an eligible man in this city.  God's grace Aadhya is also doing well with her studies then what is your problem now ? Tell them about your condition..... Do the surgery and take some rest. You can't gamble with your life more than this. You already suffered from two major attacks Govind "

Govind was carelessly hearing everything that his doctor was saying to him. Only a fainted smile was on his face throughout their conversation.

" Smiling ? I am here talking about your health and you are smiling ? " Doctor looked at Govind with an unbelievable look.

" Okay then, I will call Lakshmi and tell her everything. Now only she can make you agree for this " doctor took his phone and searched for Lakshmi's number from contacts.

" Wait..... Wait... Let me tell you. Give me little more time. I will come back.... I promise. But till then if you have any medicines then give it to me" Govind stopped his doctor from calling Lechu and said.

" Why ? For what ? If it's about money then don't worry insurance will cover for the surgery and medicines" doctor says.

" It's not just about money. It's about my daughters itself. I started to get scared of everything now. Govind Varman who never feared of anything is no more alive. Even though Lechu's marriage is over my mind is not at ease. Everything happened so fast and now thinking about it, I rushed this marriage. I didn't even do a background check on Dev. Daughters are safe not when they are married but when they are with us.  Now I am more scared. If anything happens to me no one is there for Lechu and Aadhya. " Govind sighed heavily thinking about his daughters

" I should save somthing for both of them. Whatever I had it's all gone for case and all. That Hotel is my only hope now. Once I get an investor for my hotel I will come and do whatever you want. Till then please " Govind was worried and looked tensed about everything and his concern was all about his daughters.

" Your son in law is into business and you only have to give him a call for a trustworthy investor, then why you are getting worried ? Rather than medicines I want to give an advice to you as a friend. Don't take much stress and strain . You are giving lots of pressure to your heart which is not good for you now " Doctor adviced Mr Varman.

" I wish I could do that. Lechu was the my entertainment now she is not there. Before marriage I wished to travel with her back to Thanjavur and many other places. Nothing happened ..... Now she will get busy with her life. " He was reminiscing his old times with his daughters and wishes he had to do with them.

" I don't understand Lakshmi now a days. Girl who never forget to bring you hospital every month for routine check up is not at all showing up here. Do you remember even, if your BP got shoot up by a point she will scold me. You have seen that, every month we both will be fighting here in the name of your health. What happened to her now ? " Doctor asked to Govind about Lakshmi.

" She got busy with her new cafe. She is keeping herself busy now a days. So I let her be. At a point it's their life we should let them set free" Govind replied.

He talked with his doctor for some more time and left hospital with his medications.

Lechu's house

When Govind came back to his house he was surprised to see Lakshmi standing outside the house. What made it weired was she was peeking inside through window  like some burglar.

" Lechu.... " Lakshmi got startled and jumped from floor when Govind called her

" Appa.... " She looked at her dad scared and then calm down to look normal.
