Everyone was standing near car all ready for picnic,
Saraswarti looks at Abhya who seemed to be waiting for someone," Abhya" she calls him and he looks at her with a smile,"yes mom"

"For whom are you waiting?" She asks
"Mom I am waiting for Bhoomi even I asked her to accompany us" he says while Saraswati smiles and Arvi frowns. Obviously his mom knew about Bhoomi but his wife didn't.

Just then Bhoomi comes running with a bag in her hands.
"Sorry Abhya, I was late as I need to come running all the way" She says panting.
Abhya shakes his head in disbelief seeing how dramatic this girl is as she came here in car which she stopped few steps before his house.

"Drama queen, you should have given me some better reason that could be believed." He says taking bag from her hands and placing it in car.

"No no I wasn't sleeping." She answers while he laughs. She bites her tongue and holds her ears asking for sorry.

Arvi sees Abhya so comfertablely and freely talking to her and doesn't like it but plasters the fake smile. Nandini gets exiceted seeing her, " Hi, I am nandini." She says introducing herself and forwarding hand to her. Bhoomi smiles and shakes her hand with her," Hi I am Bhoomi."

Bhoomi then sees Saraswati and goes to her. She bends to take blessing touching her feet but Saraswati stops her and hugs her," Daughters don't touch feet" she says with a warm smile and watery eyes.

Arvi was now getting more jealous as Saraswati never gave this much love to anyone except her and now who is this girl snatching her things from her.

They all sit in car while Abhya was driving, Arvi was sitting in passenger seat. Nandini as was of jolly nature easily mingled with Bhoomi. But Arvi was silent all the while.
Nandini notices Arvi and says" di what are you looking outside the window and why are you so silent."
She turns and just passes a fake smile to her saying nothing. Bhoomi takes few chocolates off her handbag.

"Nandini chocolates?" Bhoomi asks her and she excitedly grabs one of them.

"Mom chocolate, I made them" Bhoomi asks forwarding them to her. Arvi was going green in envy and immediately says,"no mom don't like chocolates" but Saraswati takes one among them making her more angry at Bhoomi.
"Abhya take you special sugar free chocolate." Bhoomi says.

"Bhoomi I am driving." He says while his full concentration on driving.
Bhoomi opens the wrapper leaning forward on his seat and makes him eat the chocolate and now Arvi was controlling her tears not letting them fall.

"Arvi take one." Bhoomi says happily but Arvi nods in no a d looks outside window making Abhya frown.

They reach farm house after sometime. All were in their respective rooms getting ready, as they have decided to go to a nearby hill.

All get ready and gather in living room.
"Di I am so excited" says nandini.
"I am not coming." Replies Arvi, while all looks at her.

"But why Arvi are you fine" asks Saraswati with concern.

"Yes mom just want some time alone."

"But Di why are you being mood spoiler in whole journey, C'mon we are here to enjoy." Nandini says frowning.

"It's fine nandini of she don't want to come let her rest." Says Abhya.
While hearing her Arvi fists her palm in anger which was noticed only by Bhoomi.
Sarswati and nandini leaves to sit in car while Arvi leaves to her room.

Bhoomi stops Abhya and even Arvi stops for listening to them at a little distance.

"Abhya, what is this?" Bhoomi said making him frown in confusion,"what Bhoomi?"

"Go and asks Arvi to come" ordered Bhoomi.
"But she dont want to come she herself said this, even you were present."
"Abhya, you are so dumb, she lied."
"And why will she lie."

"Because she wants you to persuade her to come."

Just then Arvi interrupts their conversation.
"Bhoomi I seriously don't want to come" she leaves to her room saying this.
"Look I told you, she don't want to come" hearing him Bhoomi smacks her forehead with her palm.

"Abhya she repeated it now as she got to know that I told you to persuade her and you didn't do it by yourself." Bhoomi says trying to explain him but he gives her disinterested to know look.
"Bhoomi I am really not interested, if she wants even she can come now, but she don't so rather wasting time we should leave" Abhya says leaving while Bhoomi sighs before she makes her way out of the house.

Arvi rushes to her room and slips in bed crying. All other reach the place which was quite near from Farmhouse.

It was a beautiful point like a hilly area, only few people's were present their, it was quite place. Everywhere was greenery and cold breeze made environment just not less than some hill station.

"Abhya missing your wife." Says Bhoomi, while Abhya smiles sadly. He well knows that he cannot lie to her. Bhoomi cannot see him sad.

"Bhoomi she don't care about me, whether am I alive or dead."
Bhoomi has never seen him like this, he was always strong and rough man.

"What are you saying Abhya?"

"She herself told me yesterday." Abhya says with heavy voice.
"Abhya she lied she cares for you, you are her husband." Bhoomi explains.
"I am a girl I know her better you can, she is not so intelligent to solve a puzzle like you"
"Bhoomi is it me a puzzle or her, why she directly don't say what's in her mind to me"
"Abhya.."

"No Bhoomi, If she wanted to come here she should hav come and if she wanted me to persuade her to come she should have said and if she really care why did she lie." Abhya said seeing Saraswati and nandini enjoying the surrounding.
While Bhoomi shakes her head in disbelief.

Nandini comes running to Bhoomi and Abhya
"Jiju can we stay here even a day more, please please please....." She goes on saying please while obviously he cannot deni. He looks at Saraswati and she nods in yes and even he agrees.
