After having their dinner, Anika helped aunty to clear the kitchen and dining area.

R- Anika, beta go Shivaay must be waiting for you. Anyways everything is done here.

Anika smiles and moves towards her room.

When she went to the room, she saw Shivaay who was fast asleep. She sighs in disbelief and drifts into sleep.

Next morning, Anika stirred in sleep and looks at Shivaay who was sleeping with open mouth.

She chuckles and closed his mouth with her index finger but after few seconds, his mouth opened again. Anika chuckles at him.

A- Cute Singh Oberoi. 😍

She looks at the clock and it was 8 o'clock.

A- Oh no! 8 baj gaye.Aunty ne toh breakfast taiyar karna shuru kar diya hoga, woh bhi kisi help ke bina.Aisa karti hoon,Shivaay ko utha to hoon, woh aunty ki help kar denge. (It's 8.Aunty must have started preparing breakfast that too without any help. Let me wake up Shivaay, he will help aunty.)

She calls out his name.

A- Shivaay, wake up. Wake up.

Shivaay rubs his eyes and looks at Anika.

S- Kya hua, Anika? Itni subah-subah mujhe kyu utha rahi ho?(What happened Anika? Why are you waking me up so early in the morning?)

A- Itni subah bhi nahi hai, already 8 baj chuke hai.Ab jaldi se utho aur jaake aunty kisi help karo breakfast banane mein.(It's not early morning Shivaay, it's already 8. Now get up fast and go, help aunty in making breakfast.)

Shivaay looks at her with a frown.

S- Par tumhe toh pata hai ki mujhe khana banana nahi aata. (But you know that I dont know cooking.)

A- Koi baat nahi par tum choti-moti help toh kar sakte ho na aunty ki. Waise bhi unhone humari bahut help ki hai. (It's ok but atleast you can help aunty a little. Anyways she has helped us a lot.)

Shivaay nods his head and steps down from the bed.

A- You go downstairs and I am going to take bath.

Shivaay was about to leave but he stops in his way.

S- Anika.

Anika turns and looks at him.

A- Haan.

S- Good Morning.

Shivaay was with a wide smile. Anika also smiles.

A- Good morning Shivaay.

Shivaay leaves the room. As soon as he reached downstairs, he directly went to kitchen but he doesn't find her there.

S- Anika bhi faltu mein tension le rahi thi. I think Aunty rest kar rahi hain. Ek baar unhe check kar leta hoon. (Anika was getting worried Unecesarily. I think Aunty is taking rest. Let me check her once.)

He went towards Aunty's room and the door was open a little.

Shivaay was about to open the door when he saw that aunty was counting some money and was really tensed. She was talking to herself.

R- Oh God! This month's expenses are about to get over and I don't have any money left with me other than this. How will I manage all this? I don't want Shivaay and Anika know about my problem, otherwise they'll feel bad. But how will I manage three people's food. This money is enough for one person but not three. What will I do now?

She keeps the money aside and takes out her golden bangles. She smiles sadly.

She goes and stands in front of her husband's photo.

R- ye aapka first anniversary gift tha mere liye. Main usey humesha apne paas rakhna chahti thi par aaj mujhe iski zarurat hai.Aaj main jaake isey bechkar kuch paise le aungi aur humari problem sone ho jayegi.(This was your first anniversary gift to me. I always wanted to cherish it but I had to use it today. I will go and sell it today and then the problem will be solved.)

Shivaay overheard her talks and he was in tears by now.

S(thinks) -Hum log itne selfish kaise ho sakte hain? Apni selfishness mein humne yeh tak nahi socha ki aunty humara kharcha kaise manage karengi. Mujhe Anika se baat karni padegi.(How can we be so selfish? In our selfishness, we never thought about aunty that how will she manage our expenses. I have to talk to Anika.)

He immediately leaves and enters his room. He saw Anika combing her hair.

(Credits to ImLilMissComplicated❤)

S- Anika I have to talk something. It's important.

Anika looks at him with a concerned face.

A- Kya hua Shivaay? ( What happened Shivaay?)

S- Anika, I think hume aaj hi.. No.. In fact abhi iss ghar se chale jaana chahiye. ( Anika I think we should leave from this house.)

A- Par kyu? (but why?)

Shivaay narrates everything to Anika.

Anika sits on bed with her hand on her forehead.

A- Shivaay, hum log itne careless kaise ho sakte hain. Yeh toh hum logo ne socha hi nahi. Kal jab aunty mujhe sab kuch bata rahi thi tab bhi yeh baat mere dimaag mein nahi aayi. (Shivaay, how can we be so careless? We never thought about this. Yesterday when aunty was telling me everything then also nothing clicked my mind.)

S- It's ok Anika. It's not late yet. We will leave today itself.

A- Par hume yahan se jaane se pehle aunty ko kuch toh batana padega ki humlog kahan ja rahe hain. (But before leaving from here, we have to explain aunty that where are we going?)

S- Don't worry about that. Maine sab plan kar liya hai. Tum aunty ke paas jao. Main fresh hoke aata hoon.( I have planned everything.You go to aunty till then I'll go and freshen up.)

Anika nods and leaves the room. She went downstairs and saw aunty arranging breakfast on table.

Aunty saw Anika and smiles widely.

R- Arey, Anika beta. Aao. Breakfast ready hai. (Come Anika. Breakfast is ready.)

Anika smiles and went towards aunty. She hugged her tightly. Aunty was confused by her behavior but she hugs her back.

R- What happened child?

A- You are very sweet aunty. I love you.

Rose aunty smiles and caresses her hair.

R- I love you too child.

Anika breaks the hug and smiles.

R- now sit down and have breakfast.

Anika sits down on her place.

R- Shivaay kahan hai?(Where is Shivaay?)

A- woh...... (He....)

S- I am here aunty.

Rose aunty smiles.

R- Come. Son, sit and have breakfast.

While having breakfast, Anika signalled Shivaay to talk to aunty. Shivaay nods his head.

S- Aunty.

Rose aunty looks at Shivaay.

R- kya hua beta?(What happened son?)

S- Aunty, I and Anika have to leave today.

Aunty looks at them Shockingly.

R- Par kyu beta?

S- Woh actually mera dost Omkara ne Dalhousie aaya hai. Toh hum ab usi ke ghar mein rahenge.( Actually my friend Omkara has came to Dalhousie. So now we will live in House.)

Aunty gets sad and looks down.

Anika came near her and side hugs her.

A- Don't be sad aunty. Aap jab bhi humse milna chahengi, aap bas ek call kijiyega aur hum aa jayenge. (Whenever you want to meet us, just give us a call and we will be here in front of you.)

Rose aunty smiles widely and kissed her forehead.

R- Thank you for giving me love of a son and a daughter. I wish that my son and daughter-in-law was like you both.

Shivaay also went towards her and side hugged her.

Rose aunty hugged him back.

R- Stay blessed both of you.

She patted their head.

R- So when you have to leave?

S- We will leave after having breakfast.

Rose aunty nods her head and kissed their forehead.

They had their breakfast. Shivaay and Anika left from there.
