In Vihaan's House 🏡 :

It is evening time and Nishi was watering the plants when someone asks her, "How are you doing?"

She knew who it is and says, "You know, then why are you asking?"

"I didn't tell anything except what they needed to know for the sake of your health and I think, I have this much right on you atleast?" Nishant asks more than taunting.

Nishi looks at him guiltily and says sighing, "I'm sorry. I know you are worried for me but I hope you know that it's not easy for me either. I can't just start blabbering."

"I know, Nish and that's why I'm not forcing you for anything. I trust you but I want you to trust yourself and your family, at least your brothers!" The doctor says expectantly.

She looks away making him sigh and says, "I need time for that Nishant. And leave this all aside, where were you these weeks when I was looking for you?"

He smiles at his old Nish he met an year ago and says, "You know already how much I'm afraid of that horrible anger of yours, don't you? So, I was trying to avoid you. But then I thought that how long I can save myself from my bestie's wrath?" He says with a sulky face making her laugh and he finally smiles punching her arm lightly.

"They all came?" He nods and they both go in together ones he turns off the tap.

"What were you doing?" Karuna asks just as Nishi comes in.

"खेती for your future generations." Shreya laughs at her words while Vihaan blushes earning giggles from his friends and glares at his sister who sits with Akriti and asks chirpily, "Where were you last week? You didn't come for the dinner."

[ Translation : खेती – Farming ]

"वो . . . .I. . .I. .I was busy with . . .Mom wanted me to go with her. . on shopping." Akriti says stuttering and gives her a small smile which falters as her gaze falls on Shivika who was staring at her. Akriti looks away.

[ Translation : "That . . . .I. . .I. .I was busy with . . .Mom wanted me to go with her. . on shopping." ]

"Shopping at night?! Who goes on shopping at night? I'm talking about dinner, young lady." Nishi says narrowing her eyes at the girl to which Gia blinks at her cousin.

"Mmm. . . Yeah! Mom always has fun shopping at night!" She says smiling nervously.

Nishi eyes her keenly making her squirm then asks raising an eyebrow at her, "When did you become so bad at lying? Where were you last week?" Vihaan and others look at the duo hearing her words. Akriti's eyes brim with tears. She looks down shutting her mouth, not knowing what to say or do.

Nishi just gets up and offers her a glass of water by sliding it towards her on the dinning table. But to everyone's surprise, out of the blue Akriti hugs Nishi tightly and starts crying. Nishi flinches at her sudden action and trembles a bit. Her heart starts hammering in her chest pretty badly. But then she takes deep breathes trying to control her trembling body as she feels uncomfortable but she lets her cry it all out while others realise that something is wrong. However, Gia looks away seeing her flinch at the hug. Nishi hugs Akriti after coming out of her awkwardness and caresses her back awkwardly while trying to console her. After a while, she calms down and Nikita again offers her the glass of water given by Nishi which she takes silently. Nishi feels odd not knowing how to console her and blinks at her confusedly as to what to do. Hugging always gets to her.
