Jayesh came to Kangra Valley.

"How am I going to face her directly?" He thought.

First he took a room in a nearby hotel and refreshed himself.

Then he went to the tea estate.

Ashwin said that Shashi would come to the estate office around 10.30 so he waited for her. 

He was standing far away from the office but he could clearly see the entrance area.

Around 10.40am a car entered the estate.

Jayesh saw Shashi getting out of the car.

He teared seeing her after three months.

Along with her he saw a man in his late 60s 

'He must be Alexander.' Jayesh thought.

After sometime he saw Shashi moving inside the estate and greeting the workers.

Jayesh went to the office.

"Excuse me Sir." Jayesh said.

"Come in Mr.Jayesh." Alexander said, making Jayesh startled.

Jayesh sat in front of him.

"So you're here to win Shashi back." Alexander asked directly and Jayesh's eye widened in shock.

"Jenith said that you will come but don't expect me to help you directly." Alexander said.

"Will you help me?" Jayesh asked in shock.

"Of Course..I want my sweety to be happy." Alexander said.

Jayesh smiled and thanked him.

Time skips..

Shashi was sitting in the lawn while sipping her tea lazily.

She heard footsteps sound behind her back. 

"Deva Shashini." She heard her name.

She stiffened not by the voice she stiffened because she heard her own name after years. 

Shashi turned her head and saw Jayesh was standing 10 metres away from her.

She was startled. Tears started to well up in her eyes.

He started to walk towards her. Shashini's breath started to become uneven. Her chest was heaving up and down.

"How are you Shashini?" He asked.

She gulped down. 

His eyes were filled with tears and he was trying hard not to break down. 

"I..I.. I'm fine." She said, gulping down her tears.

Jayesh wanted to take her in his embrace but he controlled himself.

"Sweety." Alexander came there.

Shashi took a deep breath and controlled herself.

"Pa." She said.

"Who's this Sweety?" Alexander asked, pointing towards Jayesh.

"This...This...he.." Shashini couldn't speak.

"I'm Jayesh." Jayesh introduced himself.

"Ohh.." Alexander said in an uninterested manner.

"Why are you here?" Alexander asked with slight anger.

"I.. I just came to give this to her." Jayesh said, forwarding the diary towards Shashi.

Shashini's eyes widened.
