Someone was pounding on the door, and Chandini awoke to the sound of pounding. With a groan, she raised her head and slightly opened her eyes, feeling the weight on her stomach. She glanced down, and Taara had her arms wrapped around her.

Chandini gently pushed her younger sister up from the bed. When she opened the door, she saw Samay.

"Why do you sleep like a dead person? I have been pounding on your door for the last ten minutes," her brother said, as Chandini let out a loud yawn.

"Get ready, Kapoor ladies are here with the little guy," he said, looking at Chandini from head to toe before shaking his head and leaving.

Her face puffed up, and her hair was a tangled mess. Chandini fully opened her eyes when Kapoor was mentioned.

"What is with this family, always showing up in the morning?" She grumbled as she went to get ready.

When she returned to her room after getting ready, she found Taara sleeping with her mouth open and drool running down her face on the bed. She woke Taara up and told her to get ready.

Chandini then went downstairs and saw Muktha, Suman (Rudra's mother), and Athwa, the little guy. He hugged her tightly, and she returned the hug with a kiss on the cheek. Then she met with everyone with her joined hands and greeted them.

"Sorry for arriving at this time. Today we have to go shopping for jewellery and clothes of your choice, which you will wear after the wedding ceremonies," Suman said with a smile. Chandini gave a slight nod.

"Can we leave Athwa here? Taara was missing him and wanted to play with him. Barkha, one of my friends, will be here to look after them. He will be fine," Chandini asked hesitantly.

Suman agreed, and Athwa was excited to play with Taara. Chandini texted Barkha to come to her house and look after both kids. They left the children in the care of Samay until Barkha arrived.

"Can we please get some coffee and something to eat?" Chandini spoke awkwardly in the car, her cheeks flushed.

Muktha laughed at her, and they decided to stop to get her coffee, and she settled for a sandwich. They spent the entire day shopping. Chandini felt eyes on her throughout the day, but when she turned or looked around, she could not find anyone.

They were returning to Chandini's to pick up Athwa. Chandini was in her thoughts; she was not feeling good about all the things they had bought. It was all very costly, and she didn't like it at all

When they arrived at her house, Taara, Athwa, and Barkha were running around with spatulas in their hands and chocolate smeared across their faces. They had stopped looking at the ladies.

Chandini dashed inside the kitchen as soon as she saw the scene. She hit her head against the wall, and the kitchen was a shambles, with chocolate, flour, sprinkles, and whatever else was everywhere.

"This would take forever to clean," she mumbled tiredly under her breath.

"Oh my God, Chandini, I am so sorry. We will help you clean," Suman said as she walked into the kitchen.

"No, no, it is okay; they are just kids having fun, except for her," Chandini said, glaring at Barkha and gently pushing Suman out of the kitchen.

Chandini said her goodbyes to Kapoor before entering the house and discovering Barkha and Taara still standing in the drawing room.

"Taara, this is really bad. Now go take a bath, and then I will call you for dinner." She scolded her strictly,then went inside the kitchen and called Barkha.
