The path of trust is the path of test. Arjun's trust on Avyudaya hadn't lost, but was loaded with many toughness. Arjun had accepted Avyudaya's truth. Instead of questioning her, he decided to earn her trust to that level where she would reveal her truth to him on her own.

Arjun and Avyudaya were behaving normal around each other. Arjun had become more caring towards Avyudaya. A few days passed like that.

One day Arjun saw the little girl whom he had assumed as Avyudaya's daughter was hugging her, and a couple was standing in front of the duo.

"Saloni! No need to fear. None is gonna scold you. None is gonna punish you. Everyone loves Saloni," Avyudaya caressed the scared little girl who had hugged her by waist.

"You shouldn't do that. Children do mistake, but raising hand at them makes the matter worse," Avyudaya shifted her gaze from Saloni to her mother, Nandini.

"I am really sorry. I have realised my mistake, and I won't repeat it," Nandini lowered her eyes in guilt.

"We both are at fault, equally. I remained busy with my profession, and she started to keep herself busy in her passion of learning new skills from social media. We couldn't give time to Saloni. We have been failed as parents," Saloni's father Somesh was also in guilt.

"It's never too late to rectify as realisation comes at right time always. I am sure that you both will be good parents," Avyudaya cheered the guilt captured souls.

"We fight mostly ignoring Saloni's presence. Last night she broke my phone by mistake, and I raised hand on her. At that time she didn't take mine or her papa's name out of fear. She had taken your name. At that moment, we realise how far we had gone from our daughter," Nandini narrated the incident which made her and husband come to meet Avyudaya.

"Emotional distance comes in married life, but the way to eradicate that is filling ecstasy into the gap, taking out enough time for each other. Problems are like diseases where precaution is better than cure," Avyudaya smiled hoping to be reciprocated with the same.

"We will follow your advice. Thanks for making us meet a great realisation of our lives," Somesh smiled followed by Nandini.

"From now on, we will give time to Saloni. We will play with her, will take her out, and will spend a lot of time with her," Nandini pulled Saloni towards her, affectionately.

The trios were standing near each other in the way a loving family should be captured in frame.

"Thank you, Aunty. You brought my parents back to me," It was Saloni's turn to smile.

"Always listen your parents, and do obey them too. I know that you will be the best girl of your kind," with a gentle caress on Saloni's cheek, Avyudaya bade farewell the trios who walked away from there, happily.

Arjun was waiting for the chance of talking to Avyudaya standing at a distance. He had heard everything, and he was shocked once again.

"Subhi, she isn't your daughter, but I had heard her calling you mummy!" this question was needed to answered which had created the misconception in his mind.

"She was practicing a play with me which she had prepared for her annual day at school," Avyudaya replied.

"I am sorry for carrying this misconception away this far," He was uncertain whether his apology would be accepted or not after noticing her sad look.

"I didn't mind it, Arjun. I am disappointed due to your silent acceptance. You could have asked me about all these, right?" Her expression was a mixture of complain and sadness.

"I didn't want to hurt you," his voice slowed down.

"It had already happened, Arjun. You had accepted me what I was not. You had portrayed my character under a bad light in your eyes. Thanks to Piya who had told me about your thoughts, or else I would haven't sensed anything," when she mentioned Piya he became surprised. He wondered how piya came to know everything, but he couldn't think much about that at that moment.

"Subhi! Please listen to me once," he hurried up when he saw her leaving the place.

"No need to come after me to show any kind of sympathy. In these days you had shown enough of sympathy to me. Don't come to me ever," scolding him in a chocked tone, she went away.
