Veer did ritual following pandit's instructions, every year he will come back home to fulfil this duty of his. His gaze fell on his father who been in deep thinking.

Thinking back now his father never had done any of this ritual for his mother nor his grandparents.

"Pray to your mother beta." Pandit said, the ritual is almost finishing..

Veer folded his hand, closed his eyes. "Mom, I miss you.. But soon someone else going take the place that supposed to be yours only. I don't think I can accept some other woman as my mother. I.. I really wish were here with us.. So that dad will be ours only."

He opened his eyes, saw Khushi standing near Raghu and whispered something that seems to be really important.

Veer really don't like this woman who has latched on his father, taking all the benefits of being a Rathore.

Rathore nod at Khushi, starts to move ahead, after gesture them to follow.

Veer walks along Khushi, matching her pace. He then said in low tone. "Fake can never be the real."

Khushi snorted, "Why don't you talk a bit loud, afraid? Oh? I totally forgot that you are such a baby~"

Veer fumed, this woman have talent in mocking him.
