He smiled and complimented her "You always complains about things but will complete the work any how and in time. That's my girl" and she said with a blushed face "Stop being so cheesy".

The next morning after breakfast Abhi was in his room.He was preparing his lines for that day's shoot.

His mother came inside his room and sat beisde him on the couch. He looked at her and placed the papers on the side table.

She asked him "So is that from earlier girl your girlfriend ?" and Abhi nodded his head. She asked "I heard she is the same woman whom you have been looking for all this time ?" and he nodded his head again.

She asked him "Where is she now ?" and he answered non chalantly "In Dehradun, went to attend a wedding ceremony".

It's evident from his expressions that he isn't i interested in the conversation but she ignored his indiffference and asked curiously "Whose ?" and he replied with a helpless sigh "Naveen, my bodyguard's". She asked after a minute if thought "Isn't it after a fortnight, I saw the invitation ?" and he nodded again.

Before she could ask him anymore questions he said taking back the papers from the table "Mom, I am busy. I need to go through this script before lunch."

She looked at him and understood that he isn't interested to talk about that issue anymore and is genuinely busy, so she gave him a displeased look and said in a strict manner "Okay I will go now but we need to talk about this later and I hope you won't avoid it like now". Saying so she left his room and he looked at her retreating back with a complicated face.

When Santhoshi was with Manvi she asked "How did they meet ? I mean Shriya and Abhi". Manvi looked at her aunt and after a moment of hesitation she said "In an accident, bhai's driver hit her and that's how they met".

She asked "What's her relationship with Naveen ? I mean why did she go to his wedding that to before fifteen days ?"

Manvi said as a matter of factly "That's because Naveen is her late brother's bestfriend."

Santhoshi asked "Don't you think that accident is a set up made by her and Naveen to get close to Abhi ?"

Manvi looked at her with confusion and the latter said "They both knew each other and Naveen knew that Abhi was searching for her, so he must have faked an accident situation. "

Manvi didn't know what to say. Just then they heard Gouthami "Mom, I heard Naveen was in US with grandpa at that time."

Santhoshi asked Gouthami who just walked inside with her husband following behind her "Now even you are supporting her ?" and Gouthami replied "No mom, I got the same doubt and asked Rahul about it. That's how I knew about it".

Rahul said "Mom, you shouldn't doubt Shriya. Moreover you shouldn't say such words about her. I am one hundred percent sure bhai will be pissed of if he found you badmouthing her".

The girls woke up late the next morning as they were tired. They had breakfast and Radha asked them to get some household things especially silverware needed for all kinds of puja.

They brought whatever is needed for them and they even did some street shopping and had some street food. Naveen accompanied them and they had fun time.

They wanted to go visit a famous temple but didn't as Preeti couldn't go because of her personal problem.

They decided to go later. Brahmini called them and spoke with them. That evening two people came home when these four were busy playing chess.

They are husband and wife who are in their late fifties or in their early sixties. They all stood up seeing the guests.

Naveen called out "Mom, Malika aunty and Prasad uncle is here". He asked them to sit while these three girls went inside their room after greeting them. Radha walked into the living room with a wide smile and Naveen greeted them. "Hello aunty uncle, how are you ?" and they smiled.

The woman named Malika handed Radha a packed box saying "These are the sweets which he likes the most". Radha said "He don't eat sweets now, did you forget?"

Prasad said "It has become a habit. We can't help it?" Naveen said "Thank you aunty and I am sorry".

Prasad said to Naveen "When I heard you are getting married, I felt happy". Malika nodded her head and said "Though it's not the same and our shona isn't the bride, but still....." She choked on her words and her eyes became moist and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Shriya and Sony could hear all that from inside the room. They understood who they were and guessed as pravalika's parents, but wanted to confirm it.

Radha sat beside the woman "I am sorry for your loss Malika." and her friend shook her head saying "Why are you sorry ? Everything started from our shona's death. Even you lost somthing precious to you and we are all aware of that".

Naveen stood beside them silently with his back against the wall. Preeti peeked out into the room and Prasad asked "Who is that girl ?"
