“Tujhe aqal hai? Toone aise aadmi kesaath agreement banaya”

“Aaapne unse paise kyon liye, aapmein bhi nahi hai aqal”

“MERI to family hai tujhe kya huahai?”

“I did my best to save Papa’s store”

“Save nahi bolte usko… KABZA boltehain”

“I have not stolen anything”

“You have kept the books locked”

“YES they belong to Ma”

“MA mujhe dena chahti hai”

Her heart broke in a massive thud.How could Nidhi do this to Rajesh?

“Nahi, Ma is ashamed of the way youare begging my in-laws for money” Taaruni blurted

“Who log kaise tere in laws hue? Younever married the man for real”

“I DID” she said calmly but with ashaky voice

There was a long pause

She would never admit it to Pradyut,but she had to say it out loud to find peace.

She cringed when she realized whatPia would say

“I really don’t want anything fromPapa Bhai. I want the store back in the same location, believe it or not. It’sa much better area. The building is being remodeled the foot traffic is waymore sophisticated”

“MUJHE ye sab kyu keh rahi hai?”

“BECAUSE”

“Kya?”

“I want you to know what all hasgone down in the last 10 months”

“Mujhe koi faraq nahi padta, Papa togaye, I LOVED him” Gaurav broke down

“Jaanti hu” they both sobbed

“Uska to set hai yaar” “Bhabhi ameerhai” “Meri job chali gayi” he was angry

“Tushar Bhai ???…………….. TusharBhai didnt make you lose it na?"

"Usne mujhe kaha hai I am not allowed inhis house any more"

Taaruni was shocked

She did not know

"WHY?"

"Bada aadmi hai"

"No tell me"

"I DONT know"

"Bha.."

"MA ek insan hai jo meri parwah kartihai"

"No I do too"

"Tu to Tushar se bhi battar hai, tujheameer aadmi chahiye, Papa ki dukaan, Papa ke books"

"NO I dont" "I put all MY ownmoney into making the Zenith Astro store functional, ek se 3 warehouses meinbhar bhar ke stationery order ki, I invested in inventory Software, SunilDeepak ko hire kia, nayi ek aur employee hai,

"WHO is paying for all this?"

"ME"

"You are getting unlimited money fromMunjals"

"NO" "I even paid himrent"

"Tujhe sharam nahi aayi? U stayed withhim and paid him for comforts?"

She realized how her brother wasperceiving her"

"Thats me.... I guess" she wastearful

"MUJHE lecture mat de, samjhi" “Tudekhti ja ye log tere saath kya bartaav karte hai”

“Uski sister hai na? She is pure evil” “Baadmein mat bol, maine tujhe warning nahi di. Jisa admi ke saath tu rehti hai, he doesn’tcare. He will give up on u when u most need him”

She made chai crying and called Pradyut

Harold wandered sadly behind her, hoping forher glucose biscuit crumbs

She chuckled and sniffled

“Tum kitna khaoge ek din mein?”

He scowled

“Sorry not fast shaming…. Mujhe dekhke hasrahe ho? I have a BABY inside, whats your excuse? YOU are a baby yourself” shecrouched and argued

He licked her face madly, she sat on the floorby the living room window and called him

“Your dog called me fat”

“Hes my dog now?” Pradyut laughed

“I don’t want to take everything…. I am givingyou the dog” she laughed chewing

“What are u snacking?” his voice was soft lowand lazy

“Parle Gluco… chahiye?”

Loong pause

“Sure”

“JUST biscuit” she said quivering

He returned at the end of the day, of course. Spent 20minutes playing with Harold

He pulled her closer and inhaled her hair andgroaned

“What be happening?”

“Kuch nahi, I am home and doing nothing” shesmiled letting herself relax

“Oh nice” he growled

“Aur tum”

“Home”

“Are we doing something about the dog”

He laughed

“He said I was fat”

He felt her bulge and waited for the kick

Came in multiples

Happy Diwali 🪔 everyone.

The child too seems to be in Pradyut’s Team 😂.

Let’s see how Taara takes this forward.

Very difficult situation to be in.

She is with Pradyut but long way to go before she can feel home.

Happy Diwali everyone. Hope everyone has a good one.

How does Gaurav claim this family as his own while berating her for getting into this mess? The self serving moron.

It doesn't matter who has what amount of money. All 3 children should have equal rights. Gaurav should not be handed over everything just because he lost his job.

Happy Diwali to all✨✨

A very happy Diwali 🪔 to all
