She spoke fishing something in her bag, soon she took out the keys of her flat , Raman saw her hands were still shivering ,noticing that he forwarded his hand for help and asked " may I".
She nodded and passed the key to him ,he took it and asked opening the lock " you live alone here ".

R- nothing like that ma ,I m good . you know new neighbors had come in next flat .
T- yeah ,some south Indian family has come ,I had talked to the lady yesterday but couldn't talk much as they were busy in shifting .
R- you know they had a daughter ishita ,who is pregnant .
T- may be I didn't talked much ,but how do you know .
R- I met her in lift just now .
T- ohh .
R- you know same was about to happen with her what happened with sweety (Raman's sister ).
T- thats why you are looking so tensed .
R- haan ma ,she was also about to fall on her tummy but I saved her ,wonder if someone had held my sweety also ,she couldn't had suffered miscarriage and this miserable life .
He spoke with tear filled eyes . They were about to talk some more but stopped noticing, sweety coming towards them . Raman saw her coming and spoke composing himself " sweety will you make ginger tea for me ,kitni achchi tu banati his ma cannot ".
Sweety smiled and went to make tea for all of them while mother and son sat there ,talking about the one of the unfortunate day of their life .
About a year ago ,sweety was six months pregnant and was coming to her parents house with her brother Raman . She was about to stay in bhalla house till her delivery as per the custom of delivery of first baby in parents house . Raman stopped the car in the society and sweety got down from the car ,he told her to go home ,till he will park the car and come with her luggage . Sweety nodded and went to lift ,she entered the lift and before Raman reaches the lift went upstairs and sweety was alone in the lift . it reached the fifth floor and when she was coming out from the lift her leg got stuck and she fell on the ground . She screamed aloud ,all came out listening to her scream and soon she was rushed to hospital where her miscarriage was announced as well as doctor told that she cannot bear child in future as her womb got hurt due to injury . Sweety was in worst condition but neighter her husband nor her in-laws ,non come to see and console her father they broke relationship with bhalla's and send divorce paper for her . Since then sweety was living with them.
Raman and Toshiji was in tears ,while Raman was cursing himself for not able to take care of his sister .
