The girls were gathered at living area, doing their work. Siya and Manvi were discussing something busy in their laptop.
MANVI- this is the overall outline didi.. aur ise bhi add kar dete hai..
Siya nods in agreement at her. She hold her head closing her eyes when they heard Urmila and shruti's giggle.
SHRUTI- and this was the best...
Said Shruti and both of them started laughing covering their mouth.
SIYA- Urmila... Shruti.. what's there.?
Siya called out their names and they look at her.
URMILA- dii.. wo.. Bali ke pics dekh rahe the..
Said Urmila smiling while Siya gave a look at her.
SIYA- is it a time to do that.?
Siya scolded them while Urmila pouts putting her phone back on table.
MANVI- kya tum log bhi..? Till evening we have to send these documents to tauji..Yaha dii is not well, and you people are doing timepass..
Manvi nods in disbelief. Shruti moves towards Siya.
SHRUTI- dii... Sorry.. you go and have rest. We will look into these things..
Said Shruti taking the laptop from Siya while siya smile at her .
SIYA- it's ok. I'm fine..
URMILA- no you are not dii..
Urmila too moves towards her and holds Siya's hand making her to stand.
URMILA- dii Shruti is right. You go and have some rest. Tab tak hum ye karte hai na..
Siya thinks for a while and looks at the clock for the time.
SIYA- theek hai.. I will rest for sometime. But then.. wake me up within 1 hour. Jyada der tak sone mat dena please..
Said Siya requesting the girls while all of them nods at her.
MANVI- ha dii. Pehele aap jao to.. hum utha denge aapko..
Siya nods at her and leaves from there in her room.
URMILA- so.. Manvi dii.. tell us the progress..
Manvi nods and started guiding them about the work. Kranti looks at them as she was about to go in kitchen.
KRANTI- ye log... Kya kar rahe he..?
She looks confused and moves towards them.
KRANTI- Manvi... Urmila.. Shruti.. what you people are doing.?
The girls looks at her as Kranti called their names.
URMILA- maa wo.. office ka kam tha kuch..
Answered Urmila while Kranti nods her head. She looks around to find Siya.
KRANTI- where is siya.?
SHRUTI- dii is in her room.
Answered Shruti making Kranti to look surprise.
KRANTI- why.? Office ka kam bas tum tino ko hai kya.? She doesn't have any work.?
Kranti looks furious while the girls looks at each other in surprise. Kranti observed their reaction and then gulped nodding in disbelief.
KRANTI- I meant.. that... Ghar ke baki kam bhi hai.. though there are workers but you can't ignore the household work.
Said Kranti while Urmila gave a smile to her.
URMILA- yes maa.. we are not ignoring the household work. But ye kam thoda urgent tha. That's why we are busy in this.
SHRUTI- and maa.. siya didi kuch der pehele tak yahi thi. But she is not well that's why we asked her to rest.
Kranti nods lightly listening at their side of story. Manvi looks at her reaction but which seems to be not satisfied.
KRANTI- aisa bhi kya hogaya hai use.? She is unwell from last almost one week.. why don't she visit a doctor.?
Said Kranti in disbelief while the girls didn't said anything. Kranti thinks about Siya and nods in disbelief while Manvi observed her.
KRANTI- khair.. where is Sumitra.? Ab tum tino office ke kamo me lagi hui ho then I and Sumitra have to take charge of the kitchen.
Urmila gets up from her place and moves towards Kranti holding her hand.
URMILA- maa please don't get angry. Ye bas thodi der ka kam hai. Once it gets complete, we will directly go in kitchen. Pakka..
Kranti nods her head lightly and leaves from there. Urmila turns to face Shruti who nods her head.
SHRUTI- dii.. without any timepass, let's complete this work fast..
Urmila nods in agreement moving back at her place. Her eyes falls on Manvi who was thinking something.
URMILA- Manvi dii..
Urmila calls her name but she didn't listened at her. She patted manvi's hand to bring her concentration back.
MANVI- huh.?
URMILA- what are you thinking.?
Asked Urmila while Manvi looks at both of them.
MANVI- mujhe na.. maa ka behavior kuch pasand nahi araha hai..
Said Manvi while urmila's eyes goes wide in shock and Shruti looks around to check if anyone has heard manvi's words.
URMILA- dii.? What are you saying.?
MANVI- it's true Urmila.. jabse hum log Bali se aye hai, tabse I'm observing. Adhe se jyada time to maa gusse me hi rehti hai.
Said Manvi while Urmila and Shruti looks at each other.
MANVI- just now what happened look.. we arr doing our work, siya dii is resting.. so what was there to get angry on.?
Shruti nods her head in agreement while Urmila sighed nodding in disbelief.
URMILA- dii.. you know how maa is.. I'm not denying her behaviour but.. isn't it natural.? I mean.. wo to aisi hi hai na..
Said Urmila giving an obvious look while Shruti thinks about her words.
SHRUTI- yes Manvi dii. This I agree. Maa ka to aisa hi hai na. But agar yahi choti maa hoti na then she would have taken the other way. I mean.. wo to kitni cool hai, kuch kehti bhi nahi hai hume..
Urmila nods in agreement and then looks at Manvi who was still looking unsatisfied.
URMILA- Manvi dii you are thinking too much. Aisa kuch hua bhi to nahi hai ki maa hum par gussa kare. May be she is upset with papa. But then it's their matter, we should not think and talk about their thing..
Manvi nods lightly at them.
SHRUTI- now let's complete this first. Before dii gets up, we have to complete with this..
Urmila nods takes the laptop in her hand. Both Shruti and Urmila got back to the work while Manvi still was busy thinking about kranti's sudden change of behaviour.

At night, the boys returned back from the office and Sumitra and Siya welcomes them, who were sitting at the couch.
SUMITRA- welcome back guys...
The boys smile at her and had a seat beside them. Ram sit near Siya and checks for her temperature.
RAM- how are you feeling now.?
Siya smile at him nodding her head while everyone watches them. Lakshman and Shatrughan looks at each other with a smirk while Bharat smile at them.

Sumitra cleared her throat interrupting them.
LAKSHMAN- bhabhi.. I think from tomorrow you also come with us in office..

Ram shuts them up while she stops their laugh.
BHARAT- bhabhi.. seriously speaking.. aap doctor ko kyu nahi visit kar rahi hai.? Though you are saying that you are fine, but then I think you should consult them once..
Said Bharat while Siya rolls her eyes in disbelief.
SUMITRA- Ram.. why don't you tell her.
RAM- choti maa me to bol bolke thak gaya hu. But Siya doesn't listen to me.
Said Ram nodding in disbelief while Sumitra gave a look at her.
SIYA- kya aap sab log mere piche pade hai.? Mujhe sachme doctor ki zarurat nahi hai choti maa..
Said Siya while Ram looks at the boys in disbelief.
MANVI- dii... I think you should tell them the truth. Tabhi ye sab aapko bolna band kar denge..
Said Manvi moving towards them. Urmila and Shruti were too with her carrying the tray having tea and snacks.
BHARAT- truth.? What truth.?
Asked Bharat in confusion while Siya widened her eyes at Manvi.
URMILA- yahi bhaiya.. ki.. dii ko injection se darr lagta hai..
Said Urmila teasing Siya who closed her eyes in embarrassment. Everyone looks at Siya in shock and at the other moment started laughing. Ram giggle pressing his smile.
LAKSHMAN- are you serious.? Bhabhi..?
SHATRUGHAN- duniya me aisi koi chiz hai jisse bhabhi ko darr lagta hain?
Said Shatrughan and then again started laughing while Siya nods her head in disbelief.
RAM- areh.. so what.? Everybody is afraid of one or the other thing..
Said Ram taking Siya's side while Sumitra nods in agreement.
SUMITRA- bilkul correct.. you are also afraid of dogs.. aren't you.?
Shruti looks in surprise at Shatrughan.
SHRUTI- really cookie.? You didn't tell me.?
SHATRUGHAN- to isme batane wali konsi bat hai Shruti.?
Asked Shatrughan having a biscuit from the plate while urmila giggle at them.
URMILA- Shatrughan.. Shruti isliye bol rahi hai kyuki use puppies bohot ache lagte hai..
Said Urmila pulling shruti's cheek while Shatrughan's eyes grew wide.
MANVI- by the way. Jiju is right. Everyone is afraid of some or the other thing. Hum beheno me bhi, jaise dii is afraid of injection, Shruti is afraid of darkness, Urmila is afraid of height.. and I am afraid of..??
Manvi looks at Bharat and gave him a questioning look so that he could complete her sentence.
BHARAT- reptiles.. specially lizards.. I know that..
Said Bharat while Manvi gave a impressive look at him.
SUMITRA- acha ? In charo ko bhi kisi na kisi chiz se darr lagta hai.. as I told you all Shatrughan is afraid of dogs.. bharat is afraid of living alone..
The girls gave a confused look at Bharat.
URMILA- living alone.? Ye konsa darr hota hai..?
Asked Urmila while Sumitra smile at her.
SUMITRA- mere Bharat ko uske aas pas sab log chahiye. Specially his Ram bhaiya.. warna wo akele rehne se darta hai..
Said Sumitra looking at Bharat and Ram while the girls smile at them.
SHRUTI- aww.. so sweet..
Ram too smile at them nodding in agreement.
LAKSHMAN- ha.. bas me hi hu jisko kisise darr nahi lagta..
Said Lakshman in an attitude while Urmila gave a look at him.
SHATRUGHAN- what.? Why are you lying bhaiya.? Aap to bhabs se darte hai na..
Everyone started laughing by Shatrughan's words while Lakshman bite his tongue in embarrassment and Urmila giggle at him. Kranti moves towards them interrupting their talk.
KRANTI- areh.? Agaye tum log.? Where is your papa.?
Asked Kranti looking around as she could not find Dashrath.
LAKSHMAN- maa he will come in sometime. He is busy discussing few things with Sumant ji..
Kranti nods listening to him.
SUMITRA- siya.. jokes apart.. I think you should visit the doctor tomorrow. Chahe to me tumhare sath chalti hu..
Said Sumitra while Siya looks at Ram. He nods his head in yes requesting her to go. Siya was about to speak when Kranti interrupts.
KRANTI- yes Siya.. you please go and visit the doctor. Itne din se tum bimar ho. You are not able to do household work neither your office work. Sabkuch in tino ko karna padta hai..
Said Kranti nodding in disbelief. Siya and Ram looks at each other and then at Kranti. Everyone didn't bothered or understood kranti's taunt except Manvi. She looks at Kranti and then at Siya. She was about to speak when Siya indicates her to keep quiet.
SIYA- I am sorry for that maa..but.. I will surely visit the doctor tomorrow..
Kranti nods her head saying nothing.
SUMITRA- come on now. You all get fresh.. tab tak bhaisahab bhi ajayenge then we will head for dinner..
Said Sumitra and the boys nods. They headed towards their respective rooms while Kranti looks at Ram and Siya going towards their room...

Said Kranti when Shruti interrupts her.
SHRUTI- maa.. pehele me dii ke liye kuch bana du.? She has to take her medicines. And if you want it now then I will ask one of the workers to prepare it..
