She takes her night dress and goes in washroom, while everyone looks on.., Arav comes and hugs Vansh...,

Arav: Dad u are ok na..,

Vansh doesn't reciprocates his hug...,

Vansh: I'm ok Arav...,

Arav backs off and looks at him emotionally as whenever Vansh never used to call Arav by his name, mostly he used to Call him Champ, Baby or Aru..,

Arav: Good Night.., (He leaves from their teary eyed..)

Prachi: Good Night Papa...,

Vansh: Hmmm...,

Pragya blushes and hugs Him...,

FLASHBACK ENDS....

Pragya: in this one month Vansh became lifeless, He often gets nightmares of Rhea in fire and Shlok blaming him, that day when he saw Rhea's Damaged face.., since then he went silent.., He speaks less, doesn't get out of his room much, neither attends his office.., I just hate this version of him, how should I get him back, I thought hearing about Rhea he will react, at least he could have scolded me but no, same expressionless face.., no emotion, no reaction..., (she wipes her tears) but I can't get weak, Vansh, Rhea, everyone need me, although I behave rude with them, but I love my Family a lot and that Shlok..., coz of him My Vansh is in this condition.., I won't leave him..,

She gets hell angry with a mere thought of Shlok, she washes her face and goes out...,

Pragya comes out and sees the lights off and Vansh sitting on his armchair in Balcony again..., She sighs and switches on the light..

Pragya(calmly): Vansh baby, its sleeping time.., plz come and sleep on bed.., sitting in balcony and looking at stars won't give you any benefit.., come sleep..,

Vansh: I'm not sleepy..,

Pragya: but I'm.., and u know well I don't get sleep without you..., so better come and lay on bed, stay awake if u want...,

Vansh: Pragya.., (Pragya shows her palm..)

Pragya: Vansh plz, I beg u.., it was a very hectic day for me.., don't trouble me more..,

She goes and holds his hand and takes him bed.., Vansh silently follows and lays on bed.., Pragya switches off the lights and kisses his cheek...,

Pragya: I Love you.., Good Night..,

She puts her head on his chest and closes his eyes but sleep was far away from both of them..,

While Vansh closes his eyes....
