The night had passed...

It was the next day morning....

Arohi had a very disturbed sleep, she woke up and she remembered the first ru had slept the prev night without eating....

She freshened herself and went to kitchen to find something but since noone was home all fruits had got stale....

She went to her room and took her purse and just then she heard abhinav mumble ..

Agar main anadh na hota if I was rich man would you think akshara would have left me or insulted me this much?? He cried...

From his it was clear that he was so tired and weary of things around him...

Arohi tip toed and went out to get some groceries for she knew without her yelling ru wouldn't wake up..

In bira mansion...

The birlas were all decked up and manjari was ordering the helps in the kitchen...

Akshara slowly walked in all decked up like a nayi dulhan and reached the kitchen...

Aree you are here my baccha wo I have arranged everything for you to make kheer just make that alone and complete your pehli rasoi ... Manjari said all smiling through her teeth...

Everyone one left and Akshara was left alone in the kitchen to make her kheer ..

Akshara did come into kitchen smiling but now that she was there alone again she was in her thoughts..

Did she choose wise?? Abhir indeed is happy here ?? And what else matters her family was complete here what else is she worried about...

After good half an hour she came out to the dining room and came with kheer in her hand..

All of the birlas was waiting on the table with the rest of food...

Wow mumma yeha ate hi kheer you know she used to make only bread jam there and how bored I was eating it abhir said and all of them laughed....

She served them in a separate bowl fo each one and they started to taste...

Abhi ate it first and realised she had put salt instead of sugar he fakely smiled and instructed others thru eyes to do the same even abhir did the same....

Why are you guys saying anything?? Akshara said and tasted from her cup....

She then realised how In her tug of thoughts in her mind she added salt to kheer without knowing....

Akshu don't worry you made the kheer that's what matters .... I will eat any time and make others also eat... Abhi whole others proudly smiled...

Aww Dada aap mama se itna pyaar karte Hain   abhir asked and abhi blushed...

Akshara too fake smiled and abhi noticed and he slightly got irritated but he made sure nobody noticed it..

Back to kasauli...

Arohi decided to make ru s favorites breakfast and lunch so she got the groceries and entered the house...

It was when she entered , abhinav noticed her that she had gone outside....
He was that lost and heart broken....

Abhinav immediately stood and was about to explain arohi spoke...

Ru had not eaten anything so I got some groceries...aa...she stammered... Aap bhi fresh hokar ayiye... She said and headed to kitchen straight up...

She set the kitchen and woke up ru and got her ready in the hall ..abhinav too slowly inched to the room and got ready slowly...

She made ru sit on the table and reluctantly abhinav too sat on the table...

Arohi came with milk and bowl of her favourite cereals and fruits and served both of them and one for her too..

It's Ru's favourite na come on let's eat let's see who finishes first arohi said making an attempt to cheer her ru...

But the child was too naive and broken to take the betrayal....she didn't respond...

Abhinav saw ru if he was that hurt that he could not put them in words he wondered how hurt this child may be....

Arohi was getting worried all her life she wished ru was quiet and well behaved but now that she is quiet it disheartened her....

Abhinav sighed... Waise tasty toh hai he said I think I will finish mine and Ru's too he chuckled but there was noesponse from ru ...

Arohi wiped her tears she howd abhinav wouldn't notice but it has always been a speciality of him to notice small small things....he did notice...

Matashree a voice so unknown and feeble to arohi came...

Arohi immediately knelt beside her...

Bachha whatever you want to tell you can tell us she said....

Abhinav stood up and knelt beside her in the other side ...

Aapko patha hai kal Puri raath main aur apki mumma ne kya kiya.... Full night roya humne patha hai.... Abhinav said...

So bade log bhi lothe hai?? Ru asked all intrigued...

Abhinav gently stroked er hair...

Jab dard hota hai na sab rote hai beta    he said and gently ruffled her hairs...

By this time ru had tears in her eyes...she turned and looked at arohi...

Matashree I was a good girl na fir kyon poppy Aisa Kiya....main unki beti nahi hoon isliye?? Arohi wrapped her in a side hug ....

Sometimes na in life you don't know why it happens at know fault of yours you will get hurt ru ...par uss samay you should not be blaming urself ru you should bevome more strong so that next if something similar happens you won't be hurt...arohi said ...while saying this for a moment her eyes met abhinavs as if saying to him also....

She gently broke the hug with her ru...

Promise me baccha you will not blame yourself and you will make yourself strong.... Arohi asked...

Ru wiped her tears... Par Kurt toh hum teeno haina mein akele promise kyun karoon....??

Vo hurt hota hai ru... Arohi said smiling through her tears...

Waahi waahi matashree par ab bolo na ru persisted ...

Arohi smiled and forwarded her hand abhinav kept he hand aru nodded and signalled ru. To keep her hand...she too kept and the three said promise.....

Ru took her and abhinav too immediately took his hand ....

Arohi bit her lips it was a bit awkward indeed but they laughed and let it go...

Chalo ruhi beta kathein hain... Abhinav was about to get up...but ru held his shoulders...

Ab kya I have to call you papaji..like abhir did ...par I used to call you maasaji....par??

Abhinav gently kissed her forehead...beta apko Jo bolna hai bolo main apko kisi bhi cheez ke liye force nahi karunga... He said...

Ru thought for a while main apko... She thought .... Mujhe butterflies pasand hai toh... Can I call you butter fly ?? Ru asked ..

What's this name ru how can you... Abhinav stopped arohi and flapped his hands like wings and jumped a little.....teek hai ji Aaj se main apka butterfly aur aap meri guldasta...

Buldasta kya hota hota hai ru asked...

Vo guldasta hai ru abhinav and arohi said simultaneously...

Guldasta meas flower ru....arohi said smiling...

Aur appko patha hai lily Mera favourite flower hai so app Aaj se lily ho meri
... He said...

And all three smiled ....

And they say on the table to munch on their cereal...

Sorryji you had to go it's a new area I should have helped... Arohi stopped no issues she said they continued to eat ...

Neelama who brought some lunch saw them standing afar though a bland one arohi had her pehli rasoi too...

They were walking together without their knowledge neelamma thought and left the place and they had the breakfast...

All four had their breakfast one bland yet at in comfort other ate kheer that was salty with lot of commotion in their mind is this just a phase or a hint of what is yet to come in their life??
