Maithili opens the main door with her keys. She silently moves inside as she was sure everyone has gone to sleep. She looks at the guest room whose door was closed. She smiles thinking that ram must have gone to sleep. She keeps her handbag on sofa and moves in kitchen. She puts the lights on and went near table to fetch a glass of water. She took the empty glass and was about to pour the water from jug when she felt something. A cool breeze brushes her face and she knows whose presence it indicates. She turns around to witness Abhiram who was standing with his hands at his back.

He was smiling lightly at her while she stood without any expression, just staring him. He moves towards her which makes her heart beats little fast. He stood in front of her and takes the empty glass from her hand without breaking the eye lock. He leans little and she got scared with his closeness. This was the first time they were this much close.

He took the jug and pour the water in glass still staring into her eyes. While she kept on looking at his deep intense eyes. He indicate her to drink water. She broke the eye lock and looks down smiling shyly. She took the glass from him and their fingers touched. She drank the water while he was still staring her. She looks at him

MAITHILI - aap soye nahi?

She asked the silly question. She knows he's standing in front and still asking that he isn't sleeping. He widened his smile

ABHIRAM- the day I came to know about my stay here, I was excited to meet you. Aur aaj jab hum milne wale the to me bina mile kaise so sakta hu... Hmm...??

He asked raising his one eyebrow. She smiles and turns around to keep the glass on pavement. He puts his hands at back and lean a little towards her coming near her back.

ABHIRAM- aap fresh hojayiye .. dinner is ready

She looks at her side and found him near her. They both look at each other again. She goes near the wash basin to wash her hands while he moves towards the dinning area. She enters there and he indicated her to sit.

MAITHILI - aap ne khaya?

ABHIRAM- meri maa ne garam garam khana banaya tha mere liye.. how could I resist?

His words makes her smile. She sit and he himself have a sit beside her. He indicate her to eat. She took the first bite and had it not looking at him. While he was looking at her smiling lightly.

MAITHILI - ghar par sab kaise he?

ABHIRAM- apni bahu ka wait kar rahe he..

She smile at him. She continued her dinner. He serves her the roti and sabji as she needed which makes her go in aww for him.

MAITHILI - you don't need to do it...

She suggested him that she can herself take the food. Abhiram don't answer her and continued serving the food.

ABHIRAM- aap ko ek bat puchu?

She nods in yes giving him permission.

ABHIRAM- apne jane se pehle mujhe call ya message kyu nahi kiya?

She continued having her food while he waited for her to speak

MAITHILI - letters makes feel more special... Aren't they?

He smiled looking at her way of showing love. She looks down and continue having her food. They were silent enjoying the presence of each other...

Next morning Rudraansh was moving downstairs getting ready and folding his shirts sleeves when he felt a pull. Ishanvi pulls him near a pillar. He looks at her first for a moment and then at her hand which was holding his. She too looks at the hands and immediately left the hold.

ISHANVI - aap gussa he mujhse?

Rudraansh gets surprise by her question

RUDRAANSH - kyu? Have you done anything like that which made me angry?

He asked with a smirk.

ISHANVI - fir kal se... Aap mujhe dekhkar ye ajib ajib expression kyu de rahe he...

Asked Ishanvi faking anger while Rudraansh folds his arms to his chest

RUDRAANSH - you only have that answer...

He said and started walking from there only to stop by Ishanvi again

ISHANVI - you're ignoring me...

RUDRAANSH - me aapko? Ya aap mujhe??

Asked Rudraansh without looking at her. He giggle lightly and left from there while she followed him. Rudraansh  enters in hall where Ram was waiting for him to leave for their site.

ABHIRAM- where were you Rudraansh.?

RUDRAANSH - sorry bhaiya. Wo ek billi ne rasta rok liya. He said looking at Ishanvi while she looks shocked.

MAITHILI - billi??

All three looks at the direction from where Maithili enters.. she hands the lunch box to Rudraansh..

MAITHILI - ghar me billi? Kya matlab?

She asked while Rudraansh looks at Ishanvi and she slightly nodded in no

RUDRAANSH - kuch nahi bhabhi.. bas aise hi...

Maithili smile at him. Her eyes falls on Ishanvi

MAITHILI - tumhe kya hua?

Ishanvi looks at Maithili and search to give answer

ISHANVI - didi... Store room me ek chuha ghus aya he...

She said looking at Rudraansh . He smirk at her. Maithili looks at Abhiram who was looking at her already. They both speak with their eyes taking adieu. Abhiram and Rudraansh  leave from there..

MAITHILI - Ishanvi .. what were you saying? Chuha?

Ishanvi looks here and there for the answer.

ISHANVI - kuch nahi didi.. wo chuha chala gaya...

She smiles and left from there. Maithili looks at her confused and nodded in disbelief.

Nidhi nods and her eyes falls on Ishanvi who was sitting in front of them busy in her deep thoughts.

NIDHI - Isha .... Ye list lo....aur caterers ko confirmation de do...

She instructed but Ishanvi didn't reacted anyway.

NIDHI- Isha ...???She again called her but all in vain.

Sudha looks at Ishanvi that what is she busy thinking. Suddenly someone click her fingers infront of Ishanvi making her thoughts break. Ishanvi looks at the direction and finds Sanjna staring her

SANJNA - what happened? Maa kabse bula rahi he tumhe... Dhyan kaha he tera?

Asked Sanjna getting suspected. Ishanvi looks at both the ladies and found them starting her.

ISHANVI  - kya hua chachi?

Nidhi gives the list...

NIDHI - confirm the caterers
