Ishika and Naman tease each other when Naman scares her and Ishika shouts aloud. Naman gets scared and he apologises immediately. Anamika and Vineet rush down to look at her and Anamika scold him for scaring Ishika.

"Naman, you know that she is weak. Agar kuch ho jata usey toh? Doctor ne kaha hai ki usey khush rakhna hai, darana nahi hai. " she scolds him.

"I am sorry! Main toh usey sata raha tha. Main usey darana nahi chahta tha." Naman says while looking at Anamika.

"But she is scared. Naman, you know everything, fir bhi aisa kiya tumne!" Anamika scolds him further.

Of course, Anamika tended to take Ishika as her responsibility as the girl is not in the best of her health. Ishika is still breathing heavily. Anamika is stroking her head to calm her down. Naman looks at Ishika.

"I'm sorry, Ishika! I didn't mean to scare you. I am really sorry! I know I irritated you. Par abse aisa nahi hoga. " Naman apologises while looking at her.

"So, you agree that you irritated me! Really!" Ishika speaks slowly.

Naman looks at her and she winks at him, leaving him shocked. She looks at Vineet.

"Haha! So he irritated me! Dekha aapne, aapka dost hi mujhe satata hai. And he said sorry. Yay!" Ishika chuckles, at which Anamika and Vineet laugh out loud and Naman is shocked.

"Tum naatak kar rahi thi?" He asks.

"Of course! Tumhe kya laga sirf tum mujhe sataoge? Main bhi sata sakti hoon. Aur tumse sorry jo bulwana tha." Ishika winks at him.

"Bure fanse ho tum! Kaha tha pange mat lo." Vineet says while putting his hand around his shoulders.

"Oh yes! Mujhe nahi pata tha ki ye itni tez hai!" Naman says.

"Ab dimag mein fit karlo. Aur dobara mujhe sataya toh pit jaoge. It's a warning, Mr Naman." Ishika winks at him.

"Arey tum toh dhamki de rahi ho! This is not fair." Naman makes a face.

"Haha! Toh! Bhoot dhamki se nahi darte." Ishika says and throws a cushion at him.

Ishika hides behind Anamika while Naman gets on his toes to follow her, but his phone rings and the moment is broken. Naman attends the call and after a while, Vineet and Naman leave the house. Ishika closes the door and finds Anamika lost in her own thoughts. She thinks something and makes her way into the kitchen.

******
Twenty minutes later, Ishika enters the living room but Anamika isn't there. Ishika smiles to herself and makes her way into Anamika's room. The door is ajar, and Anamika is sitting on the bed. Ishika enters the room and places the tray on the side table. Anamika's trance is broken as Ishika sits beside her and hands her a mug of steaming coffee. Anamika is amused.

"Main jaanti hoon aap kisi baat ko leke pareshan ho. Main nahi puchhungi ki baat kya hai, lekin itna zaroor kahungi ki you're not alone. Main hoon na. Yun hi toh Di nahi kaha maine. I mean it. " Ishika says while looking at her intently.

"I know it. " Anamika says softly patting her cheeks.

"Toh mujhe batao baat kya hai? Tum mujhse toh sab puch leti ho par khud nahi batati. Batao kya hua hospital mein?" Ishika asks again.

Anamika looks at Ishika. The girl is talking so maturely. She understands her pain as well. She knows that something is bugging her(Anamika). And so she is here with her. Anamika finds Ishika holding her hands.

"Maine aapko apni badi behen samjha. Fir maine aapki care ko nazarandaaz bhi kiya. Aapne mujhe na jaante hue bhi meri itni care ki, mere tantrums jhele.lekin maine fir bhi aapko hurt kiya. I am sorry for that. Lekin ab main samjhi hun ki dil ke rishtey zyada khubsurat hote hain. Aapke silence ne mujhe bhi pareshan kar diya hai. Batao na aakhir baat kya hai?" Ishika asks her again.

Anamika just looks at her and then hugs her immediately. Ishika is perplexed but she hugs her back, tightening her grip around her(Anamika). Anamika's emotions go haywire and she breaks into tears while Ishika is shocked.

" Kya hua? Kyun ro rahi ho? Maine kuch galat kaha?" Ishika asks, assuming that she spoke anything wrong.

"No! Tumne bilkul thik kaha. Lekin yahan meri madad koi nahi kar sakta." Anamika says.

"Kyun nahi? Jeeju karenge tumhari madad! Aur agar wo nahi kar sakte toh main karungi. I promise. Pakka wala promise. Tum ro mat , please. " Ishika says innocently.

"Maine tumhe bahut pareshan kiya hua hai na! Lekin I promise abse aisa nahi hoga." Ishika continues to speak at which Anamika smiles.

"Lekin tum meri baat kyun maanogi?" Anamika asks.

"Kyunki.....kyunki agar aap na hoti toh main bhi na hoti. Us din mujhe hospital mein milne nahi aati toh main kahan jaati? Maine aapko hurt kiya fir bhi aapne mujhe yahan rehne diya, infact, badi behen ki tarah mera khayal bhi rakha. "Ishika says.

She holds Anamika's hands and keeps her hand in her head.

"Badi behen ka haath rakha na mere sar pe. Sirf naam hi same nahi hai, aap meri Di ke jaisi hi ho. Isliye toh maine Di kaha. Toh ab mera haq bhi toh banta hai na ki main aapki madad karun. Agar main kar sakti hoon, toh zaroor karungi. Kyunki jis tarah tum mujhe khush dekhna chahti ho, wahi main bhi chahti hoon, tumhare aur jeeju ke liye. I know he loves you a lot. Toh wo zaroor koi solution nikalenge." Ishika says and her eyes are teary.

Anamika looks at her, yeah, she has said the truth. They were unknown, but now it feels as if they are connected for ages.

"Lekin agar main kahoon ki solution mere pas hai. Lekin uske liye mujhe tumhari help chahiye, toh?" Anamika says.

"Really! Toh batao kya solution hai? I promised that I will help. " Ishika chuckles.

Anamika looks at her and suggests her solution, hearing which Ishika is left shocked.
