Ishita shows Nandini her room.
Ishita:- in half an hour we will have dinner, so come and have dinner with us.

Nandini:- I am not hungry Aunty.

Ishita:- sternly in this house no one is allowed to skip meals so do come for dinner saying this she went out of the room.

Nandini changes her clothes and is void of any emotions.

Ishita:- goes to the playroom and call her kids near her.

Ranvi/ Veera:- kya hua Mumma ?

Ishita:- kuch nahi beta.

Ranvi:- Mumma woh Ladki kaun thi Mumma.

Ishita:- tum dono ki badi behen hai. Tum Hari papa ki pehli biwi ki beti.

Ranvi:- Mumma kya hum unse baat kar sakte.

Veera:- nahi hum unse baat nahi kar ga. (Veera is intelligent.)

Ishita:- Veera who are you to stop Ranvi from talking to her. Ranvi beta do as your heart says. But give respect to her.

Veera:- Mumma Ranvi Bhai is my brother so I have rite on him so I can tell him not to talk with her.

Ishita:- no you can't tell him. He is elder to you. He has a heart and mind of his own. You should not decide for him.

Veera:- ok Mumma.

Ishita:- now come let's have dinner.

Veera:- Mumma Aaj khane mein kya bana hai.

Ishita:- dal makhani aur Panner butter Masala.

Veera:- why today you made his favoul

Ranvi:- favourite.

Ishita:- it is because Ranvi always listens to his Mumma.

Veera:- not fair Mumma.

Ishita:- today manage I will make your favourite tomorrow.

Veera:- okay.

Ishita:- now come let's go down for dinner.

Nandini came down from her room and saw her dad sitting in dinning table on the chair. Nandini without thinking sat on the next chair near her father.

Mother with the two kids came to the dinning area.
Veera saw Nandini sitting in her chair.

Veera:- came near her and tapped on her hand.

Nandini:- turned towards her and asked what happened little one?

Veera:- excuse me can you please get up you are shitting in my place.

Nandini:- understood that she was sitting in Veera's place, she immediately got up and said I am sorry.

Veera:- with a straight face she showed her Ranvi's place and her mother's place. You can sit on other chairs.

Raman was going to shout at Veera but he saw his wife looking at him with a poker face. He kept silent.

Nandini went and sat next to Ishita.
All were having food when Veera saw that her di is having very little food but she kept quiet because she didn't want to be close to her.

After finishing the food Raman said we all walk a bit in the garden as it will be good for digestion.

Author pov:-

So do tell me in comment whether you walk after your night meal. I used to when I was seven years old in my native I had a big house with 13 big rooms and two beautiful gardens one in the front of the house and one in the side of the house. At the back of the house we used to grow vegetables. When I was eight our family started selling our land and we came to Chennai City. I still miss the town I was living in. I miss walking in the garden. Life tells us our tales the saddest part is a person is rich and suddenly he is transformed into a middle class background.
Author's pov ends.

After walking in the garden for twenty minutes all went inside the house.

Nandini:- good night everyone.

Everyone good night.

Ranvi/Veera:- good night dad.

Raman:- good night Ranvi.
Raman went in his study, he had to do some office work.

Ishita went to Ranveera's room to make them sleep.

Ishita:- Veera today what you did with your di was wrong?

Veera:- No Mumma di wrong.

Ranvi:- Veera even if di is wrong you could have said it in a polite way.

Ishita:- hmmm Ranvi is right. Even your Papa was angry with you. Did you notice he didn't wish you good night.

Veera:- Mumma can I go saying sorry to Papa.

Ishita:- thought for a  while and said go.

Veera went to the study and slowly opened the door.

Veera:- Papa can I come in.

Raman:- come in, in stern voice.

Veera:- Sorry papa saying this she hugged Raman.

Raman:- Sorry for what baby?

Veera:- mein bul gayi papa.

Raman:- Veera aab jab tum bul gayi ho toh jao soja.

Veera:- papa sorry na.

Raman:- sorry kyu bol rahi ho jab tum bul gayi ho.

Veera:- Papa meri galti mein ne di se badtameezi se baat ki. Sorry mein fir se nahi karungi.

Raman:- princess mein janta hu yeh hum sab keh liye mushkil hai. Lekin Hume koshish toh karni padegi na.

Veera:- ha papa hum koshish jarur kare geh.

Raman:- yeh Hui na mere princess wali baat saying this he hugged her.

Veera:- Papa no angry.

Raman:- yes I am not angry anymore.

Veera:- papa mein aap ko ek baat batau.

Raman:- ha batao.

Veera:- di na khana bahut Kam kha rahe thi mein dekh ha tha.

Raman:- beta tumhare di bahut dukhi hai.

Veera:- kyu kya hua unhe

Raman:- unki Mumma Jo aapki badi maa hai woh ab is duniya me na rahe.

Veera:- hum hai di ke pass.

Raman:- hmmm 🤔 jalo aab ja ke so jao good night princess.

Veera:- good Papa.

Veera then went back to her room where her mother and brother were waiting for her.

Ishita:- mana liya aapne papa ko.

Veera:- Ha Mumma.

Ishita:- chalo ab jaldi se brushy brushy karlo.

Both of them went to brush their teeth. After brushing her teeth Veera through her towel on Ranvi and ran to her mother.

Ranvi:- shouted Veera but she had reached near Ishita and started dancing. Yeh Veera first o balla balle.

Ranvi:- Veera yeh cheating hai.

Veera:- nahi toh.

Ishita:- bas aab dono ladne band kar ro. Aur so na chalo.

Veera:- Mumma lorry sunao na.

Ranvi:- ha Mumma.

Listening to the song Nandini came out of her room running as this was the same song her mother used to sing for her to make her sleep. She had tears in her eyes, she stood outside of the Ran veera room.

Ishita saw her but pretended that she didn't see her.

Nandini again ran from there to the garden and she sat on the swing and started crying and calling Shagun to comeback.

Nandini:- Mumma I can't be without you. No one loves me here for all I am a stranger. Suddenly she remembered that Shagun told her not to cry, she wiped her eyes. Mumma I promise I will make everyone my friend And very soon everyone will love me saying this she got up from the swing and went inside the house to her room.
