A/n pov:
At night:

Gauri was sitting on her bed getting bored and scrolling through the Phone..

Gauri: uff living in big room is kinda boring

She got up from her bed and starts looking the things placed there. She went towards one of the painting and touches it. She went towards the balcony and looked at the view

Gauri: wow..

Suddenly someone knocks on her door and gauri came back to room

Gauri: aa jaiye

The door opens to reveal maid

Maid: ma'am you are requested to present at dinner table

Gauri: okay...I'm coming

Maid nods and closes the door.
Gauri went towards mirror and fixes her hair.

Gauri: all good

And with that she leves the place

At dinning table:

Everyone was waiting for gauri while Neel was just sitting thinking something...

Sakshi: Neel find gauri..where is she..

Neel: she must be coming

Sakshi: Neel you are well aware what I'm talking about...find her before she finds anything...

Neel nods and gets up from his place

Meanwhile~

Gauri was lost as she wasn't able to find the dinning room. Suddenly she stops in front of a one certain door and thought

Gauri: what type of door is this..and why it's locked..

She was about to touch the door when she felt hand on her shoulder causing her to turn and flinched..

Gauri: aap.. ( you)

Neel: why are you here- I mean why didn't you came for dinner

Gauri: ohh I was lost...

Neel: you could have called me...

Gauri: but I don't have your number?

Neel cursed himself inside his mind

Gauri: plus I didn't brought my phone..

She said innocently while Neel spoke

Neel: it's ok..now I'm here..let's go..

Gauri nods totally forgetting about the door and leaves that place while Neel took a glance of that room and left that place with her

She came in dinning room where sakshi saw her and smiled

Sakshi: you are here gauri..where were you?

She said softly and gauri replied

Gauri: sorry..I was lost but sir found me..

Sakshi: it's ok...now seat..you must be starving

Gauri nods and take a seat while Neel sits in her opposite direction

Sakshi: let me introduce you to our members..

Sakshi: that's neel's elder brother, Karan..

Karan: hi gauri...

Gauri: hi..

Sakshi: and his wife kavya..

Kavya: hello

Gauri: hi..

Sakshi: that's Sarita and Ramesh.. neel's uncle and aunt

Gauri: namastey

She said while joining her hands while they passed their smiles

Sakshi: so this is our family..I hope you felt nice meeting them

Gauri: of course aunty..all are lovely..

Sakshi smiled while Neel just sighed

Sakshi: please eat..

Gauri nods and everyone starts eating

Time skips~

Gauri was in her room talking with her mother

Swaparna: you are not having any kind of trouble right?

Gauri: no mom..they all seems friendly however...didn't indulge much in conversation..

Swaparna: oh it's ok, when you will start living there completely..you will get used to it... sasural are always seems tough at first but eventually everything becomes easy..

Gauri: yeah..

Swaparna: no don't think too much, go to sleep..I'll be coming tomorrow

Gauri: okay mom

She cuts the call and switch offs the light.

Meanwhile~
In sakshi's room:

Sakshi: what???

Neel: yes mom..she accidentally came across the room..

Sakshi: glad you found her on time..I was having that feeling..anyways,she didn't asked anything about that room right?

Neel: no mom before she could have realised anything I changed the topic

Sakshi: good job...don't let her go near that room..if she found about your past..it will be a big problem..we have to use her without getting expose

Neel: don't worry mom everything will go according to the plan..

Sakshi: yeah..this time we will surely win..
