At evening. Avneet and Vaishnavi were preparing dinner. Whereas, Khushi and Ruhi were busy in playing hide and seek on insist on khushi. Abhishek joined them along with Siddharth. Siddharth was happy seeing "his" family. He was missing Simran but never mind soon she will join them. He noticed Ruhi slowly being comfortable with Abhishek too though she was maintaining good distance from him but at least playing with him.

Once dinner was ready. Vaishnavi packed it for Siddharth and Simran. Siddharth took it and left for school. Like yesterday, he called her and waited for her in playground. As she came. She hug him tight, squealing.

Simran: I missed you so much.

Khushi (in Vaishnavi's tone): Chachu no bad manners.

Abhishek chuckled. Vaishnavi too. Avneet and Ruhi too joined them.

Khushi focused on letter.

Hello Khushi,

Thank you dear for helping me at night. I am so Thankful to god that you received phone instead of Sir. I might have hurt him with my questions, intentions and thinking. Though, not intentionally but still. Thank you for receiving my call and talking with me that too in mid night. Thank you for explaining me everything instead of naming my thinking negativity as everyone do. Also, I love pancakes, chocolate which you made. You have to teach me baking when we will meet. Okay? And.... Can we be friends? It's totally fine if you don't want to be. But if you want to be then here is my phone number xxxxxxxxxx.

Simran....

Khushi read the letter and smiled widely. She went to Avneet and showed her that letter. Avneet smiled widely reading everything. Khushi was going in room to call Simran.

Siddharth (confused): What happened?
Abhishek: Same question...
Khushi (stopped in between): It's our secret.
Siddharth: But I guess we were best friends.
Khushi (scrunching her nose): But now chachi is and you stop being jello jello.
Avneet (small smile): Nothing... Simran is thanking her for pancakes, meals, cake and everything. So, she asked for friendship.

She hid truth as she too understood what Simran wanted to say. Siddharth and others smiled. So, finally life is going on track.

Khushi: Come Ruhi... We will share this chocolate. Come....

She took her in room.

Avneet: She is so cute, jolly and understanding.
Vaishnavi: Afterall, she has my qualities.
Abhishek (smirking): But she is my daughter.
Vaishnavi (glaring Abhishek): Shut up.

Siddharth and Avneet chuckled, waiting for their time to fight like them.
