Today she was very excited after all she's going to meet her parents after such a long span of time smiling to herself she just immediately ran towards house giggling to herself

"Ahhhh finally I'll be meeting mumma papa there are alot of things I wanted to share with them taste mumma handmade food want to hug papa tightly and get the ulter peace of mind" she jumped happily and went inside the house without knocking in the intension to surprise them

As she moved in only to find her mother working in the kitchen and her father watching television making her chuckle but smiling sheepishly she just went there not making any noise and put her both the palms on his eyes leaving him surprised but instantly recognising the touch his eyes started to get numb "aashu?" He asked in a trembling voice making her heart ech as if he was confirming

"Yes papa it's your aashu" she replied coming infront of him leaving him amused unknowingly the tears started rolling off her cheeks simultaneously after seeing his daughter after such a long time
With a heavy voice  he said "how's my baacha" he tried to speak more but couldn't she just hugged him in return this is what she want this comforting hug a moment when she could get over everything a moment of peace with the person she feel safe her comfort zone
"I..... missed you papa" she said in-between sobbing onto his chest if find solace there her tone was reflecting the amount of pain she's holding beneath herself
Honestly he regret pushing his daughter into all this just to rebound his broken friendship he practically he sacrificed her to this now regretting for sure

"Me too my princess" he answered smiling painfully for some time they choose to be silent not uttering any words just be with each other and have a minute of peace of their heart

Kaveri mehra who came with tea for her husband but was dumbfolded to watch the father daughter duo together for a moment she thought it to be her delusion like it's since ages she had last seen her daughter
Had embrace her in her arms

Place the cup on the table she cleared her throat trying to gain their attention which she was successful too "wah you guys forgot me after meeting each other very bad" she pouted making them smile wholeheartedly and offer her to get into the family hug

"I missh you so much mumma papa" she answered truthfully making them aww on her cuteness

After spending moment of joy together out of sudden something hit in kaveri's mind making her panic out of sudden "beta why you came here what if...." her words were cut in middle by Aashvika "I've informed Ekansh about this mumma so just chill " she answered making her sigh in relief "now won't you make my favourite food please naa I'm literally craving for your handmade pav bhaji" she whinned making her laugh at her daughter cuteness

"Why only pav bhaji make gajar ka halwa sahi paneer and jeera rice too and not to forget gulab jamun" he commented Licking his lips making the mother daughter giggles at his antiques
"Sure I'll and will also pack for Aarushi and parth too maybe as a compensation of not attending his marriage sorry but your father health wasn't good" she remarked in an apologetic tone

"Only for Aarushi Bhabhi parth ison business trip" she answered making them confused at her remark

"He got married yesterday and left for business trip strange" exclaimed Rajdeep Mehra with a genuine tone

"Well then give it to his bride I don't think I'll be able to meet her so a gift from my side" she asked with a smiling face making Aashvika feel awkward

Gathering some courage she looked at her mother "mumma don't you think that she belongs to a rich family she won't be interested umm yk what I'm trying to say" her mother realised what she was trying to say but sigh in disbelief "I don't know if she'll accept my handmade food or not but still I want you to give it to her " she answered truthfully before marching towards kitchen leaving both of them there to have conversation

They talked to almost 2 hrs pouring their heart out with each other relaxing their mind with this heartfelt conversation after that they were called for food
The aroma of delicious food was spread all over the room making them starve more than hungry they were and hurriedly ran over to kitchen
Only to be greeted by the mouthwatering food infront of them both just sat across and started devouring the dishes like they were hungry since ages

"Aishhh these two uff eat slowly the food is not running away" remarked kaveri making them smiling sheepishly making her smile In disbelief

She sat with them feeding her daughter after such a long time both the parents were pampering her making her heart swell with happiness it was like she's not willing to go back to that house again she wants to be here With them under their protection but her luck was not with her still she decided to enjoy to fullest today

Like this she literally enjoyed her day with no sense of worry in her mind completely forgetting her pain and sorrows just smiling at her parents effort to make her feel homely

Putting her head on her mother lap she started telling her about her pov on Krishnaa "mumma I don't know what to feel about her it's not like her presence is giving me negative vibes it's just ....." she paused in middle

"It's just that she belongs to a rich family and you fear that she'll behave the same way as of Aadrika right" she complete her word making the girl nod in return

Her mother smiled at her innocence "I'm very much aware of the fear in your heart beta but why to think negative all the time maybe she'll be like Aarushi it's not that just cuz she belongs to rich family she'll rude and arrogant maybe it's her personality of talking less also she's new too this environment it might take time for her to adjust and just tell me did she ever tried to insult u or anything" to which she nodded negatively
"Then why to develop a negative opinion about someone without knowing about that person try to be genuine" she said the matter of facts making the lad realise that she was doing nothing but overthinking maybe her mother was right and also she wasn't getting any bad intuition about her she decided to apologise for her rude behaviour

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

"I think I should leave now don't worry will come soon" she said hugging both of her parents even after knowing that her words won't be coming true atleast not so soon

Both of them just smiled and bid their farewell not before asking her to take care of herself and give blessings to parth Aarushi and Krishnaa not to forget Ekansh and Abhimanyu to which she smiled and taking the box of food marched towards the car standing their tears were dripping off her cheeks continuously it was like she want to ran to them and say she want to stay with them but can't

Waving her hands she just left alone again the pain was not letting her look back don't know when she'll be meeting them again
