When Aditya gets ready he comes downstairs, he wanted to see his son, and as expected when Aarav sees him he shouts daddy and starts jumping.

Aarav is way too happy, there is no kindergarten this week, he is staying with his mom and granny and eating the food which his mom especially made for him. And now his father is also back.

"baby doesn't jump," Aditya says while hugging his son. He misses his son.

"Daddy I miss you," Aarav said while kissing him. Aditya also kisses him back. That time Meera call them for breakfast. Aarav shouted back that they are coming and told his father to eat with him.

Aditya is thinking about how to refuse but he remembers Meera's cooking and decided to eat.

  After eating breakfast Meera takes Aarav with her and she signals Anjali and quickly left. Aditya gets confused & looks towards Anjali.

 Anjali understands what Meera wanted to do, previously she tells Meera that she once wanted to apologize to Aditya, Meera promised her that she will try her best to give her a chance. Anjali understands that this is her chance to speak with Aditya.

"Adi I wanted to talk with you," Anjali said while gathering her courage.

"About What?" Aditya questioned.

"I understand that you consider me guilty for your dad's death, and yes it is true that I am guilty, but I don't do anything intentionally, I fall for him completely and as you know I don't have any family, your father is the one who protects me, love me and also I have my family with him, you and Ani, I don't want to see my family get separated.

 I understand I act selfish, but I truly love him, and if I know something like that will happens, then I will never do that thing, I am really..."Anjali can't able to complete her sentence. She can't help but start crying. She remembers those days, and can't help but feel guilty.

     Aditya also froze on a place. It is not like his mom never explains it, it is just either she is shouting at him, or either he is shouting at her, he remembers her mom stop talking with his brother because his brother is gay. At that time his brother is just 17 years old while he is 21/22 years old.

 It is also the reason why Aditya get into a relationship, At that time he wanted to find his sexuality because he doesn't feel attracted to anyone, so he found a beautiful girl and decided to spend time with her, but unfortunately they break up on bitter terms. It can be said that the relationship between their family is quite complicated.

        Due to all these things including his father's death, Aditya started to feel bitter about his mom, but he also understands that she also has her reasons. In this week he sees Aarav's interaction with Meera and realized that even though they have servants, the way Meera takes care of Aarav is somewhat taxing.

 He also remembers how much his mother sacrifice for them. And due to the conversation with Meera, he realized that he takes everything for granted.

He never thinks about what will happen if he doesn't have his parents and especially his mother, after his father's death she and uncle Amar work hard for him and Ani, but he just blames them for his father's death.

      He also remembers what his father tells him in his last days, he tells him to work hard and protect Ani, his mom, and Amar, his father also tells him that he is proud of him.

"Stop crying," Aditya says while putting his hand on Anjali's shoulder, he sometimes really feels jealous of his son's innocence, his son quickly forgives a bad mom like Meera but he is still struggling to do that.

Anjali who gets this awkward support hugs him tightly. Due to this sudden hug Aditya get surprised but also feel emotional, he realized that he holds a grudge which he shouldn't. He also hugs his mom back and can't help but shade tears.

        Here Meera takes Aarav outside thinking about her future, after all, she doesn't know how will Aditya react, she just hopes he will not make Anjali sadder.

"Mom, why did we run from our home?" Aarav questioned.

"umm because grandma wanted to say sorry to your daddy"

"but why granny wanted to say sorry to daddy?"

"because she does some mistakes in the past, do you think will daddy forgive granny?" Meera questioned.

"Yes daddy has a big heart" Aarav replied.

"Aaru baby I also wanted to say sorry, will you forgive mom for her past mistakes?" Meera questioned, she understands that even though the old Meera doesn't do things intentionally, she is still not a very good mom.

"Ummm...Mumma I know you are busy at work, you don't need to say sorry" Aarav said feeling confused.

"No, mom is not busy it just mom doesn't understand how to be a good mom, but my baby is so nice that he understands me, I love you Aaru," Meera said while kissing him.

This little child's innocence is too much for her little heart. Meera whenever gives something to Aarav that child wanted to share it with her, she can't help but love this child more, so she sincerely apologizes.

       After some time when Meera thinks that Anjali and Aditya might have some talk Meera decided to go back to the home, she locks the house from the outside, it is not impossible to open the door but the thing is it is time-consuming.

        So when Meera opens the door she gets surprised to see both Anjali and Aditya are seating at the table while drinking tea, she can see that Anjali is crying, but what's more, Aditya is also must cry, she just hopes that the result is good.

She coughs, Aarav also somewhat feels stressed, even though he is little he can understand that his granny and his father don't talk with each other, he just hopes that his father started to like mom and granny, and also his uncle then they can live together.

"Meera meet me upstairs," Aditya tells her as soon as she comes, Meera who thinks he is gonna give her a lecture can't help but get shuddered, but what can she do she gives Aarav to Anjali and follow Aditya.

  "I don't like nosy people or the people who interfere in other people's matters," Aditya said as soon as they come inside.

"I... I am sorry" Meera replied.

"hmmm, but anyway this time without you things might not be easy, so thank you, but I hope you will remember that you are not my real wife," Aditya said while observing her expression.

"Yes, I understand," Meera said, and sigh relief until he refuses to meet her Aarav she is happy with whatever condition he imposes on her. Meera wanted to leave the room, but Aditya gives her a card. Meera looks at him with a big question mark on her face.

 "This card has 5 million, you can use them," Aditya said and then leave the room.

"So he is saying thank you this way"Meera murmurs, she wanted to refuse, but decided to keep the money, what if he wanted to marry someone else, what can she do. That time only money will help her, thinking this she keep the money, she also decided to do something, so she can return all the money she is using from him. Thinking this she also leaves the room.
