Shagun and Tanya just came home when the door bell rings. 'Ab es time pe kon aaya hoga?' Tanya murmurs as Shagun opens the door. They sees a delivery guy standing there, and looks at each other, as they didn't ordered anything.

'Ma'am, address yehi hai,' the delivery guy replies. Just when Shagun is about to take the delivery, Mihika stops her, 'Bhabhi, yeh mera hai!'

She is extremely possessive of her things, especially make-up kit. She pays the delivery guy and then turns to them, 'Accha huva aap dono mujhe yahi mil gaye.'

'Kyu? Kya baat hai?' Tanya asked, but in her mind thinks, 'Pata nahi ab konsa kaand karne vaali hai yeh!'

'Actually, mujhe aap ko batana hai,' she quickly realises her mistake and covers up, 'Woh mera matlab hai, puchna hai kuch.'

Shagun looks at Tanya, as they exchanges a glance before replying her, 'Haan, kya puchna chahti ho?'

'Woh meri dost Kavya, aap jaante hai na? So, I was just thinking to visit her, since it's been very long that we have met each other. Kya mein jaau?'

'Haan, hum jaante hai!' Shagun sighs in relief. 'Tum jaau use accha lagega. By the way, when are you going?'

She jumps in excitement, 'Tomorrow morning itself. Par aap dono kaha se aa rahi hai?'

'Woh actually, hum Meera ke ghar gaye the, though Rojit prohibited me from getting involved in their matter, but I just couldn't stop myself, since my work revolves around this.'

'So, did she listen to you?'

'No, she didn't. Par hum khush hai ki usne at least apne liye stand lene ka decision toh liya, aur bohot hi jald woh Ranjana, ko apne ghar aur uske husband ki zindagi se nikal degi,' Tanya said happily.

She nods her head, but in her mind something else is going on. 'Uske saath jo bhi ho, I don't care. But one thing is sure, that whatever I am going to do now, will give me immense happiness, aur aap sab ke liye taklif. I know past mein jo bhi huva mere aur Kavya ke beech mein, mujhe use piche chod kar, uski help leni padegi. Kyunki ab sirf ek wohi hai, jo meri help kar sakti hai!'

Meera is looking at her and Dharam's photo frame, and caresses it. 'Yeh sab kya hogaya, meine kya socha tha, aur yeh..Humare parivaar ko, humare rishte ko kiski nazar lag gai..Yeh sab meri..'

'Suno mere paas tumhare liye ek offer hai,' Ranjana said walking towards her. She looks at her with a bored expression on her face.

Anyhow, Ranjana continues, 'Tum mujhe Dharam ke saath uski girlfriend ban ke rehne do, aur tum yaha Medha ki Maa bankar raho..'

A damp veil of silence descends upon them for a moment, until Ranjana breaks it, 'Toh, mera offer kesa laga tumhe? Accept karti ho?'

She walks closer towards her and slaps her, making her squirm in pain. Ranjana holds her throbbing cheek and looks at her.
