Tara was lost in her thoughts when Mayank entered inside their room with a tray full of healthy food in his hands. But he was not alone to enter inside.
Swarna came inside and settle herself on bed infront of Tara. Tara's thought got disturb by Mayank. She saw Swarna who was sitting infront of her.
" How are you beta (Child) ?" Swarna caress Tara's hairs lovingly.
" I am fine mam." Tara smile warmly.
" But I am not fine." Swarna glare at her angrily. Both Tara and Mayank looked at each other in confusion.
" You should call me Maa." Swarna's voice turn into sweet one. Tara smile hearing this, tears collected in her eyes. She quickly hugged Swarna and start to cry out.
Swarna wrap her arms around Tara and caress her back to calm her down, but Tara was not ready to stop her waterfall.
After sometime Tara calm down a bit. They both broke the hug and looked into each other's eyes.
" You should do a check up, Mayank did you called doctor?" Swarna shift her gaze towards her son.
" No need for that. I am perfectly fine." Tara looked at with a bit hesitation. Swarna saw her reaction to which she furrowed in confusion.
" Are you ok Tara? Is there something which is trembling you?" Swarna said with a worried tone.
Tara shake her head and looked at Mayank. Swarna understood what Tara want to say.
" Mayank go out and wait." Swarna said in stern voice looking at Mayank.
" But Maa....." Swarna cut him off.
" I said go." Mayank put the tray on side table and ran out from room. Both Swarna and Tara chuckled looking at his action.
" Now tell me what's the matter?" Swarna took Tara's hand in her and caress it.

Outside of Mayra's room.
Mayank was biting his nails in nervousness while walking back and fore from the time he was kicked out from his room.
" Eat my nails, if you want more." Mayank saw Kartik and Shubham, who was showing him his nails.
They were sharp and big but dirt was stucked inside of them.
" No thanks, I will stay hungry for lifetime instant of eating them." Mayank said with a fake smile.
" Subah subah ghar ko kyu Parliament bana rakha hai?" They all looked at the source of the voice only to find Manish in his three piece suit, which was in Royal Blue color.
He was not looking less than any bollywood hero even at his 50s. His grey hair were looking like silver threads.
His face has the same glow he had in his young days.
He walked towards the youngsters. All were looking at him like Manish has grow horns on his head.
" Maa, and Tara both are talking something." Mayank said, to which Manish furrowed.
" What? Did you trouble her? Or did something? I am telling you Mayank, don't you dare to trouble my daughter otherwise......." Mayank cut her in between.
" I didn't trouble her dad, she was resting. When Maa came to meet her, they were signing each other and Maa, told me to get out." Mayank sigh helplessly.
" I don't know, but seems like you have to do something to impress Tara." Manish said dramatically put his hand below his chin.
" Yesterday, Tara fainted so sudden." Kartik said in between which grab everyone's attention.
" Is Tara bhabhi sick?" Shubham asked.
" She fainted yesterday, and no one care to tell me?" Manish said with anger.
" I wanted to call doctor but Tara deny for it, she said she want to rest." Mayank replied.
" Seems like both ladies are going to punish you hard bhai." Shubham said scaring Mayank. Mayank gulps down hard his own saliva hearing that.
" Mayank, make sure to please your wife otherwise you are gone." Manish said in a warning tone which scared Mayank even more.
Soon Swarna came out from Tara's room, there was a stern expression on her face. Everyone present there gulps looking at her.
" Everyone go for you respective works!" Everyone rush to leave hearing the order of their mother who was looking like a Hitler at that time.

At night in kaira's room
Naira was working on her laptop when Kartik came out from washroom after freshing up. He looked at her carefully, she didn't even change the expression on her face.
Kartik put his towel for drying, he sat on bed beside Naira but still she didn't even spare a gaze on him.
" Naira, why are you ignoring me these days?" He whispered softly with care.
" Kartik, I am not a owner of the hospital like you, I have to answer my seniors plus I am occupied with so much work. I am so stress, stop troubling me." She said with a irritating face, her eyes fixed on the screen of her laptop.
" Sorry, but if you have so much work then why from few weeks you are taking half day leave from hospital. You didn't came to Mansion, you were not in hospital. Where you go?" He said.
Her fingers which was typing something stopped all of sudden, she gulps in fear to get catch by him but she quickly covered her expression with stern one.
" So you are spying me?" She raised her eyebrow looking at him with a little attitude look.
" No, I just came to meet you. But receptionist said you left. Many times I came to visit you but not even a single time you was there." Kartik try to calm her down.
" Who are you to question me Mr.Goenka? For your kind information, we decide to stay as friend with limits. So keeping sense in that we are not allowed to interfere in eachother life." She shut her laptop and went into guest room.
Kartik sigh but he was confused about the sudden change in Naira's behavior. She was happy with him few weeks ago, but now she can't even stand with him.

In the balcony
Mayank was lean on the balcony wall. Inhaling the cigarette, he let out the smoke. He was worried about Tara which let him start to smoke again.
But his act didn't last long, Tara came and stood with little distance from him. He was facing his back towards her. So he was not aware about her presence.
" Mayank I want to tell you something." Tara said but Mayank didn't turn, he know that she will scold him for drinking a cigarette when he know very well that she hate him smoking.
" I............ I am pregnant." She said and closed her eyes to let tears escape from them.
He didn't moved neither he looked at her, tears were escaping from her eyes, she was wrong when she thought he loves her.
But in no time she was lift up in air and swing around. He put her on her feet, a smile was decorated on his lips with tears of happiness filling in his eyes.
" Tara, I am so happy. I am going to be a father and you are going to be a mother." He hugged her. It took sometime for her to realize that he is genuinely happy.
She wrap her hands around his waist both hugged each other for sometime but then Mayank realized something. He broke the hug and lift Tara in his arms.
He took her inside and laid her on bed. She sat straight on bed.
" You shouldn't come on balcony in such cold weather, what if you catch cold?" He said worriedly.
" Mayank, I am just 1 week pregnant, and look I am fine." She said pointing to herself.
Mayank sigh and hugged her again. He removed his shirt and laid on bed and Tara sat on top of him. She hugged his bare back and his hands wrap around her waist.
She closed her eyes, his hand slid into her soft hairs caressing it softly with love. She smiled unconsciously.
After a long wait, she finally got everything she desire a family, mother in law and father in law who take care of her like their own daughter, a devar who sees her as his friend and brother who always supports her, a young devar who respect her like his mother, and at last the love of her husband.
She waited a lot for him, for his love and care. She loved him with all her heart, without expecting anything in return. She just pour her love to him.
She is living her dream, finally the happiness has entered in her life. Everything she desire is now in her life.

"Congratulations!!!!" Shubham shouted which echoed in the whole dinning area.
" Congratulations Bhabhi." Naira hugged Tara. Everyone present in the dinning hall was happy, a smile was decorated on their faces.
" Finally, we can again pamper a baby." Surekha said and put her hand under Tara's chin.
" I will spoil my little champ." Shubham said and hugged Tara tightly. Mayank came forward and quickly separate him from Tara.
" Why are you hugging her so tightly?" Mayank said with angry and care.
" Mayank, she is just one weeks pregnant, it didn't harm." Swarna said.
" But still, be careful." Mayank said with a pout. Everyone smiled looking at his care.
" Tara be careful with your husband's protectiveness." Surekha said and everyone start to laugh.
But there was someone who was not happy with Tara's pregnancy. With her gaze it feels like she was casting evil eyes to her and her unborn baby.
