Chapter 52: Chapter 52

*Nipuna Pov*

“Good night!” I said, smiling and she nodded, climbing the stairs along with Sudhir.

“We shouldn’t have done that.” Aahil mumbled after a few minutes.

“I expected Mridula to say such words, but not you, Aahil. And we didn’t do anything intentionally.” I pointed out.

“I think Nipuna is right.” Mridula said making me frown at her.

“Really?” I asked and she nodded.

“Look, we were just coincidentally near the window and saw the emotional moment with our eyes as we couldn’t move feeling emotional ourselves.”Mridula mumbled and Aahil stared at her in shock along with me.

“I accept that actually. It was too emotional mainly when he was hugging both of them kneeling on the ground.” Mom said nodding.

“I seriously thought she loves Jay and Manohar was a distraction, but here something else is going on.” I said frowning.

“Don’t keep your hopes on Jay.” Mridula mumbled and I stared at her with confusion.

“Anyway, maybe the office work was good for her little better mood.” Aahil said smiling.

“I can’t believe he dumped all the work over her and was here praising along with saying how much work he gave to her. If not for my plan for him to get shocked seeing her here, I would have scolded him.” I said thinking about Dileep.

“Leave him, Nipuna. Concentrate on your cousin and give the poor guy some better days.” Aahil said, smirking while I rolled my eyes at him.

“So, what shall we do?” I asked staring at them.

“We will not do anything. She had enough interruption from everyone. She will find her own way.” Mridula said and I opened my mouth to object.

“Mridula is right.” Mom said and I frowned at her.

“But she is my cousin.” I mumbled and Mridula frowned at me.

“I am sorry if I am…” I cut her off shaking my head.

“It is just my sulking and if you both think like that then it is fine.” I said smiling at her and she smiled back.

“Okay! Then I guess I shouldn’t stop someone from coming here.” Aahil mumbled and we all turned to stare at him.

“Who?” Uncle asked, frowning.

“It is Jay! The people who told me about Kalpana were his and he seems to know about my own investigation. So, he called me today morning asking about Kalpana but I acted like I don’t even know such name.” Aahil explained.

“Yeah! Let him come.” Mridula said nodding.

“She will get upset.” I said, staring at her.

“I think she needs to face it and we will be there, right. And my guess is she will feel more upset if she knows some other person tried to rule her life.” Mridula said and looked up only to freeze.

“Rule her life you say.” We heard Tajwar’s voice and turned to see him walking towards us.

“Now, what is this round table conference?” he asked sitting beside me.

“About my cousin.” I replied shrugging.

“Right!” he mumbled when I didn’t elaborate and then stared at Mridula who was busy with taking away the dishes after placing the food on one plate.

“Have your dinner.” Mom said, pushing the plate towards him frowning.

“I will have it in my room.” He said getting up and climbed the stairs while Mridula returned to the dining area.

“Aahil! Call him and give him the address, but not the company where she is working for now. If he wants to talk to her then let it be our home than the place where we may not do anything if needed.” Mridula said holding the plate and walked away.

“I will never understand these both. Some way or the other they have a problem.” Mom said shaking her head.

“Join the club, Mom.” I said smirking.

“Don’t behave like you are any better than them. Who knows how you both will fight again.” She said, shaking her head again.

“You all have kids now. At least act maturely.” She added.

“You solved your problems after your kids have kids.” I pointed out and she narrowed her eyes at me before smiling and walked away along with Uncle.

“You both are too much.” Aahil said, smiling and I winked at him.
