Ghar ki rounak ab badal chuki thi. Mehra Niwas jo pehle khamosh rehta tha, ab wahan kabhi rone ki toh kabhi khilkhilaane ki awaazein gunjti thin. Arjun ke liye har din ek naya imtihan tha, magar woh is masoom "bacchi" ki hifazat mein koi kasar nahi chhod raha tha.

Dopahar ka waqt tha. Suman ji ne bade jatan se ek mitti ka bahut purana aur qeemti guldan drawing room mein rakha tha. Diya apni doll ke saath khel rahi thi ke achanak usne dekha ke Ishaan uski taraf ball phenk raha hai.
