*" Aryan..." The faint whisper grabbed their attention as the family was busy finding ways to accuse their new daughter-in-law.
"Ishani....." Aryan ran towards his sister, "...Tum thik toh ho na.." he asked brushing the little bangs on her forehead.
"Ishani beta..." Chanchal chachi in her same sharp shrill voice, asked towering on her daughter, "....Kya hua tha tujhe?" She ran her palm through her hairs, while the stones on her bangles getting lightly entangled with locks giving a sharp pull. Ishani slightly screeched in pain
"....Tu kisi se mat darr..." Chanchal chachi continued, eyeing Riddhima,"...Apni chachi ko bata.."
"Riddhima ne kuch nhi kiya...." She answered removing her Aunt's hand from her head.
The look on Aryan's face went blank, while Granny gave a short assuring smile to Riddhima who had the same blank expression as Aryan's. While Anupriya just stood their looking uninterested.
"Dekha..." Chanchal chachi shrieked out, "....Yeh bhi keh rahi hai ki Tune kuch nhi kiya...." She suddenly lashed out at Riddhima receiving confused gazes from her family, which confused her too..
"....Haa!! Riddhima ne kuch nhi kiya?!?!" She asked confirming the heard words.
"Nhi..." Ishani replied nonchalantly, "...Infact usne meri jaan bachayi..." she added pressing her lips in thin line.
"Thank you" and this time was the turn of each and every member to give a blank expression.
"Ho gya sabko yakeen...?" Asked Granny pulling the rest out of trance, ".... Par gayi kaleje ko thandak?" She inquired firmly looking at Chanchal chachi who immediately averted her gaze from Riddhima.
"....Ab jao. Ishani ko aaram karne do.." She shooed out the members while herself walking up to her grand-daughter, "Ishani beta... Tu aaram kar.." Granny patted Ishani's head softly.
"Dadi..?" Ishani called looking up at her.
"Haa beta. Koi dikkat hai..?" responded Granny with utmost care.
"Mere pair..." She answered glancing at her legs, "... kabhi kabhi bhari lag rahe hai..." Ishani put forward her worry.
Smiling at her beautiful grand-daughter, Granny replied, "....Yeh pregnancy mein hota hai... Koi nhi. Main maalish kar deti hoon" she stated and Ishani nodded her head like a little child.
"Aap rehne dijiye Dadi...." Riddhima stepped forward, "...Main kar deti hoon" she asked for it giving a short smile.
"Aacha thik hai, Tu hi kar de.." Granny permitted her grand daughter-in-law smiling.
"Nhi!!" Ishani immediately opposed, "....Koi zaroorat nhi hai...." Her eyes went wide with rage, while an eyebrow raised up, "....Isse maalish lene se aacha, main dard hi sahu.." she commented.
"Thik hai..." Riddhima agreed taking few steps towards Ishani, "....mujhse mat lo. Par ek physiotherapist se toh le sakti ho na..?" Asked Riddhima making Ishani look at her with astonishment.
"Haa... Maanja.." suggested Granny chuckling at her grand daughter-in-law's smartness.
