The days begin to pass. As per the suggestions by Dr Anjali, Ishika underwent the treatment. It took four weeks for them to finish the process.

The gestational pregnancy requires the eggs to be fertilized by the male sperm. It took three weeks for the process to finish and then two sittings to get the person to accept the fertilized eggs. Yep, these four weeks have been the longest for Ishika, Anamika and Vineet.

It's a fine day - - Anamika and Ishika are in the hospital, Dr Anjali is doing Ishika's checkup. The young lady has accepted the child and she's pregnant now. She could feel a tiny life inside her. Seeing it on the screen makes her heart feel full.

She looks at Anamika and smiles while the latter thanks her

She looks at Anamika and smiles while the latter thanks her. Anjali asks Ishika to take care and says that she's fine. Anamika is elated and collecting the sonography report, the ladies head home.

The journey towards home is silent. Neither Anamika nor Ishika say anything. For Anamika, it's something she's craved for a long time while for Ishika, embracing a child is a new experience. She knows it will change her body shape and it will take a toll on her looks but she's ready.

The silent thoughts of the girls stop when Anamika's phone rings. She attends the call and turns a little worried. Ishika asks the matter in signs but Anamika shushes her. In the meantime, they reach home. Ishika and Anamika head inside the house and Ishika asks Radha to make tea for her and Anamika. She moves into her room to change. Fifteen minutes later, Ishika comes out and finds Anamika sitting on the sofa. She's looking thoughtful.

"Di, kya hua? Kiska phone tha?" Ishika asks softly.

"Kuch nahi, Ishu." Anamika tries to shush her.

"Arey batao na, kya hua?" Ishika asks again
