Acquainted
The three men after seeing Mrs Harjeet off got into the mansion that's when they realized that someone was missing then Rishabh asked"where is Durga I did not see her at the dinner table has she ate " then the head maid told Rishabh everything after that Rishabh along with his father went to the kitchen to find a white haired girl sitting in the kitchen eating chocolate flavoured cereal . Durga who was looking down focusing all her attention on the chocolate flavoured cereal she was so hungry that the bowl of cereal that she was eating now was her 3rd bowl of cereal and she was still not satisfied she decided that after eating the cereal Durga went to place the bowl into a dishwasher then she took out a larger jug of water from the fridge and she drank 4 glasses of water but still was unsatisfied Durga felt like her stomach was like bottomless pit .
looking at the disappointed look her face then Prakesh said "Are you still hungry dear " Durga who was looking down slowly darted her eyes to direction the voice was coming that's where she saw her father standing with an elderly man beside him she asked " how long have you been standing there " "long enough to find you drinking 4 glasses of water" Rishabh says then she sighed at least they didn't see her chow down 3 bowls of cereal "no I am not hungry was just thirsty being chased by the security guard for 4 hours is no joke "Durga just brushed it off then the two men looked at it eachother awkwardly
Then squeezing his way in Rudra said "happy belated birt. ..." swallowing his Rudra looked at at the girl Infront of him while Durga was also looking at the boy "Durga !? " "Rudra!?"
"what are you doing here ? " they both said in unison "wait ! do you two know each other ?"Rishabh asks looking at Durga then at Rudra "yes dad she is Durga Tunisha Mehra Omkara's girlfriend " Rudra explains "Girlfriend ?"Rishabh asks looking at Durga her cheeks burning red from embarrassment "she then darted a look at Rudra who was feeling proud of him "Half girlfriend I am his half girlfriend meaning that he is my childhood best friend /half boyfriend " Durga explained "but isn't a half girlfriend equivalent to a complete girlfriend "Rudra says feeling proud of being able to embarrass his sister Infront of father and grandpa "you know you sound and look like how an annoying little brother would look like" Durga said sarcastically
"it is my absolute pleasure dear older sister " Rudra said returning the sarcasm back Rudra reminded her of Mohana her equally sarcastic best friend then the two started speaking of other many topics Rudra and Durga realized that they have a lot in common seeing how his grandchildren interacted with each other made the old man relived meanwhile the Rishabh was fuming in anger knowing why his son was furious Prakesh just laughed and said "she is at the age where having boyfriends are normal Rishabh " "but dad to me she is still too young I will marry her off or allow her to have boyfriends when she is 65 " hearing what her old man said Durga choked on her own saliva and said "now I see you want me to be a spinster my entire life no way i want to get married have tons of kids don't you want to be called grandpa one day " Durga says
the moment he heard the word grandpa Rishabh frowned as it reminded him of what doctor Khan said that the is a high possiblity of his 18 year old daughter being pregnant then he stormed off shocking both Rudra and Durga as they looked at each other with amusement what is wrong with him only Prakesh knew "don't worry kids I will go check on him" then they returned to their conversion "so you are saying that Rohan is getting married in three weeks that is great"
Durga said "so are you going to the wedding and ceremonies "Durga asks"well if only dad permits me " Rudra says " i brought you this I know it is not much but I hope you like it happy belated birthday sis " "ncooh Rudra this is beautiful and it matches with my charm bracelet " Durga says showing Rudra the charm bracelet on her wrist
