Thank you for the love in previous chapter:)

"Tere aadat lagne se pehle Tak,
Sab theek tha"
"Shi Maa!! Shee, Mumma coming in TV." 
(See, Mumma is coming in TV)
Ishita who was preparing evening tea for herself in the kitchen, frowned in confusion when Anahita came running to her. 
"Did you played any of the recordings, Shona?" 
"No!!" Anahita shook her head in denial and shrugged and Ishita's confusion deepend as she switched off the stove and hurriedly ran to the living room and her steps halted and breath hitched as she saw the headlines and Nandini's photo in the news. 
She looked at Anahita who was looking at the screen with curious eyes and took a shaky breath.
"Shona, uh, don't you have to do you homework? Your Mumma must be coming back from her work, so go and finish before she come and then we will go to the park." Anahita excitedly nodded and went to the room to do her homework and Ishita hurriedly unmuted the TV while keeping the volume low. And she was shocked hearing the news reporter.
...Yes, the picture you're seeing on the screen is none other than Nandini Suraj Goenka, the once treasured grand-daughter of the Prithviraj Goenka, who suddenly disappeared five years ago. Although her identity was never revealed but five years ago when she was disappeared, her family had declared her dead.
Finds out, she was not dead, but was thrown out of the house by her own family. Reason - because she had tried to defame the family's name. 
Reports says that she got pregnant when she was just fifteen. They also further states that, she had tried to blackmail the family of the boy with whom she got pregnant by telling them that she will file rape case against them. The boy and his family is still unknown, but her own family had disowned her when she had stooped so low for her own profits. 
Her whereabouts are still unknown but we feel that her family did right. Will hope that she didn't made any other family, her victim. But that raise a great concern in our society...
Not being able to hear anymore, Ishita switched off the tv as she slumped down on the couch. Her eyes had tears as the reporter's words echoed in her ear. How can they say such things about a girl, a girl who was just fifteen back then, who was herself a victim of everything and today she is being called as oppressor? They doesn't even know the whole truth and they're directly blaming the fifteen years old girl while calling the person who destroyed her life as a victim?
Ishita's heart beat quickened as she imagined Nandini's reaction to this. What will happen when she will see this. She will break down. With so much difficulty she had learned to smile, to live a little and now.
Ishita recall d today morning's incident when she arrived in the kitchen. She was surprised when she saw Nandini making the breakfast with a smile on her face and she was humming the song playing in her mobile kept on shelf, Fab Five's song -- Manik's voice. 
Ishita had knew about Manik and Nandini's outing at midnight. It was Manik who asked her to make Anahita sleep with her and told her about his plans. And looking at the glowing eyes of Nandini, Ishita knew that it was Manik's love shining in them. She had never seen Nandini so happy and glowing ever before, at least not when Anahita wasn't around her.
