Chapter 9

Shruti’s POV

“Our daughter has come…”

“What? Oh my god! All of a sudden? Is everything all right?” My mom came to me with happiness and concern on her face at the same time.

“I am fine ma… I came back for Holi. We had gone on a trip to Rajasthan from the hospital and I met Vidhi. She was coming to Delhi so I came with her.”
