She was distracted after hearing meera's confession about raghavan behaviour towards her in the hospital. Moreover, meera's subsequent questions further worsened the harshika's dazed mind. Somehow, harshika pacifies meera by fabling some excuses for raghavan absence after she regained consciousness.

After that, harshika showed the way to her room and told meera to come to her room if she needed anything. And then she left meera room after instructing meera once again to refresh.

Then, she went to aarva room to check him. The sound of running water from the bathroom indicated harshika that aarva had not finished bath yet. Therefore, she turned to walk out of his room, thinking that she would come back after a while.

Harshika came out of aarav's room and spotted grandma who is standing in front of the aarav room. Harshika smiled by seeing grandma and enquired grandma in a smooth tone,

“Grandma, do you want anything ?. Why you are standing here ?.”

Grandma plastered a fake smile on her face as she replied harshika,

“ Nothing dear. I just came to see you. Are you free now ?. Can you come with me to my room now if you are free ?.”

Harshika narrowed her eyes in perplexment by hearing grandma words. However, harshika agreed to go grandma room with the thought that grandma is asking her to come to her room to talk about something important.

“ Yes grandma, I'm free. Come, let's go.”

After saying it, harshika held grandma and begin to walk towards grandma room. Grandma walked with harshika quietly without speaking anything to harshika. Harshika looked at grandma face often to find out grandma thoughts, but she couldn't quite make out what was the matter. By seeing sadness on grandma face, she understood that something is bothering the grandma.

As harshika and grandma passed the room where she saw the mysterious girl when she fell down on the floor as the result of raghavan mother rage towards her, harshika eyes automatically sweep over the room and tried to peep into the room. Suddenly, a woman came out of that room with food in her hand as if sensing her gaze and in the way to reply her gaze.

Seeing the woman who came out of the room, harshika suddenly shifted her gaze to the other side and pretended as if she didn't look in that room. However, her's and grandma steps paused when that women called out grandma respectively,

“Parvathi Madam. I requested her countless times to have food, but she is being adamant in her decision. She again and again repeating same dialogue that she don't want to stay here. What should I do now, madam ?”

From the way that women spoke, harshika understood that women are working in RN mansion as helper. Moreover, that women is talking about that mysterious girl. Grandma's reply to the women cast a doubt on harshika mind about raghavan relation with that girl.

“ Okay. You go. I will tell Raghav about this.”

After replying that women, grandmother resumed her steps without realizing harshika confused state. Harshika too walked with grandma as her thoughts are lingered in raghavan and that girl. The curiosity to know about raghavan and that girl relation were intensified. Harshika called out grandma softly and asked her in a meek tone as she pointed out her hand towards the room,

“Grandma. Who is that girl staying in that room. I have never seen that girl here before.”

Grandma understood that harshika was enquiring about whom and how she has mistaken her conversation with helper. Therefore, she replied harshika in the way to clear up her doubt,

“ She is akash wife. She has been staying here for the last one week. That's why you never saw her here before.”

As soon as grandmother uttered the name “akash”, harshika began to suspect that the akash she knew was the same person as the grandma had mentioned. Harshika exhaled a long breath as her mind devasted due to quiries arose on her mind,

Perhaps if the akash that grandmother mentioned and the akash that she knew are the same person, then what happened to lavanya ?.

If the girl in that room was akash wife then what happened to lavanya.

Harshika shook her head in order to dissolve all her suspicions from her mind and voiced out,

“Grandma, who is akash ?.”

By the time, harshika finished saying it, they were close to grandma room. Therefore, grandma replied her as she opened the room door,

“Akash is raghavan cousin. He went abroad to study at an early age, so you didn't get a chance to see him. “

Harshika nodded and walked into the room with grandma absent-mindedly.

Harshika attention turned to grandma when grandma hold her hand and apologized,

“Sorry dear. Saratha should not be behaved like that with you. She is always like this. She only cares about money and status. Even before, she did the same thing. She tormented and chased away raghavan lover maya without giving any importance to her son happiness for the sole reason maya was belonged to middle-class family. Saratha smashed her son's happiness from his life due to her useless pride and status obsession."

Harshika felt uncomfortable while listening to the grandma words because grandma didn't do anything to hurt her. Raghavan mother was the one who insulted and humiliated her. For raghavan mother wrongdoings, grandma apologizing and explaining the reason for raghavan mother harsh behaviour instead of her. When grandma mention raghavan ex -lover, harshika begin to argue with herself about maya's name,

“Oh, it means. Raghavan ex-lover name is maya. I already knew that he had an ex-girlfriend, but now only I got chance to know her name. Nice name !!. Yet, her name is not charming and elegant as my name, harshika.. Harshika. Harshika. Harshika. Harshika.”

Harshika chanted her name over and over in her mind, to prove herself that her name is more charming than maya's. However, somehow harshika attention again turned to grandma when grandma whimpered as she was saying,

“I have longed for many years to see my old grandson who is always kind to others, soft-spoken, don't suppress his emotions in front of me, his carefree and jovial nature. But, no matter what I did, I could not change the pain he hid in his stern face, cold and stone - hearted behaviour. I prayed to god countless times to give me back my old, loving and carefree grandson. Now, he has sent you in my grandson life as an answer to my prayers.”

Hearing everything that grandma was saying, harshika stood with a blanked expression. Her face expressed amazement and bewilderment when grandma stated that her presence brought back happiness in raghavan life. Noticing her stunned expression, grandma continued her statement in the way to make her understand how special she is to raghavan.

“Yes dear. After a long year, I have seen the happiness in his face again since the day he married you. Even you itself feel it from his action. He usually don't plead or apologize to anyone other than his loved ones. For others, he is cold and arrogant but to loved ones, he is soft and loving person. Even he don't mind to leave off his ego for his loved ones. That's my raghu. He is a gem, dear. After many hardships and sufferings, he has found happiness in his life through you. Make sure that the bitter and sad memories that you had with raghavan in the past, do not spoil the love that is blossoming between you now. Arshika dear, you should be with him always. Please don't leave him alone in any situation. I know that he won't get angry with you for any reason, but I am telling you if he gets angry with you, please don't take it seriously, dear. No matter how angry he gets at some times, he will still come back to you in the end because he loves you so much. I can see his love for you in his eyes very clearly. So, understand his feelings and try to live happily with him.”

Although it was very clear to harshika that raghavan loves her through meera and grandma words, she was very determined to confirm it through raghavan whether he loves her or not. Therefore, she consoled grandma and left the room, intending to ask him tonight whether he loves her or not.
