As the couple entered home, Krishna greeted them" Good morning!"
And enquired about Anisha's injury, "Aunt, how are you now? Is everything alright ? What did the doctors say?"
Listening to Krishna's rapid-fire questions Anisha smiled and said, " Hang on Krishna one at a time, and for your query I am alright now. It's just minor injuries and a fracture"
"Now let's sit down and talk !!"
Krishna, realizing that he had forgotten his aunt was a patient, became embarrassed and led his aunt to sit in the living room.
Viraj, on seeing Anisha leave with Krishna, headed to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.
Later Krishna got up to wake up Keerthu who was still asleep from exhaustion.
"Keerthu~~ wake up it's getting late" said Krishna as he was waking the little one from her slumber.
Soon Keerthu woke up and began to get ready to head down.
Viraj finished setting up the table as one by one all came down to have breakfast.
As they all sat down to have their fill, Viraj spoke up addressing Krishna," Krishna, isn't your college going to start soon?"
"Yes, Uncle it's going to start in a week!" Said Krishna as she lifted his gaze to meet his uncle's.
Viraj, on learning that Krishna's first day of college is so soon, enquired his plans on his stay and travel to university,"Then, where are you planning on staying? It's a bit far from home, don't you think?"
"Well~, Actually Uncle I was planning to travel to and fro, from the university to home!" Said Krishna with determination in his gaze towards his uncle as he did not want to leave Keerthu and go live in the dormitory.
"Isn't it going to be a burden for you to travel that much on a daily basis? Krishna" said Anisha interjecting the conversation between Viraj and Krishna.
"It's not a big issue, Aunt I just do not want to stay in the dormitory for now!!!" Replied Krishna without wavering his decision on travelling to the university.
"Well, It's your decision, then what about the materials and supplies you need?shall we go to purchase them with you?" Asked Anisha.
"It's fine aunt, you need not worry, I will go in the afternoon to purchase the stationery and other necessitates and also at the same time purchase Keerthu's too as she would also need to go to school soon" Kirshna said as he turned his gaze towards keerthu who was absentmindedly eating breakfast.
Upon hearing her name, Keerthu shifted her attention from food to Krishna.
As Krishna noticed her gaze shift towards him, he asked her, "would you like to come with me to shop for school supplies?"
"Ok!" Keerthu replied with no particular interest in it but still felt the need to go.
Viraj interjected and asked, "shall I come with you guys?"
"No need uncle I can manage it, you can stay with aunt who would kind of need a helping hand" came a reply from Krishna who did not want to be a burden on his uncle.
"Ok then, but don't hesitate to call me if there is any need." Said Viraj.
"Yes, uncle" after saying this everyone focused on eating.

After breakfast was over and everyone went on with their time Anisha went to her study and began with her work. After some time she made a call to Dakshin, "How is everyone right now Dakshin? ",
"All is good now ma'am. The condition has stabilized faster, and all are getting ready to start work soon." came a reply from Dakshin.
"That's good and make sure they are compensated for all medical expenses and give them hazard pay as well. Give them a paid day off tomorrow to rest and resume their work from the day after tomorrow." said Anisha with a gentle tone and concern.
"Yes ma'am" replied Dakshin with all loyalty.
"And also assign some men who could guard the kids, myself and my husband within the shadows." Anisha said with authority and concern in her tone.
"Yes ma'am. I will assign them ASAP!"
"Did you find any information on who attacked me?" Anisha enquired with rage in her tone and her demeanor changed.
"Well ma'am the information is getting hard to obtain, they are covering their tracks very well without any leads, every trace leads to a dead end." Said Dakshin with all his professionality.
"Urgh!!! Keep on trying to find any leads!!" Anisha said with anger and frustration evident in her voice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, in the evening Keerthu and Krishna went on with their shopping spree.
They bought some clothes, books, stationary, shoes, etc.
As they were busy shopping, there were constant lingering gazes fixed on them. Tracking every move they make without anyone noticing. This surveillance is being done by the men appointed by Anisha.
Unknown to them, there was another person who is also tracking them both the men and the kids.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After their shopping spree ended Keerthu and Krishna went to a nearby restaurant to have dinner.
And then they came home, safely without any issues.
After coming home, they both bid the aunt and uncle couple's a good night and retired to bed.
