Siddharth banged the door harshly over their faces not wanting to yell at his mom more. He has never talked in a raised tone with his mom ever till it matters to that man.
Ishu stood there rooted seeing the room door. Tears flowed from her eyes.
"Aunty, don't cry. Please. Why are you taking his words seriously?" Maddy raised his voice as Sid kept his ears over the door to listen to them. Maddy continues his drama.
"Please aunty, Sid can't see you crying like this," Maddy spoke as Sid opened the door, instantly startling everyone. Sid looked at Maddy and couldn't find Ishu anywhere. He asked Maddy through his eyes. Maddy was signalling him continuously but Sid didn't pay any attention to him.
"What? Where is Ishu?" Siddharth asked Maddy as he peeped the left side to see if she was there or not. Soon a jug of water was splashed over his face, startling him. He wiped it and looked at his mom who stood there with a bucket full of water and jug.
Guess Maddy was signalling that only.
Ishu was seething in anger as her hair was messed up totally and she took another jug of water and splashed it over him knowingly.
"It should be my turn to get angry. What's this new drama?" Siddharth asked as Ishu splashed one more jug of water making his words die at the end.
"Ishu" Sid closed his eyes and called his mom in a calm and composed tone but Ishu splashed another jug of water making him sit on the floor giving up.
"I am your mom. Not your girlfriend to run behind you to ask for an apology. Got it?" Ishu yelled at him as she took the entire bucket and emptied it over him.
"And you can't call him a selfish jerk. He is my husband and your father. Don't you dare to forget this fact? I will kill you next time you disrespect him in front of me" she yelled again and threw the empty bucket over his head and banged her room door making Sid smile at her. She is too cute at times like this.
She always consoles him whenever he gets angry. But it seems the tables have changed and she demands attention. Consoling this Ishu is a big bang theory to get understood. He sighed tiredly and stood up with a mission to console his mom.
"You can clean this and go back to your home. Don't wait for me. We shall meet tomorrow" Sid announced as Maddy stood up taking up the work. He always becomes a slave to clean up the mess created by this mad mom and son. Maddy smiled and started cleaning everything. His mom is very clever as she left the home as soon as she witnessed Ishu's anger mode. His mom needs an earful today. Thinking to himself, Maddy cleaned everything.
Siddharth entered the room with the plate of food. Maybe feeding her would melt her instantly.
"It should be me who has the right to be angry. But it's okay. Let's forget everything and clean this fight. Have this" Siddharth took a morsel and forwards it to Ishu while she turned her face to her left side showing her annoyed state. Sid sighed tiredly.
"I don't need your food" she replied annoyingly.
"fine. Whatever you wish" he kept the plate aside and turned to the right side. Time passed as both didn't even look at each other.
"Okay fine. I am sorry" Siddharth mumbled as he knew he can't let this fight prolong for more time. He can't see his mom like this.
"Sorry for what?" Ishu asked, turning to his side.
"Sorry for getting angry at a concrete reason. The mistake may be yours but I shouldn't have shouted at you." He replied with a smirk making her widen her eyes. That's so mean.
"I should tell you that the way of apologising also you have inherited from your dad" before she could finish, he tossed the roti inside her mouth making her all annoyed. He just hates talking about his dad.
"Will you ever forgive him?" Ishu asked in her soft tone after finishing her food.
"Never in my lifetime" Sid replied and stood up abruptly not wanting to show his vulnerable side to his mom. She must have broken down seeing that.
"You haven't ever asked about his name too?" Ishu asked with a little hope that if he ever asks her, she would happily reveal that his favourite actor is his dad. But the love he is having for his favourite actor would turn to hatred if he comes to know that he is his dad.
"Name? What will I do with it?" Sid asked with a dry chuckle? And left the room leaving behind Ishu to sulk alone.
Sid never wanted Ishu to know that he had overheard the conversation of Ishu with Neha about his dad as to how he asked his mom to stay hidden. But back then, Sid couldn't understand the reason. He heard half of the matter and that's how he didnt know that his father was an actor. He heard how she felt when he asked her that. He heard how Ishu was broken to see her love die in front of her. He heard how Ishu had to choose this path as she couldn't stay with him to get hurt daily.

Mishty woke up in a bright mood as she started checking out her new dresses in the wardrobe. She doesn't need any special reason to dress up. But today she wanted to look so pretty and cute. She chose a light baby pink prom dress that ends in her thighs. She adorned herself with black boots to cover her slender legs.
With little makeup, she looked gorgeous and she loved the way she carried herself.
"I have reached" she messaged the person and entered the campus with a small smile.
"Wow, that's a pleasure to meet you again." Ishu hugged Mishty. She didn't think that Mishty would come to the event without any attitude. Mishty loves Ishu's company so much that she doesn't want to miss this opportunity to meet her again.
"Aunty, you look. splendid" Mishty couldn't help but voice out her thoughts. No one can take their eyes off of Ishu. She looked too smart and cute in that simple saree. The big earrings she chose for the saree is the main point highlighting her features. Ishu tried not to look unique but the sole thing that made her look too unique.
"Not more than you" Ishu replied with a wink as Mishty lowered her eyes. Getting compliments for looks is always a girl's favourite.
The duo had a great time together as they explored the college together. Ishu introduced Mishty to all her colleagues and in turn, they all asked her if Mishty is her daughter? Their bond was something magical that was formed instantly.
Mishty sat over the front row. She looked around and could see how the students easily mingled with Ishu and we're taking pictures with her. Maybe she is their favourite teacher. The event went smoothly and diligently
Ishu gets on the stage at last to deliver a vote of thanks to all. Once she said good morning, everyone shouted and cheered for Ishu, making Mishty widen her eyes. She thought only a few students are her favourite but seeing the crowd's happiness, it's evident that the whole college students are Ishu's pet.
"Can you ask them to keep quiet?" One of the heads who came to attend the cultural event spoke in an irritated tone.
"Sorry, sir. My students are a little energetic." Ishu apologised and turned to the crowd and eyed them to keep quiet. They listened instantly and sat there in complete silence. Other teachers are jealous of this nature only. The students listened to Ishu easily whereas they had to shout at them to make them listen.
After the speech, Ishu gets down the stage.
"Wow, what a beautiful voice" Ishu could hear the comment behind her. She sighed tiredly and ignored the comment and walked towards Mishty.
Precap:
Mishty Slaps Sid.
