Anisha looked at Karuna with a little hesitation and said softly,
"Karuna aunty… I need a small favor from you, if that's okay."
"Of course," Karuna replied with a warm smile.
"Tell me what kind of help you need. If it's in my power, I'll definitely help."
In Jindal Mansion, apart from Mahi, Karuna was the only one who treated Anisha nicely.
The rest of the family didn't just behave coldly—they barely spoke to her at all.
Honestly, Anisha didn't care much about it anymore.
"Can you please give me this water to take to Dadi?" Anisha asked.
Karuna looked at her, slightly confused.
Seeing that confusion, Anisha quickly explained,
"I mean… I need to talk to Dadi about something important.
If you help me like this, it'll be easier for me to speak to her."
She paused for a moment and then added honestly,
"You already know no one in this family likes me. So talking to them is… difficult."
Karuna nodded in agreement.
"You're right. And if you want to fix this new relationship with the family, I'll stand by you."
"Now go," Karuna said gently, placing the water tray in Anisha's hands.
"Give this to Maaji. And remember—she isn't bad at heart, just very old-school.
So if she says something harsh, don't take it personally."
She lovingly patted Anisha's head.
Anisha smiled faintly, nodded, and walked toward Grandmother's room with the water.
Inside Grandmother's Room
Anisha stood there holding the empty tray, while Grandmother drank water and glared at her at the same time.
Anisha tried again and again to say something—but no words came out.
The way Grandmother was staring made her extremely uncomfortable.
Every instinct told her to run away.
But she couldn't.
After all, she needed Grandmother's permission to go to Arora Mansion.
God… how do I even talk to her?
Please help me, Anisha prayed silently.
After finishing the water, Grandmother placed the glass down and said coldly,
"I asked Karuna to bring water. So why did you come instead?"
Actually, when Anisha entered, Grandmother hadn't even looked at her.
She had picked up the glass assuming it was Karuna.
And Grandmother had a habit—she never left water unfinished.
That's why she asked the question only after the glass was empty.
"Karuna aunty got busy with some work," Anisha replied softly.
"So she asked me to give you the water."
Grandmother's eyes hardened.
"I think you've forgotten what I told you this morning," she said sharply.
"But that's okay—I'll remind you."
"I clearly said you are not the daughter-in-law of this family.
So you don't need to do any of these things."
"Dadi," Anisha replied calmly,
"I remember everything you said."
"And I also know you may never like me."
"But Arvik gave me a place in this house… and the status of his wife.
If I don't take care of his family, that would be wrong."
Grandmother twisted her lips in disgust.
"Take care of the family?" she scoffed.
"Girl, do you really think you can take care of this family?"
"You're the daughter of someone who broke a family apart—and you'll protect one?"
Anisha felt anger boiling inside her—but she controlled herself.
She knew arguing would only make things worse.
Grandmother continued ruthlessly,
"Your presence here is unbearable for me—even for one second."
"So get out of my sight right now."
"Or it won't take me even one second to throw you out of this house."
"Now leave. And don't ever dare to enter my room again."
That was it.
Anisha didn't have the courage to stay there anymore.
She immediately walked out.
As soon as Anisha turned toward the kitchen—
Janki, who had been hiding near Grandmother's room, stepped out.
With a sly smile, she muttered,
"Good. At least my words had some effect on Mummy ji."
"I was actually scared she might accept her today."
With that, Janki walked back to her room—satisfied.
Meanwhile, at Arora Mansion
Mahesh and Sheetal were sitting on the sofa, their faces tense and pale.
Both looked deeply disturbed.
Something was clearly wrong.
So tell me 👀
What do you think happened at Arora Mansion that left Mahesh and Sheetal so shaken?
And will Anisha finally go there—or will something stop her again?
