Adihya and his family got ready for temple visit. Maya then sat in her bed and was waiting for her mother. Aishwerya had dressed up in pink cotton silk saree also had tied her hair to the bun with some flowers around it. Aishwerya saw Maya and asked, “What? Didn’t get ready yet?”

“Ma, just waiting for everyone to get ready.”

“You first shower yourself and come.”

Meanwhile they heard a knock on the door so Maya saw the door which was already open. She found Vasuki and Varun standing there. Aishwerya then asked them to get in so they walked towards them.

Vasuki spoke up, “Maya, A small gift for you.”

Maya got it from her and said,” Ma, What is the need for these formalities? But still thanks ma.”

She then opened the gift while she was doing so Vasuki added, “If you don’t like it then you must scold Varun because it was his choice.”

Maya then saw him and smiled then she continued to open it. She found a beautiful rainbow colors kancheevaram silk saree. She saw Varun, Vasuki and then Aishwerya.

Maya thought,” My God! Saree. This is good but I just hope that they don’t ask me to wear this today.”

Aishwerya took it from her and understood what Maya might be thinking while Varun and Vasuki stood there confused as Maya face neither reflected happiness nor unhappiness.
