Nancy was standing outside her former home along with Kevin while Freya went inside to get something.

"Kev, what is she doing inside? And why do I have to stand at the door like this?" Nancy asked Kevin, showing the wristwatch on her wrist.

Freya took a while to come out with a tray of some flowers and incense sticks. Both the siblings looked at her surprisingly as she performed an aarti by rotating the tray round and round around her and threw some handful flowers on her.

The siblings laughed at her “Freya, are you alright? What is wrong with you? And what’s all this?” Nancy asked while entering inside the house.

Nancy hugged Freya tightly. "Freya! I missed you!"

Freya broke the hug and teased her, "Really! You missed me so much in just one day? Hmm, it seems Mark didn't take good care of our Nancy, right, Kevin?"

"No, Freya. He's very nice. He took care of me so well. See, he even gifted me this sari," Nancy said in her chirpy voice. They couldn't help but laugh at her innocence.

They all settled on the couch, talking and laughing, when Freya asked Kevin, "Don't you have to go to the office?"

Kevin pursed his lips and said, "No, my boss ordered me to spend the whole day with my sister." Freya mouthed an "Oh" while Nancy giggled.

"Nancy!" Someone's loud voice made all three of them turn their heads toward the entrance.

"Eric! Dahlia! Oh my god!" Nancy jumped out of her seat and pounced on them.

Kevin and Freya also stood up and welcomed them.

"Missed you, bro! Yesterday when you left, we thought maybe we wouldn't see you soon," Eric said, hugging her back.

Then they pulled away. "Oh, freak, this dress? Where did you get this dress? It’s a limited edition Gucci dress" Dahlia said in amusement.

Nancy blew on her nails as if they were some masterpiece. "I know I know darling, This is the first gift I received from my husband and as you know my husband already I guess you should understand the rest"

Dahlia grin in happiness,

“Should I tell you more?” Nancy asked Dahlia to which she nodded in positive.

“He got me an personal stylist”

"What! No way, you have a personal stylist?" Dahlia freaked out, wrapping her arms around her chest.

Nancy smirked mischievously at her reaction.

"Eh! You two are just unbelievable!" Eric broke their trance, nodding his head negatively, while everyone burst out in laughter.

After some time, Nancy and her friends settled in her room while Kevin and Freya excused themselves.

Later that evening, the family gathered in the living room for a special prayer session to welcome Nancy and celebrate her return home. The room was filled with the soft glow of candles, and everyone joined hands in a circle. Kevin led the prayer, thanking God for Nancy's safe return and praying for happiness and prosperity in her new life. The atmosphere was serene and filled with love, making Nancy feel deeply cherished and blessed.

After spending a lot of time with Nancy, Dahlia and Eric left. Kevin also went to take a bath. Now it was just Nancy and Freya left in Nancy's room.
