It's been six months since Akshara had started living in Birla House. She couldn't be happier than this. The Birla's treated her like the princess. She didn't know she could smile this much. Today she is extra happy because her best friend is in town for a whole week. Due to his studies, they didn't meet much but it didn't affect their friendship. In fact, after coming to Birla House they are closer than before.

Nishtha and Akshara are whispering with each other while sitting at the breakfast table. "Cutie, tu baat kr. They will never deny you", whispered Nistha.

"I don't know sweetie. Tujhe pta hai mujhe yeh sab acha nhi lagta hai. Tu baat kr na please",  whispered Akshara.

"No way. Meri mom kabhi allow nhi kregi. Tu toh chachu ki favourite hai woh tujhe kabhi mna nhi krenge",  whispered Nishtha.

"Yeh tum dono itni der se kya khusr-pusur kr rhi ho", asked Abhi.

"Kaun Abhi, tum kiski baat kr rhe ho", said Akshara innocently. She pretended that she did not know what Abhimanyu was talking about.

"Akshu, itni innocent banane ki koshish mat kro. Tum bhool gyi ho shayad ki I know you better than you", said Abhi.

"Hihi Abhi kya bol rhe ho tum, mai tum se kya chupaoongi",  said Akshara. She did not look towards Abhimanyu. Her whole focus is on food.

Nishtha pinches her friend and whispers "Bol na Akshu. Please". Akshara glared at her but Nistha pleaded with her through her eyes.

"Harsh uncle mujhe apse kuch poochna tha", said Akshara. Abhimanyu looked at Akshara suspiciously. He knew something was cooking in her mind.

"Haa beta bol na. Kya baat hai. Kuch chahiye kya", said Harsh immediately.

"Haa ek permission chahiye thi", said Akshara.

"Permission, kaisi permission beta", asked Harsh.

"Uncle woh apko toh pta hai mujhe History mai kitni problem hoti hai, toh mai aur Nishtha apne friend ke ghar chale jayein group studies krne ke liye", said Akshara.

"Kaun sa friend?" asked Abhi.

"Bhai aap nhi jante use. Yeh abhi kuch time pehle hi friend bna hai", replied Nishtha.

"Kaun sa friend Akshu", asked Abhi. He looked directly at Akshara.

"Rohan. Rohan Khanna", replied Akshara hurriedly.

"Yeh kon sa friend hai. Maine toh pehle kabhi iska naam nhi suna hai", said Neil while eating his breakfast.

"Kyuki yeh abhi kuch time pehle hi humara friend bna hai. Tu khane pr concentrate krna Neil. Humari batoin pr dhyan mat de", said Akshara.

Neil made faces at her and concentrated on his food.

"Pr mujhe aisa kyu lag rha hai ki maine iska naam khi suna hai. Kha suna hai iska naam. Yaad kr Abhi, yaad kr", mumbled Abhi. He can't place it where he heard that name.

"Uncle hum dono jaye kya uske ghar. Exams ane wale hai toh bahut sara course krna hai abhi", said Akshara. She made a puppy face. Harsh could never deny her anything after she made that face.

Abhimanyu looked at his father and shook his head. He didn't want them to go to any stranger's house.

"Beta mai kya soch rha tha ki tum log apne friend ko yha kyu nhi bula lete", said Harsh. Abhi smiled.

"Yha pr kaise uncle", said Akshara.

"Yha pr kyu nhi Akshu. Itna bda ghar hai humara, tum yha pr hi bula lo us Rahul ko", said Abhi.
