"thank god Akshu! main bach gyi" Shriya shouted. "bach gyi? kyu kya hua?", Akshu said with a laugh. 

"aree yarr you know, 1 week pehle meri bhai ki shaadi thi, toh usme my mom dad invited their business friend...aur unka ek beta hai, yk mere mummy papa usse meri shaadi ki baat karne wale the lekin meri intership ki wajah se main apne bhai ki shadi mein jaa nhi payi but atleast main shaadi se bach gyi", Shriya replied.

"Ooo toh ye baat hai but still yarrr tune use dekha hai?" Akshu asked. "nhi...but bhai ki reception mein mujhe jana padega then i'll be able to see him....aur agar wo hot & handsome huaa toh I'll agree to marry him", Shirya said. 

Akshara laughed and said, "achaa, jara photo toh maang uski, main bhi toh dekhun meri best friend kiske sath shaadi ki baat karne jaa rhi"

"photo nhi....reception mein toh tujhee bhi aana hai" Shirya said. "main? pagal hai kyaa Shiryu, main kya karungi aake" Akshu said. "areee Akshu! mom dad and bhaii ne tujhe aane ko bola hai bss", Shriya said. 

"but Shriyu! main wahan akele kya karungi" Akshu asked. "bss Akshu! agar tu nhi aayi na toh meri mummy mujhe bhi nhi aane dengi....promise kar tu aayegi", Shriya laughed and said. 

"acha thik hai promise, main aa jaungi....waise kahan hai tere bhai ki reception?". "Udaipur!" Shriya said, stood up and left. 

Shriya's voice echoed in Akshara's ears. "Udaipur? m-main wapas Udaipur nhi jaa sakti.....lekin Shriyu ko promise kiya hai, kahin mera past? nhi nhi...main Abhimanyu se move on karna chahti hun bas....wo toh usi din kar chuka tha jab maine use manaa kiya tha (sigh) ek din ki hi baat hai...I'll go!", Akshu murmured.

"jise jo sochna hai soche maa, i  don't care! but ab main nhi jaunga" Abhi said. "dekh kal toh unki beti aayegi....pichli baar tu usse mil nhi paaya tha....plz Abhi apni maa ki baat nahi manega?", Manjari said.

"acha ok ok fine, but just a meeting ok? no final decision", Abhimanyu said. "han han bet a jaisi teri marzi", Manjari said with a smile.

                     Akshara & Shriya finally reached Udaipur

"Akshu! yahan toh tera ghar bhi hai na? aree haan main toh bhul hi gyi thi", Shriya said. "hmm! my hometown & .....nevermind", Akshu said with a smile. She could feel Abhimanyu's presence in Udaipur.

"toh tu apne ghar jayegi?",  Shriya asked. Akshu denied and said, "nhi Shriyu....as you know main agar wapas ghar gyi toh..." 

"hmm hmm i know it, acha chal tu mere ghar chal" Shriya said and held Akshara's hand. A car was there to pick them. They reached Shirya's house.

"Shriyuu! my beautiful girl is home" Shriya's dad shouted in ecstasy. "papa! i love youh" 

"Tum Akshara ho na?" Shriya's mom asked. Akshu nodded and touched her feet. "khush raho! tumhari bohot tareef suni hai maine, tumne Shriyu ke breakup ke time use jis tarah sambhala, main bohot khush hun beta....tum bohot hi achi ladki ho....aao humne tumhara room sab ready karke rakhaa hai", Shriya's mom said and caressed Akshara's hair. This touch made Akshara felt like her own mom, she was happy to be treated this nicely at Shriya's home.

"Thank you so much aunty! aap apne guests ka kitna khyal rakhti hain", Akshu said. "chup! tum guest nhi ho beta.....tum toh meri beti jaisi hi ho, jaise Shriya hai waise hi tum ho", Shriya's mom said with a smile. Akshara was delighted to listen her words. 

"Shriyu! dekh is baar toh tu Birlas se mil hi le" Shriya's mom said. "fine mumma! i'll see" Shriya said and left to spend sometime with his brother & bhabhi. Akshara slept while thinking of her family & Abhimanyu, as she was really tired.
