"Akshara woh man gayi aane ke liye? Tumlog aarahe hona? hum sab log bohot besabri se intezaar kar rahe Naira se milne ke liye. baas tumlog aajao phir sab theek hojayega!" Devyani said over phone call.

Akshara "Maa woh.. Naira.." She was trying to tell them the truth that Naira was not actually coming.

Babhi Maa "Kya hua beta?"

Ak "Maa woh..."

"toh woh nahi mani. usse humesha apni karni hoti hai. uske liye uski family matter bhi karti hai ya nahi? uska dukh hum samajthe hai. Par zindegi mein aghe bhi badhna hota hai. Ya ek hi cheez ko leke baith gayi. usne time liya wo bhi 3 saal. ab bhi agar uske liye uski dukh apni family ki khushi se badkar hai toh usse aane ki koi zarurat nahi hai!" Rajshi Nani sternly spoke while she was also hurt.

Akshara "Maa aap baat toh suniye." She tried explaining but they cut the call.

Akshara just kept phone on table and saw naira who was teary. She could understand her daughter's emotions. Guilty and hurt the girl was.

Akshara "bacha aisa kuch sochne ki zarurat nahi hai. Tumhe pata hai na Nani tumse kitna pyaar karti hai. isliye unone gusse mein kaha. unka vo matlab nahi tha. Hum tumhe force nhi karenge." She said caressing Naira's head. Naira just nodded not fully convinced actually.

Goenka house,

Singhania family entered into the house with a invitation card. Kartik saw them coming. He ran to meet his Nani first.

K "Nani! What a present surprise!" He just hugged her.

Rajshi "Can't we come without informing?"

K "Of course!" Then He greeted everyone politely.

"Nani I think mujhe pata hai aap kyu ayi hai.." Kartik said curiously while they got seated in the living area.

Rajshi "Achha? Toh batao!"

K "Nani come on! I can't forget your birthday."

Rajshi "I knew it" she chuckled pulling his cheeks.

Everyone smiled seeing their bond.

Rajshi "kal gharpe pooja rakhi hai. birthday ka kya hai vo toh bacho ne zid ki isliye. Toh aap sab log aajana."

K "okay Nani..hum zarur ayenge. Main apki baat kaise tal sakta hoon." He said smiling.

Rajshi "kash sab aise hi sochte." Everyone understood her meaning including Kartik.

"Toh hum chalte hai.."

Mishti "wow! Kal Kitna maza ayega nah Kal taiji aur taujii bhi aarhe hai. puri family ek saath." She said being excited.

Everyone got surprised listening this. Especially Kartik! He was on cloud nine.*y'all know why*

He looked at his Nani to confirm if it was actually true. Is she coming for real?

Rajshi didn't want to give him false hopes so she cleared it before he gets overwhelmed.

"Haan Akshara aur Naitik kal wapas aarahe." Kartik mentally slapped his heart for misunderstanding the situation.

"Why would she come? She doesn't love you anymore." He thought disheartened.

Nani assured him before leaving that she would surely come. And Singhania family took a leave.
