The sun was just about to rise, and it was a glorious morning. As the waves crashed at my feet, I could smell the salty breeze. I witnessed love, confidence, and warmth as the sun rose, and I knew that today was the beginning of something wonderful. When Prem saw me, he looked at me lovingly. I fell in love with him because of his eyes, but nothing had ever made me feel this way until I saw his smile. He was the college girls' favorite, and because of his attractiveness and athleticism, all the guys wanted to be him. But it was his sweet and gentle personality—one that only those who knew him well could recognize—that made me fall in love with him. I reflect on the current circumstance as I made the choice to allow Sadhana to meet Vivek so that we could help her in sorting things out. " Prem, aaie is parivaar ko vaapas ek saath laen. Hum Vivek bhaiya aur Sadhu didi ko milane aur mudde ko sulajhaane de sakate hain. Bas meri yojana par kaayam raho(Let's get this family back together. We can let Vivek bhaiya and Sadhu didi meet and resolve the issue. Just stick to my plan.)" Prem smiled as he answered. "Thatś my Preeti!Chalo abhi yah karate hain aur Mumbai ke liye train pakadate hain(Let's do it right now and board a train for Mumbai.)" Preeti and Prem ran to meet Sadhana didi to convince her. "No means no! Vivek aur main phir kabhi nahi mil paayenge. Parinaamasvaroop use keval duhkh hi mahasoos hoga(Vivek and I won't ever be able to meet again. He will only feel sorrow as a result.)" As Sadhana knelt beneath her, Preeti seized her hands. "Di, please. Hum Vivek ko badalaav ke liye manaane ja rahe hain kyonki hum jaanate hain ki vah aapako kitana yaad karata hai. Aap apani bahan ki pyaari nigaahon ke aage jhuke bina nahi rah sakate, kya aap aisa kar sakate hain(Are going to convince Vivek to change because we are aware of how much he misses you. You can't help but give in to your sister's cute gaze, can you?)"As she spoke, Sadhana didi sighed. "Mujhe lagata hai, sirf aap logon ke liye. Lekin agar vah hamaara return sveekaar karane mein jhijhak raha hai to ise mujh par haavi na hone den(Just for you guys, I guess. But don't hold it against me if he's hesitant to accept our return.)" Prem joined them as Preeti flung her arms around her sister in a bear embrace. They all board a train to Mumbai as Preetiś hair flies. Prem decided it was time to sing a song after a whole year of silence.

Hindi:
Hum joh chalne lage
Chalne lage hai yeh raaste
Aa ha ha ... manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hai yeh raaste
Hum joh chalne lage
Chalne lage hai yeh raaste
Aa ha ha ... manzil se behtar

Aao kho jaye hum
Ho jaye hum yoon lapata
Aao milo chale
Jana kahan na ho pata
Hum joh chalne lage
Chalne lage hai yeh raaste
Aa ha ha ... manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hai yeh raaste
Baithe baithe aaise kaise
Koi rasta naya sa mile
Tu bhi chale main bhi chaloon
Honge kam yeh tabhi faasle
Baithe baithe aaise kaise
Koi rasta naya sa mile
Tu bhi chale main bhi chaloon
Honge kam yeh tabhi faasle
Aao tera mera
Na ho kisi se vaasta
Aao milo chale
Jana kahan na ho pata
Hum joh chalne lage
Chalne lage hai yeh raaste
Aa ha ha ... manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hai yeh raaste
Thani, kahin kahin main samjao
Thani, kahin kahin main samjao

Aankhen khole neendein bole
Jaane kaisi jagi bekhudi
Yahan wahan dekho kahan
Leke jaane lagi bekhudi
Aankhen khole neendein bole

Jana kahan na ho pata
Hum joh chalne lage
Chalne lage hai yeh raaste
Aa ha ha ... manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hai yeh raaste
Sajni, sajni tumhe mat jaani ho
Preeth ke yeh dukhi ho
Lagani dhandhora ek din
Preeth na kario

When we started walking
These roads also started to walk
Aa ha ha ... better than the destination
These roads now seem to be
When we started walking
These roads also started to walk
Aa ha ha ... better than the destination
These roads now seem to be
Come let's get lost
Let's get lost so that we go missing
Come let's walk for miles
Without knowing where we want to go
When we started walking
These roads also started to walk
Aa ha ha ... better than the destination
These roads now seem to be
By sitting just like that
How will we find a new path
When we walk together
Only then the distances will reduce
By sitting just like that
How will we find a new path
When we walk together
Only then the distances will reduce
Come on now let's have
No relationship with anyone else
Come let's walk for miles
Without knowing where we want to go
When we started walking
These roads also started to walk
Aa ha ha ... better than the destination
These roads now seem to be
I'll make my eyes understand
I'll make my eyes understand
That I can't live without you
That I can't live without you
Opening my eyes from the sleep
I feel some sort of senselessness
Look here and there
This senselessness is taking me
Opening my eyes from the sleep
I feel some sort of senselessness
Look here and there
This senselessness is taking me
Come we'll find
Wherever there is a path
Come let's walk for miles
Without knowing where we want to go
When we started walking
These roads also started to walk
Aa ha ha ... better than the destination
These roads now seem to be
Beloved, my beloved you don't know this
That your lover is unhappy
One day your wedding procession
Your lover won't be bringing
Sadhana was inspired by Prem's incredible voice. "Prem, you'll definitely become a famous singer someday. Bas apani aavaaj suno, yaar(Just listen to your voice, man.)" They all laugh in what seems like a million years as he flushes. After arriving in Mumbai, they nervously knocked on Vivek's door because nobody was prepared but they felt the time had come. When he sees the three of them, he opens the door abruptly and seems shocked. "Aap sab is sthaan par kyon hain(Why are you all in this place?) Sadhana..." As he at last recognized his wife, his breath was taken away. Tears poured from their faces when both of their eyes were contacted. "Tumane mujhe kyon nahi bulaaya?(Why haven't you called me?)" He responded in a furious manner. "Mainne tumhen kai baar phone kiya, lekin tumane kabhi javaab nahi diya(I called you so many times, but you never answered.)" She then responded. "I believed you weren't ready!Vaapas aane ke baad, mujhe laga ki main aapake jeevan mein ek baar phir pareshaani banoonga(After I come back, I figured I'd be a hassle in your life once more.)" He cradled her against his chest and started crying again. "Sadhu-Aapaki koi galati nahi thi. Aap doshi nahi the. Mujhe apane kiye par gahara pachhataava hai(You weren't at fault. You weren't to blame. I deeply regret my actions.)" She responded, her voice breaking. "I'm sorry as well. Saat janmon mein aur unamen se har ek ke baad, main kisi ko dhokha nahi dene ki kasam khaata hoon. Eshvar hamen punah ek saath laate rahen, yahi praarthana hai(In seven lifetimes and after every one of them, I swear not to betray anyone. God should keep bringing us back together, I pray.)" Preeti and Prem wept with happiness as they both tenderly embraced one another. All that remained was for them to bring Mummy Ji back. However, they initially arranged to meet Anjana at Anand's home since they believed their strength would be in numbers. Anand and Sangeeta were overjoyed at their reunion as they told everything to them. "Anjana, hamaari beti, kya vah tum ho(Anjana, our daughter, is that you?)" Although Anjana was a toddler, she still recalled her parents and ran to greet them. Vivek was overjoyed to finally meet his daughter. He was happier since she resembles her mother. To go to the Joshi family mansion, the entire family traveled all the way to Mumbai. Sapna was the one to answer the door when they eventually rang the doorbell. Her eyes welled up with tears as she saw her entire family, whom she loved, embrace one another. Vinod was astounded by their arrival and simultaneously overjoyed and saddened. "Mummy Papa kahaan hain(Where are Mummy and Papa?)" As they were being escorted into their room, they witnessed the most unbelievable incident ever. Mahima spent several months bedridden because she was so repentant about how she had split the family apart. Raj switched his attention to them when he was by her bedside. As everyone sobs, he ran to embrace them in his arms. Sadhana was devastated by what occurred because Mahima had earned her forgiveness for being her mother-in-law. "Mummy Ji." Mahima's hand starts to tremble as soon as she finished speaking. Everyone was stunned by her movement. "Sadhana beti." They both started crying with joy as she wrapped her arms around her. Raj was aware that today was the best day of his life. "Mujhe sachamuch aphasos hai. Main pratigya karata hoon ki main is parivaar ko kabhi bikharane nahi doonga. Main aapamen se pratyek se pyaar karata hoon. Aap dono, Vivek aur Sadhana, mere asali khajaane hain. Aap logon ke bina, jeevan atyant ekaaki ho gaya hai. Jindagi mein parivaar hi sabase jyaada maayane rakhata hai; dhan, shakti aur dhan vaastav mein khushi nahi laate hain. Saath hi, khushi aur pyaar. Mainne bahut svaarthi tarike se kaam kiya. Please mujhe kshama karen kyonki main haath jodata hoon."(I'm truly sorry. I pledge I won't ever let this family fall apart. I love each of you. You two, Vivek and Sadhana, are my actual treasures. Without you guys, life has been extremely solitary. Only family matters most in life; wealth, power, and riches do not truly bring pleasure. Also, happiness and love. I acted in such a selfish manner. Please pardon me as I fold my hands.)" The others join Vivek in giving his mother a warm hug while he grips his mother's hands.

The heart has brought spring weather
And the love of our dear ones, how great is that
We met and it started to overflow
The intoxication of happiness, how great is that
Today my house is full of smiling faces
Like a blossoming garden, how great is that
Today my house is full of smiling faces
Like a blossoming garden, how great is that
The heart has brought spring weather
And the love of our dear ones, how great is that
We met and it started to overflow
The intoxication of happiness, how great is that
May we keep meeting like this
May this gathering always be decorated like this
May just this one tune of love
Keep on playing morning and evening
May it always have a fragrance
This garland of lovable arms, how great is that
Today my house is full of smiling faces
Like a blossoming garden, how great is that
The heart has brought spring weather
And the love of our dear ones, how great is that
We met and it started to overflow
The intoxication of happiness, how great is that
Today my house is full of smiling faces
Like a blossoming garden, how great is that
Today my house is full of smiling faces
Like a blossoming garden, how great is that
