It had been 4 days since, abhimanyu saw akshara, their meeting was unpredictable and angsty.

He never thought that his past would come knocking down his life yet again. Deep down he never moved on not he never wanted to,Akshara was his first memory ,a beautiful one.

He never admitted that, he might look all fine but deep down he wanted to see her , once again.

But when he was bestowed with the meet, they had a terrible one.

They last day of the year, despite her presence had no meaning, once again.

.

Birla House was busy with the new year party's preparation.

"Ruhi ko white heei frock chaiye " Abhimanyu heard Ruhi, complaining to shefali, in the living room.

Ruhi was well-raised girl, she had spent most of her time with her 'Poppy'.

Abhimanyu had raised with values of life but somewhere Ruhi was a kid, her childish behavior would become overshadow her wise shade.

"Kya hua, ruhi?" Abhimanyu changed his expression , and walked towards her and took her into his arms.

"Bdi ma bol rhi h ki Ruhi iss baar kuch formal pehengi, pr mujhe white colour ki bdi si frock pheni h" Ruhi tried her best to describe the size of her frock with her stretched hands.

Abhimanyu passed assured glance to Shefali and he took Ruhi to her room and put her to sleep, asking her to take a good nap till he comes back.

Ruhi trusted Abhimanyu more than anyone in the house, she knew it well , if he'd promise her something, he would not disappoint her either.

He tip-toed out of his room and went somewhere.

Here Akshara had a hectic time to adjust herself, back in udaipur, even it meant for few days.

Moreover , Rohan had called saying that he is invited to Birlas' party and he has extra card, he offered her to come along, in course she'll also meet Aarya.

Akshara never wanted to that dysfunctional family.

If abhimanyu had told her hundred of things, the fact that his family is dysfunctional was one and prominent one.

She had no will but she eventually agreed, she wanted to the new shades, of the members, which she had missed years back.

Especially her Manjari ma's , the only one who couldn't be neither with akshara nor with her son, she only chose with situation, ignoring the misery her son went through, everytime.

Akshara had no personally bought clothes, after all ,initially she had no intention to stay back.

She roamed around a few good stores, and finally got herself a gown of her choice.

.

In two hours guests would start marking their presence, and here abhimanyu instead of getting ready , had Blindfolded Ruhi and was getting her ready, the poor child was trying her best to sneak a glance in the mirror but alas!...

Finally after an hour, abhimanyu revealed her look and no words could describe it, just gorgeous.

(Here Ruhi is wearing similar dress as Akshara's white gown from their pre leap Christmas celebration and her hairs are also set as similar)

Abhimanyu adored her smile, her happiness, she was truly happy for what abhimanyu did.

Ruhi waited till abhimanyu came out of his dressing room, he looked dapper in black shirt tucked in, sleeves folded till elbow ,paired with black pants and gelled hairs.

"Ruhi aur poppy rocks, chlo sbki surprise krte h"

Guests had already started coming, Rohan with Aarya and Aashi was also there waiting for Akshara, he knew it will jolting for Birlas but it was needed, he had hope maybe a strong tiff could erase a little misunderstanding and hate between the two. The goenkas and other families were gathering gradually.

While everyone was busy chit-chatting, nishtha's exclaimed voice caught the attention " Wow, Ruhi!! ".

All the members eventually gathered around to see and they were mesmerized too, Abhimanyu and Ruhi looked no less than a prince nor she a princess.

Nishtha exclaimed again, "Ruhi looks like mini version of Akshara bhabhi, hai na?".

Everyone, especially Manjari's smile faded at once, but she forced a smile again. This lady still held akshara responsible for everything that happened years ago.

" Kon .. Akshara? " Ruhi asked out of curosity.

"Koi nhi, roohi" Aarohi interrupted

"Kabhi toh achcha bola kro, nishtha" Mahima retorted. Nishtha gave a guilty smile , she didn't mean to do it intentionally, she just complimented in flow, moreover she always had a Soft corner for her Akshara bhabhi, she had helped her a lot, she didn't had any grudge against her, she knew if they suffered, even she suffered no less.

Abhimanyu had no point to carry on with this topic. He was smiling and looking happy but it never meant he really is. Over the years he found it better to keep it all to himself than to explain to his family in futile .

"Thank you Nishtha, Roohi actually looks pretty like me, I must say" Akshara's voice thundered to every corner of the birla house.

All turned to look at her and were shocked.

"Ye kon h aur meri trh kyu , dress peheni h? " Ruhi didn't cared anything but to ask, this question after a strong resembling of her and akshara's dress.

"Himmat kaisi hui tmhari,yha vapas aane ki? " Manjari shouted at her, recovering from the shock.

"Ghar aaye mehmaan se aise baat nhi krte h, MAM. I have a invitation card and moreover" She walked towards abhimanyu and roohi and took roohi in her arms and said " Ruhi should about her Masi, as well. Haina? "

Ruhi nodded, trying to understand that the new lady was her masi and then akshara turned to abhimanyu and said looking into his eyes "Unn saari baaton mei se ek baat h, abhimanyu, jo tmne ekdm sach kahi thi, ki tmhari family dysfunctional h".

Abhimanyu had no reaction to her words, because to be honest he agreed to her deep down.

Rohan had stopped aashi from approaching Akshara, 'cause something more important he considered as was commencing.

With ruhi in her arms, she walked to manjari and aarohi and said loud enough to heard by the family and not guest "New year ka Dhamakedaar swagat toh ab hoga heei,toh kyu na mehmaano ke jaane ke baad krenge, tb tk, enjoy krte h. "

Then she looked at Ruhi and said "Ruhi needs to know a lot, right bchcha? " With a smile.

The family members gradually, went back to the function not to create a scene in front of the guests, As Akshara proceeded to sit with ruhi in a corner and enjoy, Abhimanyu blocked her way and said "Ruhi bachchi h, usse bdo ke jagde mei mt lao.... Please" His voice was laced with emotions, and undetected fears.

"Sb tmhare jaisa nhi hota ki kisi glti ki sza kisi aur de, I am not you" She said with moist eyes and settled roohi on chair in front of her.

"Toh, roohi, mai aapki mumma, I mean Mata shri ke sister hu, toh mai aapki... " She was cut off by Roohi's spontaneous answer.

"Maasi ho, app"she answered innocently.

" Hmm.... Should I call you as Rooh? It it more cute! " Akshara asked admiring her.

"Even poppy calls me, that. " She soad excitedly.

"You mean abhimanyu?"

"Ha, aap jaante ho poppy ko?" She asked.

"Sbko bhaut achche se jaanti hu, mai"

"Aap mujhse phele kyu nhi milne aayi, mamu ki trh? " She said feigning anger.

"Mamu ki trh, vo aapse nhi milte? " Akshara asked.

"Nhi, vo nhi milne aate, ruhi se, pta nhi kyu, roohi unhe bhaut time phele dekhi thi, vo birthday pe bhi nhi aate roohi ke, bs baat krte h" She complained as any child would.

"Birthday kb h aapka?"

" 24 january ko"

"Mamu aayenge, pkka, aur masi bhi aayegi, " Said akshara Analysing the possible issues behind it.

Then they engaged themselves in a fun chat, talking about each other's liking, places and many more.

While manjari and aarohi still couldn't stand akshara in front of them "pta nhi kya btayegi roohi ko ye? " Manjari worried.

"Bhadkaayegi toh nhi na, ma, akshu; roohi ko hmare khilaaf" Aarohi joined in.

"Tu chinta mt kr" Manjari assured aarohi, overshadowing her own thoughts.

"Mai aati hu" Manjari said and left, as mahima called her to meet one the lady, while aarohi made her way to her work, keeping her thoughts aside.
