SHAKHI ON BEACH IS HERE!!!!!

They reach at a stunning beach called the Candolim beach. It's an extremely serene and quite beach where all you can hear is the waves strike the rocks.
Waves stretch out until the sky. A sky with clouds and less bright than usual which is a welcome relief. Everyone is "sea struck" on reaching there. And there is that moment of quite and just taking in the beauty.

They go towards the waves. Dip their feet in the cool water. It's so therapeutic. Just to watch as the sand shifts beneath one's feet when the wave touches the land and retreats.

Yash sees a shack near by and says let's buy some cold drinks. Shaurya bhai aap aao mere sath. Bohot saare cans honge naa. Shaurya says mujhe nhi jana kisi aur ko lekar jao. Yash wants to pull Shaurya's leg so he asks Anokhi tum aao. Shaurya's says Anokhi cans kyu uthayegi. Pata hai naa uss par stitches hai. Nhi mein hi aata hoon. Arre maine bas aapka reaction dekhne ke liye kahan Yash bolta hai. Mujhe Goa mein doobke marne ka koi shauk nhi. (Those who know know😂). Yash bolta hai. Shaurya says chal. Yash says chill me and Kanchan will get. Bade Papa says drinks yahan tak pahunchengi naa??
Yash says haan haan but sab pehle preferences toh batao. Half of them say coke cola, some say sprite and so on. They take a head count. And go to get the drinks.

Kitty and Bebo want to try water sports. Pehle drinks le lete hai. And then we will go. Ek ghante mein aa jayenge. Shaurya Anokhi se puchta hai tumhe jana hai? Anokhi says not really. Shaurya says tum theekh ho? Anokhi says sara din puchte rehte ho mein theekh hoon yaa nhi. I am good. Agar mujhe theekh nhi lagega toh sabse pehle aapko hi baatungi. All start staring and smiling. Anokhi and Shaurya get awkward. Shaurya thoda upset ho jata hai aur Kitty ke paas jakar khada ho jata hai . Anokhi wahan jati hai aur bolti hai pyar dikhane se nhi roka hai. Bas kahan chill and let's have fun. Kitty bolti hai sun liya maine. Anokhi bolti hai sun liya toh kya sach hi toh hai naa. And starts laughing. Shaurya also loosens up and says aisi baat hai ab dekho Ms. Bhalla. And he takes water. Anokhi thinks he will splash on her. She stands in anticipation. Shaurya splashes water on an unaware Bebo. Bebo starts splashing water on Shaurya. A splash fest starts. Gayatri remarks bacche ho kya? Kya kar rhe ho. Then before she can say anything Alok has joined in the splash fest. All join and are splashing away water. Anokhi takes advantage of this pandemonium and just puts her hand around Shaurya's waist. And puts a pinch of sand on his nose. Happy belated holi Shaurya. And Shaurya is amazed that he called her by name. He says doobara bolo. She says Shaurya. And then stare for a moment. Before getting back to the splash fest. Yash and Kanchan are back and think what the hell has happened. Devi says agar tum log nhi kat liye hote toh yeh miss nhi hota. And laughs. All just pick up the drinks. And enjoy it admist a fun banter which starts with Alok saying this has been the most fun vacation ever. Shaan says yes we should plan this again and again. Aastha bolti hai kitne saal ho gye Shaurya ko dekh kar. Aur woh bhi itna khush. Pure dil se khush. And she tears up. Shaan says Noor hum dono bhi kitne saal baad sath mein hain naa. But tumhare sath hota hoon toh kuch nhi badla aisa lagta hai. Aastha says hmmm. And they keep looking at each other. They just want to have some time of their own. So they walk away. After all there is so much to catch up. Others see but they don't say anything because they know how many years of separation the two have been through. Even Shaurya sees. And he has a smile on his face. Anokhi says I am glad abhi tumhe koi problem nhi hai unse. Tum unhe apna rhe ho. Shaurya says apna naa toh hoga hi unki student jo meri sabse apni hai.

Kitty and Bebo drag Babli with them. Babli says maine kabhi nhi kia hai yeh. Bebo says toh kya hua. Try karlo. Woh sikhate hai. Dekho wahan ek hot instructor hai. Usse kaho help kare tumhari. Babli looks shocked. Kitty and Bebo feel they may have stretched it too far. Anokhi kehti hai di tu jana. Woh hot instructor ke sath. Mein toh nhi.... Shaurya sun leta hai he says Babli di, di bula sakta hoon apko she says haan. Aap please chale jaiye usse instructor ke sath. Wahin usse pani mein dhakka de dena. Thanda hoke wapas aayega. Anokhi says u are such a j person. I would have gone with you only but I just don't want to stretch my energies neither yours after a recent recovery. And I love being on the beach. Loving the water from afar. Humari intellectual bhabhi Kitty says. Hum chalte hai. Babli di hum set kar denge aapko. Babli di is a bit reluctant but later enjoys the sport.

Devi and Tej sit by the beach. Tej sees Devi writing something on the sand. He sees it is his name. Tej writes his name beside it. And puts a ❤️ in between. He says yaad tha tumhe? Devi says kaise bhool sakti hoon. Yash sees that and says Kanchan tum bhi likho naa mera naam. Kanchan says tumhara naam mere dil pe toh hai naa. Yash says haaye. Tum koi gesture karo toh naa mere liye. Kanchan places a slight peck on Yash's cheek.
Yash gets a call so he goes away for a few minutes. When he walks away he sees on Astha ❤️ Shaan. Smiles and comes back to settle by Kanchan. And sees that in his absence she actually wrote Yash I ❤️ you. Yash smiles toh tumne likh hi diya. Kanchan says haan. And Yash returns the earlier peck. They sit quietly witnessing an epic sunset. Shaurya says Anokhi mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai. Anokhi says kya. He says baithe ho. And she struggles a bit. He says arre nhi please mat baitho. Anokhi says aap decide karlo pehle. He says tum uncomfortable feel kar rhi ho. Mein aise hi batata hoon. Anokhi says aap meri har baat samjh jate ho not fair. Shaurya says haan woh toh samjhna hi hai. And with his toe. He draws Shaurya ❤️ Anokhi. The beach has been marked by love. And as the sun simmered into the sea, love was simmering with even greater intensity in each of their hearts.

Hope you loved it. I think this is the most beautiful part of the entire set of parts. All credits to Goa. I was there this year February and that is what I channeled into this. Before you assume I am single and went with parents😂.

Not saying anything. Too good to ruin with postscript.
