Author note:: Like I mentioned previously, I don't have Hotstar and I don't remember clearly how Arshi romance bloomed during the episodes of Payal and Akash's wedding functions. So I'll be skipping those and might add a few scenes in flashback or not.

Alekh sat in front of his laptop as he waited for the video call to connect. Soon, one by one Ali, Pooja, Shalini, Huda, and Yudi joined the call. Everyone greeted each other before focusing on Alekh, who sat silent the whole time.

"Oye Kaidiye, hum sabko video call pe bulakar khud koi baat kyu nehi kar raha hai tu?" Huda asked playfully

"Oye Kaidiye, hum sabko video call pe bulakar khud koi baat kyu nehi kar raha hai tu?" Huda asked playfully. [Why aren't you talking after video calling all of us?]

"Haa, Cadet. Kya baat hai? Hum sabko itna urgent call kyu kiya?" Dr. Shalini asked her former student. [Yes, Cadet. Why did you call us so urgently?]

"Apun ko tum sabko kuch batana ka hai..." Alekh started with a grimace. He didn't know how his friends would react as the news that he had hidden for more than 20 years. [I have something to tell you guys.]

"Alekh, tere handset pe koi virus ghus gaya hai kya?" Pooja inquired, concerned for her friend. [Alekh, is there a virus in your handset?]

"Virus nahi hai... bas tum logo ki system me ek purana notification dena tha." Alekh replied. [There is no virus... I just need to send you guys an old notification.]

"Alekh bhai, aap pareshan lag rahe hai. Kya baat hai?" Ali asked patiently. [Alekh, you look worried. What is it?]

"Haa, Chief. Kya baat hai? Why are you hesitating so much?" asked Yudi. [Yes, chief. What is it?]

Taking a deep breath, Alekh started. "Tum logoko yaad hai jab Naina achanak do saal ke liye kahi chali gayi thi?" [Do you guys remember the time when Naina vanished for two years?]

Everyone on the other side of the call frowned in confusion. They couldn't understand why Alekh was mention an event that happened two decades ago. "Yaad hai. Par tu uss baat ko itne saalo bad kyu yaad kar raha hai?" Huda asked while the rest of them nodded. [We remember it. But why you thinking about THAT after so many years?]

"Apun ne uss waqt ek baat chhipaya tha... tum sab se... Naina ne apun ko kasam diya tha." Alekh confessed. [I hid something from you all at the time... Naina had taken a promise from me.]

"Alekh bhai, kya chhipaya tha apne hum sabse?" Ali asked. [What did you hide, Alekh?]

"Bol na, Alekh!" Pooja urged when he hesitated. [Tell us.]

"Naina... Naina uss waqt pet se thi. Wo Rajveer sir ke bachche ki maa banne wali thi." Alekh blurted out. [Naina.... Naina was pregnant at the time.... with Rajveer sir's child.]
