Akshara enters the Goenka House and spots everyone sitting on the dining table so she joins them too.

Akshu come have your dinner. We are still having.

No Kairav she has had her dinner. She had informed me.

Ok. Akshu btw how was your meeting with Reem?

Bhaiya it was good. She is nice. I liked her work too. I have decided to get my clothes from her only. We don't have much time left so I don't want chaos of going from one place to another.

That's a good decision but did you talk to Abhimanyu.

I did Bade Papa. Infact he was with me. So we chose things together.

Listen Akshu, Manjari Ji was calling.

What did she say Badi Mumma?

She was saying that she always wanted a destination wedding for Abhimanyu.

I don't think that's possible badi mumma. Avni has her school and they are all so busy in the hospital. Let her talk to Abhi and others.

Yes Swarna, let them decide first.

Ok it's already late. Let's go and sleep now. Good Night.

Good Night Mimi.

Akshara goes to her room. She goes to freshen up and when she comes out, she sees Aarohi sitting on the bed.

Actually badi mumma told me that some of my clothes were here. They got mixed up in the laundry.

Yes Aarohi they are in the cupboard. You can take them.

Aarohi opens the cupboard while Akshara sits on the bed. Aarohi sees Akshara smiling to herself when she notices a red mark on her neck.

Aarohi thinks no it's not possible. What are you thinking? This is Akshara. She can't. She won't. Should I ask her? I know what will she say that it's a mosquito bite or some insect rash. I know but let me just ask her.

Akshara do you have some allergy? I can give you medicine, if you need it.

No Aarohi. Why are you asking?

Then what's this on your neck?

Come on Aarohi your are old enough to know what this is.

Do you mean it's a...

Yes I mean it's a love bite. Just in case you are going to create a drama about all this, let me remind you that I am engaged and will soon be getting married.

Aarohi leaves the room in a shocked state while Akshara giggles and goes to sleep. Aarohi enters her room and sits down with a thud. Aarohi thinks other than her music what does Akshara have that she gets the best always. Compared to me she is nothing, I have a permanent Job at Birla Hospital, I am a good surgeon, I even did my masters then how come this musician gets to have the best things. And she sleeps with these thoughts.

Birla House

Abhi I had to talk to you.

Yes maa come.

Abhi I always wanted a destination wedding for you. So I was thinking.

No maa it's not possible. I have already changed my schedule. I am taking 7 days off for the wedding out of which 2 or 3 will be done in rituals and all so I will have only 4 days off. Plus I have scheduled all my surgeries and consultations in these 15 days. Also Tayiji and Tauji will be busy and they won't agree to this. And moreover Avni has her school, I don't want to compromise with that.

But Abhiii..

Maa listen to me. I am getting married so how does it matter where I get married, it's all about the rituals, so.

You are denying my wish because of this girl.

This girl is my daughter and maa I am in a good mood. I don't want to argue with you unnecessarily. Please. Also Reem, the wedding planner will come tomorrow so you discuss with her what all you want to do. Ok.

Ok.

Good night maa.

Good night.

One Week Later

Hello Dr. Busy Birla

Hello jaan. Why this mood?

What else can I do? My fiancee has been so busy since the past one week. I haven't even seen him properly once.

Maybe your fiancee is busy and taking out time for his wedding. So you should understand this.

I do understand this but I miss him.

Aww my jaan. I miss you too but you know if I don't finish up things now then I won't have much time post wedding.

I know and I love you for that.

I love you too. Btw tell me its been more than a week since you gave that interview. Didn't they contact you?

Nope and I don't think they will. They might have selected someone already. I guess I should look for other jobs.

Akshu it's ok to look for other jobs but don't give up hope. You are the best.

Thankyou. Abhi just 6 days are left for our marriage.

I know Jaan and it's this thought only that has me kept going from the past one week. Ok listen I am free for the next one hour, can you come to the hospital.

Abhi you should have told me beforehand. I have to meet Reem just now. I am leaving.

It's ok Akshu. I just said btw. I didn't know I would be free. Ok you go and take care. Bye.

Bye.

Akshara leaves and parks the car. She heads inside and enters the cabin without knocking.

How many times do I need to tell everyone that please knock before entering?

I thought this rule doesn't apply on your fiancee, Dr. Birla.

Akshu and he runs to hug her. He picks her up and places her on the table while he stands in front of her cupping her face

Didn't you say you had a meeting with Reem?

I did but I thought I should surprise my docman wrapping her arms around his neck.

Well this was a very nice surprise Jaan. I missed you so much kissing her forehead. Why do you look pale? Are you feeling well?

Yes I am feeling well. It's just Badi mumma said maybe it's because of wedding jitters.

What do you mean? Are you not ready for this marriage? Shall we postpone it?

Abhi relax. It's nothing like that. It's normal. I am fine kissing his forehead.

Abhi sits on his chair and pulls her into his lap.

I missed you so much jaan. I can't wait to call you mine.

Just then there is a knock and Akshara gets up and sits on the couch. Rohan enters and informs Abhi that OT is ready for the surgery. Abhi gets up and so does Akshu.

Abhi I will leave now. Bye.

Bye.

Abhi wait. Best of luck and pecks him on his lips.
