Akshara goes back to the kitchen to finish the remaining parathas when Parth comes down for breakfast.
Wow Akshara the kitchen is smelling awesome. What are you making?
Thankyou bhaiya. I was making Aloo Paratha.
They smell so good. I can only imagine the taste.
Bhaiya I am just coming. I am done.
Mahima rolls her eyes at his son. Just then Anand comes for breakfast and asks Manjari what's cooking.
Dad, not chachi but Akshara has made Aloo paratha.
Ohh. Mahima today I will cheat and have one paratha. I am not listening to you on this.
Ok.
Akshara is arranging the table when doorbell rings. She is about to go but sees Abhi and Avni coming down so she asks Abhi to check. Abhi collects the bag and looks inside it and smiles seeing curd boxes. He looks back at Akshara and already sees her smiling at him. He goes and puts the bag in kitchen. Akshara brings the curd and places it on the dining table annoying Manjari.
Wow Mamma. You are the best.
They settle down to eat with Akshara sitting between Abhi and Avni. Akshara feeds Avni. Anand finishes the breakfast and calls Akshara. He hands her some money while Akshara takes his blessings.
Abhimanyu I have invited some people from the medical fraternity and also the trustees of Birla Hospital at 9 pm as they were not invited for your wedding. So consider it a small reception. You both be ready.
Ok tauji.
Manjari invite the Goenkas as well.
What's the need bhaisaab to invite them? They don't belong to this field. What will they do here?
Sir then maa, bhabhi, Neil shouldn't be a part of it as well. They might also feel out of place.
Abhi it's ok. I will call the goenkas. You go and rest.
Ok maa.
Abhi, avni and Akshu head to their room. Abhi lies down on the bed and Avni too joins him and starts playing with his hair while Akshara moves to adjust her things in the room.
Jaan come rest for sometime. You have been working in the kitchen since morning.
Yes mamma, come.
Akshara agrees to them and lies down. Avni immediately stops playing with her father's hair and lies down hugging Akshara. Abhi follows her actions and hugs both of them.
Papaa you are squeezing me. Please move aside.
What did I do and why should I move? I have to hug her too.
She is my mamma.
Yeah but she is my wife.
Abhii seriously. She is your daughter.
Avni gets down from the bed while Akshara stares at Abhimanyu because she thinks Avni is upset. Avni climbs from the other side and lies down besides Akshara such that Akshu is lying down between Abhi and Avni. Abhi smiles at this and they both hug Akshara.
Wow. My princess is so smart while he smirks at Akshara.
Papa now we will sleep like this else you will always squeeze me.
As you say Avni. I don't mind at all.
Just then Akshara recieves a notification and she gets very happy on seeing it.
Whose message other than mine made you smile like this wifey? I don't like it.
Shut up Abhi. Look at this. I am so happy. I got in.
Wow. Finally. See didn't I tell you don't lose hope kissing her cheek.
Yes. You were right. I have a week's time to respond to this.
That's great. It means we have a lot of time for ourselves. I am on leave too. You know what I mean.
No I don't. Dr. Birla.
In the evening Goenkas arrive at the Birla House. Swarna asks Aarohi to check upon Akshara if she needs any help. Aarohi spots Avni outside Akshara's room all dressed up.
Hi maasi.
Hi. I feel so sad for you avni.
Why?
Atleast your father used to love you but now he will focus all his attention on Akshara and then you will be left all alone. Nobody will love you.
You are lying. Mamma and Papa both love me.
I am not lying Avni. Your father loves Akshara more than you. He can do anything for her. He will leave you suddenly one day just like he had bought you in his life suddenly. They only love each other.
You are a liar that's why mamma slapped you that day. I will tell mamma everything and she enters the room crying while Aarohi goes to attend a call.
Avni what happened why are you crying?
Maasi.
What did she do? First stop crying. You know I don't like it and if papa sees you like this.
Ok mamma wiping her tears.
Avni tells her everything and Akshara gets angry. She moves out of her room and drags Aarohi inside.
Avni you go check what papa is doing and also show him your dress.
What the hell Akshara? Why did you drag me like this?
What is wrong with you Aarohi? Whenever I think you can't stoop any lower than this, you always prove me wrong. You have had a problem with me always. Fine I have no issues with that but why are you dragging my daughter into this. How are you so insensitive?
Please, don't give me this lecture and all. I didn't do anything wrong. I just told her the truth. Isn't it true that when you and Abhimanyu will have your own children you won't even look at that orphan. It's human nature Akshara.
Just shut up Aarohi. Don't you dare call my daughter that. She is our daughter.
Lower your tone. Don't talk to me in that tone. Your husband might like it but I dont. I don't just have any problem with you. I hate you Akshara. You always get what you want even if you don't deserve it like Abhimanyu. You are no match to him Akshara. You are nothing in front of him.
Aarohi just stop please. I am fed up of hearing the same thing from you. Please don't waste my time and I am telling you the last time stay away from my daughter.
Its not me but you who needs to stay away from her. You do know you are such a bad omen. You killed my mother. You lost your very own parents.
Stop it Aarohi.
Why should I? Is it that you can't bear the truth. You are a bad omen. I don't know how long before you ruin Abhimanyu and his daughter.
Shut up and Akshara slaps her. Get out of my room now.
Akshara tries to calm down but only one thing keeps ringing in her mind " how long before you ruin Abhimanyu and his daughter". On the other hand Avni is with Abhimanyu following him as he checks the last minute decors and all for the party.
Avni go see if mamma is ready. Tell her that the guests are coming in an hour.
Ok papa.
What's wrong? Why do you sound upset?
Nothing papa. I will go see mamma.
Avni goes upstairs and opens the door of the room and is shocked.
