Akshu did you reply to the email?
Yes I did just now.
Tell me what timing have they proposed or is it flexible?
Nope it's 10 to 4.
Ok that's great. Atleast one of us has a fixed schedule. I need to ask you something.
You sound serious Abhi. What is it?
She closes the laptop and heads to abhi who is standing in the middle of the room. She hugs him and asks him to continue.
Jaan I know how important family is to you. You have always craved the love of an entire family. I know I am asking too much but if only you are comfortable and you want it too then can we shift to AAG permanently. I don't like it how they treat Avni, how she is so scared around everyone. I know with you around she has changed but still. I would have left long back but my work hours you know.
Abhi you are right that family is important to me but you dont know what family means to me.
What do you mean Akshu?
To me family is just you and Avni. That's it Abhi and there is no changing that. So wherever you both are I will follow and you would never do anything that doesn't suit me or Avni. You don't have to explain so much to me.
Akshu you made it so simple I was so worried as to how would you react.
Akshara stands on her toes to peck his lips but Abhimanyu holds her waist tightly not allowing her to step back. She too gives in and peck turns into full blown kiss. They part due to lack oxygen but Abhi still holds her close.
Akshu are we doing it?
Shut up Abhi. It's daytime anybody can come and just then Akshara's phone starts ringing.
Hello. Am I speaking to Mrs. Akshara Birla?
Yes but whose this?
Mam do you know Avni Birla?
Ofcourse she is my daughter.
Actually mam, Mr. Birla had written a note on Avni's diary to update your number in the school records so we were just verifying the number.
Yeah sure that's fine mam.
Ok then thankyou.
Who was calling?
It was from Avni's school.
Ok.
Abhi thankyou so much and I love you.
I love you too. There is no need to say thanks. It was necessary. Ok leave all this. I was thinking since we are both free this week why don't we get done with the shifting.
I am ok with it. But don't we have to inform the families.
Ofcourse we will. Also I was thinking to tell them about the other thing.
Is it necessary Abhi?
Honestly it doesn't matter to me and you know it very well but some people need to know it and you know that too.
Fine then we can inform them about both things but when.
We will see to that.
Avni comes back from school and is happily heading towards her room while swinging her bottle to and fro. In doing so her bottle touches a vase nearby and it breaks. Harsh who is sitting on the sofa sees this and shouts at Avni scaring her. The noise is heard by Abhira and they come out of their room to see Avni nestled in a corner
Manjari I don't understand what's wrong with this girl.
What happened Harsh Ji?
See she broke a vase. If not for Abhimanyu I would have thrown her out of this house.
Enoughhh. Not a word against my daughter. Akshu take Avni upstairs.
Mamma I didn't do it purposely. I was just happy that you will be home and my bottle hit the vase.
Avni I know baby. Don't cry. Papa will handle everything. Come you change your uniform.
Sir I am done with your ego issues but I have only one thing to say to you and that is I am moving out with my family very soon.
Abhi what are you saying?
Yes maa. I will leave very soon. I said this before also that I was bound because of my work but now Akshara is here and we will both handle things in our own way.
He enters his room and sees Akshara consoling Avni. He sits on the bed while hugging both of them.
Avni, Papa is sorry but I promise I will make everything right.
Mamma is also sorry Avni because I wasn't there with you baby.
Ok Avni we, me and mamma have decided something.
What papa?
We have decided we will shift to AAG.
Really papa (Getting down from Akshara’s lap and Wiping her tears)
Yes princess.
I am so happy papa. We will have so much fun and just like that she forgot about Harsh and started running in the room happily.
Akshu now my decision has become more firm after today's incident and we will shift very soon.
Yes Abhi. I was about to tell you the same. Infact weren't we thinking about when to tell everyone.
Yes.
So bade papa had texted me that Bhaiya has cracked a deal so they have invited all of us for dinner today to celebrate it.
That's a great opportunity. Both the families will be together and we will tell them about this.
Perfect.
Manjari informs everyone that Goenkas have invited them over for dinner. Mahima tells them she will join directly from the hospital. Akshara gets Avni ready.
Mamma where are we going?
Bade papa has invited us for dinner.
Why?
Because mamu has cracked a deal.
What does that mean papa?
That means mamu came first in an exam.
Wow. Jaan then I will take a gift for mamu.
Ok baby. Whatever you say and kisses her cheek.
I am also ready Jaan forwarding his cheek.
Abhiiii...
What? I am serious.
Akshara kisses him on the cheek and goes to get ready.
Avni goes to see Neil. Akshara comes out wearing a purple saree. Abhi looks at her and is mesmerized.
You will be the death of me one day Mrs. Birla.
Well I could say the same for you Dr. Birla. You know you look so dapper when you wake up in the morning.
Is it so? But I never get any reaction from you.
You will get it soon (tracing a finger on his jawline). Now that we are shifting and it will be just us, so you know what I mean.
Akshu let's skip this dinner and shift right now.
Stop getting so excited Dr. Birla. Everything has its own time. Let's leave now. Avni has to buy something for bhaiya.
You know you always do this. Give me hope and then you leave.
I love you more when you sulk like a baby.
Papa, Mamma let's leave.
