"Akshara there's a phone for you" Shefali called Akshu out.

"Coming" saying it, Akshu came wiping her hand and took the call.

"Hello, Kairav bhaiya. What's the matter?"

"Akshu tonight we have planned to celebrate Vansh's birthday. So I want you to attend and your in-laws too."

"Tonight? I'm not sure bhaiya"

"Look Akshu, I don't want to hear any excuse. You are coming and that's final! See you tonight, bye." Kairav strictly told her and cut the call not allowing Akshu to reply.

"Now I need to convince him & everyone." Taking a deep breath, Akshu went down to inform everyone.

Arriving down, she saw everyone gathered and talking about something. Harsh and Anand noticed her and called her there.

"Akshara, tonight we all are going to an event. So get ready okay beta?" Anand informed her but Akshu was thinking about how to tell them about Vansh's birthday party.

"Kya hua beta? Why do you look so concerned?" Asked Manjiri maa looking at Akshara's worried face.

"Woh...maa actually aaj Vansh bhaiya ka birthday party hai Goenka house main."

"Yes, we know that Akshara. That's why we are asking you to get ready" Akshara was confused not understanding.

Abhi understood his wife's confusion so he explained to her. "Akshu, Manish ji already called and informed us about the celebration. The event  Tauji was talking about was Vansh's birthday."

Akshara made an oh face and then smiled. "Alright, I'll get ready"

"Akshu beta" Manjiri maa called Akshu stopping her from going up.

"Ji maa"

"Did you think we would not attend Vansh's birthday celebration?" Akshu's face turned into guilt as her mother-in-law caught her mind's voice.

She didn't want to lie to her lovely MIL so she agreed, "Yes, ma. I'm sorry to think like that. It's just Birla's and Goenka's mostly don't get well with each other especially Harsh sir and bade papa.

Manjiri maa chuckled seeing her bahu's awareness. "No need to say sorry Akshu. I'm glad about you." Saying it, Manjiri maa caressed Akshu's hair lovingly.

Akshu just smiled in response. Then both left for their respective rooms to get ready.

"AARU!" A voice shouted cruelly opening the door.

Hearing it, Aarohi woke from her bed, thinking an earthquake occurred.
"Oh my god! What happened?!" Rubbing her eyes and face multiple times, then Aaru gains full consciousness.

"You?!" She got shocked to see her sister standing at the door with an innocent smile.

"Yes me. Now wake up, look at the time. In a few hours, the party is going to start and here you are sleeping forgetting the world. Luckily Kairav bhaiya asked me to come a bit early to help you to get ready." Saying this, Akshu walked near Aarohi's wardrobe and took a nice outfit and some matching accessories for her to wear.

Meanwhile, Aaru had an annoying facial reaction hearing her sister blabbering. She thought she got rid of this when Akshu got married. Unfortunately, it hasn't. Aaru rolled her eyes and fell back on the bed again.

Seeing her sister not getting up, Akshu had an evil idea. 'Sorry Aaru' asking forgiveness in her mind, Akshu took the water bottle from the study table and opened it slowly.
