This evening, She traveled to the scariest time of her life. She came back with the vibration of his phone, which is showing VAI on the screen. Suddenly she realized that she did not inform anyone at home. She blamed her for being so irresponsible. Without wasting a min she left that place while answering the calls.

𝗛𝗲 comes back to reality when he can't hear anymore. Who is she? No matter how fast he was, he can't see her face. He can only see her beautiful hand with a little flying butterfly🦋 tattoo on her wrist. He followed this hand. Why the hell she is running? Please stop. Please only for a second. He breathed when Akshu stopped near a poster & continuing her race after picking one of the pamphlets hung there.
Oh no... Why she again... He just wants one min. Please... Please. She disappeared.
The only thing he gets is her Breclate (with a musical note) which left her hand while she is picking that pamphlet. He looked everywhere but failed to locate her...

Goenka house

It is 8 pm. Aaru and Vansh are talking about their daily hectic day while Akshu & Kairav join them. After 1 min of awkwardness, everyone tried to be normal as Manish & Swarna are also there at a little distance from them discussing something.

Vansh: Akshu, Where are you in the evening? Kairav was so tense. We all were.

AK: I have just gone to a nearby temple for the evening Aarti.

(She knows, no matter how the situation is everyone still cares about her safety. Kairav Vai is more, he is the only person who can understand her, But the sad part is he still can't defend her. Like Askhu, Aarru is his sister also. Three of them have gone through the same pain after losing their parents. That mature 12-year child who always used to lecture & tease her older sister became a person who only care about her work. As an older brother, he has to take care of both of his sisters, specially Aaru because she is younger. And he is also afraid to hear the word 'Step brother'. That's why he can't be rude to her sometime even after knowing that she is unreasonable.)

Vansh: Ok, Look these are photos of Aarohi from her hospital.

(While sliding the pic one by one, Vansh stopped at one, which was a group photo on her 1st day with all the hospital staff. With his request, Aarohi started introducing everyone present in that Pic.

AA: This is Dr.Abhimanyu, the best after Mahima mam. He is also one of Birla's. I really admire him.

Vansh: Oh....Best...Our Aaru is praising someone. It is 1st time.is there something?

AA: I admire him, but only as a doctor (with a sarcastic voice). Moreover, How can there be something? He did not even talk to her properly in this 1 month.

AK : Aaru is right Vai, Look at him .He is the sole reason for destroying the beauty of the picture. There is no smile at all. Looks like someone one fed him some bitter things, Like METHI DANA.

(This is really true; everyone laughs including Aarohi. While passing the phone to Vansh she noticed that she is not wearing her lucky bracelet.)

AK: My bracelet, Where it went?

Kairav: What happen?

AK: I think I lost my bracelet in the temple. It was my lucky bracelet (She was hell worried as she lost something really precious. It is. After losing her music, this is the only thing which reminds her of music)

Kiarav: It's OK, It's just a bracelet, You can buy another.

AK: but it was my lucky bracelet.

Kairav: If it was lucky, then it will definitely bring you luck, no matter where is it.

(But she is still sad)

Birla House

It is being 3 hours to return from the temple. He has taken dinner earlier because he has piles of work. He has to prepare for his 2/3 surgeries, which were scheduled for the next day. But he is stuck. He can't get himself out of that moment. He is continuously staring at her bracelet for over two 2 hours. So many questions are running through his head making him frustrated. Who is she? Why she was there all alone singing like a lifeless person? What pain she is going through? & the most important question Why he is so bothered about all this?

He knows why. There is someone like him struggling with his own self. He tried many times, but can't let it out. But there is someone who can let out her pain even through her song. Unknowingly he is impressed with this quality. For him, she is so strong, she can show her pain to others. He is so into her that he didn't realize that it had been already late & he has to do a lot of work. Finally, he kept all his thought in control & try to concentrate on his work.

Next  Morning

Birla House

Everyone is at the breakfast table except Abhi. He late. This really surprising. He is so particular about his timetable. He came to the hall running. He is not ready yet. (after finishing all work he really did not get a chance to complete his sleep)

Manajri: Abhi, come to have breakfast?

AB: No Maa, I have already been late (while wearing his shoe).

Manjari: But you should eat something. I heard you have a tight schedule today. You will not get time, at least have some sandwiches.

(Maa is right. He has 2 surgeries lined up today. Even after his surgeries he has to go to the temple in search of that voice that made him so restless. But he is also busy managing his all files according to the schedule)

AB: Ok maa, Feed me (He opens his mouth while reading his file)

What just he said? Feed me. For the past 11 years, he didn't allow anyone to connect with him. He really respected Manjari for accepting him which is literally not possible for any other woman. But still, he can't able to give the happiness that every mother gets by caring for their children.

After a moment of shock, she runs towards her son with a plated sandwich. She fed him while he is busy. A drop of tear rolled down from her eyes unknowingly. She continued feeding him while hiding her tear. Finally, he left after completing her pending work & breakfast.

AB: Thank you...Maa...Byee.Byee every one ( He left on his bike)

(A feeling of confusion & happiness was there. For the 1st time, she feels that he accepted her as his mother. She gets teary eyes while looking at Harsh who has filled with the same emotion. Whatever the reason for this change, all are just happy)

---------------------------------------------

Goenka House

Everyone is finished their breakfast. It is her 1st day. She is going to take over the NGO's work today. Swarna fed her sweet curd. She takes blessings from Manish & Swarna. Even though Manish did not show any emotion he said, "All the Best". That was enough for her.Something is better than nothing.

Kairav: All the best Akshu. Vansh will drop you off, ok. (He wanted to drop Akshu, but he & Manish has an important meeting to attend.)

AK: Thank you, Vai.

He left with Manish. Aaru came there with her white coat in her hand and goes toward the door. Suddenly she stops & returns.

AA: All the best Akshara.

She really wished her. She can't forgive her, but after all, she is her sister. She can't stop herself from wishing her sister on her 1st day. The first day of work is always special to everyone. Then she left, maybe she does not want to show this side of her. Akshu is standing there with her tears, which are coming out nonstop. But this is a tear of happiness.

(She left with Vansh on her Bike)
