Because It's You

Misunderstanding

Part 15

It's been half a month since their Jaipur trip. All become busy with their respective life.

She is back to her old life, but it is not the same as before. She was flooded with work for the renovation of the NGO. She wants to build a new dispensary for emergencies, She has already taken some ideas from Aaru.No matter how mean Aarohi is as a sister, She is really dedicated to her profession. She even has a new friend Abhi. Who is there to make her smile with his special visit or some phone call? It kills her time which she used to feel lonely.

It is all same for him, the same hospital & patients, his team & surgeries. He is even busier with the new intern who has come here to complete their 1st journey of becoming a doctor. He has to prepare some lectures for these students. But something has changed. A new work is added to his daily schedule, calling his Akshu. He even visits twice to Umeed NGO to meet her making some time from his busy schedule. But after all this, he has to do a really difficult task every day. Avoiding the questions of his family. Even if he has no idea about their suspicion, it's better to avoid the whole topic.

But for his bad luck, he is caught by his Manjari Maa, while he scrolling through the pic from Jaipur & staring at each picture very intensely. Thank god most of these are group pictures. To be precise there is no single picture of his Akshu with him for now. He manages the situation by saying that he is sending pictures to everyone. But it is not that easy to hide your feeling in front of a mother. Moreover, he is not a person who will care about photos.

After getting an unsatisfactory answer from his head-bent son, Manjari tried to get information from Neil. He tried his best to hide but was defeated by Shefali's twisted question. After all, she is a journalist. She can handle this much information. At that moment everyone is so much proud of her.

Neil: I agree, Vai likes someone. It is also true that he has planned this trip for her. But I can't give you more information. I promised Vai.

Parth: You don't need to. We already know. Just want to confirm.

Neil: How did you know?

Shefali: Does not matter.Miss Goenka, right?

Neil was shocked to know that everyone in the family already knows & also sad that he is not the one to know his Vai's secret.

Shefali: Papa & chaha also completed their investigation about her family. It's all set to talk about marriage. You just have to take your Vai's permission. Obviously, he will not spill a single word to us.

Neil: Really, Don't worry. I will take yes from him by hook or crook.

Everyone sent their soldier to the battlefield wishing him to win.

Neil: Vai, There is good news & bad news. Which one do you want to hear first? ok, I will tell you. I am too excited. The bad news is our family is already know about your love. (Without giving time to think ) & the good news is they are going to fix the alliance tomorrow after your consent.

Whether it is good or bad, Both are shocking news to him. How can he think of marriage? He even doesn't know about her feeling yet. Just he is going to say no, Neil interrupts him.

Neil: I know, you are scared of her reaction. She does not show any feelings like this right? but let me explain to you, Girls are not that frank to share their feelings and our Akshara Bhabi is also a shy type of girl. But she will defiantly say yes if she likes you. Otherwise, you will also get your closure.

He was confused, but deep in his heart, he wants this, wants his Akshu. He is not brave enough to convey his feeling. So it is the best idea. He convinced himself that it is a decent way. All the members were delighted. As Manjari has the responsibility of handling the home, she voluntarily takes the charge of this mission.

Goenka House

Manish: What happen? Why did you call everyone here.?

Swarna: I have important news to share. I just came here after meeting Mrs. Manjari Birla. I think all of you know her. She... She is talking about the marriage alliances between his son Abhimanyu and Aarohi. His son likes our Aarohi.

Vansh: Badi Maa... This is not news. Shocking news.

Kairav: ( with a little seriousness) Are you sure?

Manis: What did you say?

Swaran: what would I? I don't want to say no. This is a good proposal. But I can't say yes before discussing it with all of you. So I asked for some time.

All nodded & looked toward Aarohi.

Aarohi: What? I don't know. It is so sudden.

Vansh: I thought you also likes him. You are praising him continuously that day.

Aarohi: Just like I said I admired him only as a doctor. I didn't think other than that. Even though I doubt sometimes that he likes me. But he didn't tell me directly.

Kairav: What do you mean you know that he likes you?

Aarohi explains the whole trip things and his changing behavior towards her to all.

Vansh: Then, What's the problem? It's not that you love someone else, right?

Akshu: Vansh Bhaya, you are right. Even I personally think Abhimanyu is a very good person. He also has the same personality as our Aaru. They will be a great couple. Still, it's Aarohi's decision.

Swarna: Aaru, don't take the stress. Take your time.

All leaves from there. Looking at Kairav & Manish's tension ......

Swarna: I know what are you thinking. It's about Akshu, right? She is older than Aaru. She should get married first. ( Manish & Kairav is trying to say the same but is interrupted by Akshu).

Akshu: Bade papa...Vai...I know you are worried about me. But I can't just marry just because I am older right? Like Aaru if I get a suitable partner, I will surely think about it. Please don't compromise her happiness because of me. I don't want one more blame for stanching her happiness. ( She paused, She can feel the reaction of her taunt on their expression, so she changed the topic) I am just two years older than Aaru. It doesn't make that difference. We are in 21st-century Vai. Stop behaving like the 90s. All the serious faces turn into a smiley one. Unknowingly Manish's hand comes to appease her mature granddaughter which brings some drop of tears to both Akshu & Kairav's eyes.

Next day...

Aarohi: I thought about it. I have no problem. I was a little confused. It is not a bad idea. Somehow I have to marry in the future, then what's wrong with today? Being practical, he is a really good choice.

Vansh: Good choice. we know it was always your choice.

Everyone teased Aaru who does not seem so affected by all this teasing. She is a practical person always. After that accident, she even becomes more that she did not need anyone to support her. For her, it is like a normal part of life that she has to fulfill. There can't be a better option than Abhimanyu. He has the same personality as well as profession. They can understand each other better than anyone else.
As for Akshu, She was really happy for her sister. For her, he is a good friend who can make anyone comfortable. She has no idea that this quality of her friend is only reserved for her. She always tried to keep her distance from any emotion so that she wouldn't hurt more than she is now. It is not easy to welcome any feeling that easily.

Birla House

Mahima: What did they say?

This is the first question of everyone present there when Manjari cuts the call. He is quiet. He didn't know what he is feeling. He was not scared like this even when he was waiting for the result of his first surgery.

Manjari: She said yes. They want to do the Tilak tomorrow.

Aanand: It's good. we should get into some commitment, then we can take other things slowly as per convenience.
All started to congrats him when he just left saying thank you. He can't show his happiness. He has not used it. Manjari wants to give him company but is stopped by Harsh."Let's be himself".
