✅ ABHIRA (6-year leap)

OS - 1.14

M - Arre bhaiya, the function is today not next year, will you please pick up your pace and work quickly. Look over there, that space looks so empty and this stage here has little to no flower decorations. Will you please work faster I am not gonna compromise on anything. Today everything needs to be perfect, it's my Abhi and Arohi's engagement.

The Birla Mansion was glowing in a shade of gold. The Mansion was lit like a bride itself with fairy lights and flowers accentuating its glory. The function would commence in just a few hours and Manjari was rushing around the house, barking orders, trying to make everything look perfect. She was ecstatic and on cloud nine. 

M - Arre, will you stop idling around, in a few hours the guests are to be expected, we don't have all day to decorate the house. Do it quickly.

S - Chachi, why are you getting so hyper? You should drink some water and relax, everything will be fine. I will handle the decorations, you should go and talk with the caterers.

Shefali suggests, diverting Manjari's attention and both get busy in their work.

Nishta was busy with Ruhi, helping her to get ready while Arohi was taking her sweet time, applying makeup and changing hairstyles, she wanted to look perfect today. Finally, her dreams were all coming true, she could not wait to marry Abhimanyu and together, they would become the perfect power couple.

M - Parth beta, when is Abhi going to come? Why did he even go today when I had specially told him to be at home today and not schedule anything?

P - Chachi, his schedule was free but an emergency case came last minute, it was critical and he needed to be there, but don't worry he will be here soon.

MIMI - Arrey Swarna, is everything ready? Just check everything again, I don't want anything to lack from our side, and I don't want Aru to think that we are not giving her our support, things need to be perfect. Finally, the kids are going to settle down and start a new chapter in their life, There should be no lacking in giving our blessings.

BM - Don't worry Maaji, everything is ready and I have already told the driver to take these things to the car. Everything will go well and Aru will always have our blessings. 

NAV - Yes Mimi, don't worry, everything will be perfect. Today is such a happy occasion for the family, nothing can go wrong today. I will make sure of it.

Abhinav said enthusiastically. When he first heard about the engagement, he felt relief, as if a big setback was gone forever. He was now sure that Akshara will never leave him as now she has no one to return to, ever. He was the Happiest with this event aside from Arohi and Manjari.

Akshara was just calmly sitting at the dining table, feeding Abhir, who was confused as he couldn't understand why his papa was still marrying his masi-chachi. Akshara could sense his confusion and assured him to just trust them, everything will be alright. She completely ignored everyone else, as she felt disgusted by them. 

MIMI - Akshu, beta why are you still not ready yet? Go and get ready fast and also take my little kuwar sa with you and get him ready as well. We are getting late.

AK - Mimi, Abhir looks a little tired so we won't be able to go together with you guys. You all leave first, I and Abhir will be there in due time.

Guests start arriving at the Birla mansion and soon the venue is lit by constant chattering. Soon Goenkas arrive and walk straight inside while greeting everyone zealously. Abhimanyu takes their blessings while greeting them but was listless. He looked a little restless and overwhelmed.
