Woh ek saal

Rakhi celebrations

Next day
Aaru ensured setting up 10 alarms so that she wakes up by 5am to avoid getting so grumpy
She opened the curtains of her window to let the sunshine in
Good morning Aarohi Goenka she said to herself. She then recalled today being Rakhi
Ohh shit meine Devyani se kaha tha saare gifts laane woh gadhi laayi ki nahi???
She ran into Devyani's room who was fast asleep

"Devyani Shastri open the door"
"Kya hai yaar, subah ke 5 baj rahe hai... sone de" Devyani said , half asleep
"Arre kal tujhe bola tha na gifts laane ke liye... woh dede Pls"
"Arre yaar kal raat ko hee rakh diya tha tere study table pe...check kar aur mujhe pareshaan mat kar"
"Ohhh 😅.... Thankyou Thankyou I love you... Acha paise mei tujhe Thode time mei de dungi"
"Arre tu mujhe ab bas sone de pls.. jaa apne room mei... goodnight!"

Aaru returns to her room and finds the gifts kept on her table ... she checks the prices on the gifts only to get a mini heartache
Ye Devyani Pagal hai kya... meine bola tha isse sasti cheezei laane aur ye toh shop ki sabse expensive cheez leke aagayi hai.... Mujhe hee chalei jaana chahiye tha.... Aarohi Goenka tera budget poora hill chuka hai ... MS entrance books ke liye paise tabhi aayenge jab tu apne iss month ke food orders bandh karegi... Ugghhhhh
Ek second... ye kya hai?

She finds another box gift wrapped and opens it.. she finds a note inside it
Ye dress meri aur Anisha ki taraf se tere liye... Aaj rakhi pe tu ghar jaayegi toh ye hee pehenke jaana... agar tujhe dress nahi bhi pasand aayi toh tere paas koi option nahi hai... Hamei ye dress bohot sundar lagi bas baat khatam
Love you Aarohi

Aarohi couldn't stop smiling at this sweet gesture
I don't wanna break their hearts but mujhe nahi jaana ghar
Chodh Aarohi ... ye dress toh tu kabhi bhi pehen sakti hai ... abhi padhai pe dhyaan de... tu Jaldi bhi uth gayi hai so don't waste your time... Jitni books tere paas abhi available hai unse padh

Aarohi continues with her daily chores

It's 9:30 am
Birla house
Everyone is getting ready to go to Goenka house for rakhi celebrations

Akshara's room -
She was getting ready when Abhimanyu comes from behind giving her a back hug
Oye hoye look at you... kitni sundar lag rahi ho
Akshu gives a fake smile hmmm
Abhimanyu: I know tum upset ho with Aarohi who might not come

Abhi , mei Kabse wait kar Rahi thi kab ham chaaro bhai behen milke celebrate karte Rakhi... teen saal jab mei ghar se door thi I was always looking forward to this day... and ab phirse hamari problems beech mei aagayi and we can't celebrate rakhi together
Abhimanyu feels bad as well

Meanwhile our chamgadad was setting his hair while humming a song
Ek ho gaye hum aur tum , aur udd gaye neend mere
Harsh enters his room
