Abhira got down from the car and entered the new firm which she will be working in. Her transfer for the internship was accepted and she even received an apology letter from dev sir for whatever she faced because of him. The showdown with poddars had her calm down for sometime but she had a lot to do. She will bring down the arrogance of kaveri poddar and sanjay together. She had to thread carefully if she wanted a proper revenge. She had already put one of the detectives whose contact swara had given her on to get dirt on the poddars. She had already phoned krish in the morning asking him to join her grandmother's dance academy on scholarship, he had accepted happily thanking her only if he knew that she was doing this for her motives. Abhira was walking lost in her own thoughts, she rounded a corner and collided with someone, the With a gasp, she stumbled backward, only to find herself caught by a strong, reassuring arms.
Her eyes met the other person, she felt suprised finding a known face in this unknown place. All her thoughts faded away as she gazed into his deep eyes. He still had that magnetic pull which drew her in and made her forget everything else for a moment.

" Anurag" Abhira whispered.
" Abhira" Anurag replies back to her As he steadied her, abhira couldn't help but notice the warmth of his touch, his touch was the same.
" Are you okay" he asked her with a gentle smile. She nodded, looking at him in disbelief.
" You, here?" Abhira asked, her tone mixed with suprise and affection.
" This is my grandfather's office" Anurag answered.
" Oh" abhira exclaims she did not know what to speak more. It has been years she and anurag had seen each other. She never thought she would ever meet him again in her life. He brought back some beautiful memories of her life. Memories which she would always cherish. She and anurag had only dated for few months but their connection was instant and only increased with time. Even her mother approved of anurag, anurag respected and loved her mother. His gentle behaviour and charming nature had won over akshara. Not to forget, Anurag's parents were much like him and with time they all formed a nice bond. But destiny had other plans, Anurag wanted to pursue his career abroad and his father also wanted to expand his business in other states. She had to end this realtionship for her sake, anurag was against it. He did not want to end it, they fought over it. The matter escalated to their marriage, he was ready to marry her and then go abroad. His parents were fine with it and even convinced her mother for it but she wasn't okay. Her doubt and insecurities had ended their realtionship. They parted ways.
" I will come back for you abhira and then I will never let you go away" Anurag said to her one last time before leaving her. His heartbroken face for a moment had made her want to leave this stubborness and give this realtionship a chance but then she stopped herself telling if after experiencing other world if his feelings are the same, she will let him back but she did not wanted to be distraction in his studies nor wanted him to be hurdle in her dreams. As him and his family left the place, their contact ceased with time though once in a while she remembered him, he became a memory for her.
" I came to know about akshara maa, I'm so sorry abhira" Anurag says to her sadly. She could see in his eyes that news of her mother passing away was painful to him as well. She passed him reassuring smile.
" We searched for you" Anurag says " but couldn't find you"
" Too many things happened in life anurag but I am fine and also I have found my mother's long lost family and this is my first day in this office"
" That's great" Anurag smiles, " come I will show you around "
Abhira nods and follows him as he shows her around. Anurag tells her all about raichand law firm, he tells how his grandfather had started this law firm only for giving people justice not anything else. He also tells how his parents had eloped and married against his grandfather which put strain in realtionship and his parents left everything and moved to mussoorie where he was born.
A few years later when he came back from abroad he was suprised to find he had a grandfather and grandmother. His parents and his grandfather had recoiled. Abhira was happy for anurag.
" Abhira if you're free can you please come home with me?" Anurag asked, "mom and dad will be happy to see you. They have been worried about you from the time they learnt about aunty"
" Okay" abhira says to him, " I need to go now and find mr bhatra I have to report to him"
Anurag nodded half heartly and he parted ways with her.Anurag couldn't't shake the feeling of serendipity that hung in the air. Him meeting abhira after looking for years can't be a coincidence, maybe it was destiny. Now that he met her again, he is not going to let her go again out of his life easily he decided.

Later at the evening, abhira had accompanied anurag to his house. She had sat with him in his bike.
" You still prefer cars to your bike I see"
Anurag smiled at Abhira's comments.
" You know me" he says to her. She rolls her eyes. Anurag's heart skipped a beat when abhira placed her hands on his shoulder when he drove little fastly. He stopped his bike infront of the mansion, abhira looked at the mansion, she wasn't suprised by the grandeur of the house. Anurag's family were well off in mussoorie itself, she has seen the law firm they build today so she wasn't suprised.
" Come" Anurag says and she follows him nervously.
" Mom, dad see whom I have brought today" Anurag announed loudly.
Mohini raichand who was busy instructing the servant about something turned her gaze to anurag' s arrangement and widened her eyes seeing the familiar face.
" Abhira" she rushed towards her and enveloped her in a warm hug.
Abhira huged her back with mixture of love and gratitude.
" Abhira beta, thank god we found you, we were so worried" Arvind raichand joined in his voice showing his genuine affection.
Abhira was ushered inside gently and made to seat in the coach. She met anurag's grandfather and grandmother who welcomed her warmly. When she spoke about her newly found family,  his grandfather exclaimed that singhanis were close friends and close to family to them.
" We wanted to give you and akshara a suprise with anurag but when he reached mussoorie we were greeted with the news of what happened. No one knew where you had disappeared" Mohini says sadly, " we were worried about you"
Abhira nods at the words said to her silently.
" Thank god you're safe now" mohini exclaims happily.
" Akshara ji leaving us still seems like a bad dream beta" arvind says " she will always be in our heart and memories"
Abhira's eyes tear up. She shakes her head positively.
" Don't cry my child, everything will become fine" Mohini consoles taking Abhira in her embrace.
" Come it's already night time, have dinner with us and then anurag will drop you at night to your home, I will inform natik ji" Anurag's grandfather says.
Abhira is again ushered towards the dinning chair and fed food by Mohini  in spite of her protest.She felt a sense of peace settle in her. She Thought of her life if she had married anurag years ago, maybe her mother would have alive and met her family who loved her. That selfish poddars would not have been in her life so many bad things could have been avoided but alas destiny wasn't on her side. She chatted with everyone having her peacefully and left with anurag.
