"As Aarohi revealed that she knew the truth, I asked firmly, 'So you know the truth!'
Aarohi responded, 'Yes, but first, tell me why you're lying. Why are you pretending to be poor and homeless when you're the son of the millionaire Birla family? What's your reason?'
Abhimanyu replied, 'I will tell you everything, but first, you tell me how you found out the truth.'
"Aarohi said, 'I was bringing your bag and saw this photo inside.' Aarohi continued, 'You with Neil Birla, your brother.'
Abhi asked, 'How do you know I'm his brother!? I'm not on social media or any other source, nobody knows me as Abhimanyu Birla.'
Aarohi replied, 'I know because your brother is my boss.'"
Abhimanyu: "Ohhh, so the reason is Neil! Huh!! I will tell you the truth, but you have to promise me you will never reveal it to anyone!! Not even to Akshu!"
Aarohi: "Yeah, okay, I promise I won't tell anyone."
Abhimanyu poured his heart out to Aarohi, confessing his deep love for her sister Akshu. Aarohi, taken aback by the revelation, was stunned, her eyes widening in shock. She recalled Abhimanyu's presence at the wedding, his gaze fixed on Akshu throughout the ceremony, and his discreet assistance to her mother.
"You love Akshu di!! Oh my God, on that day, you were there at the wedding. I forgot you were staring at her the whole time, you were the person who helped my mother?!!!! But wait, why are you pretending to be poor!!??" Aarohi exclaimed, her mind racing to make sense of the situation.
Abhimanyu, with a mix of determination and vulnerability in his voice, explained, "Because your sister doesn't like rich people, and you know our families are always against each other. I don't have any other option but to win her heart!!"
Aarohi, touched by Abhimanyu's sacrifice for love, felt a surge of empathy and admiration. "You've become poor for your love!?? Great, Abhimanyu. After realizing your love for Akshu di, I'm really happy and I want to help you," she declared, a newfound sense of camaraderie blossoming between them.
Aarohi proposed a partnership, a pact sealed with smiles. "From now on, I'm your partner!! Deal?? I'll help you get your love, and you should help me get mine, right??" she suggested, her eyes gleaming with determination.
Abhimanyu, now filled with a sense of purpose and gratitude, accepted the alliance. "Your love?? Who is he??" he inquired, ready to support Aarohi in her own quest for love.
Aarohi, her voice tinged with a hint of longing and secrecy, revealed her hidden feelings for Neil Birla, Abhimanyu's brother. "Of course, your brother Neil Birla. See, this is a secret, don't tell anyone. I've loved him since childhood. We studied in the same school, the same college, but he hasn't seen me once, even though I'm working with him against my family, hiding my identity. But him..." she trailed off, her emotions raw and vulnerable.
Abhimanyu, now fully committed to their partnership, reassured Aarohi with unwavering support. "Hey, don't worry partner, I'm here to help you, your brother. I will help you get your love!!" he vowed, a sense of determination and hope binding their fates together in the pursuit of love.
Once the chat ended, Abhi and Arohi proceeded through the steps. Naira and Karthik invited them for dinner! They savored the meal with hearty laughter and engaging talks. Following the feast, they strolled to the garden area. Seated on the chairs,
Naira shared, "This is our small, charming garden."
Abhimanyu remarked, "I've heard about your grand bungalow and expansive garden, quite impressive.
Karthik shared, "We may have had it before, but our entire family isn't together, so we decided to live separately. The past of our families keeps us apart, and I prefer not to dwell on it."
Akshu chimed in, "But we find happiness in our small garden and these little joys."
As everyone burst into laughter, Arohi exclaimed, "Hey, everyone, can I have your attention, please?" "Akshara Goenka is about to grace us with a song on this lovely evening. Let's give a big round of applause for Akshara Goenka," she continued, and everyone started clapping. Akshara, feeling a bit hesitant, said,
"Aaru... What's this? My throat isn't good now."
Arohi whispered in Akshara's ear, "Oh, come on, di, don't be silly. I know your voice is perfect, and someone out there loves ur voice. You know that too."
Akshara replied, "Aaru, stop it." Arohi, Naira, Karthik, and Abhi cheered her on, "Akshu, Akshu, Akshu..."
As Akshara took her guitar and started singing, her melodious voice resonated through the garden walls.
Abhimanyu, completely captivated by her voice, was entranced and didn't even blink, his heart racing with each note. As Akshara's eyes met his, a magical connection seemed to form between them, like a beautiful tale unfolding before their eyes. It felt as though they were meant to be together, destined by fate to share a story of their own, with a past and a future intertwined, bound together forever.
As Abhimanyu's heart raced from Akshara's mesmerizing song, a sudden jolt shook him as his phone lit up with his father's name, Harshavardhan Birla. With wide eyes, Abhimanyu froze in shock, realizing his father was in India, probably at home by now. The whirlwind of thoughts flooded his mind - "What should I say? Mom knows, but she won't cover for me. I can't leave now! What if Karthik Sir asks questions?" The weight of these questions bore down on abhimanyu!!.
