At Birla House, everyone was planning to go to Goenka House. As they were happily preparing to proceed, someone shouted from the back.
"How can you ask for that selfish girl's hand for Neil?" said Abhimanyu angrily, standing at the staircase.
"Abhimanyu, when you wanted to marry Akshara, we all didn't say anything. Then why are you interfering in Aarohi and Neil's relationship?" said Harsh, looking at him with the same fire in his eyes.
"Correct, Abhimanyu. What did your Akshara do? In the end, she left you a note behind. So please, it is Neil's life, and let me decide," said Mahima, looking at Abhimanyu.
"I won't let this marriage happen at any cost," said Abhimanyu, looking at everyone.
"I will see who comes between my son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law," said Manjari, while Abhimanyu just looked on.
"Just remember one thing: that girl is surely planning something big, and you will soon get to know about it," said Abhimanyu, looking at them, and he came downstairs to accompany them to Goenka House.
They were standing at the entrance of Goenka House when Manish saw them.
"Are you all here at this time?" said Manish with a smile, looking at them.
"Yes, we are here for Aarohi and Neil's relationship," said Harsh with a smile while Manish looked on.
They all went inside and sat down when Mimi and Aarohi also came.
"Namaste," said Mimi and Aarohi with a smile while the Birlas also greeted them.
"Like Akshara isn't here, and as you all know Aarohi perfectly, why do you want to destroy Neil's life?" said Manish, looking at the Birlas while Mimi and Aarohi looked on.
"Of course, Bade Papa, I am also telling them the same thing, but they aren't ready to listen," said Abhimanyu, eyeing Aarohi.
"Arre, Bade Papa, you are praising me really well! And one more thing: some people like to use other girls to get their loved girl, right, Abhimanyu?" said Aarohi, looking at Abhimanyu, while Abhimanyu just gritted his teeth.
"Manish, I am going to decide whether Aaru will marry Neil or not. What's the problem? Akshara and Abhimanyu loved each other; you were ready for the marriage. Kairav and Anisha loved each other; you were ready for the marriage. You were only concerned about Aaru's marriage, and now that she is ready, you have a problem? But I am with my Aaru, and I am ready for this marriage," said Mimi angrily to Manish, while Manish just looked on.
"And whoever is having a problem, you all aren't forced to attend the marriage. You can do what you want," said Mimi sternly, while everyone looked on.
They all performed the shagun of Neil and Aarohi happily and enjoyed themselves, except for three people sitting in a corner: Manish, Swarna, and Abhimanyu.
As they proceeded happily, the environment was bright, and everyone was enjoying themselves. Aarohi was finally happy.
"Please, God, now I am very happy. Please don't create any mess, and just let it go smoothly as it is going. I will surely tell Neil about those papers soon," thought Aarohi in her mind while praying to God.
As they continued, a lady was standing at the entrance of the Goenka house, sweating. Manish looked at the person and was shocked.
"Akshu!" said Manish, looking at the person while everyone turned in her direction. She was covered in mud, as if she had just had a huge fight with someone and had run away to save herself.
"What happened to you?" said Manish, bringing Akshara inside while everyone looked at her, tense.
"What happened, Akshara?" said Abhimanyu, looking at her worriedly.
Akshara took a deep breath and looked around. Aarohi quickly went and brought a glass of water for her. Aarohi gave her the water while Akshara drank it and looked at everyone.
"I am fine, and now everything is perfect," said Akshara, looking at them and telling them how she freed herself from Maya while everyone looked at her.
"You all are here?" asked Akshara, looking at everyone.
"Yes, we were here for Aarohi and Neil's relationship," said Abhimanyu, looking at Akshara while she looked shocked.
"Neil, you are going to marry Aaru?" asked Akshara, looking at Neil.
"Yes, and tomorrow is the engagement," said Neil, looking at Akshara.
"No, tomorrow no function is going to take place. Can't you see Akshara is in such a state?" said Manish, looking at Akshara.
"As if you cared when Abhimanyu left Aarohi at the altar, and you were planning Abhimanyu and Akshara's marriage after a week itself," said Kairav in a taunting way while Manish just looked on.
"Bade Papa, I have no problem with this marriage, and I am perfectly fine. There is no need to change the date of the engagement," said Akshara, looking at everyone while her eyes made contact with Abhimanyu as well.
Everyone performed their functions and went home while Akshara was in her room resting when Aarohi came in.
"Here, take this. It is turmeric milk; it will cure your pain," said Aarohi, looking at her, while Akshara looked at the glass first and then at Aarohi.
She took a deep breath and spoke, "Aaru, if you genuinely love Neil, I am really happy for you. But if you are just playing with him, then don't you dare to. I am warning you." Aarohi just looked at her and sat on the bed next to Akshara.
"Akshu, I never loved Abhimanyu, but Neil, I love him. From the bottom of my heart, I can't accept my life without him. He is the most important person to me," said Aarohi with a genuine smile on her face and her eyes sparkling with truth, which Akshara could also feel.
Aarohi didn't know why she was feeling connected to Akshara. In all these years of comparison, they both hadn't talked like this, but today Aarohi wanted to open up to someone, and yes, it was Akshara.
Aarohi was sitting at the corner of her bed alone while she remembered her happy moments with Akshara in childhood.
"I wish we had a different equation and were just like normal sisters, but it didn't happen. If I get a chance to better our relationship, I will surely try. Please don't do something that will break us apart even more. I want to change our destiny so that we don't end up like we are going to in the future," said Aarohi, looking at her and Akshara's childhood pictures.
No matter what, sisters can hate each other as much as possible, but love always empowers it. We hate the people the most whom we love the most.
