Understanding the meaning of Love with MaAn

Anu-Anuj's Site visits

Precap: As the day drew to a close, Anuj couldn't help but reflect on how much he had enjoyed himself. Despite the disappointment in the morning with Anargya's absence, the rest of the day had turned out better than he had expected. Spending time with Anupamaa had brightened his spirits in a way he hadn't anticipated.

He smiled to himself, thinking, Today wasn't just a good day—it was one of the best days I've had in a long time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anupamaa and Anuj drove back to the office after a long and fulfilling day. As they pulled into the parking lot, Anupamaa was ready to step out and head to her next task. She opened the door, stepped out, and was about to walk away when Anuj called out to her.

Anuj: "Anu.....", she turned to look at him. "Kal na site visits keliye Ahmedabad outskirts thak jaana hai 2 din keliye..bahot sites shortlisted hai.. toh time lagega.. hotel mei rukne wale hain... hosaktha hai ya nahi.... is it possible for you to join or not batadena... Ghar mei problems hoga toh no worries... but I insist, agar hosake toh hame jaana chaiye.. think upon it and mail kardena."

Anu: "Ok raat tak bata dungi Anuj..."

Anuj: "Ok, Jai Shree Krishna... Annu"

Anu: "Jai Shree Krishna"

Her next stop was her dance academy. After taking her usual classes, she took Samar aside to inform him about her upcoming trip. "Samar, mujhe kal do din ke liye site visits pe jaana hai. Tum dhyaan rakhna, ghar ka bhi aur Pakhi ke studies ka bhi. Kuch problem ho toh mujhe call kar lena."

Samar assured her everything would be fine. After wrapping up at the academy, she returned home and went straight to Bapuji. She explained about the work trip and asked for his blessing. Bapuji, as always, was supportive and didn't hesitate in giving his permission.Anupamaa didn't bother telling Baa about the trip, knowing that she would only create unnecessary drama. She informed the rest of the family casually but left the invite for any opposition to Baa, untouched.

Post man came up with a post with the name of Anupamaa on it. It was a simple invitation card, but its content caught her attention immediately. The card read:

"You are cordially invited to a Bonfire Night for a College Friends Reunion.
Date: Tomorrow evening
Venue: Outskirts of Ahmedabad
Host: Akshatha"

The message was warm and nostalgic, signed off by one of her closest college friends, Akshatha. Anupamaa smiled, reminiscing about their college days and the carefree times they shared. However, reality soon sank in—she had already committed to the site visits with Anuj, and the bonfire party, while tempting, seemed like a distant possibility. She placed the invitation card near the newspaper stack by the door, thinking that perhaps another time, she could reconnect with her college friends.

For now, her priority was work, and she reminded herself that tomorrow's site visits were crucial for their new business venture. Even though the idea of the bonfire was exciting, she decided not to dwell on it too much.

She read it but she thought she couldn't attend as she had to go for the site visit tomorrow. She ignored the invite and kept it on the table near the door where newspapers are usually kept.

The next morning, Anupamaa woke up earlier than usual. The house was quiet, with the sun just beginning to peek through the curtains. Normally, she would have busied herself with household chores, ensuring everything was in order before stepping out, but today was different. Kinjal had the day off and had insisted that she would handle the household tasks, giving Anupamaa the rare freedom to focus on herself. Anupamaa appreciated this gesture—it was a small reminder that she didn't have to carry the entire weight of the household on her shoulders anymore.
