Aarohi looked with tears. No one seemed to care about her as they all had a grand dinner.

"Aaru! Please come", Akshu said. Her eyes softened seeing Aarohi. Abhimanyu just rolled his eyes at which Kairav glared at him.

"She will come", Abhimanyu said. Akshu freed her hand from his hold as she stood up.

"Nothing is important to me more than my sister. If she will eat, only then I will eat otherwise I will sleep hungry. Kairav bhai, come. Only you can bring her here", she said.

Kairav nodded getting up to get his baby sister. Both of them went up to see her sobbing like a child.

"No one loves me more than maa papa. No one cares I am sad. I agree I did big mistakes. But isn't my marriage broken? Things could have been done in a better way but no one cares. I have no issues with Akshu's marriage but no one even hugged me and told me I am ok. They are with me. No one cares. I miss you".

She was seeing Kartik and Sirat's photo frame crying.

"But I know my mistakes were big

"But I know my mistakes were big. Do I deserve it? I guess so. I am a problem in everyone's life. After all, I am the child from Papa's second marriage. Bade papa also doesn't love you even now mumma. I don't belong here. I should just leave. Everyone is enjoying a lot there, their happiness would increase ten times if I go", she cried. She sobbed quietly.

Akshu and Kairav were heartbroken but hearing her decision, made them panic.

Aarohi stood up to pack her and Akshu and Kairav hurriedly entered inside.

Kairav took the photo frame which made Aarohi look up and finally realise their presence. He glared at her and kept the frame away. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" He asked raising his hand.

Aarohi whimpered and Akshu widened her eyes. Kairav stopped midway seeing Aarohi scared, crying. He sighed and pulled her in a hug and she broke down in his arms.

"You are my world, Aaru. Where do you think you were going? I would have died in your absence. You know in childhood, Akshu cried a lot after she got to know you got misplaced at your birth. She was always afraid of loosing you and you think you will increase her happiness by going away. Do you think so low of us? How dare you think we don't love you?" Kairav scolded with his voice cracked.

The thought that a bit of delay could have made him loose his dear sister forever.

"But bhai! You all are so angry at me. You even went away breaking your relationship. No one is angry at Neil and I am happy no one is. But you all are. I feel really sad. I don't like it. Why don't you just let me go?" Aarohi sobbed as he tightened his hold so she couldn't move. Akshu stared with tears.

"Ae. You crazy girl! Do you think I would let go of my sister so easily?" Kairav chuckled. "Aaru, you agree right you did wrong by marrying secretly. It was anger. And I know our words were harsh but we were genuinely worried for you and seeing you married made us shocked", Kairav explained.

"And marriage is a very important decision of life. You took it so quick that it made us sad and hurt that you didn't consider talking to us. We can never leave you sweetheart", he said softly.

"So you don't hate me? You and Akshu both?" She asked hopefully when he let her pull away a bit.

"I did rather die than hating my sister", Akshu said crying badly and hugged Aarohi tightly. "You are my world Aaru. I don't love anyone else as much as I love you. Don't ever think of going away. I would die. You are the last symbol of Sirat mumma we have with us. You are our baby sister. You are the youngest of our family. Of course, we worry a lot about you and I know it gets annoying for you at sometimes but we can't help it. That's why we got angry. We can never leave you", Akshu said.

They pulled away.

"I am sorry", Aarohi cried. "I am so sorry", she sobbed. Kairav and Akshu wiped her tears smiling.

"I will break your feet the next time you think about stepping outside", he said dangerously and possessively. She gulped and nodded. "Come now. We need to eat food. And yes, you are eating it, no arguments. Akshu! Why did you come? Everyone are sitting downstairs. I can bring her. If she would have not come, I would have picked her up and brought her down", Kairav scolded both his sisters.

Aarohi snickered seeing Akshu grumpily looking at Kairav and pouting.

"But bhai! Aaru was here. They can wait. I will go with her only", Akshu said. Aaru looked at Kairav sheepishly when the glare turned to her.

"God! You both will make me go crazy. Come now. And yes, Aaru you are not going back", Kairav said.

"What?!" Akshu and Aaru yelled horrified and stared at each other.

"Slowly", Kairav hissed. "And what do you expect me to do? Send you with someone I barely know? Just now Akshu got married. I don't trust them at all that I will send my another sister there as well. And you can't really argue after your creative marriage", Kairav glared at Aarohi who started whining and Akshu laughed teasing her.

"But bhai", she cried tugging at his arm but he didn't budge.

"Aaru. I am not repeating again. You aren't going there till I fully trust that guy. I will handle them and send them back", Kairav repeatedly strictly and Aarohi nodded sadly.

"Stop showing your teeth Akshu. If I find out that guy isn't treating you slightest bit of right then I will bring you back as well. Your love and all can go to hell", Kairav said and Akshu stopped laughing. Aarohi silently laughed seeing her puppy face.

"Let's go for food. Come", Kairav instructed and both the sisters followed him. He was holding hands of both of them.

"She's gotten too stubborn. What was the need? She could have come by herself", Manish rolled his eyes.

Naira's and Sirat's other kids stared annoyed at Manish and other Goenkas. Akshu and Kairav glared at him while Aaru looked down sadly.

Abhimanyu too felt a bit bad hearing it and Neil was irritated hearing Manish.

"I see how well you are taking care of my princess"

They heard a sarcastic voice and looked at the door.

The kids yelled shocked. "Papa?!"
