The surrounding was bustling with sounds of crackers, glow of different colored lights everywhere the eyes could see.

Inside the Singhania mansion, everyone sat for the Laxmi pooja. Reading the verses, chanting the name and purely focused on the Aarti.

Though everyone was devoted , the inner concerns differed.

Sam ,dressed up in a maroon kurta with mirror work, stood there with his joined hands as the Aarti went, his patience slipping for the prasad, his favourite sweet and his bike keys kept in his pocket. He couldn't wait enough, he wanted to gobble down the sweets and run towards his girlfriend's house.

He felt the desperation to see her in that newly matching lehenga she teased him about earlier.

Rahul stood next to Divya, staring at the idols of the temple singing the Aarti, wishing for the prosperity of the whole family. They meant to him more than anything.

Divya and Advika , happily sang the Aarti , reading the lyrics from the screen as they didn't remember.

In the center stood Danish and Kashvi, together holding the thaal, Kashvi's eyes focused on the deity, her devotion to the prayer going on visible in the way she carried out the Aarti.

But Danish's eyes focused on her. If her devotion was to the diety, his was to her.
He stopped believing in the Supreme a long back, when life hit him with the cruel realities but he never stopped praying for his mother's belief.

And now he didn't want to back off when his wife was so religiously involved.

All he knew that if there were god, this woman deserve to be blessed with all the happiness in the world.
And he was going to be the way to it.

The pooja ended sooner and Kashvi, gave everyone the dhoop, while Divya distributed the prasad.

As soon as they were done, they ran out with the crackers.

Dadaji sat in a corner watching them light up the fuljhadi,anaar, rockets and skyshots.

The energy surrounded with laughter and positivity.

While the elder Singhania's handled the guests exchanging wishes and sweets.

Sam was about to sit on his bike but got stopped by his elder brother.

" Give me the keys," he ordered and Sam's face faltered at the demand.

" Bhai, not today please," he couldn't tell the truth about where he was going or else Danish would never allow him.
After the way he had messed with the family , his in-laws had fixed the marriage of Reesha with,

Danish wouldn't let him risk going alone.
Sighing , he handed him the keys unable to protest, walking where Kashvi and others were.

His dull face was visible to everyone cause he was like the sunshine of the house but noone said anything.

Rahul grabbed a green sutli bom, turning towards Divya who was busy clicking selfies with Advika , in different poses, making reels and posting the rangoli pictures.

"Oye, chuhiya!" He called out and Divya rolled her eyes glaring at him.

" Kya hai?"

" Ye jalake dikha, nahi toh mai samjhunga tu darpok hai,"
