Aarvi: (Sighs) I can't believe it's our last year of law school, Abhira. It feels
like just yesterday we started.
Abhira: (Smiling) Time flies when you're buried under books, Di. But I’m
more excited about Ruhi. She’s in her third year of MBBS and doing so
well!
Aarvi: Yeah, she’s amazing. Honestly, I don't know how she manages both
medicine and dancing classes with BFF. Speaking of which, did you see
Maasi’s last lecture? She was so inspiring!
Abhira: (Chuckles) I did! You know, Maasi has a way of making even the
most complex medical topics seem simple. I admire her for that.
Aarvi: (Nods) She’s the best. I sometimes wish Ma taught like that.
Pauses But you know, I can’t bring myself to fully open up to her. It just
doesn’t feel right sometimes.
Abhira: (Gently) I know, Di. You’ve had your reasons. But Ma tries in her
own way. Maybe it’s time to give her a chance?
Aarvi: (Softly) Maybe. But it’s hard. My father... I can't forgive him for
what he did. Looks away Anyway, enough about that. Have you seen
Rahul lately?
Abhira: (Smirking) Rahul, huh? You’ve been spending a lot of time with
the principal’s son. What’s going on?
Aarvi: (Blushing) Nothing much... He’s nice. We’ve just been studying
together.
Abhira: (Laughing) Studying, sure. He’s head over heels for you, Di. It's so
obvious!
Aarvi: (Grinning) Is it? Well, I kind of like him too. He’s sweet and makes
me feel... normal, you know?
Abhira: (Warmly) That’s great, Di. You deserve someone who makes you
happy. Have you told BFF about him?
Aarvi: Not yet. I’m not sure how she’d react. She’s always been protective
of me.
Abhira: She’ll understand. She wants what’s best for you. Plus, Rahul is a
good guy. Even Ma might approve.
Ruhi: (Sighs) Exhausting as always, but worth it. And Maa’s dancing
classes are my saving grace.
Abhira: (Jokingly) You mean you still have energy after dissecting
cadavers?
Aarvi: (Laughing) Alright, you two, no fighting. Let’s grab some coffee
before our next class with Ma. We could use the break.
Abhira: (Getting up) Agreed. Lead the way, future lawyers and doctors!
The three friends walk off, chatting and laughing, leaving their worries
behind for a moment.
Akshara: (writing on the board) "So, when we talk about the principles of
natural justice, we need to focus on..."
Akshara: (turns around, sternly) "Abhira, what are you doing here? You
know you're not supposed to interrupt my classes!"
Scene: Akshara bursts into the room where Yuvraj is holding Ruhi.
Akshara: (furiously) "Yuvraj! How dare you do this to Ruhi!"
Akshara: (finally, with a deep breath) "Alright, class. Let's resume. Where
were we? Yes, the principles of natural justice..."
Neha: Aarvi, your sister Abhira spoke to me so rudely! She thinks she can
badmouth me and get away with it. She’s just as arrogant as you are!
Aarvi: (Angry) Neha, mind your words! Abhira would never do that. Stop
blaming her for things she didn’t do!
Akshara: What’s going on here? Neha, what exactly did Abhira do?
Aarvi: Guess what? My mom is going to sing her favorite bhajan for the
guests! It’s going to be amazing!
Swarna Goenka: (Tears in her eyes) Akshara, my daughter, why did you
hide from us? Why did you leave?
Akshara: (Tears welling up) I... I didn’t have the courage. I’m not the
same Akshara anymore.
Swarna Goenka: Aarohi, you’re alive too? Both of you... you betrayed us.
We thought you were dead!
Akshara: (Panicking) No, Badema,it’s not like that. Badepapa, where are
my children?
Aarohi: (Nods) Ruhi is mine and Neil’s daughter. Aaradhya and Abhay,
along with Abhir, are in the USA too.
Manish Goenka: (In shock) Then who have we been taking care of all
these years?
Aarohi: (Nods) Ruhi is mine and Neil’s daughter. Aaradhya and Abhay,
along with Abhir, are in the USA too.
Manish Goenka: (In shock) Then who have we been taking care of all
these years?
Mysterious Figure: (Revealing) The children you were looking after are
mine.
Neha: See, the children you were looking after are my children. Anyways,
I will take them back. And there's good news – Abhimanyu is getting
married to my mother, Sneha, in a few days.
Everyone: Akshara!
Aarvi: (holding Akshara's hand) Mom, we’re all here. We’ll fix everything.
We’ll reunite our family.
(He leads her out of the room to a private cabin in the hospital. He closes
the door behind them.)
Abhimanyu: This marriage... it’s a drama. Sneha has some big plan, and I
needed to uncover it. I’ve only ever loved you, Akshara.
(Outside the window, Aarvi, Abhira, Abhir, Abhay, Aaradhya, Ruhi, and
Rahul watch, shocked and surprised. Aarvi opens the door, rushing in.)
Akshara: (suspiciously) Why are you all coughing? Have you eaten methi
dana?
Aarvi: (giggling) No, Mom. It’s a taunt cough. Rahul and I are... in love.
(Akshara and Abhimanyu exchange surprised glances, then break into
smiles.)
Abhimanyu: (teasingly) After all, kiski beti hai? She’s just like me.
