Akshara: My parents will always be in my heart, but seeing their wax statue in this house, Abhi I'm not sure how to express it, but I feel like this house has fully come to life. All thanks to you. She looked at him while still in his arm.
You know i always useto hug mumma and papa together but today as i held mumma dupatta and hugged papa's wax statue i was able to feel the same comfort that i got from both she said slightly smiling.

They stayed in eachothers arm for sometime. Feelijg comfortable with the silence between them. Akshara thumb softly caressing Kaira's frame back and forth

Abhimanyu: Shall we go down now? He asked after a while.

Akshara wiped her tears away and nodded. She placed the frame next to the table lamp.
Abhi cupped her face and wiped her tears with his thumb, while she glanced at him with love.

Abhi smiled at Akshara as he helped her stand up. He tucked one strand behind her ears and extended his hand. Akshara intertwined her fingers with Abhimanyu's as they neared the door.When Abhimanyu was about to turn off the lights, Akshara stopped him.

Akshara, leave the lights on for Abhi. Kartik and Naira will be back to this room. Even if it was just a statue, it meant everything to us. For many years, this room has embraced darkness. Let it  take in some light now. She looked around the room and then back to Abhimanyu, who smiled at her.

As Akshara and Abhimanyu walked down the steps, they noticed the Birlas and Goenkas beside the wax statue. He approached them and held the hand of Naira and Kartik's wax statues while looking at everyone. He strolled around the hall, smiling as everyone stared at him and then at the wheels on the bottoms of the statues. As he came to stop, he paused near the wall, where smiling Kaira's photo frame was draped in garlands and the wax statue of joyful Naira and Kartik stood in front. Everyone's gaze shifted back and forth.

Ranveer smiled as he wiped his tears away. Whenever there was a happy moment, the Goenkas would sing and dance. After Kartik and Naira died, they rarely did this.

(Male version) do look for scenes beanth the lyrics

haan aisi rasmon kasmom pe dil balhaari jaaye

Ranveer walked towards the wax statue taking evil eyes of it.

Ho Apne ho jaate hai
Jo kal tak the paraaye

Manish walked to Abhi and Akshara as he pulled them in for a hug as he sang this line

armaano ke aangan mein
jaazbaat ka hai sangam

Birla family held hands while Harshvardan sang this line and moved towards the Goenkas

ye toh do aangan mehkaata hai..

Both family held hands as Abhira stood in the middle joining both family

yeh rishta kya kehlata hai
Ho..o..o
yeh rishta kya kehlata hai

All sang in the end.

****

Manish: Abhi. Beta, what you've done is beyond our imagination. The amount of time we will thank you will be less. Thank you, beta. He was ready to fold his hands when Abhimanyu stopped him.

Abhimanyu: Please do not fold your hands, Dadu. I did what I thought was right, and it was entirely because of Akshu that I came up with this idea. He said this while looking at everyone, and lastly Akshara.

Akshara: No. Abhi, you alone deserve all of the credit. You listened to what I said and turned it into a reality. So Thank you, Abhi. From everyone. Dil se. She placed her hand on her heart as Abhi cupped her cheeks. Taking one of her hand, he kissed the back of her palms.

Sahil: Akshara is very lucky to have Abhimanyu, he murmured quietly.

Vidyut: And Abhi is very lucky to have Akshara. He spoke as they stood together. Everyone smiled as they watched Abhira.

The scene was at such where Kaira's wax statue stood behind, Birla family on side of it and Goenka's on the other side while Abhirs stood in the middle. And the gang surrounded them for a group hug. A smile on everyone's face.

Mahima: We should leave now. She looked at her family before turning to to the Goenkas.

Abhimanyu: Already? He whispered with a sad look. Akshara gazed at him and smiled slowly.

Swarna: So soon? Stay for some more time na.

Manjari: We would love to but. Doctors and their work schedule tomorrow. She said smiling to which they nodded.

They all embraced each other and exchanged brief words.

Abhimanyu pulled Akahara to the side as the elders talked.

Akshara: What are you doing, Abhi? Everybody will look for us. She murmured in a quiet voice as they stood in the corner, away from everyone.

Abhimanyu: Let them. I'm spending time with my wife. He replied, resting his forehead against Akshara's, which made her smile.

Akshara: Abhi, spending too much time is bad for your health. She spoke in a playful manner.

Abhimanyu: Well, you are a good reason for my health, and such medication has no side effects other than the fact that I will not be able to get enough of you. He whispered this as he pulled his face away from her and swung her back and forth slowly.

Vidyut: Wah, what's going on ? He said this while smiling teasingly. Abhira stared at each other before looking around to find the group surrounding them. Both backed away somewhat.

Arohi: I didn't realise my sister was so romantic, she teased as Akshara looked at her.

Sahil: Akshu, be honest. You were secretly reading romantic romances in london, right?

Akshara: Sahilll. Shut up.

Juhi: Kya, shut up. Sahil. Now I'm thinking the same thing. Sach sach bata, Akshu. How many romantic novels have you read in London? She said it with a joking tone.

Akshara: None okay. Happy. She said glaring at them.

Vidyut: How did you learn to be so romantic? Or let me guess you were watching a romantic movie. He said, pretending to think, while Akshara smacked him on the arm, making him laugh.

Abhimanyu: You all have nothing better to do than disturb our romantic time. He said annoyingly.

Neil: Bhai. That is our birth right. How could we miss that?

Abhimanyu: Beta, if you speak one more word, I'll show you an example of your birth rights at home.

Neil: big brother. You are older than me, warna,  I would have beaten you black and blue. He said this while standing in a defensive pose.

Abhimanyu: Acha. Let me see as well. He said, raising his eyebrows.

Akshara: Abhi, don't even think about laying a finger on my devar.

Neil: Bhabs. You're amazing, my cutie. He blew a flying kiss to Akshara and stuck his tongue out at Abhimanyu.

Abhimanyu: Akshara ma'am, why are you supporting him? You realise he's involved in  teasing us, right?

Akshara: This is a Bhabhi Devar tuning. You remain out of it. She said, causing Abhi to raise his eyebrows.

Arohi: Wah. Sister teases, she gets angry look, but Devar teases, that's fine. She said, rolling her eyes.

Neil: Aww, Arohi baby. Don't be jealous.

Abhimanyu: Don't worry, Arohi. We will work on the Jija sali relation. He said this as Arohi gave him a high-five.

Arohi: Done, but I still have the right to tease you. So, deal with it.

Abhimanyu: wah kya sali mili mujhien.

Vidyut: Did you see that Sahil? We came to tease these two but had no idea how the teasing session was making its way to devar bhabhi then to Jija Saali Battel. He said, making Sahil chuckle.

Juhi: And we three become kebab mai hadi. She said, wiping her invisible tears.

Akshara: Awww. Don't worry, we can't live without you, kebab mai hadis. She said.

They all glanced at each other and ended up laughing, creating a large group hug while the elders watched with a smile from a distance.

*
After the Birlas left, Akshara went to her room and shut the door. She had a smile on her face. As she approached her dressing table to remove her earrings, she frowned and saw she was still smiling. She frowned as she stared at  mirror.

Akshara: Why am I smiling? She asked herself when she had flashes of what Abhimanyu had done today, which made a smile return to her face. She murmured "mil gaya jawab" while looking in the mirror.

Suddenly, she heard a noise. She turned around and saw no sign.
When she heard the sounds again, she thought it was a figment of her imagination and removed her bangles. When she looked in the mirror again, however, her eyes widened.

Akshara: Abhiii! She turned around to see Abhi dangling on the window, one leg inside and the other outside, as he proceeded to get in.

Abhimanyu: Akshuuu, what a pleasant surprise, he said, entering but stumbling slightly.

Akshara: Pleasant surprise, my foot. You left a while ago, so why are you still here? She questioned as she approached him.

Abhimanyu: Well, I was going when I remembered I had forgotten something. He said with a smile, folding both of his hands behind his back.

Akshara: What? You don't have anything other than your phone. She spoke with a frown.

Abhimanyu leaned forward with a mischievous smirk as he approached her ear, while Akshara studied him.

Abhimanyu: My kiss. He murmured into her ears. Akshara closed her eyes for a few seconds, feeling tingling sensations crawl up her skin as he spoke into her ear. His lips barely touched her ear, yet they still caused a havaco in her.

Akshara opened her eyes as she noticed Abhimanyu move away. She could feel her cheeks heating up and headed towards the dressing table.

Akshara: All of this is not allowed before marriage. She said this while glancing up, a teasing smile on her lips.

Abhimanyu:.If I'm not mistaken, we're already married. He spoke softly as he approached her.

Akshara: If I'm not mistaken, we're getting married again. She said, mirroring his soft tone.

Abhimanyu: As far as I remember. You are still my wife, therefore I have all the right to kiss you. And as far as I remember, I had already given my proposal speech explaining why I wanted to remarry you. Unless you want me to remind you, he was going to hold Akshara, but she swiftly moved away.

Akshara: Achha? What if I'm in no mood to give you a kiss? She said this while walking backwards, hands behind her back.

Abhimanyu: Akshu. You should know me by now. He said taking small steps towards her with a teasing smile.

Akshara: You should know me by now too. She said with the same teasing smile on her face.

Both looked at each other, one taking a step back, the other forward. Both of their lips curled with a teasing smile.

Abhimanyu stretched his hand to hold Akshara when he was close enough to her, but she backed away and ran towards the bed.

Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Abhi's eyes on her and the smile on his lips as he approached her. But before he got to her, she moved to the opposite side, putting a distance between them.
Abhimanyu smirked when he noticed Akshara standing in the corner.
As he moved slowly towards her, he noticed her about to make a move, but before she could, he caught her wrist and wrapped his other hand over her lower back, lifting her feet off the ground and spinning her around. Akshara looked surprised while the smile on Abhimanyu's face widened.

Abhimanyu: Now, how are you going to get out of this love cage? He whispered as he placed her down with his arm still around her.

Akshara: Maybe I don't want to escape. She spoke with the same tone.

Abhimanyu brushed her cheek with his thumb, resting one hand on her waist. Akshara fisted Abhimanyu's shirt with that simple act of his. Her eyes closed as he neared.

Arohi: Akshu I came here to tell you. But she came to a halt in her tracks, one hand on the door knob and the other in the air, as she noticed Abhira's stance.

Both Abhira had turned to the door and for a second both froze seeing Arohi. Akshara pushed Abhimanyu away.

Arohi: God, imagine if someone else saw you in this position. If you wanted to spend romantic time together, you should at least have locked the door. She showed seriousness for a second and then and winked at Abhira with a mischievous smile after few seconds .

Abhimanyu: The plan was to spend a romantic moment together, but it was always interrupted since there are so many kebab mai haddi surrounding us. How could I forget that you and Neil were made for each other. He does not allow us to romance at Birla Mansion, and you do not allow it here. He was making a fuss. While Akshara stared at Abhimanyu with her mouth wide open, Arohi stood in her place as Abhi looked.annoyed and then rolled her eyes.

Arohi: Oho, someone seems to be madly in love. She walked over to Abhimanyu and elbowed him in the arm, earning a glare from him

Abhimanyu: Yet I can't show off my talent, he muttered with an irritated expression. Akshara elbowed him, and Arohi shook her head at him.

Akshara: Abhi. It's late, so go home. Everyone is on their way and you are still here. She faced Abhimanyu, who sighed.

Abhimanyu: Kya socha tha aur kya ho gaya. He said.

Arohi: Abhi, if you want, I can bring some snacks and place a do not disturb sign on the door if you wish to stay. She smiled teasingly as she raised her eyebrows.

Akshara: Aru shut up.

Abhimanyu: No thanks, Aru. I am fine as a result of your huge interruption. He pretended to grin at her for a second before scowling at her.

Arohi: Suit yourself. She said shrugging her shoulder.

Abhimanyu turned to Akshara and took her in for a hug, swinging her back and forth for a few seconds before kissing her forehead while she smiled at him. Wheras Arohi watched them with a smile.

Abhimanyu: Take care. He whispered to which she nodded.

Akshara: You too and drive safe. She said.

Arohi: Awwwww. That's so sweet. She said this, and Abhi gazed at her for a second before hugging Akshara again.

As Abhimanyu neared the window and was about to climb out, Arohi spoke.

Arohi: Abhi. If you forgot, we do have a main door. She spoke playfully.

Abhimanyu: I am well aware of this, but thank you for reminding me, Aru ji. However, you will be aware that I left with my family in front of everyone.
So I can't go down and say hello  everyone. I came back to see Akshara through the window, so I'll leave by the main door tata bye bye.
Okay Aru ji. bye aaj ka dose katham. He said and exited the window.

Akshara approached the window and waited until Abhimanyu was safely down, while Arohi joined her near the window.

Abhimanyu looked up and waved to Akshara, who waved back. He tossed his tongue out at Arohi, and she did the same. They saw him walk towards the main gate because he had parked outside.

As he was out of sight Arohi moved away from the window,  when she felt a slap on her arm.

Arohi: Owww. Why are you hitting me. She said rubbing her arm.

Akshara: Why were you teasing him like that?

!Arohi stopped rubbing her arm when a teasing smile formed on her face.

Arohi: Awww Akshu baby didn't like me teasing her husband. How sweet. Aag dono taraf hai.

Akshara: Aru, shut up. It's not like that. He came just to say goodbye.

Arohi: ahaan sure he did. Saying bye infront of everyone and then personally coming to say bye, the way both of your faces were so close anyone would have guessed that you both...
But then she couldn't finish her sentence because Akshara started running after her. This went on for a few minutes before they both landed on the bed and laughed, trying to keep their breathing steady despite all the running.

Arohi turned to face Akshara and sat up after a few seconds, though Akshara remained in the same position.

Arohi: Akshu.

Akshara: Hmm she said turning to look at Arohi while playing with her bracelet.

Arohi: Thank you from all of us.

Akshara frowned and sat up.

Akshara: For what?

Arohi: for returning the old Abhimanyu. Even if Kadhoos Abhimanyu is still present, we can now see a glimpse of the old Abhimanyu Birla. Of Abhi, whom we had all known since childhood.

Akshara: He was always present, Aru, but due to whatever happened, he hid the old carefree Abhimanyu beneath this serious one. She spoke while Arohi nodded.
But today we have a mix of Kadhoos and carefree Abhimanyu. She said with a smile, and Arohi chuckled.

Arohi: I am truly happy for you, babes. And after what Abhi did today, I can assure you that he will go to any length to make what you want come true.

Akshara smiled as she recalled his sweet stunt that he perfomed today.

Akshara: I'm not sure if I can do what he has done or think as he does, but I know I love him so much that I'm afraid of losing him, Aru.
I assure Abhi that we will be away for some time, but I  have the fear of him going away.
I know nothing will happen, but I can't lose him or anybody else in any manner that I lost my parents. She uttered the last bit quietly, and Arohi melted at Akshara's expression.

" Since when did my friend become negative?"

Arohi and Akshara both looked towards the door to see Sahil, who came and sat down.

Sahil: You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking like that. Why are you afraid Akshu.
You and Abhi finally confessed, both will be getting married again. There is finally a happily ever after.
I understand that what happened to Uncle and Aunty will never be forgotten, but that doesn't mean that whenever we are happy, something bad will happen.
You and Abhi were fighting a battle against one other and yourselves. That battle finally accepted defeat, and love won. You were destined to be together and will always be. He said, touching her cheek.

Akshara smiled. She gave Sahil a quick look before slowly nodding. Sitting on her knees on the bed, she pulled him into a hug.

Akshara: You know what, Sahil. You're a blessing in my life. Someone as important as everyone, and I'm not sure what I would have done if you hadn't been with me in London. If I am this way, it is only because of you. Thank you for always being present and the way you are. She spoke after breaking the hug.

Sahil: Ab, what can I do? This poor heart couldn't tolerate the sad look on your face and wanted to become friends with you. See how fortunate you are to have such a handsome a friend. He spoke, making Akshara roll her eyes.

Arohi: Sahil, you, too, are lucky. It's not easy being a member of our group, yet look at you. You have been accepted into our gang, which many people would give their lives to join. She said dramatically.

Sahil: Well thank  you very much. My charms is such that nobody can resist my friendship. He said and all 3 ended up laughing.
