At the Birla mansion Manjari had informed the about the holi plans with the Goenka's and also Parth finding a place that is closer to the hopsital incase if there was any emergency.

Neil:.Holi will be more enjoyable now that Akshara bhabhi has returned. I will inform the rest.

Manjari: that's not needed because Swarna ji said Arohi would do it.

Abhi smiled thinking about holi.

Abhimanyu: I used to dislike Holi. I'd always been frustrated by getting coated in different colours and having to wash them off. But you always liked it, Akshu. When you had gone away all those years, everyone dragged me to play Holi, even though I tried to avoid it as much as possible since I would always see your smiling face in those colours, unaware that I used to smile as well.
Not realising that I had begun to enjoy Holi under the pretext of seeing your flashes. But now I'm excited to celebrate Holi with you. Our first Holi before getting engaged again. So, Mrs. Abhimanyu Birla, be ready to wrap yourself in the colour of my affection. As he spoke, he caressed Akshara's image.

Meanwhile, at the Goneka residence, Akshara entered her bedroom and laid down on her bed. Looking at Abhimanyu's picture on the wall, she sat up and chuckled.

Akshara: Everybody's talking about Holi. But how do I tell everyone I've stopped playing Holi? After moving to London and being away from everyone, including Abhi, I stopped celebrating Holi. Holi was something that I enjoyed with everyone. To annoy Abhi and cover him in all colours while it made him irritated. Staying away from everyone made me less excited about this festival, and now I can't wait to tell Abhi that he finally has a partner who doesn't enjoy Holi just like him and will give him company while avoiding getting coloured. She said, smiling in a daze.

The next day, everyone was getting ready at both the Birla and Goenka mansions for the Holi festivities.

Akshara got ready wearing a white long kurti that revealed her stomach slightly and jeans.

Akshara: Everyone else will have fun at Holi, while Abhi and me can spend some time together. She spoke while she examined herself in the mirror.

When Akshara came down, she bumped into Keerti and Naksh, who were taken aback to see her ready for holi.

Keerti: Bacha. I'm so glad you'll finally be celebrating Holi with everyone.

Akshara: Nahi bua, I just got ready like that. Abhi is also not a big fan of Holi, so we can spend some time together. I just didn't inform anyone in the family since I didn't want to spoil the atmosphere.

Naksh: What if everyone see you are not celebrating Holi?

Akshara: Don't worry, mamu, nobody would know because everyone will be playing Holi.

Keerti: Okay, but if you could stay for a while for the sake of everyone, that would be great. Please, akshu.

Akshara paused before saying, "Okay, fine."

Meanwhile, at Birla Mansion, Abhi was excited to celebrate Holi with Akshara.

Abhimanyu: Akshu. Get ready to be entirely covered in the colour of my love. I can't wait to see the shocked expression on your face when you see your Abhi finally enjoying Holi. He smiled to himself.

Neil yelled, "Oh, Mr. Romeo, let's go, we're running late," but ran away as Abhi was ready to chase him.

Twenty minutes later, the Goenkas arrived at the location to find other well-known people, including the Birla family, enjoying Holi, while Vidyut and Juhi had also come.

Arohi: Akshu, sahil come she said..

Akshara: You go, and I'll look for for Abhi.

Arohi: Arien Akshudi. Abhi will be playing Holi with the rest.

Akshara looked at Arohi befor speaking "Come on Aru, you know how Abhi dislikes Holi kuch bhi mat bolo," before heading away to look for Abhi.

Sahil: As usual, Akshara avoids playing Holi.

Arohi stopped in her track and turned to Sahil.

Arohi: What did you say?

Sahi: What did i say? He asked confusingly

Arohi: What about Akshata avoiding Holi? I am sure I misheard.

Sahil: Yes. I mean, in London, she hardly played Holi.

Arohi: What! She murmured this as her eyes widened.

Sahil: What what?

Arohi: Akshu liked Holi, so why did she quit playing it.

Sahil laughed as he said, "A mystery to solve."

Arohi: Akshu, who used to love Holi, no longer enjoys it, and Abhi, who used to avoid Holi, now loves it.

Sahil: Akshara loved holi while Abhi avoided it? He asked surprised.

Akshara was looking for Abhi when Arohi and Sahil approached her.

Arohi: Abhi is there with the rest of them. She said.

Akshara, how do you know? Did Neil say Abhi is sitting while watching everyone play Holi?

Arohi: See yourself. Arohi smirked, whereas Sahil controlled his smile.

Meanwhile.

Abhi and the gang were enjoying Holi and were completely covered in colour. He couldn't wait until Akshu arrived.

Akshara, who was walking alongside Arohi and Sahil, approached the gang. She grinned as she noticed someone playing Holi with his back to her. Her eyes darted around looking for Abhi when she stopped for a while and shifted to the guy who still had his back to her, as if she knew who he was.

Akshara: Abhiii, her eyes widened as she saw him turn around playing Holi with the others.

Abhi saw Akshu and hurried towards her, making her to back away as she stood behind Arohi, as he was going to apply colour to her face.

Akshara: you like holi? she said making a face.

Abhi: you dont like holi? He asked seen her move behind Arohi.

Neil: Looks like bhai drank bhang; why wouldn't bhabhi enjoy Holi? He spoke to Vidyut and Juhi, but the other youngsters nearby heard.

Abhi was going to move behind Arohi when Akshara went to the opposite side.

Akshara: No no abhi please.

Abhimanyu: See. he said looking at the rest.

Kairav, what has happened? Why are you all standing there? He stated this as he arrived with Parth and Vansh.

Juhi: Akshara doesnt like holi.

Vansh, Kairav and parth frowned.

Kairav: How is this possible? He spoke while glancing at Akshara.

Akshara: I'm not sure. I just stopped liking it.

Arohi: come on Akshu a bit of colour atleast.

Aksahra: no.

Neil cracked laughing as he stared at Abhi and then Akshara, while everyone else looked at him in confusion.

Parth: Neil. What's so funny?

Neil: It's strange that before Bhabhi loved Holi and Bhai didn't, and now Bhai loves Holi but Bhabhi doesn't.

Abhimanyu glared at Neil.

Abhimanyu: kya yaar Akshu. Here i thought we will enjoy holi togther but you threw a big bomb at me. He said dramatically.

Akshara: haan toh ? You could have asked me.

Abhimanyu: haan as if i would have gotten a notification that Akshara doesnt enjoy holi anymore. The rest looked on with a small smile.

Akshara: haan toh how would i know that you would enjoy holi all of a sudden.

Vidyut: come on Akshara.

Sahil: haan Akshu come on.

Akshara: What come on i don't want to play you all play.

Abhimanyu looked at the colours in his hand and at Akshara, recalling how, even though he was not a fan of Holi, Akshu would still apply colours to him. He smirked.

Abhimanyu: Come on, Akshu. He smiled mischievously as he took a step towards her.

Akshara: What come on i said no right. she said taking a step back.

The rest found it amusing. Everyone was screaming Abhi's name while Akshara glared at them.

Akshara: Abhi, you're kind and understanding, so you won't do that, she said, giving him a puppy look..

Abhimanyu: Awww, you look adorable, but I'm not going to change my mind. I'm going to apply the colour of my love on you," he said.

Abhimanyu took more steps towards her as she continued to move backward. Akshara turned and ran, while Abhi smiled and followed a few seconds later.

Akshara went through all the elders, avoiding getting any colour on her. A small smile appeared on her face. She kept running with Abhi behind her. Taking a plate of colours, she smiled and threw it at Abhi before running away, his smile growing wider.

Abhimanyu: I'm going to colour you regardless. He spoke loud enough for Akshara to hear.

This went on for several minutes. Akshaara relaxed against a tree and turned around, seeing no trace of Abhi.

Abhi: Looking for me, he whispered into her ears as he neared her. Standing so close but barely touching her.

Akshara's breathing was heavier for two reasons: one was evident due to running, and the other was due to his close proximity...

Akshara pushed Abhi and was going to run, but Abhi grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, causing her back to land on his chest.

Abhi moved his hand and slowly applied colour across her stomach, where some of her skin was showing due to the blouse she was wearing. She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. Abhi brushed her right cheek with his nose as his other hand moved to her face. He turned her around and lifted his other hand, delicately spreading the leftover colours on her cheeks as he stared at her, making her heart beat 10x faster. Abhi's hands then moved down the side of her neck, down to her shoudler, and onto her arm, where some colour was applied.

He took a step forward as he caged Akshara against the tree and him. As he leaned forward, Akshara closed her eyes, making Abhi smile as he got closer to her ears.

Abhimanyu: I told you na that I would paint the colour of my love on you. He said in a deep voice, sending a tingling sensation through her.

Abhimanyu held her cheeks and placed his forehead against hers, a smile spread across both of their faces as their eyelids stayed closed.

********

Abhimanyu and Akshara sat on a bench in the background, as gorillas, the gang, and other well-known people celebrated Holi.

Abhi massaged Akshara's knuckles, which were wrapped around his arm as she leaned on his shoulder, and he laid his cheek on top of her head as they watched their loved ones enjoy Holi from a distance.

Akshara: It's funny that you're enjoying Holi while I'm running away, when it should have been the other way around.

Abhi chuckled.

Abhimanyu: Until this morning, I was thinking about how happy you would be to see me fully enjoying Holi.

Akshara: And here I thought I'd surprise you by revealing that you have me as your company to escape Holi.

Abhimanyu: And in return, we were both shocked, he said with a chuckle, to which Akshara joined him.

Akshara: I didn't even tell anyone at home because I know if I did, they wouldn't be enjoying Holi as freely as I am, but would make sure I am comfortable with whatever I am doing.

Abhimanyu: Well, now that they've seen the colour on you, they won't doubt. Askahra grinned at his words.

Taking some colour from her face, she put it on his already coloured face.

Suddenly the gang came near them.

Vidyut: lo. Love birds are sitting here.

Neil: Wah, mere bhai. You finally coloured Bhabhi. I am proud of you, mere sher. He said, patting Abhimanyu's back.

The rest chuckled while Abhimanyu glared at Neil.

Kairav: Akshu. Can we apply colour on you too, or does only Abhi have the right? he asked teasingly.

Akshara: "Bhaiiii," she said, lifting her head from Abhi's shoulder.

Vansh: we take that as a yes he said as all applied colour on Akshara.

Walking towards the elders they all enjoyed holi in full swing.

****

Abhimanyu went to get more colours when Naksh came towards him.

Naksh: Abhi.

Abhimanyu: jee mamu.

Naksh took a step forward and hugged Abhimanyu, who was taken aback for a second before hugging him back.

Abhimanyu: All good mamu? He asked after a while.

Naksh broke the hug and smiled at Abhimanyu.

Naksh: For making Goenka mansion more lively. You know everyone had come to terms that kartik and Naira are no more. We somehwere started to live with their memories all these years. But you one surprise of yours made us feel that Kartik and Naira are here. Be it in the form of statue but they are still here he said. His eyes brimming up.

Abhimanyu: Mamu, there is no need to thank me. What I did was for you all, including Akshu. If Akshu hadn't expressed her wish, I would never have thought of this, and believe me, the Birla family feels like they have gotten members of their family back after all we all one big gorilla family.

Naksh: you are right but gorilla?

Abhimanyu: goneka + Birla = to gorilla he said smiling to which Naksh chuckled.

Precrap: engagement
