Radha just looked at them suprised and started chuckling.

„So, you both know eachother?" asked radha.

Ayaan just continued looking at her and divya looked away, in hope that he doesn't tell radha about their awkward meeting.

„Haan..i just saw her at the airport and she asked me about the taxis." said ayaan.

Divya was suprised by his answer and looked at him suprised.

„Acha?" Asked radha.

„But that means that you bith don't know each other. So i'll introduce you."

„Ayaan, this is my best friend Divya." sais radha smiling.

„And Divya, this is Ayaan. He's actually my cousin but i consider him as my brother." she said happily and ayaan smiled.

„Nice to meet you." sais divya smiling.

Ayaan just gave her a smile back.

„Hello hi bye bye..AYAAN BITWA! RADHA! COME! WE'RE STARTING THE RAKHI!"

„We're comming!" said radha and they started the rakhi.

First radha tied the rakhi around ayaan's wrist and he gave her a gift. Radha smiled and they both hugged eachother.

„happy rakhi!" said radha smiling.

Radha then ties the other rakhi on aditya's wrist and then other on arun's wrist, wishing them both a happy rakhi.

The next was muskaan. She smiled at her brother and toed the rakhi around his wrist. Ayaan smiled looking at her.

„Happy rakhi." said muskaan and gave him a smile.

Ayaan gave her a present and they hugged eachother. The next was Aradhya, she tied the rakhi on aditya's wrist and wished him a happy rakhi. Muskaan then toed the rakhi also on arun's wrist wishing him also a happy rakhi.

„Wow! I really love these rakhis! Thank you sissy." said arun and hugged her.

„Excuse me! It's my turn now." said ratna and tied the rakhi around arun's wrist.

„Happy rakhi big brother, i love you."

„I love you too." said ayaan and hugged her. Just when he hugged ratna, he saw divya who had tears in her eyes looking at them. Ayaan's face went from happy to sad as he and ratna broke the hug. Divya saw that he saw her crying and walked away. Ayaan felt sorry for her, even tho he didn't know why she reacted like that. Not even radha recognized that she walked away. The raizadas continued the rakhi till the end of the ceremony. After the ceremony the women started to tidy up the house, arnav and akash continued their work on an important file and the kids started playing together in the living room. Ayaan was sitting on the couch watching the kids playing twister together, but his mind was somewhere else.

„Radha!" Muskaan's voice brought him back on earth and he looked at radha who just walked down the stairs as she looked very tensed.

„Come and play with us!"

„No muskaan, i don't have time for your childish games." said radha and went to the kitchen.

„What the-" started muskaan.

„Muskaan! Sshh!" said ayaan standing up and walked to the kitchen. Radha filled a cup with hot tea.

„What happened?" asked ayaan leaning on the door frame.

Radha looked at him and then back into the cup.

„She's such a drama queen."

„Who?"

Radha looked at him giving him the ‚you know who i mean' look.

„Oh..your friend. But you know that this is a house not a psychiatry." said ayaan and smilee.

„This is not funny." she said and walked pass him.

„Where are you going?" Asked ayaan.

„To your room."

„Ah okey.." he said and then realised what she said.

„Wait! What?! No!" he said and wanted to follow her but then his mother stopped him.

„Ayaan! Please go and bring ratna to her room. She's tired and wants you to tell her a story." said khushi.

„But.."

„Kya?" asked khushi.

Ayaan looked at her face, he didn't want to make her sad.

„Theek hain." he said.

„Come ratna." he said and she jumped into his arms. Ayaan gave her a confused look.

„What? I'm a princess." said ratna and smiled.

Khushi and ayaan laughed and he brought her to her room.

„But fist you have to brush your teeth and wear your pyjama." sais ayaan.

„Yes, but don't look!" said ratna and turned him around.

„Theek hain, theek hain. Chaldi karo." he said.

Ratna wore her pyjama and brushed her teeth in her bathroom. She came out and jumped on the bed.

„Ready." she said smiling. Ayaan smiled and and laid next to her.

„What story do you want to hear?"

„Princess story!"

„Theek hain, i'll try my best." said ayaan and laid on his right arm and ratna hugged him hiding her face in his chest and closed her eyes. Ayaan smiled and kissed her head before he started the story.

Even before he ended the story, ratna fell asleep. Ayaan stood up, notdisturbibg her sleep and got out of the room. He walked to his room and stopped before he entered his room when he heard radha and her friend talking.

„Divya you're so dramatic!" he heard radha saying.

„Why dramatic? You asked me about my-"

„Divya please, just leave."

Ayaan was waiting for another sentence but instead, radha opened the door and just walked away. Ayaan looked at her and turned around to enter his room when suddenly divya bumped into him again. Ayaan held her shoulders as he didn't want to fall on his back again. Divya looked at him. Her eyes were red of crying. She wipped her tears away. And ayaan let go of her.

„Sorry." he said as he looked away.

„No, i'm sorry. It's raksha bandhan..and i came here like an idiot. I'm sorry.." she said and wanted to walk away.

„Uh..suno!"

Divya turned her head and looked at him.

„If..i mean. You look like you need somebody to talk with."

Divya just looked at him.

„So..i mean..i'm a good listener." said ayaan and gave her a smile. Divya smiled and a tear fell on her cheek. She wipped it away again as ayaan told her to enter his room again.
