We see a huge room fully coloured with white colour and lots of teddy bears around the room. The walls of the room has huge number of photo frames. The room is looking cute. It has a small library place at one corner with a book shelf containing lots of children books, fairy tales, super hero books etc. There is a small white coloured study table which has the designs of Rapunzel on its seat. The study lamp is also covered with Disney Princess's pictures. With every thing around the room looked like a Disney land. On the middle of the room there is a big bed which has the bed cover of Disney princess again.

On that bed we see two figures sleeping peacefully. One is man and another is cute little doll like girl happily resting her head on the man’s chest and sleeping very much peacefully while the man is holding her protectively.

They hear a huge 'creekkkkkkkk' sound and both get up with jerk.

“Daddaaa!” The cute little girl whines in her sleepy tone.

The man bites his tongue and switches of the alarm that’s still ringing. He looks at his princess and holds his ear making a cute Puppy face. The cute little girl smiles and kisses his cheek.

“Good Morning Princess!” He says smiling happily.

“Good Morning Dadda!” She says happily smiling.

“So what’s the plan for today?” he asks pulling her cheeks.

“You said we will get a new school bag! You again forgot!” she pouts.

“Aww… You think Dadda always forgets?” he asks frowning.

“Ofcourse!” she says and giggles. 

“Hey Laksh Maheshwari never forgets anything!” he says in an attitude revealing himself to be Laksh.

The little girl laughs rolling on him. He smiles but frowns acting to be annoyed.

“Dadda you don’t even know to act well!” she says giggling.

“Achaaa! I will show you what I know!” saying he starts tickling the little girl making her laugh loud and uncontrollably.

“Dadda stop… stopp…” She requests him to stop in between her laughter.

He chuckles and stops tickling. She pouts and moves away from him. He smiles and turns towards her.

“What happened to my Princess?”

“Anvi Laksh Maheshwari is angry on Laksh Maheshwari!” She says looking away.

“And how can Laksh Maheshwari make it up?”

“By getting a beautifullll Disney Princess school bag!” she says with excited face.

He acts like thinking. She frowns cutely.

“Daddaaaaa!” she whines again making him laugh.

He pulls her into his embrace and kisses her head.

“Your wish My command Princess! Get ready. We will go to shopping, then we will go out for lunch. Deal?” he asks showing his fisted arm for her to hit.

She hits his fisted arm with her fisted arm grinning and screams happily 'Deeeaaaalllll'. Laksh laughs.

“So I will send Santha Kaki. She will help you to get fresh. I will till then get fresh in my room. Then have breakfast and drink milk like a good girl. Then we will go.” He says strictly to her.

She makes yuck face.

“No milk. Please Dadda. Please. It’s Sunday! Means holiday!” she says.

“Sunday is a holiday for work and school but not for milk Princess! Don’t teach me new rules. I am your Dadda!” he says looking at her with frown.

She pouts. He shakes his head as no. She pouts even more. He still didn’t budge. She makes a crying face. He still says no. She gives up and nods ok.

“Now run!” he says putting her down on the floor.

She runs into the washroom while he moves out of the room smiling at her.

A girl gets down the train holding her bag looking around. She looks at a man who is waiting for her. She moves towards him and pats his shoulder. He turns and looks at her. His eyes immediately turn teary. He just pulls her into a hug and hugs her tight. The girl also hugs him tight.

“I missed you so much Princess!” the man says with choking voice.

“I missed you too papa!” She says hugging him tight.

He breaks the hug and cups her face.

“Finally after seven long years you are back. You don’t know how much we craved to see you.” The man says with longingness in his eyes. 

“I am sorry papa.” The girl says looking down.

“No princess don’t say sorry. I know it’s not easy for you after what all happened. I am happy that your nani and nanu became your huge support.” He consoles her.

The girl smiles. He kisses her forehead.

“Chalo your ma is waiting for you. She has made all your favourite dishes. She is very excited.”

The girl smiles. They reach a house which is a one storied individual building. In the entrance her mother is waiting for her eagerly.

“Ragu!” Her mother hugs her tight as soon as she sees her revealing the girl to be Ragini.

Ragini smiles and hugs her mother back tight. It’s been seven years they met. They spoke everyday through phone but didn’t meet each other.

“Ma please stop na. I came back to start fresh. Please.” She requests her mother not to cry and help her in starting fresh.

Janaki smiles with tears and nods yes. Shekhar caresses her head.

“Where is bhayyu?” Ragini asks looking around for her brother.

“You know he is still angry at you for leaving us. He will come in an hour then speak to him.” Her mother says.

“Another task. Papaaaaa!” she whines and pouts.

They both chuckle and shrug their shoulder. Just then they hear a bike sound.

“You said one hour?” She asks looking at her mother.

“You think he will stay away after knowing you are back?” her father winks at her.

Ragini giggles. A man enters with stiff face. She looks at the man. The man also looks at her. He turns his face away and was about to go but stops as she held his hand.

“How is bhabhi?” She asks intentionally smirking as she knows this will hit her brother’s ego.

He loves her so much and her ignorance will make him a hot air bubble in anger. He ignores her.

‘Huh! She didn’t even ask me how am I? I am angry that’s all!’ He thinks making faces.

Ragini winks at both her parents and start tickling her brother. He starts jumping.

“Ahhh!! Ragu… stop… Ragu….” Viren shouts trying to stop Ragini and also laughing.

Ragini laughs more tickling him while he keeps laughing. Finally she stops and he pulls her into his embrace.

“You know I Hate You so much!” Viren says hugging her tight.

Ragini smiles.

“I am sorry!” she whispers.

He breaks the hug and cups her face.

“I know it’s not easy for you. I am angry on you. But I am also proud of you that you chose something wise than something stupid. I am every second thankful to god for giving you brain finally after 21 years of your birth and I hope you still have that brain with you!” he says last line mischievously.

Ragini’s eyes widen realising what he meant. She fumes.

“Bhayyuuuuuu!” she screams and he immediately starts running laughing at her.

She keeps chasing him while he keeps running all over the house laughing and escaping from her. ShekJan stand there with teary smiles looking their house back to happiness.

Finally Ragini gets hold of him and starts beating him with all her strength while he keeps screaming loudly asking his parents to help.

“You deserve that idiot!” says their father.

But their mother moves towards them and stops Ragini.

“Enough! You brainless Princess of your father. Stop hitting my son!” She says with fake anger.

Viren laughs holding his stomach while Ragini looks at her mother with wide eyes.

“This is soooo bad! I am going back!” Ragini whines.

Viren hugs her.

“I am not letting you go back again Princess. Enough of going away. I know you have had enough time to compose yourself for what happened to you. Now My Princess is back being strong.” He says caressing her hair.

Ragini smiles.

“You know Bhayyu! You are the bestest!” She says hugging him tight.

“I know😎” Viren says with attitude.

Ragini opens her mouth wide. She stamps his leg making him wince breaking the hug. All the other three laugh. He pouts and sits on the couch. Ragini sits beside him followed by their parents also getting settled beside them.

“I am asking seriously Bhayyu! How is bhabhi?” she asks looking at Viren.

“She is fine Princess! She will visit you in the evening. Happy?” he asks.

Ragini smiles.

“And when are you planning to marry? It’s been ten years of your relationship!” she asks giving one glance to her parents.

“Ma I am hungry!” He says ignoring her question and looking at Janaki.

Ragini sighs.

“Ragu go fresh yourself and come. Till then I will arrange the dining table.” Janaki says.

Shekhar caresses her head and signs her to go. Ragini nods and goes.

“I am coming to help you ma!” saying Viren goes back of Janaki.

Shekhar smiles seeing his whole family together again.

“Please Dadda!” Anvi pleads making a cute puppy face.

Laksh shakes his head as no. She makes a yuck face and starts drinking her milk. She gulps the whole glass at a time and looks at Laksh. He chuckles seeing her milk moustache. He cleans her face.

“So let’s go!” he says.

She nods yes vigorously. He lifts her in his arms and kisses her cheek. Anvi keeps speaking about her friends and how she spent in her school in the fifteen days. It’s been just fifteen days she started going to school. Laksh was busy and couldn’t hear her school stories though he makes sure he feeds her dinner and sleeps with her. Both used to get tired every day and sleep without having a father daughter time. Finally he got free yesterday and they decided to spend their whole Sunday with no disturbance. Laksh is listening to Anvi while she is sharing about her friends while driving the car. He smiles seeing her happy face.

They get down the car once they reach the mall. He takes her in his arms and walks inside the mall listening and talking to her childishly making her giggle and laugh.

***** 

Ragini and Viren are in her room while she is arranging her clothes.

“So how is everything going?” she asks looking at Viren.

“Nothing special princess. The same old business deals and all. Anyway papa has got a new house.” He says.

“Again?” she asks in disbelief.

“And as usual he has rented for free of cost for the needy!” she says with smile.

Viren smiles nodding.

“Bhayyu let’s go somewhere!” she asks sitting beside him bored.

“Where?” he asks with raised eyebrow.

“The old park. I missed it so much!” she says.

“Now in this sunny afternoon?” he asks shaking his head.

“Now there will be no-one. We can cherish our moments without disturbance. Chalo na!” she starts pulling him.

He shakes his head and gets up. He was about to take his bike keys but she snatches before he could and runs.

“Noooo! I don’t want to die!” he whines.

Ragini giggles while running and starts the bike.

“Papa look at me one last time!” he says loudly so that Ragini can hear from outside.

Ragini laughs outside while Shekhar and Janaki who are sitting in the hall shake their head. He stamps his foot and runs outside the house to see Ragini waiting for him tapping her fingers on the bike. He makes faces and gets on to the bike. Ragini grins and starts driving.

“Wow! Bro you are riding it pretty well now! Don’t tell me you had stolen the bikes of village people there and ride them.” He says teasingly.

Ragini fumes.

“Remember that I am riding the bike Bhayyu!” She threatens him smirking.

He chuckles.

“But you know you really have improved a lot. How did this happen?” he asks.

“Nanu! Ahhh! He is an awesome rider. He taught me.” She says winking.

“There in the village?” he asks with wide eyes.

“Oh hello! Don’t take it lightly. Once go and see how people have become there. It’s amazing there with both modern and traditional touch. Nanu has become a good impact for everyone there. You know bhayyu they send their every child to school without gender discrimination unlike in our childhood. Once you also visit and come. Nanu and Nani will be happiest that you went there. In these seven years you never came there atleast for me also.” She glares him through the rare mirror.

“Because I was angry!” he says twisting his lips like a girl.

Ragini chuckles.

“Even now you are?” she asks.

“Why does it make difference?” he asks getting down as she stops the bike.

“It makes difference. You said you are proud of my decision but still angry at me. Then tell me how do I take it?” she asks walking along with him.

He shakes his head as no.

“I was never angry. It was just I was upset on myself that I am not able to be with you when you need me. I know Nanu and Nani will be there but I am not being with you physically. I felt I am not a good brother. Later ma has explained me. Then I understood you.” He explains her.

She side hugs him.

“You are the best brother. You know I love to irritate you!” she says spoiling his hair and runs away.

He chases her and they enjoy some sibling time there.
