Two years flew by, well quickly for Agastya but not that fast for Janhavi on personal front. Agastya kept in touch and kept her mind occupied with "why this?" and "what does he imply?" thoughts. Janhavi since the beginning of her corporate journey had been very focused and dedicated in her work. She escalated the corporate ladder with her hard work and being a management graduate from the top-notch institute of India helped her too making a mark in the organization along with her work ethics. Janhavi had joined as operations manager with Murphy Motors at their Delhi office and soon in 2 years, she was promoted to General Manager's position and transferred to Murphy Motor's Mumbai headquarters. Few recognized her diligence and few were jealous of her. She was never the gossiping kind yet polite and very professional at her work place. She had a fairly big decorated swanky cabin and every morning reading her name with her new position made her proud of her achievements. She was always found smiling yet held that "no non-sense aura". Only handful of her people kept her company and her and Arjun's bond was still strong. Arjun too was doing pretty good in his career.

Aarna was very happy as her favorite Jaanu didi was in Mumbai now, even Siya for that matter. Although Siya and Aarna were quite younger to Janhavi, yet they found a friend and a guide in her as she never judged them. She had been a go to person for them girls while they were kids. Jaanu had met Aarna after a gap of more than 7 years, the last she had seen her in person was at the farm house before Agastya left for Boston. Aarna was 9 years old that time and today, the same cute little bubbly girl was a gorgeous teenager, who was a spitting image of her mother. Janhavi had been to meet aai aunty and was received with the same love she used to earlier. There was no change except she found few frown lines and dadu dadi being little older than few years ago, however their love and warmth for Janhavi was the same. Naina opened the door to receive Janhavi with a broad smile

"Hiiiii betaaa... Aaja...aaja... Gosh! jaanu you have grown quite taller lekin abhi bhi wohi smile hai jo bachpan me thi. I am so glad to see a once upon a time little girl transformed into a beautiful woman. Come sweetheart!"

Naina had hugged Janhavi and couldn't stop from grinning. She had few tears in her eyes as she hugged Janhavi kissing her forehead. Dadu dadi were sitting in the living room and Aarna was in her room. Soon hearing Jaanu didi's name, she sprinted towards the living room and almost jumped on Janhavi who was saved in time as Naina held her from falling down

"Aarna... dheere beta! Gir jayegi didi" dadi chuckled at her excitement. Aarna had clung to Janhavi as she complaint
"Jaanu di! You too are like bhaiya. He doesn't have time to come to meet me and you too have come home after so many years... eeeekkkssss! but I am so happy" Janhavi and Naina exchanged awkward looks but Naina wisely saved Janhavi from embarrassment as she asked Aarna to let her take a seat atleast

"Aarna... didi ko baithne to de... aaja Janhavi! milk shake?" Naina asked her cautiously and Aarna jumped in between again "Mummaaa... yessss... choco milkshake! Mera, bhaiya ka aur jaanu di ka childhood fav"

Naina thought to secretly probe a little "Haan pata hai, lekin ab teri jaanu di is not a kid. She is grown up. What if she doesn't like tera aur Agastya bhaiya wala choco milkshake?"

Aarna just rolled her eyes "Ohhh gosh! Bade hone se how is the change of choices linked mumma? Jo pasand hai wo bade hone se change thode hi ho jata hai. Hai na Jaanu di?" Aarna was talking about choices and liking in general but Naina smiled and frowned her eyebrows at Janhavi that made her little shy.

"Nahi aai aunty! My choices are still the same. Choco milk shake is still my most fav" she smiled and answered. There was a hidden meaning to it that Naina probably read as she smiled "I am glad to know that beta! Baith main aati hoon"

Janhavi till then chatted with dadu dadi and Aarna suddenly asked to go for a drive in her swanky Murphy red car. Naina had made choco shake for everyone and they all enjoyed when Janhavi further spoke
"Aai aunty! I was promoted to General manager's position few weeks back... umm can I take Aarna for a treat and take her to drive in my new car? If only you permit"

Naina was glad as were dadu and dadi. Dadi blessed her kissing on her forehead.

"Tu itni choti si thi Janhavi, jab Agastya ke sath play dates ke liye aaya karti thi. Apni dolly ke sath. You guys would play house house and car racing and draw and paint. Pata hi nahi chala ye frock pehen ke khilkhilane wali Agastya ki bestest friend Jaanu kab itni badi ho gayi ki GM ban kar khud ki car le li, wo bhi imported wali. Kitni khushi milti hai pata hai ki tum bachho ko itna bada hote dekhne hum abhi bhi zinda hain. Bless you beta! Bahot aage badho, bahot tarakki karo... Kitna time ho gya Agastya ko bhi dekhe hue"

Janhavi hugged dadi "Come on dadi... aisa sab mat kaho! Mujhe nhi achha lagta aisa sunana. Aap to abhi bhi young ho"

"Young and sexy... hehehe" Aarna jumped in between when Janhavi wiped her tears "Aapko to abhi bahot jeena hai dadi" Janhavi said with a smile and Aarna again couldn't stop butting in between

"Haan aur kya? Abhi to apko Jaanu di aur Agastya bhaiya ke kids dekhne hain, meri college ki grad party me aana hai, mera boy friend choose karna hai aur kitty wali aunties ki bitching bhi to karni hai.. Ohhhh dadi I love you... plz don't say that again"

What Aarna meant was Janhavi and Agastya's kids with their individual partners but how aptly God made her say that had put a smile on Naina's face and Janhavi was shy listening to it looking at Naina briefly. Dadi too caught Naina and Janhavi's expressions as she sighed

"Ahhhh... bus jaldi jaldi dikha de mata rani tere Agastya bhaiya aur jaanu di ke kids aur tera boy friend hum koi handsome english dhundenge. Aarna you know meri kitty wali Behl hai naa jude wali colored red hair, you know uski grand daughter ke marks kam aaye 10th grade me lekin uske sabko jhooth bataya. Pata hai pakdi gyi, Mrs Mehta ka grandson uska classmate hai unhone tai-tai fish kar diya Behl ka"

Dadi and Aarna high fived chuckling at the gossip, jaanu smiled and Aarna was giggling "Ohhh dadi such a fun you have in kitty. Jaanu di chalo naa...mumma main jau please. Promise i will finish my school work in the night... please na mumma"

Naina patted her forehead at Aarna "Ok go but no excuses later for studies! Jaanu beta khayal rakhna aur sun aati raha kar bachhe! Achha lagta hai tujhe dekh ke...uncle missed meeting you. Come home soon sweetheart"

Janhavi promised to take care of Aarna and drop her back in time "Thank you aai aunty! Sure jaldi aaungi... uncle ko hello kahiye mera. I will come to meet him too... See yaa. Bye"

Janhavi took Aarna around the town and they finally halted at Juhu beach. The sun was setting and the beach was bustling. It had been years that Janhavi had visited the beach. All her memories of visiting the beach with her Gusty came alive bringing her to tears that she silently wiped while Aarna was busy clicking pics and posting live updates on her social media. Agastya saw the notification and viewed the stories and one particular caught his eyes and pierced his heart. Unknowingly Aarna had shared a video of the surrounding and the beach that showed Janhavi wiping her tears without Aarna noticing it

"Baby! Please don't cry. I can't see you in tears. Will you be able to forgive me sweetheart? I am so sorry baby" Agastya caressed the mobile screen as his eyes too were wet finding his jaanu in tears.

"Well jaanu. I didn't know, you look all the more beautiful in the dusky orange hues of the sunset glow. I miss you baby. Ahhh I so wanna hug you tightest right now"

While Agastya was looking at the stories shared by Aarna and talking all by himself, the next live story got played that was shared by Aarna few seconds ago. And what Agastya saw made him hysterical and in double minds.
