Amaya looked at the coffee in front of her and then at the container of sugar." He did Soo much for me how about thanking him with something sweet." Amaya said and emptied the whole container in the coffee.

She mixed it well and smriked." Tsk tsk Veer Singh you are Soo going to regret messing with Amaya patel." She said, but she was not aware of the camera which was above her.

" You know Amaya I really like the coffee,and you Soo SWEETLY brought it for me that's why I also made coffee for you after all you must be tired to from morning nah." Veer said equally sweetly giving her a coffee.

Amaya looked at him suspiciously then sipped one and immediately she covered her mouth with her hand.

"The washroom is that." Veer pointed towards a door and Amaya immediately bolted inside as she tasted her own medicine.

"Indeed she will be surprised I also for once thought that I m hallucinating you." Vivian said in a thoughtful voice and immediately received a smack on his head from Vidushi.

"Guys mom and Choti maa reached.............." Vihaan was saying but trailed off when his eyes fall on Aradhaya.

Aradhaya who was fixing the plates of saree felt a heated gaze on her she looked up to see Vihaan looking at her, their eyes meet and immediately they looked away.

"Let's turn of the light." Vivian said.

Mala entered inside and confused looked at mansion which was filled with darkness. Then her eyes fall on a big screen and slowly her childhood pictures started appearing there followed by other old pictures of her till today there was some old videos.

Tears filled her eyes as a happy smile formed on her lips just then all the lights were turned on.

"Happpyyyyyy birthday maa." All of them shouted,

Mala smiled towards them and gestured them to come close , Vidushi, Vivian and Vihaan and Amaya run towards her and engulfed them in a hug.

" Thank you bacha this is the best birthday." Mala said kissing their foreheads one by one.

Her eyes fall on Aradhaya who was looking at them with a smile standing away.

"Are Aradhaya dear why are you standing there, come to me." Mala said lovingly.

Aradhaya come close to her with a smile." Happy birthday Aunty." She said and mala smiled placing a kiss on her forehead.

Aradhaya felt emotional but controlled herself with a smile.

The family members first wished her and then they heard a voice.

"Won't I get your warn hug and kiss Maa."

They turned around to see Veer standing there with banquet of three flowers and a smile on his face, everyone was shocked seeing him specially two persons.

He entered inside and took the elders blessings." Veer." Mala and Swastika whispered emotionally whispered .

He smiled at her." Yes my swasti maa and mala maa's Veer, and now what is this did I come here to see tears on you guys eyes." He said hugging both the ladies.

"Okay now see I forget to wish you , happy birthday maa this for a small gift from your son to you." He said handing her book and jewelry box.

"And this is for my other two sweethearts." He said giving the other two banquet to Swastika and Vidushi.

"Veer leave all this first tell us where were you all these times," Vijay asked.

"Was preparing for giving equal competition to your son bade papa." Veer said glancing at Vihaan who to was looking at him.

"Vihaan told me that you guys had misunderstanding is it solved now Veer." Swastika asked hopefully.

Veer smiled." Why Swasti maa doesn't I have another relationship with this family other than Vihaan friend." He asked.

"Off course you have, you are the third of this family for us ." Mala said.

"Then why this question and maa today is your day we can talk about all these some other time now that I m here you guy can start question session anytime but now it's party time." He said cheerfully dragging Mala towards the cake.

Vihaan was looking at him his heart was filled with happiness and fear both , happiness of seeing his childhood friend after all these years and fear of the upcoming danger he brought for him.

Amaya was to shocked would a lie she was more than shocked, she always thought that Singh was rival with Rajput Singhaniya and Malhotra's.

As Vivian was clicking pictures of mala Vihaan stood beside Veer, " why Veer,after this long ." Vihaan asked him.

"Well you see Vihaan unlike you I truly loved your family like my own and still do , but yes now that I m back tell your two Bastards friends to start counting their day because it's going to end soon and you also start counting your happy days." Veer said and walked away to click picture with them.

Mala cut the cake and after that guest started to wish her one by one.

"Badi maa meet my friend Avneet." Vivian said dragging a girl with him.

Mala smile at the girl and the girl touched her feet." Happy birthday Aunty." Avneet said with a sweet smile.

"Thank you beta and I m very surprised that my trouble maker son got a sweet friend like you." Mala said teasingly causing Avneet to laugh and Vivian to pout.

"Come Avneet I introduce you to other members." He said pulling her with him.

The party was going In full swing when Vidushi picked up the Mike and grabbed everyone attention.

"Guys I can see many couples here who are standing or talking boringly ,Soo to cheer them up let's start couples dance." Vidushi said and throwed a wink towards Vivian who blushed .

All the couples went to the dance floor the lit was dimmed giving a romantic vibe , Vidushi forced mala ,Vijay and Swastika and Ajay in dance floor to.

"Vihaan let's go to Dance floor." Amaya said.

Vihaan was about to deny when his eyes fall on Aradhaya who was looking at him, you wanted this right Aradhaya then be it Vihaan thought and nodded at Amaya leading her to the dance floor.

Aradhaya felt the pain again in her heart looking at him with Amaya , the memories of their dance in Akira's birthday was flashing in front of her, she closed her eyes to stop the tears.

"Loving someone who doesn't deserve it will only lead to pain." Aradhaya opened her eyes and looked at Veer shocking who was standing beside her.

"Don't look me like that I know everything and your little secret is safe with me." He said looking straight at the dance floor.

"How...." Aradhaya start but Veer cut her off,

"A intelligent person once said you should always keep a eye on your enemy's each other everything in life." Veer said.

"Enemy but everyone here love you Soo much." Aradhaya asked,

"And who said that I don't love them back , each and every member of this family are my own except Vihaan Rajput." He said.

" but you were his friend Right Mala aunty said then why this much hatred." Aradhaya asked him.

"I was not anymore and let me give you a free advise control feelings before they get crushed by him." Veer said.

Aradhaya smiled and looked at Vihaan who to was looking at her, his body was moving with Amaya but eyes were only struck on her.

"If feelings can be controlled then there would have been no difference between humans and robot , there wouldn't be anything called heartbreak or happiness." Aradhaya told him.

"What you see in him he is just a person who can play with people trust ." Veer said angirly.

" Love is unconditional Mr.Singh." Aradhaya said

" But will he returns your this unconditional love, because a murderer can only kill not love." Veer said with rage in his eyes and fist clenched tight.

Aradhaya looked at him shocked." What rubbish are you saying." She's asked him angirly.

Veer calmed himself and smriked towards her." Why don't you ask him directly, " he said and Aradhaya shook her head refusing believe such a big word.
