Episode 14 “Going somewhere, Princess?” She could barely recognize the voice because of all the loud music…but the “Princess” made her spin around. As she turned around to face him, he was taken aback by her beauty. All the girls here were elegantly dressed, but somehow…tonight…none of them could compare to her. She was beautifully dressed in a cream fairytale-like gown. Silver earrings adorned her ears and a simple but beautiful necklace hung around her neck. A hand band on her wrist and a beautiful tiara completed her stunning look. Her shoes were hidden beneath her long gown… but he’d…

Episode 13 Four days later, Abhi received a call from “Purple Star Records”…the same company he’d had his last interview with. They had reconsidered their decision and had decided to give him another chance. As the company schedules were a bit hectic and they were pressed for time, they decided that the meeting will be conducted after business hours outside of the office. “There will be a dinner meeting tomorrow evening,” the secretary stated. “Seven-thirty at “Zen” restaurant.” Abhi thanked her and hung up. Wow! He couldn’t wait to share the news with Fuggi and Purab. Fuggi was out with…

Episode 12 “I can’t believe my bad luck.” Abhi complained to Pragya and Purab three years later. “It’s been so long and I’m still almost back at the place where I started off. I don’t know…maybe I should just give up!” Good thing he had his education to fall back on, Abhi thought. When he’d explained to Dadi and Tayaji that he didn’t want to go to college, they were outraged and had given him a long lecture. They had no problem with his dream, but they’d stressed on the importance of a good education. He could see their point…

Episode 11 While Abhi and Tanu were talking at the party, Pragya was at home on the terrace. Her heart pounded in her chest as she remembered Abhi’s kiss. The way he held her…the connection she felt. She wondered if he felt it too… Her first kiss…and it was with her best friend. Maybe it was a good thing Abhi didn’t know it was her, else things would have been really uncomfortable between them. Their friendship might have changed and they would have become really awkward around each other. When Abhi arrived home an hour later, Pragya was still on…

Episode 10 What the–? Pragya thought in shock, as another pair of lips touched hers. Some idiot had ambushed her, just as she stepped inside! She was about to pull away from him….with the full intention of giving him five fingers across his face. But as she opened her eyes and her gaze inched upwards, she realized… OMG…It’s Abhi! Abhi had kissed her! Correction…Abhi was currently kissing her! He had intended for the kiss to be just a peck on the lips…but as his lips touched hers, he felt a strange connection. The party…his friends…all were forgotten. Something was pulling…

Episode 9 Six years later… “Come on Fuggi…Let’s go na, pleeeaseeee.” Abhi pleaded. “No,you go. I have to study.” “How much will you study? Can’t you take one evening off for me? Please Fuggi.” He pleaded again. “No” she replied. He snatched the book she was reading from. “How will you study if you don’t have your book?” he teased and ran from the room. Pragya ran after him. “Give me back my book!” she shouted at him. “No!” Abhi said. Not until you agree to come to the party with me!” “Abhi yaaar…why don’t you understand? I have alot…

Episode 8 One year later, Abhi was on the terrace of their new home. After the demise of his parents, the Mehra family couldn’t afford the upkeep on their old family home…so they sold it and moved into a smaller one. But the family didn’t mind as they were all together…and they were happy. Tayaji had taken over the family’s responsibility and although Abhi’s parents had left them money in their will, Tayaji refused to touch it, saying, that money belonged to Abhi, Aliya and Pragya…and it would be used for their education. Dadi and Taiji had agreed with him.…

Episode 7 Dadi sat in the living room with the others, awaiting the arrival of Abhi’s parents. The kids would be home soon, she thought, and they hadn’t returned yet. Ten minutes later, two policemen…one of them a close family friend… came and informed them of the accident and gave them the tragic news. All were horrified! Dadi was in denial. “I’m sorry, but you must be mistaken. That can’t be my son and bahu you are speaking of. My children are fine.” Dadi said adamantly. “They have gone out to get a cake for their son and they will…

Episode 6 Three years later….the Mehra family were making preparations to surprise Abhi on his thirteenth birthday. Raj Bhaiyya, Purab, Akash and Pragya were delegated to handle the decorations and music… the kitchen duties were assigned to the elders and the youngest Mehra, Aliya, had the most important task….she had to keep Abhi away till they were all ready. They all made a plan for Aliya to take Abhi to the movies…to watch the latest Disney movie that had landed in theaters. There was just one little problem…Abhi didn’t want to go! “Please Bhai!” she begged, in her cutest tone…
