One year later:
Night time:
Suhani came to room and saw Yuvi staring at her pic, he was worried or irritated with something.
She went to him.
Suh: What are you doing with this pic?
Yuvi was shocked by the sudden interference.
Yuvi: N, nothing.
Suh: Hm, what present are going to give Gauri?
Yuvi: I don’t know, I mean I want to give her something special, it is a new beginning of her life, she is going for her first ever job, I want to gift her something which inspires her, but also reminds her of her brother, and I am not getting any ideas, I am irritated, and hence I was looking at your pic, and as always, it calmed me.
She became emotional, he made her feel so special, she was aware of everything he just said, but wanted to hear it from him, and hence she made him say, but when she heard all these, she felt like it was better unsaid, because now she is too much emotional that she was not able to handle them.
She hugged him tightly, all her emotions were there in it, and they reached him, he was filled. He smiled broadly and hugs her back.
Suh: (cupping hid face) Now that you calmed down, you will get the best idea.
They smile, but something was different in her smile, he didn’t understand what it was, she looked dreamy and was very emotional.
Suh: You carry on, I, I will just come.
She went out and he followed her. She went to Shavna’s room, only Sharad was there. She got in and he stayed at the door.
Suh: Where is di and Golu?
Sh: Golu was not feeling good inside, so Bhavna took her out.
Suh: Good, I wanted to talk to you.
She looked at him emotionally.
Sh: What? Why are you looking me like this?
Suh: (smiling dreamily) Today Yuvi was very upset!
Sh: And you are happy about it?
She nodes. Both Yuvi and Sharad looked confused.
Sh: What?
Suh: Yeah, he reminded me of another brother, few years back, he too was,
Sh: (smiling) Worried, thinking what will he gift his sister, for she was,
Suh: to start her job.
They smile.
Bhavna came back with sleeping Golu, Yuvi stopped her outside.
Suh: It was the best gift I got from you.
Sh: All thanks to your sis, I thought of taking her help, and she refused me, she told me to get something by myself, and it took time,
Suh: And hence the gift had all your effort visible in it, and became special.
Sh: Yeah, it was such a lovely mug, with our pics on it.
Suh: I loved it so much.
Sh: Who knows it better than me, I remember how hard you cried the other day, when it broke.
She nodes sadly.
Sh: And you didn’t let me replace it.
Suh: The reason is there in your statement. It will be a replacement, never the same. It was something very special, I know that you are always with me, but that mug was a visual reminder of this.
Yuvi and Bhavna smile hearing them, something stuck Yuvi and he leaves smiling.
Suh: Today seeing Yuvi, I thought of all those and,
He nodes smilingly. They sat idle for a while, just enjoying each other’s company and then she left. Bhavna came in after sometime.
Yuvi hugs Suhani as she got into the room.
Yuvi: (happily) knowingly or unknowingly, you always come with solution to all my problems, thank you so much.
She smiles.
Suh: I don’t know about solutions, but I will always be there with you.
Yuvi: I know.
He kisses her forehead. They smile.
Two days later:
Gauri was to join a new firm that day, her first ever job!
Pratima and Dadi wished her, and other gift her. She looked surprised t the gifts.
Prat: These gifts are their greetings for you.
Other than Yuvani, others gifted her as pairs.
Gauri: Viyu, bhabhi, why did you gift me separately?
Yuvi: Open our gifts, you will get to know.
She opened them, Suhani’s was a photo frame, it was handmade, and it had their family pic.
Gauri happily hugs her.
Yuvi’s was a miniature carom board, again handmade, but it had pics of every family member on the circles in the board. Carom was between them, brother and sister, but with the pics, it got family into it.
Gauri understood what Yuvani meant, their gifts where the symbol of the relation they two shared with her.
She had tears in her eyes and hugged her brother.
Precap:
Marriage is on.
