EPISODE 19
MORNING,
OBEROI MANSION,
Aniruddh was walking down the stairs when Priyanka called him,
Priyanka: Bhaiya, where are you going?
Aniruddh: Prinku, I am going to the airport… I have to receive everyone…
Priyanka: Bhaiya, I’ll miss you… I don’t know when we’ll get to meet each other…
Aniruddh: Prinku, even I’ll miss you all…. In the past year, I have also grown used to this family…. I’ll also miss you all…. But whenever you want to meet me, you can tell me…. I’ll always come for my sister….
Priyanka hugs Aniruddh,
Priyanka: Bhaiya, please take care of yourself….
Aniruddh: You too Prinku….
He kisses her forehead; they were talking when Shivaay comes there,
Shivaay: So you are going…. We’ll miss you….
Aniruddh: Are you both going to make me cry now? You are talking as if I am going forever…. I’ll not be staying here but I’ll always be with you all…
Shivaay: And we’ll always be with you….
Shivaay hugs Aniruddh.
Rudra: So you are having Obro moment and that too without me?
They turn and see Rudra,
Shivaay: How can we have any Obro moment without you? Chal aa jaa….
Rudra also joins them. After some time they break the hug.
Rudra: O, why are you going, after some days you will get married and then we won’t be able to spend time with each other (He makes a sad face)
Shivaay: Rudra yaar, nothing like that will happen
Aniruddh: Haa Rudra, we are and will always be with each other…. And anyways I am going because it is very important otherwise I would have not gone….
Shivaay: Om, you’ll get late…. You should leave….
Aniruddh: Bye guys….
He leaves from there.
OUTISDE MITTAL HOUSE,
Ishana was standing outside waiting for Aniruddh, she saw his car coming and she was happy seeing him, he stopped the car and she sat inside,
Ishana: Let us go….
Aniruddh: Why were you waiting outside, you could have waited inside…. I would have called you….
Ishana: Wo…. I just came when you also came….
Aniruddh: I told you naa, you are bad at lying….
Ishana looks at him surprised while he chuckles,
Ishana: Actually, I couldn’t sit inside, then someone or the other would ask me something or the other…. And I couldn’t tell them everything…. So I decided to wait outside….
Aniruddh: I know because of me you are hiding things from your family…. I am sorry….
Ishana: Why are you saying sorry? I know I am hiding things from my family but it is not because of you…. So don’t think like that….
Aniruddh smiles at her and starts the car.
They reach the airport some time later. Aniruddh parks the car and they walk towards the arrival counter.
Aniruddh: I am so excited to meet them…. I haven’t met them for a long time….
Ishana: I can understand, staying away from the family is difficult…. And in the situation you were, I must say you are strong….
Aniruddh: Nothing like that…. I get this strength from my family only….
They were talking when a girl comes and puts her hand on Aniruddh’s eyes, Ishana is surprised while Aniruddh smiles,
Aniruddh: When will you grow up yaar…? I know it is you….
Girl: What yaar Aniruddh…. How do you know it is me…?
She removes her hand and he turns to look at her, she makes a sad face,
Aniruddh: Don’t make that face and come here….
He opens his arms, the girl smiles and hugs him, he lifts her in the air and twirls her, and Ishana is looking at them surprised,
Girl (Whispers to Aniruddh): Don’t you think this is too much…. (She looks at Ishana) Look at her yaar…. She is feeling bad…. Put me down….
Aniruddh: I am doing all this for her only…. (He puts her down) by the way, where is everyone else?
Girl: Everyone is coming…. By the way, who is she?
Aniruddh: I forgot to introduce her…. She is Ishana (Ishana smiles at her) and Ishana; she is Sonakshi, one of the most important people in my life….
Ishana: It was nice meeting you….
Arjun: Sona ko mil kya liya…. He has forgotten us….
Aniruddh: Bhai (He hugs Arjun)….
Ahana, Shekhar and Sumitra also come, Aniruddh takes blessings from Shekhar and Sumitra, and he hugs Ahana,
Ahana: How much we missed you Aniruddh?
Aniruddh: I missed you all a lot.
Sumitra: Mera bacha…. What was the need to stay here alone? (She has tears in her eyes)
Aniruddh: Maa (He wipes her tears)…. Now you are here, I will not go anywhere now….
Ahana looks at Ishana, who was smiling seeing the family,
Ahana: Who are you?
Aniruddh: Bhabhi, she is Ishana, my friend….
Ishana smiles at them, she takes blessings from Shekhar and Sumitra, she greets Arjun and Ahana hugs her,
Sumitra (Whispers to Ahana): Dekh lena…. Aniruddh has brought her here means she is definitely more than a friend….
Ahana: I also think the same Maa…. The way she is looking at him and he looked at her…. Lagta hai mere devar ne devrani dhundh li hai….
Shekhar: What are you both talking?
Ahana: Nothing Papa…. I was telling Maa, how good it feels to be back in our own country….
Arjun: Wo to hai…. This is our real home….
Aniruddh: Let us go home….
They walk towards the car. Aniruddh had already called the other drivers with the other cars. Arjun-Ahana, Shekhar-Sumitra and Aniruddh-Ishana-Sonakshi sit in the cars.
RAICHAND MANSION,
They all reach the mansion. The Raichand family has tears in their eyes looking at their old home.
Sumitra: We are returning after so many years…. Yet all the memories of this place are fresh in my mind….
Shekhar: I know even I remember everything….
