EPISODE 53
HARIDWAR,
The previous day, all of them were busy in doing the arrangements for the puja so none of them had any time to talk about the other issues of their lives. The elders were happy seeing their children together and the youngsters were happy and enjoying their time with each other, laughing and teasing each other.
PUJA DAY,
Aniruddh, Omkara and Sakshi sat for doing the rituals while the rest of the family members were sitting behind them. The puja was going on and everyone was praying that Ranjit and Damini’s soul rests in peace, and that their children stay happy and safe.
After the puja, everyone was tired and decided to take rest. They all returned to their respective hotels.

Anika: Nothing can happen of you…. You’ll never change….
Shivaay: Anika, kya hua…. Why are you angry…? I do not understand anything….
Anika: So many years have passed since our marriage but you…. You haven’t changed at all…. You don’t have time for me at all…. All the time it is you, your work and your phone…. (She said and turned the other side)….
Shivaay immediately got up from his place, he walked to her, he made her face him, and he lifted her face and made her look at him,
Shivaay: Anika…. You know naa how busy I am…. I have many works to manage…. (Anika looked at him in disbelief)…. But never think that I have no time for you…. When it comes to my Anika…. I have all the time in the world…. (Shivaay smiled and Anika also smiled at him)….
Anika: Shivaay…. Sometimes I still wonder that how could I be so lucky to have you in my life….
Shivaay: No Anika…. I am luckier than you…. That I have you in my life….
Shivaay and Anika smile at each other and Anika hugs him resting her head on his chest and he covers her with his arms,

Priyanka hugs Ranveer,
Priyanka: Ranveer, I just want one thing that our family always stays together like this only…. I love our family a lot…. I just hope that now no one gives anymore sadness to the family….
Ranveer (thinking): How do I tell you Priyanka…? That I am also going to give sadness to our family…. I don’t know how you all will react when you will know the truth I have hidden from everyone…. Even my best friends Shivaay and Om don’t know about this…. How will they react when they’ll know that their friend lied to them for years…?
Priyanka breaks the hug and looks at Ranveer, who was lost in his thoughts, she clicked her fingers and broke his chain of thoughts,
Priyanka: Where are you lost Mr. ACP?

Aniruddh: Because of Om and me…. You all also had to suffer so much naa…. You all didn’t want to leave Mumbai at all but you all left it because of us….
Ishana: It is true that we didn’t want to leave Mumbai…. But it is also true that we could never leave you two alone….
Ishana kept her hand on Aniruddh’s hand and he looked at her, she smiled and he smiled back,
Aniruddh: Ishana, thank you so much for always being with me…. If you weren’t there I don’t know what I would have done….
Ishana: How could I leave you alone…? I know I was upset with your decision but I always cared for you…. I could never ever think of leaving you alone…. And with the passage of time I have understood that you too missed everybody just like me…. I knew even you wished to go back to Mumbai and stay with everyone…. I could see your pain in your eyes….

Ahana: But last time also we had to convince one family member only…. But we couldn’t do it also….
Arjun: Last time was a different case…. Om had just learnt the truth and he took a decision spontaneously…. But now it has been three years…. He must have also reflected back on his decisions…. He just needs time…. And I am sure once he stays with us all he wouldn’t be able to leave us all….

Yash: You are right Vidhi…. Ishu has changed a lot…. She has grown up from Dad’s princess to a responsible wife…. I still remember how she used to come to us for even small things and now see how she solved all her problems….
Vidhi: I am happy that Ishu is happy in her life…. And I wish that God always keeps her happy like this…. I just hope we convince Om to stay back….

Gauri was looking out from the window when Om saw her staring outside the window; he also stood beside her and spoke,
Omkara: Gauri, what are you thinking? You seem to be lost in your own thoughts….
Gauri: Nothing Om…. I was thinking about the past few days…. We met everybody after years but it feels like we all were together only…. Nothing has changed between all of us….
Omkara: That is what family is Gauri…. No matter how far you live or how long you are away…. At the end of the day…. They are all that you have and nothing changes in a family….
Gauri: Om, sometimes I wonder how could a person like you, who values family so much, think of leaving the people he loved so much, whom he cared for…. (Before Gauri could continue, Om interrupted her)….
Omkara: Gauri, please I don’t want to talk about it….
Gauri: Not talking is not going to help Om…. I thought after seeing them after three years, you would change your decision but I guess I was wrong….
Gauri turned to go but Om held her hand, she looked at him,
Omkara: Gauri, do you trust me?
Gauri: Of course Om, I trust you….

Dev: You love the family a lot naa….
Sonakshi: I cannot tell you Dev…. Words aren’t enough to explain how much they all mean to me…. They supported me, took care of me and gave me love and affection when I thought I had lost everything…. (Tears collect in her eyes as she remembers her parent’s accident)….
Dev got up from the bed, and sat in front of her, he wiped her tears, and looked at her,
