Lakshmi was making sweets.

Arjun was lost in her.

Arjun:You are very sweet like these sweets Lakshmi.

Lakshmi:Stop flirting with me Arjun.We are old.

Arjun:Who is old?You maybe old.I am not old.

Lakshmi frowned at him:You called me old?

Arjun:Yes.But I did’nt complete my sentence.You look very young and beautiful in this age also.

Lakshmi blushed.

Lakshmi:When I make Diwali sweets I remember Sona.She used to love Diwali sweets.If she was here,I would have fed her all these sweets.

Lakshmi blushed.

 

 

 

Diwali puja at Rohit’s house….

Sonakshi’s parents Yash and Latika came.

Sonakshi,Raavi,Rohit and Pulkit went near them for their blessings.

Suddenly their eyes fell on Pooja who was helping Veena in arrangements.

Yash:Who is she?

Rohit:She is Sonakshi’s friend’s daughter from Mumbai.

Yash and Latika got confused.

Rohit went away.

Yash:Friend?

Sona:Papa…she is Lakshmi di’s daughter.

Yash and Latika were shocked:What?

Sonakshi explained to them everything.

Pooja came there.

Latika caressed her tearfully.Pooja just looked at her without understanding anything.

Latika:You remind me of my Lakshmi.

Pooja was stunned.

Yash:We are your Nana Nani.

Pooja became emotional.Pooja struggled hard to control her tears.

She touched their feet.

Yash:God bless you beta.But we don’t know whether we deserve to bless you as we did injustice to your mother.But we regret every single second.In her absence we realized our mistake.

Latika:How is Lakshmi?We are missing her.

Pooja:My mother forgave you long ago because she loved both of you very much.She also longs to see you both.

Yash-Latika became emotional.

Yash:How is Arjun?

Pooja:Dad is also fine.

Yash:Please request him to forgive me.

Pooja nodded emotionally.

Pooja:Dad and mom will be very happy if they come to know that you both have accepted them.

Yash-Latika smiled emotionally.

Pooja:But please be patient.Let me make things alright.Till then please hide the fact that I am your grand daughter.Please pretend that I am Sona Maasi’s friend’s daughter.

Latika:Ok.But will these people change?

Pooja:I don’t know.But I care only about Rohit maasad.If he changes his mindset,he himself will allow mom and Maasi to unite.And I will make sure that he will change.

Raavi:Papa has changed a lot.He has softened a lot.

Yash-Latika were surprised:Really?

Sonakshi,Raavi,Pulkit:Yes.

They were very happy.

Everyone attended the Diwali puja happily.

Raavi was lighting lamps with Sonakshi.

Raavi:Maa,what if someone confesses that he had lied to us once and ask for apology?

Sonakshi:That means that person is genuine and he repents.Otherwise he would not have confessed his mistakes and apologized.He deserves second chance.

Raavi remembered Shiva telling her emotionally that he is not a cheater.

Raavi thought:Guess Shiva was right.I misunderstood him.

Sona:Why did you ask so Raavi?Did your friend apologize?

Raavi:Yes Maa.

Raavi hugged Sonakshi and said:Thank you very much Maa for guiding me and showing me the right path.

Sonakshi smiled:As a mother I will always give you right advises.

Raavi smiled.

After the Diwali celebration Pulkit left home.

 

Pooja called Arjun-Lakshmi secretly.

Pooja:Happy Diwali mom dad.

Arjun-Lakshmi:Happy Diwali Pooja.

Pooja:I have a big surprise for you both.It will be the best Diwali gift for you both.

Arjun-Lakshmi were excited.

Lakshmi asked her with excitement:What’s that beta?

Arjun:Hope it’s not a bomb.

Pooja:Dad…stop teasing me.

Arjun laughed.

Pooja told them about meeting Yash-Latika and how they regret what they did to them and that they long to see them.

Arjun-Lakshmi became very happy.

Lakshmi became very emotional.

Lakshmi:I miss them.I want to see them.I want to get loved by them.

Arjun caressed her and said:Lakshmi,wait for some more time.Then you can meet them.Right?

Pooja:Exactly.So don’t waste your time by crying mom.

Arjun wiped Lakshmi’s tears.

 

 

 

The next day in college as soon as Shiva saw Raavi,he ran towards her.

Shiva:Raavi,I apologize to you again.Please talk to me.If you are angry,shout at me.But please don’t stop talking to me.I can’t bear it.

Raavi felt sad seeing his restlessness.

Raavi:Shiva….

Shiva looked at her silently.

Raavi:I forgave you.

Shiva became very happy.

Shiva:Thank you so much Raavi.I can’t tell you how happy I am.You really made me happy.

Raavi:I am also sorry for misunderstanding you.I should have understood that you apologized to me only because you had a pure heart.

Shiva smiled emotionally.

Shiva:It’s not your fault Raavi.Anyone in your place would have misunderstood me.

Raavi was silent.

Shiva:Raavi…can we be friends?

Raavi became nervous for a moment.She wanted to be his friend,at the same time because of her family pressure,she was scared to even talk to him.

Shiva:You are scared to be my friend because your father told you not to mingle with boys.Right?

Raavi was stunned as Shiva understood why she was running away from him.

Shiva:I am not forcing you.But I will not do anything which makes your father feel that you ruined their trust in you.

Raavi wanted to change the topic as it was a difficult situation for her.

Raavi:Shiva,I need to go to class.

She walked away.Shiva became dull.

 

 

Raavi told Pooja about Shiva wanting to be her friend.

Pooja:I think you should accept his friendship Raavi.

Raavi:But Papa…

Pooja:Raavi…true friendship happens very rarely.My friendship with Aarav is one among them.Shiva is a true friend.You should not lose true friendship because of fear.

Raavi nodded with a smile.Pooja smiled.

Raavi:Can I ask you something Pooja?Do you love Aarav?

Pooja remembered Aarav risking his life to save her.

Pooja blushed.

Raavi noticed it.

Raavi:Will you love Aarav if he loves you?

Pooja:Of course yes.How can I reject the love of a nice boy like Aarav?

Raavi:Do you have the guts to love Aarav when you think about your family?

Pooja:Yes,I have the guts to fall in love.Pyar kiya to darna kya?Why should we afraid if we love someone?My family will support me for sure.My parents also had love marriage and they believe in love.So I am not worried about their reaction.

Raavi smiled.

Raavi thought:Pooja is so lucky to have such supportive parents.

 

 

 

Pooja and Aarav walked around dreaming of each other.

Finally they bumped into each other.

They were very happy to see each other as they were feeling romantic with each other.

Aarav:Pooja!

Pooja:Aarav!

Aarav:Pooja,I want to tell you something.

Pooja blushed:Say Aarav.

Aarav:I think you are not just a friend for me.Your position in my heart is beyond that. Can you be more than a friend to me?

Pooja blushed.

Pooja:First you tell me what is more than friendship.

Aarav looked at her deeply and said:More than friendship means…love.More than a friend means the lover with whom we share our life with.Will you be my life partner?

Pooja kept her hand on his shoulder and chest romantically.She looked at his eyes and said:I will be more than a friend to you who will share your life with.Because I love you Aarav.

Aarav said in an intense tone:I love you Pooja.

They shared a romantic eye lock.

Slowly he embraced her from behind.

They held their hands together and danced romantically.

Pooja rang up Arjun and Lakshmi.

Pooja:Mom…dad…you will be surprised to hear something.

Arjun:What’s the next surprise Pooja?Tell us soon.We are eager to hear it.

Pooja:I am in love with my best friend Aarav.

Lakshmi:Not surprised.Knowing about your friendship with Aarav,we both had expected it.

Pooja was surprised:Really?

Arjun:Ya.Finally our Princess got her Prince Charming.

Pooja became shy.

 

 

Pooja said this to Raavi and Sonakshi.

Raavi:I am happy for you Pooja.You are lucky.Very few people are lucky to get true love.

Sonakshi kissed Pooja.

Sona:I am happy that you got your true love like your mother got.God bless you beta.

Pooja smiled.

 

 

 

Raavi went near Shiva.Shiva was surprised as it was the first time that Raavi came towards him.Usually it’s Shiva who always goes near her.

Shiva felt very happy.

Shiva:Raavi!

Raavi:Shiva..you said that you want to be my friend.Now also do you want to be my friend?

Shiva:Of course yes Raavi.Because your friendship is the more precious for me.

Raavi smiled happily.

Raavi:I also want to be your friend.Will you be my friend?

Shiva was surprised.

Shiva:I had become your friend long ago.It’s just that you were pending to be my friend.

Raavi:It’s not pending anymore as I have accepted your friendship.

Shiva became so happy that he jumped with joy.Raavi laughed seeing his childishness.
