Isolated place:
“Luv, don’t do this. Hamare liye game hai, but she might not like it!” Kush shouts.
“Accha fine, I won’t,” Luv says
“But can we go Home at least!?” Luv added.
“Fine! I’m so excited yaar, to meet Akshu and Aar-” Kush is cut off by Luv riding off. “Ai! Wait!”
At Goenka Villa:
“Akshu, Aaru!” Naira called her daughters.
“Kya Hua Mumma!” Akshu asked.
“Haan Mumma, what happened?” Aaru said.
“Vo-“
“WE’RE HERE!!!!” Two voices shouted from outside.
“Luv Bhaiya! Kush Bhaiya!” Akshara and Aarohi shouted and ran outside.
“How are our witches?” Luv asked, laughing.
“Akshu Di, he’s telling you!”
“Nahi Aaru, he’s talking to you!”
“No you!”
“No you!”
Their no you – no you went on for ages, and Luv Kush went inside and met Kartik, Naira and introduced themselves to Abhi, Neil and Manjari.
5 years later.. Akshu, Aaru, Abhi and Neil are now 17.
“Mumma! Papa!” Akshu was running around the house, looking for her parents when she saw Luv and Kush.
“Akshu, Kya Hua? Naira Masi aur Kartik Chachu.. they’ve gone out!”
Just then, Luv’s phone rang.
“Hello?” He said. “Police??? What, no that-“
“Kya hua Luv Bhaiya?” Aaru asked.
“Chachu aur Masi…”
“Whilst they were coming home.. and Bade Papa, Bade Mumma and Mimi are coming to stay with us..”
Akshu and Aaru fall to the ground whilst their brothers console them. Abhi comes clapping.
“Abhimanyu?!” Kush says.
“Akshara, you were saying that My Ma is most important to you.. hai na?”
“Haan Abhi.. kyu?”
“Then how can you leave my Ma in an accident with a POOL of blood surrounding her?!” Abhi says.
“I didn’t even know Manjari Aunty had an accident Abhi! And what about Ruby?”
“Ruby ka kya?” Abhi asked.
“Hotel ke room me Ruby ke sath KYA kar rahe the tum?!” Akshu was now angry. Neil, Aaru, Luv and Kush tried to stop her and him, but were unsuccessful.
“Ruby ne- Don’t divert! Why did you leave my Ma to die!!”
“I didn’t! And Birla hospital is in fire, you didn’t care to tell me Abhimanyu!!”
“OH REALLY?! Well what about AHAAN?! You were getting close and cozy to him for the past weeks!”
“Akshu! Abhimanyu! Stop arguing like 5 year old’s, you both are seventeen now!!” Mimi said.
“Mimi, she thinks I wa- who am I even telling, aap to Akshara ka side lo ge.” Abhi says.
“ABHIMANYU BIRLA!” Bade Papa aka Manish shouted.
“Arrey Bade Pa bhi aye ..!”
“Abhimanyu!” Akshu shouted. She was furious.
“Neil, let’s go.” Abhi said. “Let’s get our things and leave, we can’t- especially I cannot live with LIARS.”
“Haan, Jao, we can’t live we cheaters either!” Akshu said, and she stormed to her room, her sister following her.
“Di! Di! Kya tha VO?” Aaru said as soon as they were in Akshu’s room.
“Just because I was with Ahaan, he thought I was cheating! And wasn’t he with Ruby?”
“He.. he was.. but both of you didn’t react well!”
“Ok..! Ok..! Now I don’t want to talk about him.. now just shh! And let me play my guitar..!”

“Akshu Di,” Ahaan said on call said. “Did you not contact him ever again? And why didn’t you tell him I’m your brother.?”
“Okay. Ugh, I’m so hungry.” Akshu got up but a flower vase fell.
