Anjali was dressing up.Sagar rolled his eyes on her.
Anjali smiled as she loves Sagar’s eyes falling on her secretly.
Anj:Why are you staring at me like this?
Sagar went near her.
Sagar:I was just seeing how beautiful you are.
She blushed.
Sagar:I feel like romancing you.But what to do?No time as we have to leave immediately for the party.No problem.We will romance after coming back home.
They both giggled.
All were excited to see Sagar and Anjali.
Sagar touched the feet of Abhishek and Pragya.
Abhi:God bless you.
Anjali hugged her parents.
Pragya:How are you beta?
Anjali:We are fine mom.
Pragya:Feeling very nice to see you both happy.
Anjali and Sagar smiled.
Anj:Hey everyone.I am here..
She ran towards her brothers and hugged them.
She tied a golden watch around Manoj’s wrist:Happy birthday Munna…
He caressed her head and said:It’s so pretty Anji…
She smiled.
Sagar:Hi my brothers in law.
Manoj,PANDIT and Sameer:Hi our only brother in law.
They laughed.
Tanu came from behind:Hi guys…I am also here along with Sagar and Anjali..
Abhi and Pragya’s face became dull.
Others also became dull seeing her.
Abhi:Why are you here Tanu?Won’t you allow us to be happy on this special occasion?
Tanu smirked:Munna is my son Abhi.I also have the right to be a part of his birthday celebration.Right Munna?
Manoj:I am not your son.My mother is Pragya Maheshwari who nurtured me with love.
Tanu got irritated while Pragya became emotional.Abhi smirked at Tanu.
Tanu:I am the one who gave birth to you Munna.Because of me only you are born and celebrating birthday today.
Abhi:Where was your love when you left your kids and went?
Tanu became dull.
Pragya:Leave it Abhi.Today is a nice day.Don’tspoil it by fighting with her.
Abhi:Just because Pragya told me,I am not asking you to leave Tanu.
Tanu suppressed her anger.
Tanu looked at Sagar:When your parents died I only brought you up as your mother was my best friend.Still you are keeping quiet when I got insulted?
Sagar:How can I support you as they are right.You had left Munna and Anjali when they needed you the most.They got the love they deserved from Pragya Maa.So it’s natural that they consider her as their mother.
Anjali:Don’t emotionally blackmail Sagar.You brought up Sagar not because he is your best friend’s son,but because of the luxuries you will get if you stay with him.
Sagar:Anji…please control your tongue.
Anjali:Don’t stop me Sagar.You may be grateful to her.But I am not.
Sagar became upset.
Sagar thought:If Anjali blasts at Tanu aunty like this,she will be more angry with us.Save us God.
Abhi:Sagar is a loving boy.That’s why I got my daughter married to him despite of the bitter fact that you are his God Mother.
Tanu:Enough.I can’t stay here anymore and waste my time.
Tanu walked out.All were relieved.
Maheshwaris’ family friends Jagat and Prafulla came.
Prafulla:Hello guys…
Jagat:Sorry for becoming late.This Prafulla took so much of time in dressing.
Prafulla:Hello…I am a woman.A woman needs to dress up well.Right Pragya?
Pragya smiled:Of course yes.
Pandit looked for Preeti.
Pragya:Where is Preeti?
Prafulla:.Preeti …..Where is she?She was here with us.
Suddenly Preeti came from behind.PANDIT became happy.
Preeti:Sorry…my earring was missing.I was searching for it.
Prafulla:Did you get your earring?
Preeti:Yes I got it.It was lying near the gate.
PANDIT thought:She is just like her mother.So fashion conscious.
Preeti’s eyes met Pandit.Pandit smiled.She blushed.
PANDIT:Hi Preeti.
Preeti:Hi Pandit…
PANDIT:You are looking so stylish…
She blushed:Thank you.I know that I am very stylish.
PANDIT:O..really?
Preeti:But when you tell me that i am beautiful it’s definitely very special.
Pandit smiled:Really?Why?
Preeti blushed:It’s like that.
They shared a sweet eye lock.
Rakesh,Aparna,Naina and Swati came.
Rakesh:Did you recognize her?
Abhishek:Not really.
Aparna:This is Swati.
Abhishek:Swati?
Pragya:Swati…you have grown so big.
Swati smiled.
Swati’s eyes fell on Manoj.
Swati went near Manoj.
SWATI:Did you recognize me?
Manoj:Swati?
SWATI:You recognized me.But how?
Manoj:I don’t know.But my mind said that you are Swati.
She smiled.
Manoj:How did you recognize me?
SWATI:I recognized you.That’s it.
He smiled.
SWATI:Happy birthday Munna.
She gave him a gift.
Manoj:Thank you so much.
SWATI:Hope you will like my gift.Open it after the party.
Manoj:I am sure that I will like it.
She smiled.
Sameer could’nt take his eyes off Naina.She was looking gorgeous.
Naina’s eyes met Sameer.She realized that his eyes were on her.She was blossoming like a flower.Her hair danced in breeze.
They both got lost in each other.
Sameer:Now no one will believe that you are a doctor.You don’t look like a doctor at all.
NAINA:Then?
Sameer:You look like a top actress.
Naina smiled:Well…not a bad compliment.
But I prefer to be a doctor who treats sick people and cure them.
Sameer:Yes Naina.I also prefer you as a good doctor who treats my Munna bhaiyya.
Sameer became emotional.
Understanding his emotion Naina smiled comforting him:Sure Sameer.I will be the best doctor for Munna and I will give him the best treatment along with my dad.
Sameer smiled.
Manoj cut cake and everyone sang birthday song for him.Manoj fed the cake to his parents and siblings.They fed him back.
Abhishek:Munna is my first son and very special too.
Pragya:Munna is the first one to call me mother.I am lucky to have a son like him.
Manoj became emotional:You both are my luck.I am very lucky to have such loving and supportive parents.
Abhishek and Pragya became very emotional.
Manoj sang emotionally for Abhishek and Pragya.

Abhishek and Pragya became so emotional that they hugged all their children.
Aparna to Rakesh:Such a sweet family.Right?
Rakesh:Yes.I have not seen such a lovely family.Touchwood.
Aparna:Let God bless them to be happy always.
Rakesh:Yes.
Prafulla whispered to Jagat:Manoj is lucky to have such a wonderful family.
But it’s pity that because of his leg no girl is willing to marry him.
Jagat:When right time comes he will also get a girl.
Prafulla:Who will marry this handicap?
Jagat:Prafulla…atleast now you keep quiet.
Prafulla:Why are you getting angry?I said the truth only.
Swati who overheard it became sad.
She thought:Poor Munna.He is so loving.But stupid girls failed to see his beautiful heart.
PANDIT and Sameer overheard it and fumed with anger and pain.
PANDIT went near Preeti:Tell your mother to have a control over her tongue.She is saying that no girl wants to marry Munna bhaiyya.How dare she?Was she pitying him or ridiculing him?
Preeti felt upset:I apologize on behalf of my mother.You know my mother.Right?Her tongue is loose.But she is good at heart.
PANDIT:Sorry Preeti.I was rude to you.
Preeti:It’s ok Pandit.Your anger is justified.
Pandit kept quiet.
Preeti:By the way Pandit…You look dashing.
PANDIT:Really?You really liked me?I mean I look really dashing?
Preeti blushed:Yes.You look really handsome.Very cute too.
PANDIT smiled sharing a cute eye lock with her.
Sameer went to a corner and wept.Naina saw it and went near him:What happened Sameer?
Sameer:Naina,please cure Munna bhaiyya.People are ridiculing him that no girl wants to marry him.My bhaiyya is perfect.He has got a loving heart.How dare people make fun of him?People are seeing only his physical defect.Though he is efficient,capable and intelligent,though he is down to earth,though he helps others, all are taunting him.Why this happens with Munna bhaiyya Naina?
Naina felt upset for Manoj.
But she hid her pain and tried to give strength to Sameer.
NAINA:Sameer…your Munna bhaiyya will be alright.We are trying our best and he has improved a lot compared to his condition in childhood.And a nice girl will enter his life seeing his beautiful heart and she will love him truly.Trust me.And those who ridiculed Munna…let them go to hell.
They themselves will be ashamed to talk like this about him when they see him happy with his true love.
She consoled him.
She cupped his face in her hands:And Sameer…this is not the occasion to get upset.If you become upset…what will be Munna’s condition?
So enjoy the party.Celebrate to the fullest.What more is needed for Munna to be happy?
He smiled.
They went near Manoj.
PANDIT,Anjali and Sameer put cake’s icing on Manoj’s face and Manoj screamed.Then all the 4 laughed.Naina,Preeti,Abhishek and Pragya smiled seeing them enjoy.
Pragya to Abhishek:Thank you so much for making me a mother.Otherwise I would not have got this much love.
Abhi:Pragya…it’ not because of me that you are getting love.You are getting love because of your love for your children.
She smiled.
Sameer went near Naina with the cake.
Naina:I already got the cake Sameer.
Sameer:But it was not fed by you.
Sameer fed her the cake with his hand.She was surprised.
With a naughty smile he turned back to go.
Suddenly Naina called him:Sameer!
He turned back.
She gave him a flying kiss.
He was stunned.
Slowly he smiled.Naina was blushing.
At night…
Manoj opened Swati’s gift.
He could’nt believe his eyes.The gift box consisted of the framed childhood photographs of Manoj and Swati.
He was very happy.Suddenly his phone rang.
Manoj:It’s an unknown number.Who is this?
He picked up the call.
“Hi Munna…Swati here”.
He was surprised to see Swati on the screen.
Manoj:Swati!How did you get my number?
SWATI:Naina gave me your number.I was restless thinking whether you will like my gift or not.That’s why I rang you up.Did you open my gift?
Manoj:Yes.I saw your gift and this is one of the most beautiful gifts i ever received. It reminded me of our childhood days.I will cherish this always.
Swati smiled:I feel so happy Munna.Do you remember our childhood days?
He smiled:I remember everything.Those were the golden days.
SWATI:Yes,they were.
Manoj:You also remember those days?
SWATI:Though I was away from this place my mind and heart were here.So I remember each and everything.
Manoj smiled.
