The next day

Laksh,with his parents,Shekhar and Janki Gadodia, reached Maheswari mansion.
The maids welcomed them and made them sit in the living room when Sanskar and Ragini arrived.

They both took blessings from the elders by touching their feet, which made the Gadodias a little shocked but then happy that both the siblings were grounded and well-mannered.
Introductions were done. And in between talks, sanskar finally asked about their daughter, "Apki beti nahi ayi? "

"Swara ka aaj college me ek fest hai isiliye nahi aa payi." Replied Janki.
"Acha, college. Waise kya padhti hai woh?"

"Swara computer science engineering kr rahi hai. Abhi final year shuru hi hua hai."

"Internship mil gayi? Campus selection hota hai na final yr ke around "
To which laksh said, " Woh abhi tak to nahi hua uska. Baki companies me apply krne wali hai sir woh kuch Dino me."

Both the parents were kinda impressed that he is taking interest, just like a family member. They had their own insecurities, that there is a huge difference in their financial background, and were skeptical if the relations would get difficult because of that.

"Arey ek kaam karna. Usse mere company me ane bol do. Waise bhi hum abhi interns ki selection kr rahe hai. "
Which surprised them as he, the owner of one of the best tech companies, was offering their daughter internship in his company. They knew how much this would impact swaras career and would kickstart her journey. So they readily agreed. And blessed him.

After dinner, sanskar stood up and said, "Apni Ragini ko behen se jyada beti ki tarah Pala hai mene. Aur aap logon ko mil kr mujhe tasali hogai ki woh apke ghar jayegi to khush rehgi."
"Hume bhi bahut khushi hogi bete ki woh hamari beti ban kr aye. Toh fir pandit ji se shadi ki date nikal kr hum batate hai."

With that, they left. Ragini turned to her bhai, hugged him, crying a little, cause she knew how much hard for her bhai this is and also for her. Cause since so many years, it's been the both of them,together against the world.

There in Gadodia house Laksh informed swara about the internship offer. Swara first thought that he was joking, but when confirmed, she started jumping and thanking her bro. After telling her all the details about the joining, he left kissing her forehead.
Swara slept while praying to God.

The next morning
After getting ready, Swara was ready to leave for the company.
Her maa made her eat dahi shakar(chini), and they blessed her.
"Kanha ji aj ek nayi shuruwat karne jaa rahi hai meri beti. Uski raksha karna."

They were praying for her new beginning, unknown that a whole new beginning was awaiting...
