Chapter start
***************
It is a beautiful afternoon...in the Mehra house, everyone is having lunch when suddenly the doorbell rings
And as everyone was sitting down to eat, so instead of any family member getting up, the house helper opens the door but as soon as the person who came to the door steps inside the house and moves towards the family, the whole family gets surprised when they see the person without whom the house had been feeling deserted for the past 2 years.
" Bhai..." Aarav gets up from his chair and runs straight towards Ansh when he finally sees his elder brother in this house after two years
Well, that is a different matter, family members kept visiting London to meet Ansh in these two years except Simran because Simran is still somewhere hurt by Ansh's behaviour, she is still hurt by his decision of leaving like that 2 years ago.
Yes, she used to talk to him on phone but Simran is hurt by Ansh's decision of not coming here even once in 2 years and today maybe Ansh might have to work a little harder to pacify his mother.
" How are you ?" After hugging Aarav to his heart's content, Ansh separates from him and asks him
" Absolutely fine..." Aarav replies to him
And there Ansh sees that the whole family is standing behind Aarav to meet him except Simran, She's still sitting at the dining table with her face turned away from him, because suddenly after seeing her son in person after 2 years she has become emotional, her eyes are filled with tears and she is hiding her tears by turning her face away from him.
And There, Ansh stands in front of his father Raj
"What a wonderful surprise, welcome back home bachha..." Saying this emotionally, Raj hugs Ansh and Ansh's eyes also become moist after hugging his father after a long time.
After getting separated from Raj, Ansh touches the feet of his grandparents Ashish and Neela and hugs them and they too shower their love on him but now after meeting everyone, he looks at his mother
Well the whole family also knows about the matter between mother and son and they know that neither Simran is wrong nor Ansh, Both are right in their place.
Ansh looks at Raj who gives him a smile indicating him not to worry too much, just try once, she will melt.
And there Simran, who now knows that Ansh will come to her, gets up and starts going to her room but before she leaves, Ansh goes close to her and hugs her from the front.
" I'm sorry mom." Ansh says and Simran's eyes fill up more as she touches her son, she is angry but at the end she is a mother, No matter how angry she is, if her son comes to her like this, it is obvious that she will melt in seconds.
" Stay away from me, like you stayed away for 2 years." Simran says
"Now I will never stay away from you, never...please forgive me this time." He says this to which Simran cannot take it anymore and she hugs him back making him realise that she has forgiven him.
" Next time if you leave me and go somewhere, I will never really talk to you." She warns him after separating from him, to which he smiles.
" Next time I will take you along...I missed the food cooked by you a lot." Ansh says while kissing her hand holding it in his hand.
" So coincidentally today's food has also been prepared by your mom, so come and eat it." Raj says making Ansh happy
" But wait a minute, this drama of being angry was going on in front of us but she already knew that her son was coming that is why she prepared today's lunch." Raj looks at Simran with suspicion and says
" Huh, There was nothing like that, I did not know that he was coming but yes, this was a heart connection between mother and son, you will not understand..." Simran says this to Raj.
" Ya ya, There is only a connection between you mother and son, what about us father, we are here just for name sake." Raj continues but before his parents' argument can get any further, Ansh stops them
" Mom, I am hungry..." Ansh says and everyone smiles at his words and nothing further, but the whole family sits again for lunch and Simran feeds the entire lunch to Ansh with her own hands.
" Wow, I wish I too had come back from studies outside, then mom would have fed me with her hands like this." Aarav pretends to be jealous and says looking at Ansh and Simran
" Even after getting all the love of mom for 2 years alone, you are still not satisfied, you jealous creature." Ansh tells him
" Bhai, Who gets satisfied with mother's love? Jitna mile utna Kam hai." Aarav says and Ansh makes an ooo face at his words, thinking that his little brother has become a bit mature, finally.
And then, there, with this fun and conversation, the family completes their lunch.
🦋🦋
Later, Ansh is unpacking his stuff and Aarav is also present in the room with him and looking at Aarav, Ansh thinks of something and he knows that after what he is going to say, his younger brother might tease him, but it is important for him to warn him about this thing.
" Waise, Bhabhi ke chamche..." Aarav gets shocked when Ansh calls him by this name...okay he agrees with all the things Advaita says but will he call her like this now
" Main wapas aa gya hu, ye baat apni Bhabhi ko mat btaana." Ansh tells him, to which he looks at him
Well, Aarav and the family know that Ansh has accepted his relationship with Advaita: but Ansh does not know that Advaita has told this to everyone.
But the family is happy with Ansh's decision that he has finally accepted his relationship with Advaita wholeheartedly.
" Jaane waale din unhe kuch naa btaana toh mujhe samjh aaya tha...par ab kyon mnaa kar rahe ho ?" Aarav says and it was not wrong to say that he was going to call Advaita in some time to tell her that Ansh has returned.
" Bas yun hi...aur keh raha hu na, nahi btaana, Matlab nahi btaana." Ansh tells him but immediately a mischievous smile appears on Aarav's face
" Oh, I understand you want to surprise bhabhi just like us....oh then do one thing, plan a special and romantic date for her." Aarav gives him a suggestion to which Ansh gives him a look
" Ab tum mujhe btaoge mujhe kya karna chahiye aur kya nahi ?" Ansh tells him in a frightening tone to which Aarav looks at him
" I am not afraid of you and whether you agree or not, you need classes on all of these things right now." Aarav says to which Ansh picks up a pillow from the bed and throws it at him
And before Ansh can beat Aarav more, he looks at the door when he hears his beloved sister's voice
" Bhaiiiiii...." Aaira happily speaks looking at Ansh and the smile on Ansh's face also increases looking at Aaira
And she does nothing further but runs towards Ansh and hugs him.
" I missed you a lot." She says hugging him. Well as soon as Simran called the Khanna house and informed about Ansh's return, So Aaira could not stop herself and along with Aaira the whole family also came to meet Ansh
But Aaira was so impatient that she came straight to his room without waiting for him to come down.
" I also missed you a lot, how are you, is everything okay?" Ansh says while separating from her to which Aaira nods yes.
" Everything is fine." says Aaira to which Ansh smiles and then the two siblings sit there and share some more things with each other.
" Well, you and Aarav must have enjoyed a lot without me...you might not have missed me much." Ansh says to which Aira smiles
" It is not like that, no one can take your place and Aarav Bhai doesn't even have time for me now.... that's why I missed you a lot, now my old days will come back...we will have fun again." Aaira blurts this out in flow to which Ansh looks at her and then at Aarav
But before Ansh could say anything on this, Aarav says
" Not again Aaira....you started complaining about me as soon as bhai came." Aarav says this to which Aaira realises that maybe she said too much in the flow but maybe she didn't say anything wrong.
" Bhai, I am not complaining, you also know that you don't spend time with me anymore." says Aaira
" Please stop being jealous of her." Aarav says in irritation to which Aaira gets shocked, why would she be jealous of Aadhriti, she has no reason to be jealous of her.
" Bhai, I am not jealous of her but what I am saying is also not wrong." says Aaira but seeing this thing between them Ansh gets confused
" Huh, It is clear from your words that you are jealous of her, you probably don't like me spending time with her, that is why you complain again and again about this but remember one thing, it is not necessary that every person gives you all their time every time." Aarav says and somewhere Aira feels bad about his words, she doesn't need everyone's time, her family's time is enough for her:
She is already blessed enough to have a family that gives her all time, gives her their love and she is so blessed that she never has to be jealous of anyone.
But right now she felt little bad about Aarav words, What did she say that he got so angry, she just made a small complaint that he doesn't give her time like before, what's wrong in this ? But still she thought to say sorry to him.
" I'm sorry bhai, if you felt bad about something I said...I didn't come here to fight with you." Aaira says and Aarav also realizes from her words that maybe he spoke too much
" It's ok, I am leaving anyway, you have come to meet Bhai." He says and leaves from there.
And Ansh feels something strange seeing this thing between them, these two were not like that and neither was Aarav like that...No matter how much Aaira complains, no matter how many childish things she says or does, Aarav never talked to her like this, so what happened to him now.
" Ye tum dono kiske baare me baat kar rahe the...kiske saath hone se Aarav tumhe time nahi deta ? And who are you jealous of, according to him?" Ansh questions Aaira to which Aaira looks at him
Well, in the flow she did make a mistake but now she cannot tell anything about Aarav's personal life which Aarav has not told the family yet.
" Nothing, I was just talking about college friends...nowadays bhai is busy with his friends in college, that's why I told him this." says Aaira
But Ansh doesn't believe her words but still he decides to ignore it for the time being and thinks of talking to Aarav later about this because whether the matter was small or big, he did not like this thing between his two younger ones.

Time passes
Today is the day when Advaita's father's retirement party is held at their home.
The Maheshwari family had invited not only the Mehra family but also the Khanna family because even though the Khanna and Mehra families live in separate houses but everyone knows that these two families are one.
These two families do not do anything without each other and this thing increases the beauty of this family.
And on top of that Priyal has an old relationship with Khanna family and Avni and Siddhart also didn't meet them much but he knows Avni since his sister's college days.
On the other side, on the insistence of Simran and Raj, Ansh also gets ready to go to Maheshwari house. Anyway, his special girl had already given him a special invitation.
But still Ansh was showing some tantrums in front of his family members, he was refusing before going there on which Raj and Simran explain to him that he should not do this, he should come there with them.
" hmm, Now I understand how you made this plan to come suddenly? Obviously Bhabhi must have called you and bhaiya could not have said no to Bhabhi...You came back for her right?" Seeing Ansh getting ready in front of the mirror, Aarav teases him saying this.
But Ansh doesn't say anything on this statement because it is obviously true but he can't admit it.
" Kya tu yehaan se baahar jaayega ?" Ansh says this to him
" Kyon Bhabhi se baat karni hai ?" Aarav teases him more and he glares at him but now Aarav gets scared of this look of his brother and before Ansh beats him, Aarav thinks it is better to run away from there.
And here Ansh smile thinking something but at the same time he's little nervous to meet her.
🦋🦋
" Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for coming here." Maheshwari family welcomes the Mehra family and this word is of Siddhart for them.
" What a wonderful surprise Ansh beta, I did not expect you but I am very happy that you came." Siddhart says while keeping his hand on Ansh's shoulder when Ansh comes close to him to touch his feet
" Wapas kab aaye ?" Shidhart asks him
" Ji kal." Ansh answers but inside the house, Ansh's eyes are only looking for Advaita and his wait ends when he sees Advaita coming down the stairs
She is in a peach colored saree, well she knew that her in-laws are coming so Advaita chooses to wear a saree today because no matter how modern she is, she knows what kind of clothes look good at which place and in front of whom and her aim has always been to impress her in-laws, so thinking about this, she chose to wear a saree.
And seeing the Mehra family, she moves towards them to meet them but her steps stop when her eyes fall on Ansh.
He cannot believe his eyes that he is standing in front of him.
It had been almost a week since they had stopped talking, he was not answering any of her calls or messages and today he was in front of her like this.
No this can't be true, she must be dreaming with her eyes open, she thinks this while looking at ansh who is already watching her with a smile.
