In akshara's room

Akshara was lying on the bed while abhimanyu was sitting beside her.

Akshara- abhi...tumse kuch kehna tha

Abhimanyu looks at her- bolo

Akshara holds his hand- sorry kehna tha (abhimanyu frowns) maine tumhe baar baar reject kiya...tumse pyaar hote huye bhi tumhe mana kiya...na jaane kitni baar tumhara dil toda.....

Abhimanyu sighs and holds her hand- akshu...tumhe sorry kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai...haa us waqt mera dil toot ta tha lekin ab tum mere paas ho...aur jo bhi hua jaise bhi hua...bohot khubsoorat tha kyoki aakhir me tum mere sath ho...is tarah mera haath pakde huye...aaj meri patni hone ke hak se vrat rakha hai tumne...tumhara pati hone ke hak se main tumhari maang me sindoor bharta hu...akshu mujhe iske alawa aur kuch nahi chahiye...and i am so happy to be with u

Akshara smiles teary eyed and hugs him. Abhimanyu kisses her forehead.

Later they go down as manjiri called them.

In hall

Manjiri- akshu chaand aa gaya hai beta...chalo vrat kholte hai

Akshara nods. They go on terrace.

On terrace

Keesh and Abhira were standing together.

Naksh- Harshvardhan ji...aap vaha kyo khade hai...manjiri ji ke sath aaiye...vrat toh aap hi todenge

Abhimanyu looks at Manjiri who was worried. Harshvardhan wants to deny but not to come in bad books of naksh he quietly stands in front of manjiri shocking all birlas except akshara.

Manjiri masks her expressions- akshu...sabse pehle chaand ki aarti karke fir channi se pehle chaand ko aur fir abhi ko dekhna...uske baad abhi ki aarti karke use tilak lagana...aur abhi fir tu akshu ko pehle paani aur fir mithai khilana

Abhira nods. They all start the rituals. Akshara does aarti of moon while abhimanyu admires akshara doing all rituals with happily. Akshara looks at the moon with channi and then slowly looks at abhimanyu through it. They both smile. Akshara keeps the channi and does aarti of abhimanyu and puts a tilak on his forehead. Abhimanyu takes the kalash and makes akshara drink water and then makes her eat sweet. They both smile.

Akshara sees keerti and manjiri taking blessings of their husbands. Akshara also bends and touches abhimanyu's feet. Abhimanyu gets startled and makes her stand.

Abhimanyu- akshu kya kar rahi ho...tumhe ye sab karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai...izzat pair chune se nahi hoti balki dil se hoti hai...aur main janta hu ki ham dono hi ek dusre ki bohot izzat karte hai...tumhe mere pair choone ki zaroorat nahi hai

Akshara smiles and looks down.

Keerti- chalo baccho...khana khane aa jao

All elders leave. Parth nishtha and shefali also leave.

Krish- akshu...tera vrat toh toot gaya...ab bechare mere dost ka vrat bhi khol de...bechara subah se bhooka pyaasa surgery kar raha hai

Akshara is shocked hearing krish and looks at abhimanyu in disbelief. Kairav smiles. Neil was also surprised. Abhimanyu glares krish.

Akshara shocked- abhi...tumne bhi vrat rakha hai

Abhimanyu looks at akshara with caught look.

Neil teases them- kya baat hai bro...sahi jaa rahe ho...ek mauka nahi chodte na aap bhabhi ko impress karne ka

Abhimanyu- impress use kiya jata hai jo aapko pasand nahi karta aur teri bhabhi toh pehle se hi mujhse pyaar karti hai

Kairav- aur tumhara pyaar bhi tumhare actions se dikhta hi hai Abhimanyu...sach...tumhe pyaar karna bhi aata hai aur dikhana bhi

Abhimanyu smiles- nibhana bhi aata hai...aur maine koi itna bada kaam bhi nahi kiya...akshu meri lambi umar ke liye vrat rakh rahi hai...toh mujhe bhi toh akshu ki lambi umar ke liye vrat rakhna chahiye...ab akshu ke bina main jee kar kya karunga

Neil- point hai bro

Abhimanyu was about to say something but stops as he sees akshara raising the kalash near his lips. Abhimanyu looks at akshara. Kairav krish and neil smile.

Abhimanyu drinks water not removing his gaze from akshara. Akshara then makes him eat a bite of sweet. Akshara looks down.

Kairav- chalo khana khane chalte hai (looks at abhira) tum dono ko bhook bhi lag rahi hogi...aa jao

Abhimanyu nods as kairav krish and neil leave.

Abhimanyu looks at akshara- akshu

Akshara not looking at him- tumne bataya kyo nahi

Abhimanyu intensely looking at her- tumhe accha nahi laga

Akshara looks at him. He was surprised seeing tears in her eyes.

Abhimanyu cups her face- akshu

Akshara emotionally- koi kisi se itna pyar kaise kar sakta hai...main iske layak nahi hu

Abhimanyu wipes her tears- tum layak nahi ho toh fir kaun hai...akshu pyaar ka matlab tumne sikhaya hai mujhe...tumhari har aadat ab meri aadat ban chuki ho...tum meri aadat ban chuki ho...i love u

Akshara smiles- i love u too abhi

Abhimanyu kisses her forehead- chale

Akshara nods.

On dining table

All were having dinner. Abhimanyu was making sure that akshara ate well. He got the juice and makes akshara drink it despite her many protests and whines.

Birlas were now ready to leave. Akshara hugs singhanias.

Naksh- apna dhyaan rakhna akshu...aur ham tumse fir milne aayenge...ham touch me rahenge ok

Akshara- main aapse parso milne aaungi

Naksh nods. Keerti hugs akshara.

Keerti emotional- is baar apni buami ko bhool mat jana

Akshara nods in no. Keerti gives her a necklace.

Keerti- ye tumhari mumma ka hai...tumhare papa ne diya tha unhe jab tum paida hone wali thi...naira ki iccha thi ki vo ye tumhe de

Akshara looks at it happily and thanks keerti. She hugs kairav and krish too. Birlas leave.
