As the car came to a stop, Abhira gazed out at the house, taking in its charming, two-story structure with a sloping roof and large windows.
The house exuded a warm, inviting atmosphere, surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden filled with vibrant flowers and towering trees.
A winding stone path led to the entrance, where a sturdy wooden door with intricate carvings seemed to welcome them with open arms.
The trio sat in comfortable silence for a moment, drinking in the tranquility of their surroundings.
The soft rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds filled the air, creating a sense of peace that enveloped them all.
A gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers through the open windows of the car, further enhancing the sense of relaxation that had settled over them.
As they sat there, the warm sunshine casting a golden glow over the scene, Abhira felt a sense of calm wash over her.
It was as if the peaceful atmosphere of the house and its surroundings had begun to soothe her frayed nerves, offering her a respite from the turmoil that had been brewing inside her.
Just as Abhir, Abhira, and Ishika were taking in the beauty of the house, a warm and familiar voice called out to them.
"Welcome home, kids!" The voice was followed by the sound of footsteps, and soon a tall, handsome man with a kind face and a warm smile emerged from the doorway.
He enveloped Abhir in a tight hug, slapping him on the back affectionately. "It's been too long, beta," he said, his voice filled with emotion.
Abhir hugged him back, a wide smile spreading across his face.
Abhira and Ishika looked on, their eyes shining with curiosity. They had never seen Abhir so carefree and happy before, and it was clear that this man was someone special to him.
As they pulled back, Abhira and Ishika got their first good look at the man. He was tall and lean, with a strong jawline and piercing brown eyes that twinkled with warmth.
His dark hair was flecked with threads of silver, giving him a distinguished air.
He was dressed in casual, comfortable clothing that seemed perfectly suited to the relaxed atmosphere of the house.
Ishika's curiosity got the better of her, and she tugged on Abhir's arm. "Who is he, Abhir?" she asked, her eyes wide with wonder.
Abhir's face lit up with a bright smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he gazed at Kairav with affection.
"Well, he is Kairav Goenka, Mumma's brother, and mine and Abhira's Mamu!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement and a hint of pride.
As he spoke, Abhir's eyes sparkled with warmth, and he took a step forward, as if eager to bridge the gap between his sister and their uncle.
His smile was infectious, and it seemed to light up the entire atmosphere, making the moment feel like a joyous reunion.
The tension in Abhira's body seemed to ease slightly as she looked at Abhir, her expression softening ever so slightly.
Kairav, too, smiled warmly, his eyes misting over with emotion as he gazed at his niece and nephew. He opened his arms wide, inviting them to come closer.
"Come, kids," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "Give your Mamu a hug. It's been far too long."
Abhira's eyes flashed with a mix of shock and confusion, her gaze darting back and forth between Kairav and Abhir.
"Mumma never told me about him!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with a hint of accusation and hurt.
Her tone was tinged with a sense of betrayal, as if she couldn't understand why her mother had kept this secret from her.
Abhira's face scrunched up in a mixture of emotions, her brow furrowed in confusion.
She looked like she was struggling to process this new information, her mind racing with questions and doubts.
"Why didn't she tell me?" Abhira asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "What happened between them?"
Kairav's expression turned somber, and he looked at Abhira with a deep sadness in his eyes. The lines on his face seemed to deepen, and his eyes clouded over with a mix of regret and longing.
"I know, beta," he said, his voice low and gentle, barely above a whisper. "Your mumma and I... we haven't been in touch for a long time."
He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "There's a lot you don't know, Abhira. A lot of secrets, a lot of pain.
But I want you to know that I'm here for you now, and I'll do everything in my power to make things right."
Just then, a warm and melodious voice called out from inside the house. "Will you keep my children outside only, Kairav ji? Bring them inside!"
The voice was like music, and it seemed to wrap itself around Abhir and Abhira, making them feel welcome and loved.
Kairav looked at his wife, who had appeared in the doorway, a beautifully decorated aarti thaal clutched in her hand.
She smiled at Abhir and Abhira, her eyes shining with warmth and hospitality.
The fragrance of incense sticks and camphor wafted out of the house, mingling with the scent of flowers in the garden, creating a heady and intoxicating aroma that seemed to envelop them all.
Kairav chuckled and said, "Come, children, I don't want to make my biwi angry." He winked at Abhir, Abhira, and Ishika, and they couldn't help but giggle at his lighthearted joke.
With a warm smile, Kairav gestured for them to follow him, and he walked towards the doorway, his wife waiting with a warm smile.
Abhir, Abhira, and Ishika trailed behind him, their eyes scanning the beautiful interior of the house, taking in the vibrant colors and the warm, cozy atmosphere.
As they entered, Kairav's wife greeted them with a gentle namaste, her eyes shining with kindness.
Abhir smiled warmly and made the introductions. "Abhira, she is Muskaan Goenka, our Mami and Bua too. She is Abhinav Papa's sister also," he explained, his eyes shining with affection as he looked at Muskaan.
Muskaan's face lit up with a bright smile as she heard Abhir's introduction. She opened her arms wide, inviting Abhira and Ishika to come closer.
"Come, beta, give your Mami a hug," she said, her voice warm and welcoming.
Her eyes sparkled with kindness as she looked at Abhira, who seemed a bit hesitant at first, but then slowly smiled and walked into Muskaan's open arms.
shika bent down to take the blessings of Kairav and Muskaan, Kairav's face lit up with a warm smile as he blessed her, his eyes shining with affection.
"Hamare ghar ki betiya pair ne chhuti!" Kairav exclaimed, his voice filled with joy, as he hugged Ishika tightly.
The warmth of his embrace made Ishika feel like she was part of the family already.
Kairav pulled back and looked at Abhir, a proud smile on his face. "I must say, Abhir, your choice is amazing. We loved our daughter-in-law!" he said, as he side-hugged Ishika, pulling her close in a warm gesture of acceptance and love.
Muskaan nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with happiness as she smiled at Ishika.
Abhir and Ishika both blushed, their faces turning a deep shade of pink as they exchanged a loving glance.
Abhir's eyes sparkled with happiness as he looked at Ishika, and she smiled back at him, her eyes shining with love and adoration.
Kairav and Muskaan exchanged a knowing glance, their faces creasing into warm smiles.
They could see the love and chemistry between Abhir and Ishika, and it filled their hearts with joy.
"We're so happy to have you as a part of our family, Ishika," Muskaan said, her voice filled with warmth and sincerity.
............
Abhira's curiosity got the better of her as they settled inside the house. She turned to Kairav, her eyes sparkling with inquiry.
"Tell me, naa, why Mumma never told me about Kairav Mamu and Muskaan Mami?" she asked, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern.
Kairav's expression turned somber, and he let out a deep sigh. His eyes seemed to cloud over, as if memories of the past were flooding back.
"When Aarohi died, the Goenka family blamed Akshu for it," he began, his voice low and measured.
"She left with Abhir, and Muskaan and I... we broke our ties with the Goenkas because of their stupidness." His voice cracked with emotion as he spoke.
"We tried to find your mumma, but we couldn't. We thought she was happy, and that's all that mattered."
The room fell silent, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioner. Abhira's eyes were wide with shock, her mind reeling from the revelation.
She looked at Abhir, who seemed calmed. Muskaan's eyes were filled with tears, and she reached out to put a comforting hand on Abhira's shoulder.
Abhir took a deep breath, his eyes locked on Abhira's as he continued the story.
"Then, when I tried to find Mumma, I failed... but in the process, I found Kairav Mamu again," he said, his voice filled with a mix of emotions.
"I was really angry with him, with the entire Goenka family, for what they did to Mumma. But eventually, I forgave him." Abhir's eyes softened as he looked at Kairav, a hint of a smile on his face.
"Mamu explained everything to me, and I understood that he was also a victim of circumstances. We reconnected, and I'm glad we did."
Abhir's face lit up with a bright smile as he said, "And this was your surprise, Abhira!" His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he opened his arms wide, inviting Abhira to come closer.
Abhira's face broke into a wide smile as she flung her arms around Abhir, hugging him tightly. "Thank you, bhaiya!" she exclaimed, her voice muffled against his chest. "Best surprise ever!"
Kairav's eyes twinkled with mischief as he said, "Well, I have one more surprise for you guys!" He paused for dramatic effect, a sly smile spreading across his face.
Just then, the doorbell rang, shrill and insistent. Kairav's smile grew wider as he exclaimed, "Ah, right on cue! I think our surprise has arrived!" He nodded to Muskaan, who got up to answer the door, a curious expression on her face.
Abhira and Abhir exchanged a excited glance, their minds racing with possibilities. "What is it, Kairav Mamu?" Abhira asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her eyes shining with anticipation.
As Muskaan opened the door, two elderly figures stood before her, their faces etched with lines of age and experience.
One was a woman, her silver hair styled in a neat bun, her eyes warm and gentle behind a pair of reading glasses. She was dressed in a elegant sari, its colors muted with age.
The other was a man, his hair thinning and gray, his eyes twinkling with warmth and kindness. He leaned on a wooden cane, his face creasing into a warm smile as he looked at the gathering before him.
Abhira and Abhir exchanged a curious glance, wondering who these elderly strangers could be. Kairav's smile grew wider, and he nodded to the elderly couple, as if inviting them to come forward.
.........
Well yaya kairav and muskaan are here (I imagined Farhaan saeed and Hania Aamir for their role). And i guess you guys might guess who are the elderly couple!"
