Abhi who was not aware of the fact that pragya had apologized Aliya, had much hatred towards her..

While pragya had respect on Abhi for his care and concern towards his sister..

Days roll on..pragya and Aliya's bond increased..They become so close to each other..

One day pragya came so early to the college as she had some works to do..while going to the staff room, she saw Aliya sitting in the classroom and crying silently..

pragya's mind voice- Why she is so early to the class..what could have happened..

Aliya's phone rings..she picks it hesitantly..

Aliya- Hello..

pragya looks her keenly.

Aliya- Aunty ji how many times I would have said u to not wish on my birthday..I regret this day in my life..pls don't hurt me by ur wishes..I plead u..she disconnects the call and cries hard..

pragya couldn't stand more..she walks to her and slowly touch her shoulder..Aliya turns to see pragya..she wipes her tears and give a fake smile to her..

Aliya- Mam

pragya- Aliya..what happened

Aliya- Nothing Mam

pragya- Do u  think I can't understand ur  emotions..is that ur birthday today..

Aliya- No..its not my birthday..it is the day when my mother passed away from me...yes I killed my mom..she died because of giving birth to me..I'm not blessed enough to see her face..she cries hard closing her eyes.

pragya's eyes also well up in tears automatically..she slowly touch her hands and make her to sit..

pragya- Who said ur mom passed away..

Aliya looks upon..

pragya- ur mom may not be physically present here but she is around u, watching u..do u think she will be happy if u be like this..I could understand u miss her..did u think of the situation of ur brothers and father..to what extent they would feel bad for not able to wish their little cuttie on her birthday..come out of this insecurity..u must fill in the gap of ur mother..ur family might not expressed it, but they also miss her na...be like a mom to ur bhais..think ur father..how much he would get hurt.. if they wish celebrate ur birthday accept it happily and spread happiness to them..

pragya's soothing words were like a medicine for her wounded soul..

Aliya- Really is my mom around me..she asks innocently..

pragya couldn't control her tears..but she controls hard and smile at her..

pragya- yes..she will be happy only if her daughter is happy..

Aliya wipes her tears..

Aliya- Mam..if u don't mind, can I lie on ur lap..

pragya- why not..if not for my Aliya then for whom..she smiles..

Aliya lays on her lap, pragya runs her fingers through her hair lovingly and kiss her forehead gently..

Aliya- I got my mom back..she says emotionally while a drop of tear escape from her eyes..

pragya wipes it and nods..

After sometime, Aliya gets up and hugs pragya..

Aliya- Thank u so much mam..I love u so much..

pragya- I dont want ur thanks, instead I want my Aliya to go to her home today and be with her family and make her family happy..and I'm always there for my little sister Aliya, whenever she needs me..u can very well call me as di if we are alone..ok baby..

Aliya smiles..

Aliya- Can u come to my home along with me..my family will be so happy to see u..

pragya- I also wish to come..but I'm held up with work dear..I will come on some other day..

Aliya hugs her tightly and goes from there..

Aliya came to her home..

Abhi, Vin and Ram are sitting sadly in the hall..they are shocked to the core to see Aliya there..Aliya never stay in the home on her birthday as she feels it increases her guilt..they have no words to see her there..their eyes automatically well up in tears..

Aliya-papa, vin bhai, Abhi bhai...I'm so sorry..she cries..

They couldn't control..Vin and Abhi rush to her and hug her tightly..while Ram looks at them with tear filled eyes..

Aliya- I understand to what extent I would have hurted u all..I should have been strong and should tried my best to fill the gap of our mom..but rather, I was deeply broken and made u all to worry for me..I haven't allowed u people to wish me too..but now I promise..I will accept whatever u people do for me..I will make my mom happy by living a happy life..she then move towards her mom's photo..

Aliya- Ma, U will see a different Aliya from today on wards..I promise u, I will always be happy and make others happy..I wont live with this guilt further as I have got my mom back in her..

Ram, Vin and Abhi stand still hearing he words..

Abhi- Aliya..he calls in an emotional tone...

Aliya- Bhai..I can understand all ur confusions..I will explain what happened..

Aliya explained everything to them..

Ram- May I get the privilege of meeting her Aliya..

Aliya- Sure papa..she is the one who gave new life to me..

Aliya hugs them and accepts their birthday wishes..Abhi and Vin takes Aliya to a secret room, where they have hidden many gifts..

Aliya- These many gifts..Aliya opened her jaws wide on seeing the entire room filled with gifts..

Abhi- Every year me and Vin bhai, used to  buy gift for ur birthday with the hope that u would celebrate that birthday..

Vin- But we couldnt give it to u..

Aliyas eyes well up in tears..Abhi and Vin wipe her tears..Aliya opens all the gifts one by one and squeals like a small kid on seeing the gifts..

Abhi, Vin and Ram feel extremely happy..

Abhi's mind voice- I must meet the person..I must thank her for giving a change to Aliya..

Abh'is respect on pragya increased without knowing that she is the one whom he hated the most..

The next day..

Vin, Abhi and Ram decided to go with Aliya to thank her professor for giving a new change to Aliya..

But unfortunately Vin and Abhi had to go their office as they had important meeting..Ram alone accompanied Aliya..

Aliya introduces Ram to pragya..pragya takes his blessings..Ram instantly liked pragya..

Ram- Beta..I really have no words to express my happiness now..u have brought a change in my daughter..I don't know what I could do in return to u..

pragya- Uncle ji..what is this..Don't get emotional..Aliya is like my little sister..

Ram thanks her through his eyes..pragya nods with a smile..

Ram- Ur parents are so gifted to get u as daughter..I wish I could meet ur parents once and thank them for rising up such a good soul..

pragya- U r most welcome uncle ji..

Ram thanks her wholeheartedly and gives her a gift..

pragya- Uncle ji..why this gift..

Ram- pls accept this for my sake dear..

pragya couldn't refuse..when she opened she was shocked to see a jewel box..when she opened she found a diamond necklace in it

pragya- Uncle ji..Why this much costly gift for me..

Ram- Beta..I cannot say the worth of this gift..because it is the favorite jewel of Aliya's mom..she treasured it like anything because it was the traditional family jewel..I preserved it more than anything..

pragya- Uncle ji..Im I worth to get this gift..she asked with tear filled eyes

Ram- Beta, if not u then whom..u have become a mother to my Aliya..we cannot say how much happy we are because of u...please take it..he said in an emotional tone..

pragya couldn't refuse more..she gently takes it from him with emotional eyes..

Ram thanks and bids bye to her and leaves..

pragya stands their with emotional eyes..

On the other hand, Abhi is continuously thinking about the professor who helped Aliya..he started to develop some feelings for her unknowingly..

Stay tuned for next update..
