Third person POV

Vivan entered his house full of anger. How come that b*tch speak today? How dare she raise her voice. Yes the deal was done and yes she owned most of the company but nobody ... nobody ever talks to Vivaan like that, he thought.

He tried to calm down his anger and walked towards his mother who was in the kitchen cooking.
"Look who is here , my son Vivaan is finally home" she adored him with smiles and pampering.

" mom I'm not a kid anymore , so please no more pampering " he whined.

" You will always be a kid to me beta." She said with her eyes shining with tears.

One look at her and he was already melting in his heart. He loved his mother more than anything. But he better not let her see that he got emotional.

"Mom pls no more crying" he said in a clipped yet calm voice. Even after trying super hard, he bent and kissed her forehead making her smile.

He went towards his room to get ready for an evening party. But just like last few weeks, he couldn't get his mind off of her, off Misha.
One part of him hated himself for being so rude to her, for betraying her , for emotionally and physically assaulting her. But his other part felt that he had done right. Unfortunately for Misha, his second part dominated the first.

Misha POV

It's been a month now, a month since he and I .. we...
no no, I am not going to think about it.

Suddenly I felt the weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and ... I ran towards the nearest washroom.

"Oho! Misha beta. You never eat properly and sometimes you also have those dishes from food trucks. I am sure unhealthy eating has caused food poisoning." Chachi looked worriedly at me when I came down for breakfast.

"No chachi, it's just nothing. I took some medicine, I will be fine. Don't worry... okay?" I try to calm her nerves, she worries too much.

After having breakfast I left for the office. There was a lot of work to be done and I even skipped lunch unknowingly.
Around 5 we all were still left with points to argue for a major deal so we all decided to stay longer.

Mridula came into the conference room. "Ma'am please east something , you haven't had anything except two cups of coffee." She had some food placed in a tray which she kept next to me.

Looking at the food I realized how hungry I was . After having. Having some bites I felt uneasy, maybe not having anything since morning caused some stomach problems. So to prevent more problems I had food but only a little.

When I reached home, the house was lit with lights from the outside. Do we have a celebration or party or something today ? I thought.

I entered the house, nobody was in the mail hall or living room.
All the cooks in the kitchen were preparing different dishes. The table was setup in a buffet style.

I definitely forgot that we had a lohri party today. Oh no. I hit my hand on my forehead and ran towards my room to get ready.

When I will entered , I saw that my dear chutki sister Priya had taken over the room. All the dresses with jewellery were on the bed. She was standing in front of the mirror getting ready.

"Di finally you are here...." she said and turned. She looked so cute.

"Aww my baby sister... you look shoo cutie pie" I pulled her cheeks and kissed them.

"Ok di.... can we plz quit this and get ready . Such less time ... and oh no look at you! All dressed up in office clothes. " she then went to my bed and picked up a dress.  "Here Wear this" she handed to me.

"No not this one... it's more western than Indian Priya ! I want to wear something indian. Specially because it is Lohri." I tried o reason with her.

Third person POV

All the family members were down in the hall greeting their guests.
"Oho everyone is here but where is Misha.." grandmom got worried.

"Namaste aunty ji" she heard a lady and when she turned .. the lady was at her feet taking blessings. The voice sounded familiar but Mrs. Sachdeva(grandmom of Misha) couldn't see her face.

"Blessings beta" grandmom said. But when the lady got up, it was Pooja Vadhera.

Grandmom got surprised.
"Pooja, tum yahaaan?"

"Aunty ji who..." she started to reply but was cut off.

"Mummy ji! I have called the Vadhera's here. " Sakshi came forward. (Misha's chachi)

"Mummy ji and pooja. I really want all of us to forget the business rivalry between the sachdevs and the Vadhera's. Please, today is lohri so let's enjoy this festival together." Sakshi chachi went and hugged pooja.

"God bless you both, I also feel that's Sakshi so right, pooja beta where is everybody else?" Grandmom questioned pooja Vadhera.

Mr. and Mrs. Vadhera ( Vivaans grandparents) came forward and greeted everyone. Soon they left with Mishas grandparents.

"Come Akshi.." pooja called her daughter forward.

"Yeh Akshi and this here is Akshay her husband." Pooja introduced them to everyone very proudly.

Mahesh Sachdev(Mishas Chachu) came forward and blessed them. "Beta, sorry we couldn't come to your wedding two years ago, but I promise from now on we will celebrate every festival with you both" he was almost in tears.

Aarti and subhash Patel (Misha's bua and uncle) and also came and greeted the entire Vadhera family.

"Where is Dharmendra?(Vivaans father)" everyone asked.

"Here, " they heard him. He was at the main entrance. (In his wheelchair)

"Bhai sahab. " Mahesh came forward and bent to hug Dharmendra.

Due to an accident a few years ago, Dharmendra Vadhera got paralyzed to a wheelchair. He also lost most of his speech. He could only say few small phrases and there.

"It's so good seeing after so long." Mahesh and Dharmendra both got emotional. Misha's dad and Dharmendra used to be best friends.

Everyone was so happy seeing each other, all were trying to forget their differences and barriers that were created by Vivaan.
Soon Vivaan entered and he got the shock of his life. His mom had somehow convinced him to come to a party but he hadn't known that it was at the Sachdev's house.

He completely ignored everyone but when his mom signaled him, he came and bent to take blessings from the Sachdev elders. None of them wanted to be disrespectful so they blessed him but in their hearts, they knew that he was the cause of all the problems between the Sachdev's and Vadhera's.

Soon all the kids (Avi Priya Adi and Akhil) came to meet everyone.

Avi saw Vivaan but didn't say anything. According to Avinash, Vivaan was not the same guy he was 4 years ago, their fight 4 years back never lets Avi forget that Vivaan had completely changed. He completely ignored his ex friend and left without even saying a word.

"Aarti and Sakshi, hamari Misha bitiya (daughter) kahaan hai?"Pooja asked them.

"I think she is getting ready." Aarti replied.

"Look there is di.... coming down the stairs" Priya pointed out towards the stairs.
They all turned their heads and saw the most beautiful girl of the night coming down the stairs like an angel from heaven. She was dressed in ethnic clothes and looked flawless.

"The last time I saw her, she was just 16 but now she is so grown up" Akshi commented, admiring the innocent and beautiful girl walking down the stairs.

Misha saw the entire family and then she saw pooja aunty. She was as surprised as to what the Vadhera's were doing here. Even the devil was here but as soon as he saw her , he turned and left.

Sakshi chachi introduced her to the Vadhera family. She was shocked to see Dharmendra uncle on a wheel chair but decided not to ask yet.

She realized soon enough that none of them were like the devil. She was meeting almost everyone afetwe 7 long years, she last saw them when she was 16. His mother was the sweetest being ever, his sister was so calm and sweet.

 Akshay went with the boys Adi and Akhil to hang out, leaving Akshi with the girls.

Soon Priya , Misha and Akshi found a nice bonding and started having fun.
