"Jiji is alive?" Gauri asked, "Really? You saw her?"

"Yes Gauri ma'am. I took a video too." Khanna replied and showed the family a clip of Annika leaving the mandir and getting into an auto.

"Jiji.." Gauri cried, "Omkaraji...my Jiji is alive."

"Where was she all these years? I looked all over the city for her." Bhavya asked.

"Shivaay, why didnt you bring Bhabhi home?" Omkara asked Shivaay.

"Haan Shivaay, you should have brought my daughter-in-law with you." Pinky added.

"And Saahil? He was with Jiji right? So that means he must be ok as well."

"Annika hates me." Shivaay said and then left the room. Om & Rudra followed him to the pool area.

"Bhaiyya..."

"She will never forgive me. Its all my fault, if I had just trusted her then..."

"I dont know what to say Shivaay. I mean, yeah it is your fault and it makes sense that Bhabhi is angy but I know that she cant hate you."

"Haan bhaiyya, she is just really angry...so we have to convince her. Lets do one thing, we can tell Khanna to find out where Bhabhi is living and then the three of us will go and talk to her." Rudra said.

"For the first time in his life, Rudy said a smart thing." Om joked.

"Thank you........Heeyyy!"

"Guys what movie should we watch?" Sona asked. The youngsters were sitting in the theatre room deciding what to watch.

(I know Oberoi mansion doesn't have a room like this but just imagine...and pretend the ceiling is just plain white)

(Sitting order: Jai, Kabir, Dev & Ishaan on one side and then Meera, Sona, Pihu & Alia on other side)

"Lets wach DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenga)." Meera suggested.

"YES!" all the girls yelled.

"NO!" all the boys whined.

"Why?" Alia asked.

"Arre we have seen it sooo many times...now we have all the dialogues memorized." Jai replied.

"Haan and its so sappy & romantic." Kabir cringed. "I hate those type of movies."

"I love those types of movies." Meera said.

"So? All of us are watching not just you."

"Kabir Bhaiyya, Di isnt the only one who loves the movie all us girls do." Pihu spoke up.

"Well all us boys dont....so its a tie. Lets watch Brothers." Dev smirked.

"Yeah Akshay kumar for the win!" Kabir fist bumbed Dev.The girls looked at each other and nodded as if coming to a decision in their minds making the boys a bit nervous. Sona got up from where she was sitting with the girls walked to Jai and sat down beside him.

"Baby please...you know na that romantic movies are my favourite." Sona cutely pouted and looked at Jai.

"Dude....dont fall for it." Kabir warned.

"Haan bro, don't agree." Dev added.

"Bhai just control okay." Ishaan said. Getting up from their spots, Meera went to sit beside Kabir and put her hands over his mouth, Alia & Pihu did the same to Dev & Ishaan respectively.

"Hey!" Jai started to protest but Sona turned him towards her.

"Hmhmm." Kabir tried to speak.

"Baby...please? See, in this movies Raj does so much for Simran....and you cant watch a movie for me?" Sona frowned and pretended to look like she was about to cry. Confused Jai looked at the boys who were trying speak then at Sona who was wiping fake tears and then sighed.

"Okay...Okay...lets watch this movie." Jai agreed.

"YAYY!" The girls yelled.

"NO...Jai!" The boys finally managed to say as the girls let them go and high fived each other.

"Oh come on, its not that bad." Jai defended himself. Dev, Ishaan & Kabir glared at Jai.

"Ok...we can watch Brothers after this." Meera said as she felt bad. So they all started watching DDLJ, at the final train climax scene Meera turned to her side and saw Kabir in tears. Holding her laugh in she nudged Jai & motioned for the others to look. Seeing him cry, everyone started to laugh and Kabir quickly wiped his tears.

"Uhh.....something went in my eye."

"Kabir...that is literally the oldest excuse in the book." Meera laughed. Kabir started to glare at her but then slowly smiled as he admired her laugh.

"Did you seriously cry for this? We have seen it so many times. What are you, a girl?" Jai laughed.

"Hey!" The girls protested.

"Shut up." Kabir mumbled and looked away. They then put on Brothers and while watching everyone fell asleep there.

A few hours later Kabir woke up and felt a weight on his shoulder, looking to his right he saw Meera asleep on his shoulder with her arms wrapped around his arm. Looking at Dev he saw that he and Alia were also in a similar position while Jai was literally lying down on Sona's lap. Kabir brought his other hand to Meera's face and moved the hair that had fell infront. Startled, Meera woke up and moved away.

"Sorry." Meera whispered.

"Its okay..."

"That...was an awkward time to sleep. Now we wont be able to sleep the whole night"

"Well...we could go to a karaoke club....My friend owns one and even Pihu & Ishaan are allowed there...they just cant have any alcohol."

"Haan thats a good idea....you wake everyone up, I need to make a phone call.

****************************************

"Saahil....what happened to Di?" Neha asked her husband as he came out of Annika's room.

"She's okay." Saahil said.

"Saahil, you are defenitly hiding something from me...please tell me. Why did Di come back home crying?"

"I wish I could Neha...but until Di says, I cant. You will find out soon....very soon."

"But-"

Ring! Ring!

*Phonecall*

S: Hi Meeru.

M: How is Ma....how did the meeting go?

S (walking into another room so Neha doesnt hear): Exactly the way we figured it would....

M: Looks like Papa will have to put in alot of effort to convince Ma.

S: Yep...

M: Ok, dont forget I'm coming tomorrow.

S: Great, I gotta go now or else Neha will drive me crazy with her questions.

M (Laughs): Okay, bye Mama.
