Previous Episode

She sank back into her seat and leaned toward Aakanksha, who was still savoring her last spoon of ice cream.

"Yaar, ye pink shirt wala banda kitna hot hai. Mujhe ye chahiye." Daisy pointed discreetly.

"Dilwa de, yaar." 😩 She said it like he was something off a shelf.

"Kaun?" Akanksha followed her finger, still licking her spoon.

Then her eyes landed on him.

"Ye...?" Shock hit her face. 🤯 "Ye... yahan??"

Episode Continued ••

Daisy - Tu janti hai ise?

Aakanksha - She placed the spoon down on the table with a soft clink and stood up slowly. Realization hit her eyes.
Ohh! To vo important cheez... ye party hai! Jiske liye ise vo white orchids chahiye the.

Daisy - Mtlb..?
She tilted her head, confusion written all over her face.

Aakanksha - Before she could explain, a warm, familiar voice cut through the noise behind them.

__" Baccho"... Yha aaiye
The call was gentle but commanding.

They both turned and followed the voice. As they rounded the corner, relief washed over their faces , a familiar presence waiting for them.

Aakanksha & Daisy - Namaste, Kabir uncle!

Kabir uncle - Aa gyi dono betiyan..!
His eyes softened as he looked at them, arms opening slightly.

Right then, Aparna and Aarav appeared from behind, walking in together.

Aparna & Aarav - Ye to kaafi der se aayi hui hain dono, bhaisahab... bas aap hi abhi mile hain inhe!

Rivansh & Riddhi joined them too, stepping in sync with the group.

Aakanksha and Daisy moved to stand beside their fathers, each slipping into a side hug. Comfort settled over them instantly.

Kabir - Dono betiyon ne dinner kiya na, ache se party enjoy ki?

(His gaze scanned their faces, checking for any sign of discomfort.)

Aakanksha - Ji Kabir uncle, humne dinner kar liya, aur party bhi enjoy ki.
She nodded,

Kabir - Iska mtlb Yash ne aap logo ko ache se assist kiya hai..?

Daisy - Yash..?
Her brows pulled together, confusion flashing again.

Kabir - Kya mtlb tum Yash se mile nahi? Vo to yahi aaya tha food court mein aap logon se milne.

Aparna- Hmm, usne pucha tha to humne use bheja to yahi tha.

Kabir - Yahi khi hoga ... Charo taraf apni nazre ghumata h food court m , tabhi vo kisi ko dekhr aawaj lgata h jo ki waiter ko kuch instructions de rha tha

"Yash Raizada"

Daisy aur Aakanksha dono kabir ki nazre aur vo jise dekhr aawaj lga rhe the use follow krne lgte h tabhi jaise hi un dono ki nazre us par jati h vase hi..

Both shocked like hell 🤯

Aakanksha to fir bhi itni shocked nhi hoti ,lekin Daisy k to mano pairo tale jameen hi khisak jati h

Daisy - (mn me) - k..kya.. m jiske bare m baat kr rhi thi vo ye tha..jise m hot item kh rhi thi?..ye ..ye..yash h.. !😖 m kaise isse..nhi 😣

Yash jo apne papa ki aawaz sunkr unke pass aata h , jiski nazar sirf abhi apne papa (kabir) pr hi thi

Yash - Ji Dad..

Kabir - kya aap apne classmates ko bhool gye h ?

Yash - (jise kuch samaj nhi aata aur vo apne papa ko confuse hokar dekhta hi rehta h ki ye kya khe rhe h ). Ji Dad..?

Kabir - Ha aap bhul hi gye h tabhi to apke dost aapse milne aaye , aur aap abhi tk unse mile bhi nhi..?

Yash - Dad aap kiske bare m baat kr rhe h ? M samajha nhi ..

Kabir - ab samaj jaoge. Kabir ye bolte hue side ho jata h jisse piche khade hue aakanksha aur Daisy jo ki apne apne papa k sath toda alag alag hi khade the ab yash ko dikh jate h ...

Yash pehle normally ek Nazar sb pr ghumata h jaise uske papa kisi normal party guest se hi milwa rhe ho , lekin jb vo dhyan se dhekta h to use aarav Aparna , riddhi aur rivansh pr familiar nazar jati h aur isse pehle vo acche se kisi aur ko dekhta ..tabhi

Kabir - Aakanksha aur Daisy, dono bacchiyan kabse aapke baare mein puch rahi hain.

Daisy - (mn mein) Humne kab pucha? 😧 Her brows shot up, confusion flashing across her face for half a second before she schooled her expression.

Aakanksha - (mn m) Yash kitna badal gaya hai... Her gaze lingered on him, searching. There was a faint ache in her eyes, like she was trying to match this new Yash with the one she remembered.

Yash heard Kabir and immediately dropped his gaze to the floor. Slowly, it lifted, first to Daisy, then shifted and froze on Aakanksha. The moment their eyes met, his breath hitched. His whole body stilled. Because those blurry memories from 2 hours ago at the flower shop, the ones he'd tried to bury, slammed into his mind crystal clear now.

Yash - (mn mein )🤯 Ye... ye to wahi ladki hai jisse m flower shop par mila ... 😣😓... "Those flowers... I took them from her? Was it her?? ... Shitt..😣, what did I...I didn't even.. "

[Panic flickered in his eyes. His fingers curled slightly at his sides, guilt washing over his face]

Rivansh - Chlo aap bacho aapas mein milo, hum bhi dinner kar lete hain itne mein.

He smiled, completely oblivious to the tension crackling in the air.

Kabir, Aarav - Hmm.

Riddhi & Aparna - Hmm... chalte hain.
They exchanged a look and stepped back, giving space.

|Now the scene froze. Aakanksha and Daisy stood shocked in front of Yash, and Yash stood there avoiding eye contact. An awkward silence stretched between the three - thick, heavy, and loud in its own way. Then

A waiter approached Yash, holding out a bouquet.

Waiter - Sir, ye rahe aapke white orchids. (His voice cut through the silence like a pin drop)

Yash hesitated, then took the bouquet with stiff fingers. His palm felt sweaty against the wrapping. He finally forced himself to meet Aakanksha's eyes.

Yash - (mn me)(isse bhi bouquet abhi lekar aana tha) Hehe... 😅 Hi, I am Yash... your classmate... remember? (mn mein) Wtf, main ye kya bol raha hu... ye mujhe jaanti to hai hi.

His smile was shaky, cheeks warming with embarrassment. He held out the bouquet, arm slightly trembling.

Aakanksha - She took a slow step closer to him, eyes sharp like she was studying a criminal. Her tone went cold, but her lips curved in a teasing smirk.
Mujhe nahi pata tha London jaakar log chor ban jaate hain? Kya waha iska bhi course hota hai..

She raised a brow, letting the words sting just enough.

Yash - Vo... 🙁 "..."
His mouth opened, but no sound came out. Guilt and panic fought on his face.

For a second their eyes locked again. Yash was about to say something, but the tension snapped and both of them burst into laughter at the same time. The awkwardness cracked. Their expressions softened, shoulders dropping.

Aakanksha- To isliye tumne mujhse ye flower liye the? Mujhe hi wapas dene ke liye?

She crossed her arms, but amusement danced in her eyes.

Yash - (Embarrassed, he rubbed the back of his neck.) Aisa nahi... vo main late ho raha tha yaha aane ke liye... isliye.
The excuse sounded weak even to him.

Aakanksha - Uncle to keh rahe the ki tum business ki padhai kar rahe ho... uncle ko bata do story making mein bhi tum mahir ho..

She couldn't hold back the chuckle that slipped out.

Yash - 🙁... yrr.. 😓 Ab bas, bhi karo... sorry, vo mujhe pata nahi tha ki vo tum thi... Aakanksha.
His voice dropped at her name, sincere now.

Aakanksha - She chuckled, then giggled softly. Waise kaafi badal gaye ho tum, bilkul pehchaan mein hi nahi aa rahe.Aur m to tumhe shop pr pechan hi nhi paayi..

Yash - Hmm... badli to tum bhi ho.
He said it under his breath, eyes flicking over her face before he looked away.

Yash- Ye lo, jiske liye ye bouquet laaya tha. (He held it out again, arm steady this time.)

Aakanksha's brows shot up - mtlb jisse liya tha use hi wapas?

Aakanksha & Yash - Both chuckled, the sound breaking the last bit of tension between them.

Aakanksha - She took the bouquet in her hands, fingers brushing the petals. Then her gaze shifted sideways, landing on Daisy who'd been standing there quietly.

Aakanksha - She studied Daisy's face, then caught the matching confusion in both their expressions.
Without missing a beat, she grabbed Daisy's hand and pulled her forward.

Ab ye mat kehna ki tum ise nahi jaante.
Ofc, dono bestfriend jo the.
She teased, eyes glinting.

Daisy & Yash- Both gave her a weird, bewildered look.

Aakanksha - She chuckled at their faces, a memory flashing , the way they used to fight like cat and mouse as kids.

Yash - Hi... Daisy.
He extended his hand forward, voice careful.

Daisy - Without changing her expression, she replied flatly.
Hi. Formally.

Yash- You changed.

Daisy - Hmm... tum bhi. (mn mein) Mote se patle ho gaye 🙄

Yash- For 2-3 seconds they just stared at each other, hands still clasped in a stiff handshake, exchanging nothing but weird looks.

• Yash pov - kya Ye vahi hai DJ?... kitni badi bully thi ye bachpan mein. Muje humesa kitna presan krti thi. Pata nahi itne ache Aakanksha jaise log iske ab tak dost kaise hain... kaise jhelte hain ise. Lekin kya pta ab ye badal gyi ho?

• Daisy pov - Ye Yash kitna badal gaya hai. Kya ye sab bachpan ki baatein bhool gaya hai? Vo ladai, jhagde... kya ye acha ban gaya hai, jaise Aakanksha ke saath rehta tha?

Tabhi Aparna (Aakanksha's mom) ka phone aata h jisse Aakansha ka phone ring krne lgta h jo Daisy k hath m tha , jise sunte hi vo dono apne sense m aa jate h or apna hath (handshake se) ek dusre se hta lete h
