She is amazed by what’s playing on the screen. All others are also shocked. The slides start from the first day of her college – when she meets Aahana, again, when she became closer to her. That’s not enough, the voice accompanying the video slides is of Aahana. Every single ninja is able to identify her voice. At all, she was the life to ninjas. Her presence makes a difference to every. Her single smile is enough to refresh the spoiled mood.
It’s hard to fight out how she appeared with such a surprise when once she leaves without any notice. Now, when everyone is trying to move forward. How can she appear like that again, all that on Aksha's birthday? There are no nay answers for these questions but yes now it’s clear that the planner, the mastermind behind the Reunion is the Aahana.
Aksha stood like a statue in front of the screen. Her eyes are leaking like a river, her hands are making a strong grip with Aarush's hand. It may be hurting him, but he understands the pain of her. He is trying to support her at his best. But it seems like all in vain, the things which are Aksha avoiding from the last five years is revealed now. She wants Ahana’s comeback but surely not when she decided to move on. This time she realizes that “ Every moment in which we think that it’s happiest one are not always happier.
Anu looks at the Dev. She realizes that Aksha is not the only one who is in pain. Dev is also in the same condition. Maybe he suffered more, but he never let that to express anyone.
Once he was in love with Aahana. He writes a later for her, he wants to deliver to her on Akrush marriage. He tried to share her feelings with her, but before that, she left everyone. He acts like he doesn’t care but deep of the heart he still loves her. He thinks that no one knows about his love for Aahana, not even Anu. But he is not right. Anu reads his letter for Aahana, which is kept in his cupboard, in a secret box.
Maher, Rishi, Roy, and Manan look delighted. Manan is at cloud nine. Finally, ninja 9 is complete, again.
The video is finished. The light turns on. Ahana comes in front of everyone. She is hiding behind the pillow.
She was not accepting her warm welcome. Unfortunately, her assumption is right. Maher wants to run towards her and hug her so tightly, but Rishi interrupted her and point towards Aaksha. She realized that it’s not the right time to welcome her. It may hurt Aksha. She doesn’t want to hurt her on her birthday. Dev already left the house so, Anu also did.
Aksha's heart wants to give her a tight hug, she wants to talk to her whole night. She wants to scold her to leave her when she needs her most. But her mind forced her not to say a single word to her. She was forced to keep her in guilt. And this time the battle between her heart and mind is won by her mind. And, she left.
“Ashu…., wait…. Ashu”, Aarush follows her.
Maher, Manan, and Rishi also follow them.
Aahana – very confident and very strong – feels like broken. She can’t tolerate ignorance. She burst out in tears, “ please…. Don’t so that. Try to understand me. I don’t have any choice, otherwise, I will never fade away like that. I already suffered a lot. I miss you all. Don’t let me suffer more. Don’t let me suffer your ignorance. If you want to scold me. Scold. If you want to beat me. Beat. Do whatever you want to do. But please for God shake talk to me at least. I need you all. I need your support. I need you Aksha.”, she is on her knees.her face is glumped in her hands, and her eyes floating like a river.
Roy can’t see her like that. He knows the pain she goes through.
“Heey bro.., Aahana needs your help. Please come soon dear”, Roy called Nikhil.
“I will be there in five minutes. Don’t worry. Take care of her till that”, He replied.
Roy helps Aahan to seat comfortably. “ very. Don’t worry. Keep calm. Be strong. Stop crying. Take a deep breath. Everything will be alright buddy. You know that your journey is not easy. How can you lose hope at the very first step f? You are the strongest girl. Don’t lose hope. Try to be happy. Stress is not God for your health. Right?”, he tries to console her.
“Thanks to understanding me”, Ahana said.
“everything is alright?”, Nikhil enters the house. He throws his bag on the bed and goes straight to her.
Roy left instantly when Nikhil reached to her., “ Take care of you dear.”
“Babs, why are you behaving like a child? I agreed to your wish only on one condition and that’s is no compromise with your health. You still have not recovered completely. Symptoms can reappear anytime if you do not take care of your self. You can’t be so careless. You can’t risk your life. I don’t let my patient do that”, Nikhil said. He makes her comfortable bad. He takes out a pill from his pocket and gives it to her with a glass of water.
“I think you should rest her tonight. Tomorrow we will leave for London. I don’t want to take any risk.”, Nikhil continues.
“ I am quite ok….”
“ No, you are not fine. Do you get that?”
“ I need to talk to Aksha”,
“Don’t be stupid. You know it’s stressful for you.”,
“I know! But clarification is needed now”,
“ But not at your life's cost”,
“But…..”,
“Stop it now. We can discuss it tomorrow also. Now, take a rest. It’s needed. I am here only. Let me know if you need anything.”
