Next morning

M. K°. L mansion

Rhea woke up and balloons fell on her. All the family members and I mean all of them were singing her happy birthday.
Abhi: Happy birthday Princess
Rhea: thank you dad
Abhi: is there anything you want
Rhea: *the only thing I want is for that middle class girl Prachi and her siblings to learn to their lesson and not mess with the Mehras and Luthras*
Abhi: Rhea
Rhea: y-yes dad
Abhi: I was asking if there is anything you want
Rhea: all I want is for our families to always stay like this, happy and united
There were some 'awws' from the ladies and Abhi just hugged his daughter. Everyone wished her a happy birthday and moved out they went downstairs and left Rhea to freshen up

At the huge dining table.
Rhea went downstairs and she was on a video call with Alia
Rhea: are you sure you can't be here aunt
Alia: sweet heart, I want to be there really but I'm just too busy, one more month and I will be back I promise and I will give you the best gift just tell me what you want
Rhea: what I want is for you to be here with me Aunt
Alia: Rhea darling please understand that it is not possible
Rhea: fine
She said with a sad smile
Alia: I promise I will be there in on month, then we will go shopping and spend the day like your second birthday now smile for me, smile
Rhea smiled
Alia: now there's the happy Rhea I know and love bye sweetie, happy birthday
Rhea: love you too
End of call
Rhea got to the table got down and started drinking her orange juice
Shaurya: any plans for the special day
Rhea: well first we will go shopping while the house is being decorated and then we will get ready for the party tonight
Kareena: sounds great, Rishab dear get the cars ready
Rishab: sure aunt
He excused himself and went outside, while scrolling  through his phone and he came across a picture of  him and Alia in the office with Alia in Rishab in Rishab 's arms bridal style. Sameer had taken the picture. He remembers the day very well

Flashback
Alia was sent to the office by Abhi to get a file in the storeroom. The file was too high up and she couldn't reach so she decided to climb an old chair, Rishab  was just passing by when he saw her and the chair she was standing on 's other leg was on the verge of snapping.
Rishab: Alia get down from there
Alia: I just need to get this file
Rishab: Alia I said get down
Alia:  I'm not a child you know
Rishab: you will fall and not be able to get the file
Alia: I won't fall and I will get the file
Rishab: Alia
In a warning tone
Alia: besides even if I fall why would you care
Rishab just looked away
Alia: exactly just let me be and get the file
Rishab: fine I'd like to see you try
Alia was trying to get the file that she even went on her tip toes, she was able to get the file then the chair snapped and she fell. She closed her eyes ready to meet the ground but felt arms on her. Rishab just stared at her in aww with the way she was closing her eyes tight and holding the file
Rishab: you can open your eyes now, you're safe
Alia just opened her eyes
Rishab: I told you, you would fall but you didn't listen as always why do you always have to be so stubborn, one day your stubbornness will get you in serious trouble and I won't always be there to save you
Alia: I still got the file didn't I besides I'm a grown woman, I can take care of myself
Rishab: sure like you did right now
Alia: it was the chair 's fault not mine
Rishab: the chair would have not snapped if you had listened to me,
Alia: why do you even care what happens to me, even If I die how does that matter to you
Rishab stayed silent
Alia: yet again the great Rishab Luthra fails to answer a simple question, so please come save me next time when you have a reason to, please let me down
He just did and she left

End of flashback
He sadly smiled. Who knew the Rockstar turned Business man 's spoiled bratty sister would stop being obsessed with her brother's best friend and actually fall in love with the Luthra family 's older responsible noble and caring man. Opposite attracts I guess.

Meanwhile at Aurora House
They sang for Prachi and she got a video call from Pragya and the rest of the family members which was very emotional.
Shahana: Prachi did you tell Mr Kohli that you're not coming to work today
Prachi: oh yeah, sorry I forgot, let me just call him
On call
Prachi: good morning Sir
Vikram: good morning Prachi
Prachi: sir I was just asking if I could take a day off today
Vikram: why? Anything wrong
Prachi: no actually today is my birthday so Shahana and the others wanted to spend the day with me that's why
Vikram: oh really, happy birthday, you  know today is also Rhea's birthday and yes you can take the day off
Prachi: thank you sir and tell her I said happy birthday
Vikram: ok dear
End of call
At Vikram's side
Pallavi: who was that
Vikram: it was Prachi,  she was  asking for a day off
Pallavi: ok, any problem
Vikram: It's her birthday today
Pallavi: wow that's lovely,
Rhea: * so today is that Prachi's birthday that gives me a plan, I just need to get her here then my birthday will be a success*
Rhea: dad why don't we invite Prachi and her siblings here and she and I will celebrate our birthdays together, won't that be wonderful
Disha: that's a great idea
Abhi: sure
Shaurya and Kunj: *what is she up to*
At Prachi's side
They had so much fine, first they went to the amusement park, they had so much fun and they even went shopping. At the mall, Rajveer put ice cream all over Prachi and put a cherry on top, Adi took a picture of that. Then Prachi hugged all of them putting ice cream on each of them and they clicked a selfie of Twinkle and Shahana kissing each of Prachi's cheeks and Rajveer and Aditya hugging the girls from both sides.  Then they sang for her again. Just then Prachi received a call from Abhi
Prachi: yes Mr Mehra
Abhi: Prachi! Happy birthday my dear
Prachi: thank you sir
Abhi: actually, Rhea wanted to invite you to her birthday and combine the two birthdays
Prachi: no sir it's okay
Abhi: please come it would make her really happy and to me her happiness is all that matters
Prachi: sir today is also my birthday and my happiness also matters plus my siblings and I had already something for tonight
Abhi: please Prachi, I can pay you whatever amount you want
Prachi: I don't want any money
Abhi: actually Prachi, you coming would make everyone happy not only Rhea everyone wants you here as they have grew fond of you, even your siblings can can come, please may you please come and fulfill this small request of ours, please
Prachi after a lot of thinking
Prachi: fine, we will be there in 20 minutes
Abhi: thank you dear, bye
Prachi: bye
End of call
Rajveer: who was that
Prachi: Mr Mehra, he was asking if we could come to Rhea's birthday party since it would make her and I  quote "happy".
Aditya: I have a feeling that she is going to do something
Twinkle: and you said yes
Prachi nodded
Shahana: yay, some drama on your birthday
