Its been six years when Babita's life had taken a drastic change and there was no looking back from then. Mini graduated from her college and also took up vocational course on photography with her mother's full support and her hanuman uncle pushing her to follow her dreams. They started from a small catering business to this large corporate catering centre with now more housewives joining them and supporting their business along. They had formed a eatery chain and quite popular one in whole Patiala and they were now thinking of opening more branches as there were offers coming from other cities as well.Babita's journey into this business world was not that easy though ,there were rough rides in between but it all went through with support of people around and her own high spirit and never say die attitude. Mini had seen her mother grow into this successful entrepreneur from a timid shy housewife. She was ecstatic as always and more so as today was the day when Mihir's parents were coming tomeet them. Mihir was her mentor in photography classes. Though unlike Bobby and Mickey, Mihir never proposed or tried to impress her. They still bonded over same passion and life purposes. Yes finally Mini had found someone who defined true love in her life. The journey of this love was more beautiful and dreamy than Mini had ever dreamt of.
Everyone in the house was screaming and panicking. Mini's lala uncle had many gifts in hand and roaming on directions of Babita while Naem Bi had taken out prettiest dresses from her wardrobe for Mini even though when she could have bought most expensive dresses ,she still preferred borrowing from NaemBi's secret wardrobe of yesteryear designs. Hanuman was overlooking the arrangement as there was evident tension on his face. Babita had prepared lot of recipes for the guests asking hanuman to taste as he ran from here and there just making sure that all will go well.
Boy arrived with his parents soon. Babita and Hanuman greeted them and they managed to make the day for Mini as memorable as she could imagine. She was so happy seeing everything going so well.
Date was decided and marriage was just around the corner. There were so many things to do and Babita was already tensed how will it all go. She was awake that night just before the wedding. Hanuman as always could sense her worried face by a mere look on it as he sat alongside her , both watching the door of that haveli sitting on staircase. Babita was somehow comforted by his presence always and tonight she needed him perhaps the most. It was her daughter’s wedding, her minnie’s wedding. She had mixed emotions inside, so many thoughts coming to her mind. With him she never needed any words as hegently gave her his handkerchief, she cried like a baby. She was going to miss her baby but she was happy that Minnie had finally found love and such goodfamily. Minnie was self-dependent and confident girl , Babita shared with Hanuman how proud she is of Minnie and how she wished Minnie lives her dream and reaches new height of success. Her Minnie had found true love which Babita didn’t as she mentioned that Hanuman’s eyes teared up a bit. How he wished she could read his mind and his heart. He wanted to fill that void in Babita’s life but fear of losing her even as a friend stopped him many times. Her friendship was his lifeline and Minnie was his life.
He shared emotions of missing Minnie in the house. Hanuman recalled his moments with her and felt heavy in heart. Babita sensed his voice choked up ashe praised his veer balika. Their relation was very special for Babita. She knew what Minnie was for Hanuman and what Hanuman was for Minnie. She held his hand as he felt weak hiding his tears for his Minnie..
Soon there was a knock on the door and doorbell too rang. Minnie too wokeu p with noise as Hanuman opened the door. To his surprise it was Ashok Khurana on the door..
