Ep 7
The airport is bustling with travelers, but for Aarav, everything feels distant. His flight is in two hours, and emotions run high as he stands with his parents, Karan and Durga, and along with Rahul and Isha. Not to mention Aishwarya his other twin.
Karan Singhania (ML Father )
(Patting his back)So, my son is finally flying off. I knew this day would come, but I didn’t think it would feel this… strange.
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
(smirking)Baba, you always said I should dream big. Now you’re making it sound like I’m running away.😏
Durga Singhania(ML Mom)
(Teary-eyed) It feels like you are. You’ve never been away from us for so long. What if you don’t come back?
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
(softly)Maa… don’t say that. This isn’t goodbye forever. It’s just a new beginning.
Isha Mukherjee(FL Mom)
We’re all so proud of you, beta. You’ve worked so hard for this. But I must admit, I’ll miss seeing you and Aishwarya bickering like two kids.
Aishwarya Mukherjee (FL)
(rolling her eyes) Ugh, finally! Peace and quiet in my life. 🙄
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
(grinning) Who are you fooling? You’ll be the first one to text me every morning.
Aishwarya Mukherjee (FL)
(crossing arms) As if. I’ll be too busy enjoying the silence.
Everyone chuckles, but there’s an unspoken emotion between Aarav and Aishwarya. Their banter is their way of avoiding the truth—this moment is harder than either of them wants to admit
Karan Singhania (ML Father )
Aarav, remember, no matter where you go, family comes first. Success is great, but it’s meaningless if you don’t have people to share it with.
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
(nodding sincerely)I’ll never forget that, Baba. You’ve taught me well.
Durga Singhania(ML Mom)
(wiping her eyes) Just make sure you eat properly. And don’t skip meals just because you’re busy!
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
(laughing)Maa, I’ll send you pictures of every meal if that helps.
Isha Mukherjee(FL Mom)
And take some time to enjoy life too. Work will always be there, but moments like these? They don’t come back.
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
I promise, Mumma .
Aishwarya stays quiet, looking away. Aarav notices and nudges her lightly.
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
So, are you going to give me a dramatic farewell speech or what?
Aishwarya Mukherjee (FL)
(scoffing) You wish.
But her voice is softer than usual, and her eyes glisten with unshed tears
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
Aish…...
Aishwarya Mukherjee (FL)
(sighing, finally meeting his gaze) Just… don’t forget where you came from, okay? And don’t become one of those people who get so lost in their success that they forget their old life.
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
(smiling gently) I could never forget. Especially not you.
Aishwarya Mukherjee (FL)
(faking a sniffle)Wow, that almost sounded emotional. Should I record this moment?
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
(laughing)Go ahead. I know you’ll play it back just to hear my voice when you miss me.
Aishwarya Mukherjee (FL)
(smirking)Dream on.
The final boarding call echoes through the airport. Aarav swallows hard. This is it
Durga Singhania(ML Mom)
(voice shaking)It’s time, beta.
Karan Singhania (ML Father )
Take care, son.
Rahul Mukherjee (FL Dad)
We’ll be waiting for your call when you land.
Aishwarya Mukherjee (FL)
(softly, barely above a whisper) Go live your dream, Aarav. I’ll always be here.
Aarav’s throat tightens. He pulls them into a group hug, holding on just a little longer. Then, with a deep breath, he steps back, forcing a smile
Aarav Singhania(Ml)
I’ll see you all soon.
As he walks toward security, he glances back one last time. Aishwarya raises a hand in a silent wave—a promise. No matter where life takes him, home will always be waiting
