A whole week passed. Kashi and Naina spend the whole week deciding the best rakhi for their brothers. Finally, the day for the Raksha Bandhan had arrived. The day when the sister would tie rakhi on the wrists of their brothers.

The morning of Raksha Bandhan arrived, and the palace buzzed with excitement. Kashi and Naina were up early, meticulously preparing the thalis with rakhis, sweets, and the traditional tika.

The air was filled with the aroma of freshly cooked delicacies as the women of the house bustled about, making sure everything was perfect. Kashi was dressed in a orange colored lehenga for the function.

Akshita came down in the hall. She saw Kashi and Naina taking care of the preparations. She became a little sad as she never had a brother. Bhairav came down and held her shoulder.

" Are you sad?" asked Bhairav, " No." said Akshita and then came down in the hall. Shivansh, Yuhan, Jai and Vedant came in the hall. " Ready for the rakhi?" asked Yuhan, " Yes Bhaiya, all set." Kashi replied while looking at him.

Dada Hukum looked at Bhairav, Shivansh and Yuhan. " You three sit down. Anita, Kashi and Naina have to tie the rakhi. And Naina, this time you have to tie the lumba rakhi to Kashi. " said Dada Hukum.

Naina nodded. Bhairav and Akshita sat down on the sofa. Anita picked the aarti plate. She lit the diya and then stood in front of them.

She did their aarti. After that she applied a tilak on their foreheads. After that she tied the rakhi on the wrist of Bhairav and then Akshita. " Now my gift?" asked Anita while moving her palm in front of Akshita and Bhairav.

They both smiled and then gave a bag to Anita. She opened it and smiled. " Thanks Bhai, Bhabhi." said Anita. It was a beautiful diamond bracelet. Now it was the time for Naina to tie the rakhi.

Kashi and Shivansh sat down. Naina did their aarti, applied the tilak and then tied the rakhi. Kashi picked a gift and gave it to Naina. " This is for you." said

Kashi handed the gift to Naina, a small, intricately wrapped box. Naina's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she carefully unwrapped it. Inside was a pair of delicate gold earrings, each adorned with a small ruby in the center. Naina's face lit up with joy as she looked at the gift, her eyes misting over with gratitude.

"Thank you, Bhabhi sa. They're beautiful." Naina said, her voice soft with emotion. Kashi smiled warmly. "You're like my sister, Naina. I wanted to give you something special to remember this day." she said.

Naina hugged Kashi tightly, and the two sisters shared a moment of silent understanding and love. Shivansh watched them, his heart swelling with pride. He knew how much Kashi valued relationships, and her bond with Naina was no exception.

After Naina had finished, it was time for Kashi to tie the rakhi to Yuhan. The room quieted down as Kashi approached Yuhan, holding the rakhi and the thali. Yuhan, who had been joking around just moments before, now sat quietly, his expression softening as Kashi knelt in front of him.

Kashi performed the ritual with great care, lighting the diya and doing the aarti with steady hands. She applied the tilak on Yuhan's forehead, her touch gentle and precise. Then, with a small smile, she tied the rakhi around his wrist, a symbol of the bond that had grown stronger over the years.

Yuhan looked at the rakhi on his wrist, his gaze lingering on it for a moment before he met Kashi's eyes. "You know, Kashi, every year you surprise me with how perfect you are at all of this," he said, his voice teasing yet affectionate.

Kashi chuckled softly. "And every year, you surprise me with how much you enjoy teasing me, Bhaiya." said Kashi. Yuhan grinned, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He handed it to Kashi, his expression turning serious.

"This is for you. I hope you like it." said Yuhan. Kashi opened the box and gasped softly. Inside was an exquisite diamond necklace, each stone catching the light in a dazzling display. It was a luxurious gift, far beyond what Kashi had expected.

"Yuhan, this is... too much." Kashi said, her voice trembling slightly with surprise. Yuhan shook his head. "Nothing is too much for my sister. You deserve all the happiness in the world, and I wanted to give you something that reflects that." he said.

Kashi felt her eyes welling up with tears, but she blinked them back, not wanting to cry in front of everyone. Instead, she smiled, her heart full of gratitude and love for her brother. "Thank you, Bhaiya. This means so much to me." said Kashi.

They hugged, and the family clapped, the warmth of the moment filling the room.

Next, it was Ritika's turn to tie the rakhi to Vedant. Ritika, with her usual grace and elegance, approached Vedant, who sat patiently, waiting for his sister to perform the ritual. Vedant, who had never had a sister before, looked at Ritika with a mix of curiosity and affection.

Ritika went through the motions of the ceremony with ease, applying the tilak and tying the rakhi with a smile. "You know, Kuver sa, you might not have grown up with a sister, but I'm happy to fill that role now." Ritika said softly, her voice full of sincerity.

Vedant smiled warmly. "And I'm glad to have you as my sister, Ritika. You've brought so much joy into our lives." said Vedant.

After Ritika finished, Vedant handed her a small, elegantly wrapped box. Ritika opened it to find a beautiful pair of emerald-studded earrings. Her eyes lit up, and she looked at Vedant with gratitude. "These are stunning, Kuver sa. Thank you so much." said Ritika.

Vedant nodded, pleased with her reaction. "I'm glad you like them. You deserve the best." said Vedant.

Meanwhile, Prisha was getting ready to tie the rakhi to Jai. Prisha, who had always seen Jai as more than just Shivansh's bodyguard, approached him with a gentle smile. Jai, who had never experienced Raksha Bandhan in this way, watched her with a mixture of respect and warmth.

Prisha carefully performed the ritual, tying the rakhi around Jai's wrist with delicate hands. "You've always been there for Shivansh, and by extension, for me too. Today, I want to acknowledge that bond and thank you for everything." Prisha said, her voice filled with emotion.

Jai looked at the rakhi on his wrist, his expression softening. "Thank you, Prisha. This means a lot to me. I never had a sister, but today, I feel like I do." said Jai. Prisha smiled, her heart full. "You do, Jai. You always will." said Prisha.

Jai handed Prisha a small box, and when she opened it, she found a simple yet elegant bracelet. It wasn't as extravagant as the other gifts, but it was meaningful, and Prisha appreciated it deeply.

Finally, it was Akshita's turn to tie the rakhi to Digvijay ji. Akshita, who had always seen Digvijay ji as a father figure, approached him with a mixture of reverence and affection. Digvijay ji, who had always treated Akshita like his own daughter, watched her with pride.

Akshita performed the ritual with great care, her hands steady as she tied the rakhi around Digvijay ji's wrist. "You've always been there for me, like a true brother. Today, I want to honor that bond." Akshita said, her voice filled with respect.

Digvijay ji smiled, his eyes misting over slightly. "And you've always been like a sister to me, Bhabhi ji. I'm grateful for this bond we share." said Digvijay ji.

After the rakhi was tied, Digvijay ji handed Akshita a small box. She opened it to find a beautiful pearl necklace. "This is for you, Bhabhi ji. A token of our bond." Digvijay ji said warmly.

Akshita smiled, deeply touched by the gesture. "Thank you, Digvijay ji. This means so much to me." said Akshita.

As the day continued, the family gathered together, enjoying the feast that had been prepared with love and care. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, teasing, and the warmth of family bonds that had only grown stronger with time.

The day ended with everyone exchanging stories, reminiscing about old times, and creating new memories. The bonds that had been celebrated that day were unbreakable, a testament to the love and respect each member of the family held for one another.
