Family Dinner 3

Malhotra Mansion

Malhotra's were eagerly waiting for their guest soon turning into inlaws to come for dinner.Finally, all the Tiwari clan reached Malhotra mansion. Coming out of the car, Badimamiji greeted Nanaji, touching his feet.

Thank god you people also came on time, with this old ambassador I had doubted whether you all will join us or would just drop the plan, searching for the mechanic., laughing a little at the end while Naira was smirking...

Soon Bademamaji came to greet his father, who was busy parking the car...Before anybody could say anything, Suman asked how are you Bademamaji and how is your car doing...? Aman was saying it stopped in the middle of the road two days back... is it fine now..?

Yaa, it is fine, thank god Aman was there with the ambassador, or I would have stuck up.Hmm.... old is indeed a gold... she said while looking towards Badimamiji.Hearing this Badimamiji and naira were fuming but preferred keeping their mouth shut...Now, you people will just stand here and talk or will go inside as well...

Inside Malhotra Mansion...

Both the families were inside the hall, greeting each other warmly... Then Ramnath introduced Ranveer to everyone... seeing this, he felt a little sad.

I wish someday, papa would introduce me to everyone with this pride in his eyes, how weird is this, despite having a father I crave his affection and love while he, on the other hand, gets it before even asking for it.

With all the introduction and tales of Ranveer going on, he was roaming his head around to distract himself at least in thoughts, when his and Suman's sight crashed, this time they both acknowledged each other's presence, both had that friendly smile and warmness in eyes for each other and soon both reverted their eyesight looking down and again moving their head around scanning for some unknown thing in their sight. While Preeti, Aman, and Daboo were also doing the same sitting between the elders.

Soon, Nirmala came who had left earlier after greetings to take care of the arrangements to move towards the dining hall... While all stood up to go to the dining area, Priya gestured Suman to come near her, she understood it was to help Nanu to get up. But, before she could offer her hand a jealous naira came forward, suddenly becoming sweet as sugar( that causes diabetes )to help him.

Come, Dadaji I'll help you... she said in a sweet tone. seeing this, Suman looked towards Priya, who silently gestured her to come along with her and so she moved to the area.

On the other hand, as Shravan was about to take out a chair for his father, Ranveer came announcing, come Chhote papa sit, indirectly snatching the chair from Shravan's hand which didn't go unnoticed by him. he just silently got aside and took out the chair for Nanaji and Chachaji, who gladly accepted his offer giving him blessings in return. Which got noticed by Ramnath.

When Shravan went to sit, out of his everyday habit he went to sit beside Pushkar which also made him sit beside Suman, both sharing a little smile.

Seeing this despite sitting, Naira commented don't you think that is my place where you are sitting Suman, beside Shravan(saying it more clear just to show a little fake right and care thing). Hearing this Shravan was smiling inwardly feeling content about the feelings, little did he knew what was there in the future store.

I thought I was just sitting beside my mom Naira... She said it in the same clear tone with a broad fake smile. If you wish do take your place gladly...

Just then Ranveer interrupted who was sitting smile beside Naira on the other side.Ladies, it's just a seat...you don't have to fight over it and something like sitting beside Shravan, like really ...not at all..., instead why don't we focus on these delicacies exclusively prepared by none other than my Chhoti maa, making Nirmala smile.

Soon, all were busy with the food and their conversations, which mostly included Ranveer and Naira along with all the elders while others preferred focusing on their food.

While Suman was busy blending and playing the symphony of taste in her mouth enjoying her food to the best, rejuvenating her tastebuds, and trying to think of experiment recipes for her cafe, ( did I mentioned, her first love is food), dear Ranveer's voice interrupted her...

She was there, but she wasn't, she was not knowing about the question, totally confused about how to react, while all were looking towards her for her response...

Realizing the situation, Shravan bent towards her ear a little, he said, that you dance beautifully...saying this he shifted away and Suman just smiled in response, nodding her head.Thank you she spoke in a very low tone which was enough for him to hear and he just nodded in response.

I need to be present in present, she alerted her mentally and glanced around seeing Preeti, Aman, and Daboo laughing silently in plate making her smile and as she was having water her eyesight got crashed this time with Ranveer who was smiling towards her and didn't prefer to avert his gaze from her. So, she moved her gaze.

Bhai, when will this Ranveer Puran will get over, so we would be able to eat in peace, rather than smiling now and then, he said smiling again in response to something which he didn't hear.

patience baby just focus on eating, like the one doing beside me... Shravan murmured with a smile. in response, Pushkar also smiled looking lowly towards Suman who this time was present from the head and was smiling lowly and enjoying the banter despite being teased...
