2 WEEKS LATER AT THE KHANNA HOUSE ---

'' Ye Fishmarket hai ya Hamari ghar!?  Sab subah se yahan wahan chal rahi hai '' shouted Bebe to Sweta. ''AREY BEBE! Tillu ki shaadi hai na thoda adjust toh kar li jiye na '' ''AREY SHAADI NAHI HAI, SIRF ENGAGEMENT HAI AUR USKE LIE BHI THEEN DIN BAAKI HAI! '' ''Bebe woh- '' ''Aunty Ji, saare curtains aa gaye hai?'' interrupted Mithali. '' Haan Haan! Chalo Chalo '' Sweta replied and gave a quick grin to Bebe and left. Bebe sighed and shook her head. '' YE bachche bhi na'' she muttered and went to her room.

''Ye lo curtains '' Sweta said handing over the Boxes to Mithali. ''Mujhe pata hai tumne shaadi ka preparations ko handle kar rahe ho.Phir bhi kya tum saare khaam akele karoge? Koi toh assistance chahiye na tumhe?'' ''AUNTY JI, aap tension mat lo meri dost aa rahi hai meri madad karne ke liye. AAPKO pata hai use. '' ''MUJHE PATA HAI?'' That moment A buzzing sound came. ''Ek min aunty JI'' Mithali said picking her phone. A minute later she came back.''Ab toh batao voh kaun hai!?'' ''Mere saath aayiye aap khud dekhogi'' ''PAR--'' Mithali dragged Sweta to the front gate. ''Yahan toh koi nahi hai'' ''VAHAN DEKHIYE'' She said pointing to the other side of SWETA looking. There was a BIKE. It came closer and closer. It was a WOMAN riding on it. She had her SunGlasses on. 

(SHE WAS WEARING THE DRESS IN THE TOP)

She came and stopped near the House, Got down, and removed her Sunglasses.'' AVNI!? '' SWETA shouted. ''Arey waah aunty Ji, aapko meri yaad hai'' Avni said grinning as she walked towards her. ''Arey tumhe kaise bhool sakti hoon?'' said Sweta hugging her. '' Par mujhe laga ki tum California main kuch kaam sey thi? '' ''Haan, main kuch din pehle ek program ke liye aayi thi. Mithali ne phone kiya toh main aagayi.'' said Avni. 

'' Kaha reh rahi ho tum? '' asked Sweta to Avni as they went inside. ''Main toh Hotel main rukhne waali thi'' ''Hotel kyu? hamari ghar mey hi rah lo na?'' ''AUNTY voh-'' ''VOH-BOH KUCH NAHI KAHEGI TUM. Mithali bhi yahi rah rahi hai tum uske saath yahi rah rahi ho'' ''Luggage kaha hai tumhari? '' '' Voh meri friend ki ghar rakh ke aayi hoon'' ''Baad main use lekhe aao teekhe?aur-''

''SWETA!!! SWETA!'' a voice called loudly. ''Ye bebe bhi na--'' ''Voh bebe hai? Main use dekhke aati hoon. AATI HOON AUNTY!'' said Avni. ''AREY AVNI! Ye na bilkul nahi badli '' I knew her for only a year, but she has a special place in my heart, thought Sweta.


'' BEBE!! '' Shouted Avni as she came inside. Bebe looked at her and said ''Kaun ho tum?'' ''kya bebe aapne Jalebi Baby ko bhool gayi?'' ''Jalebi Baby? voh toh- AVNI?'' ''MAIN HOON'' ''aao beta, aao aao'' said bebe and gave her a hug. ''Kya beta US jaane ki baad ek phone call bi nahi ki? Ab hi hamari hamari yaad aayi kya?''

''ACHCHA teekhe , tumhe pata hai neil na tumko bohat miss kiya thi ki voh roz Jalebi khaakhe khaakhe mota chuka tha'' Avni giggled. ''Phir se hamari ghar mey jalebi banana hi choddiya.

''Teekhe BEBE aati hoon'' she said and touched her feet. ''jiyo jiyo'' Avni smiled and walked to Mithali.
