Next morning Abhi wakes up and finds only Avni by his side. He goes to the kitchen and sees Akshara preparing the breakfast. He goes and hugs her from behind.

Good Morning Jaan.

Good Morning. Is Avni also up?

No she is sleeping. She was tired after the picnic.

I know.

What are you making?

Today I made something different from the usual.

And what's that?

I made chole and puri.

Awesome Jaan. Come here.

Abhi sits on the counter while Akshara is standing in front of him. He pulls her close to himself and they both hug each other.

Now go and freshen up then we will have our breakfast.

Wait a moment. Just stay.

Akshara smiles and kisses his chest. Abhi and Akshu have their breakfast. After sometime Avni also gets up and Akshara serves her too.

This is awesome mamma.

Then finish it fast. I am in the kitchen till then.

Avni finishes her breakfast and goes to the kitchen to talk to her mother.

Mamma please.

Avni no.

Why mamma?

Because you are too young for it.

But all my friends do it.

Did you finish your breakfast?

Yes I did. I will ask Papa.

Avni goes into the hall and sees her father talking on the phone. She goes and sits on his lap waiting for him to disconnect the call.

Why is my princess upset?

Papa, you tell mamma. She is saying no.

What is mamma saying no to? What did you tell her?

I told her that I will sleep in my room. All my friends do it.

Ok let me talk to mamma, smiling to himself and goes to the kitchen with Avni in his arms.

Abhi no don't even think.

Jaan but why. If she wants it, what's the problem.

No Abhi. What if she gets scared at night?

Akshu we will be in the next room. She is not sleeping alone in the house. She has, how many glowing moons and stars are in your room Avni?

Papa 50.

See, it won't even be completely dark in her room.

Still Abhi.

Relax Akshu let her try. If she gets scared, she will come to us. Right Avni?

Yes mamma. Please.

Ok. Now what can I say when you father and daughter have teamed up.

Thankyou papa. Thankyou mamma. And she ran to her room.

I know where your mind is going right now Dr. Birla. I am well aware with this smirk of yours.

What? I didn't even do anything. If God wants it what can we say Jaan.

Yeah I know.

Ok listen, Kairav was calling for the address and badi mamma said don't prepare anything for lunch.

Oh that's good. I was about to cook something. Let's sit then and enjoy our last holiday from tomorrow we both are joining.

Yeah. This week just went away in a blink as if. I am happy atleast we shifted here.

They sit down on the sofa with Abhi's head in Akshara's lap. She is scrolling through the channels while continuously caressing Abhi's hair.

Abhi let me go see Avni. She hasn't come out since quite some time.

Wait. Don't go anywhere. Avniiiii.

Yes papa.

What are you doing?

I am coloring. I will come out in some time.

See you don't need to go anywhere jaan. Come here before she comes.

Abhi pulls her head down and kisses her on the lips while she too reciprocates. They are about to deepen the kiss when they hear Avni coming out. Avni comes and sits on her father's stomach.

Papa when will Mimi, bade papa and all come?

They are on their way baby. They will come soon.

Avni are you happy they are coming?

Yes mamma. I will show them my room and tell them papa allowed me to sleep alone.

Yeah. You and your papa teaming up against me.

Jaan why are you jealous? For once she is on my side.

Just then the bell rings and Abhi opens the door welcoming the Goenkas. Swarna and Kairav head straight to the kitchen to put down some dishes while Mimi, Bade Papa and Vansh join Abhimanyu and Avni on the sofa.

Akshu are you happy here in this new place?

Ofcourse Badi mamma. Can't you see the glow on her face and that smile that never left her face since the time we arrived.

Bhaiyaaaaa...

No Akshu he is right but I really am happy for you.

Thankyou Badi mamma. Let me go and meet mimi and bade papa. AG didn't come bhaiya?

No he had some work at the office.

Mamu, badi mamma come I will show you my room.

Avni takes all the goenkas and shows them around the house, specifically her room. Abhi goes and helps Akshara in the kitchen to set up the table for lunch.

Mamma see what bade papa gave me.

What's in the box Avni?

Papa, mamu said it's a gift from them because we shifted in the new house.
Ok. Come here let's see what's in it.

Abhi and Avni open the box and there is a key in it.

Jaan what's this?

I don't know Abhi. Let's have lunch and ask bade papa.

Bade papa what key is this?

Akshu since you shifted to your new home so we definitely had to gift you something afterall you are our daughter. But we couldn't decide what so finally we settled down for a car. Abhimanyu please don't say no and don't think otherwise.

No bade papa, it's ok. She is your daughter and nobody can change this fact.

They have their lunch peacefully while Avni enjoys the most. The Goenkas leave after sometime.

Abhi now I don't think there is any need to buy another car as of now.

Obviously no.

Also I was thinking we will give Ramesh off on Saturday also because I don't have to go on Saturdays so I can drop Avni.

What you won't come to hospital on Saturdays? That means I don't get to see you.

Stop being so dramatic Abhi. I am your wife. At the end of the day you will always come to me.

That's right Mrs. Birla.
