" Toh ab kya plan hai? " Soumya asked as they all dug into their dinner. ( So what's the plan now? )

" Matlab. " Ishi questioned. ( What do you mean? )

" Sangeet meh abhi do hafte hai, toh hum sab tab tak kya karenge. " ( There's still 2 weeks till the sangeet, so what will we all be doing until then. )

" Meh aur Aryan toh Goa jaa rahe hai. " Vani chimed in. " kyon ki yaha kuch karne ke liye kuch nahi bacha hai toh humne socha ki office ki ek important meeting khatam karde ge. " ( Me and Aryan are going to Goa. Because there isn't much to do here, we thought we'd go and get an important meeting over with. )

" Meeting toh Aryan ki hai na, toh tum kyun ja rahe ho. " Naman teased. ( The meeting is Aryan's right, so why are you going? )

" lagta hai ek aur honeymoon meh jaane wale hai yeh dono. " Adi giggled. Actually giggled. ( Looks like their planning to go on a second honeymoon. )

Both Vani and Aryan blushed scarlet and Veer along with Shreya recoiled in disgust. " Ew, aisa mat bol, behen hai woh meri. " ( Ew don't say that, she's my sister. )

Shreya readily agreed, mirroring his expression. Soumya, Ishika, Adi, and Naman laughed.

" Chup kar ghade. Shadi hone de, phir tujhe meh bhi honeymoon ke naam se chidaou ga. " Aryan glared and smacked the back of Adi's head. ( Shut up! Let your wedding be over, then even I'll tease you with the name of a honeymoon. )

Now it was time for Ishi and Adi to blush with Soumya and Naman laughing louder, the only ones not affected by the topic of conversation. Shreya and Veer shared eye contact before grabbing some ladoos from the table and stuffing both their faces as if that would get them to shut up. This only caused them to laugh louder and they reached out to high five each other across the table. Well that's one way to bond, Soumya thought. Soon they stopped giggling and the conversation returned to the earlier topic.

" Mujhe bhi ghar jaana hai, Office mein bahut kaam hai. " Veer announced his departure. ( I have to go home too. There's a lot of work in the office. )

The thought of him leaving didn't bode well to Soumya.

" Oh what do you do? " She asked to cover her disappointment.

Veer visibly stiffened, as did Vani and Aryan. Huh weird. Did she say something wrong?

" Uh I- "

" Omg guys! I have an idea. " Vani exclaimed suddenly, effectively cutting Veer off. " kyu na tum sab bhi goa chalo. We can make it like a bachelor/bachelorette trip. " ( Why don't you all also come to Goa. )

" Ooh great idea. " Ishika and Shreya were immediately onboard with the plan. And if they agreed, who were Adi and Naman to say no.

They all looked towards Soumya and Veer, who had not yet agreed. Soumya just shrugged, relieved she wouldn't have to go back to Mumbai. She was definitely not ready to see her brother and this trip would be a nice buffer. With her acceptance, they all turned to Veer who was not as willing.

" Par mera kaam ka kya? " He questioned. ( But what about my work. )

" Yaar meri bachelor trip hai, Kaam bad meh bhi ho sakta hai. " Adi complained. " Tumne ZNMD nahi dekhi hai, Arjun apna sara kaam chod ke chalta hai Spain Kabir ki bachelor party ke liye. " ( Dude it's my bachelor trip, work can come later. Haven't you watched ZNMD? Arjun leaves all his work behind and goes to spain for Spain for Kabir's bachelor party. )
