"Arre waah Ram, aaj tune bohot achha kiya humhe bulaake. Itna saara khaana!" Adi exclaimed as he sat down at the table.

Ram and Priya had invited their friends over to the Kapoor Mansion to have brunch together. It had been a while since they had all gotten to relax together, and Ram and Priya were finally trying to move forward after opening their hearts and souls to each other again. Luckily for them, Nandini and Shubham had holed themselves up at the Alibaug resort soon after Ram, Priya, and Pihu returned from their week-long stay at the Sood House, so Ram and Krish were also able to gather evidence against Nandini and Shubham without much stress.

"Aur ye sab khaana maine healthy banaya hain, toh no stress about diets and all," Priya smiled as she came out of the kitchen with a platter of sweet potato parathas in hand.

"Priya, I'm really sorry once again," Brinda spoke up guiltily.

"Bri, tum kitni baar maafi maangogi? Ek hafte mein 100 baar tumne apologize kiya hain. Don't worry, it's ok."

"Lekin Priya..."

"Lekin-vekin kuch nahi. Ek aur baar kiya na toh main phir se naraaz ho jaungi. Please tum tension mat lo aur baith ke khaana khao. Pihu, Bri ko kaho na!"

"Chalo na Bri!" Pihu pouted, tugging her hand and bringing her towards the table.

"Arre Priya, tum bhi baitho," Ram called out to Priya, who was heading towards the kitchen again.

"Ek second, ek aur cheez hain jo maine specially aapke liye banayi hain," she said as she approached the table with a bowl in hand. She handed it to Ram, who broke out into a huge smile when he saw the contents.

"Mera favorite halwa!"

"Ji haan. Aap iss hafte good boy the na, toh aap treat deserve karte hain."

"Sabke saamne meri pol mat kholo," Ram grumbled as everyone around him laughed.

"Achha, sorry," Priya leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting down in her own chair.

"Haaye, ab lagta hain mujhe meethe ki zaroorat hi nahi hain," Ram playfully swooned.

"Ahem, tum dono ka ho gaya? Nahi matlab, khaana thanda ho raha hain aur tum dono toh romance mein hi mashghool ho," Krish snickered.

"Lagta hain humaara next mission 'Krish ki Shaadi Karwao' hona chahiye, haina?" Priya teased, sticking her tongue out at her friend.

"Handsome ki shaadi! Wow Mumma, itna achha idea hain!" Pihu exclaimed.

"Kyun nahi! Itne din ho gaye hain, kuch celebration toh hona chahiye na! Chalo crew, ladki dhoondne mein lag jao sab. Adi, tumhari woh Delhi waali cousin ki shaadi nahi hui na ab tak?" Ram asked.

"Nahi yaar, maine bataya toh tha na ki uski engagement ho gayi hain! Tumhe yaad hain na woh Vik ka cousin Shardul, ussi ke saath."

"Damn man, ab toh tough ho gaya."

"Arre, mere peeche kyun padh gaye ho sab! Mujhe abhi shaadi nahi karni hain!" Krish whined.

"Krish, tum sabko kyun nahi bataate ki ek ladki already hain, aur tum usse propose karne se darr rahe ho?" Priya smirked.

"WHAT?"

"Priya..."

"Kya hua? Tum sharmaa rahe ho?"
