They had breakfast together which was soon joined by Rehan. He took a seat beside Kritika after greeting her brother with a formal handshake.
Kritika didn't gave much acknowledgement to his presence around her. Her whole focus was on Arjun and Anshika. She was overjoyed with the news of meeting her parents. Her face was enlightened with a wide smile.
Rehan thought she was intentionally ignoring him because of room incident. But she was genuinely not aware of his glances that he was giving her every now and then.
Being the bone in each other's throat they can't just sit quiet when the other one is in their happy space.
"Sweetheart..... can you pass me the juice?" His statement left everyone stunned.
Elders stopped eating their food, Amrita choked on air while Vihaan spat his coffee on Aman's face.
Kritika blinked her lashes in confusion. She couldn't make out what shocked them? that too in chorus.
"Badi Maa..... Ye vahi Bhai sa hai na jinhe nickname cringe lagte the aur jinhone pura bakheda khada kar diya tha jab inhe kisi cousin ne nickname diya tha." Amrita asked whispering to Kalyani who gave back a nod still in daze.
( Badi Maa..... Is this same Bhai sa who found nicknames cringe and created a blunder when a cousin gave him a nickname. )
Kritika analysed everyone's shocked faces and raised her brows in questioning manner at the youngsters. Noticing Kritika's actions Rehan passed a glare at the trios causing them to bit back their own words and shook their heads in denial. Kritika narrowed her eyes at them.
What's with their synchronising and chorusing.
She picked the juice jar and slid it in Rehan's direction before moving back to the discussion with her brother. But the expressions on Arjun's face left her confused again. He was glaring at Rehan while gripping the fork tightly between his fingers.
Her eyes widened in sheer realisation when the events of yesterday came dawning upon her. Specially the car one.
Did he realised that? No way he can't.
But his looks are screaming something else.
"Your brother seems all prepared to stab that fork in my chest." Rehan uttered teasingly beside her.
"Good for you, cause you deserve that." She spat back angrily.
He chuckled at her irritated face. After successfully accomplishing his mission, Rehan went back to eating his food ignoring all the gazes around him. However, Arjun didn't step back from his job of glaring Rehan. Anshika tried to cool him down saying not to create any drama and he did listen to her.
Among all these genuine people our drama queen switched her acting mode on and pretended not to know anything while munching on her food.
After having such memorable breakfast Arjun asked to take his leave. Bidding bye to her inlaws Kritika joined the couple in their car. She sat on the backseat as the passenger seat was occupied by Anshika and Arjun sat on the driver one.
Halfway the environment was completely silent. But since they were traveling with Kritika, it turned chaotic soon. She converted the car into her mini concert as she always used to do on their triple date. Her concert was joined by the couple after sometime as their mood maker was with them.
After Screaming!! Yelling!! and destroying the soul of the songs, they finally reached Kritika's house. Her parents were waiting for her at the threshold with wide smiles. Jumping off the car she ran in their direction leaving the two behind.
