One evening, as Abhishek and Jiya were relaxing at home, Jiya's face lit up with excitement.
**Jiya:** Abhi, you know what? Ganpati Mahotsav is around the corner, and I've been thinking. How about we go to Mumbai to celebrate it with my family?
**Abhishek (thoughtfully):** Mumbai for Ganpati Mahotsav, huh? That sounds like a fantastic idea, Jiya. I know how important this festival is for you and your family.
**Jiya (grinning):** It's not just about the festival, Abhi. I want you to experience the vibrant culture and traditions of Mumbai during this time. And I'd love for my family to get to know you better.
Abhishek smiled warmly at Jiya's enthusiasm.
**Abhishek:** Jiya, you don't have to convince me. I'd be honored to join your family in celebrating Ganpati Mahotsav. It's a great opportunity for both our families to bond.
**Jiya (excited):** Yay! That's settled then. I'll let both of the mummas know, and we can plan our trip to Mumbai.
As Jiya started making plans for their visit, Abhishek couldn't help but feel grateful for this opportunity to be a part of Jiya's family traditions and to witness the grandeur of Mumbai's Ganpati celebrations. It was a journey that would not only bring them closer but also create unforgettable memories of togetherness and love.

**Abhishek (playfully):** Jiya, let's tackle these flower garlands together.
Abhishek and Jiya began to work on a long flower garland, threading marigolds and roses meticulously. However, in the midst of their efforts, they found themselves entangled in the floral strands, their faces inches apart.
