They all settled on round table. Aarohi, Abhimanyu, Ruhi, Abhir, Abhinav and Akshara settled down in respective order. Ruhi and Abhir were discussing about menu. Akshara said, "Aaj donoko cumpolsory roti sabji hi order karni hai. Itne dinose thikse roti sabji ek bar bhi nahi khayi hai, aur abhi hume datne ke liye tumhare buddy bhi nahi hai, isliye ab tum donoko humari baat sunni padegi." Aarohi agreed. Making faces at last they gave order their favorite sabji. Aarohi went to attend some call. Kids were discussing something. Akshara held Abhinav's one hand secretly. Abhinav raised his eyebrows. She gave him smile. He started reading the menu card. Abhimanyu said, "Sharmaji aapko pata hai, Akshara ka ye bahot favorite restaurant hai. Jab bhi kabhi usse bahar khane ka man karta tha wo yahi pe aajati thi. Yaha ki daal makhni uski favorite hai. Hai na Akshara?" Akshara looked at him angrily. "Haan lekin ab mujhe Kasauli ka dham jyada pasand hai." She looked at Abhinav lovingly. "Yaha ke khanese aur logonse ab mujhe koi farak padta hi nahi hai kyunki mera ghar, mere log, ab sirf aur sirf Kasauli me hi hai." Abhimanyu looked at her reluctantly. He excused himself and went outside. Abhinav said, "Akshara ye sab..." "Aap kuch mat boliye, usse ye jawab dena jaruri tha. Usse pata hai na ki me ab wo purani Akshu nahi hu, to kyu wo bar bar meri purani yaadonko marod raha hai? Samjta kya hai wo ki wo mujhe pichli baate yaad dilayega to me wapas uske pas jaungi kya?" She blurted out her thoughts. She realized what she did. Abhinav asked, "Matlab? Aap abhi abhi kya boli?" Akshara decided to tell him her thoughts regarding Abhimanyu's intentions. "Abhinav wo..." but got interrupted by Abhir. She blinked her eyes saying will talk later. He nodded.
Meanwhile the waiter served them the food. Abhimanyu sat on his chair. Akshara asked, "Ye Aaru kya kar rahi hai? Itni der se phone pe hai." Ruhi said, "Maasi, matashree ka aisa hi hai, wo humesha aise hone par hi rehti hai." Abhimanyu corrected her, "Hone pe nahi, phone par Ruh." Ruhi nodded. Aarohi came there. "Sorry, sorry, wo important patient ka call tha." They started having their food.
Abhir nudges Abhinav, "Kya hua Aara?" Abhir opened his mouth and pointed towards the food. Abhinav got it and started fed him one morsel. Ruhi looked at them and did same thing like Abhir but Abhimanyu said, "Ruh bachha aap to big girl ho na aur big girl ko aise khilana nahi padta hai. Aap ghar me bhi apne hatse hi khate ho, abhi bhi achhe bachhi ki tarah khao apne hatse ok? Fir poppy aapko ice cream bhi khilayenge." She nodded slowly and looked at Abhinav – Abhir emotionally. Abhinav fed one morsel to Abhir and put one morsel in front of Ruhi. She looked at him. He said, "Kya hua bachha, aise kyu dekh rahi ho?" She nodded negatively and took the morsel. Abhinav started fed them one by one. Aarohi said, "Jiju aap bhi to kha lo, ab dono apne hatse kha lenge." Abhinav said, "Are nahi saaliji, apne hatse bachhonko khilane ka sakoon kuch aur hi hai ji." Abhimanyu said sarcastically, "Aapka sakoon bachhonko dependent bana raha hai Sharmaji. Junior ka to nahi pata par meri Ruh independent hai bilkul. Usse na kabhi bag bharne me humari madad lagti hai aur na kabhi ready hone me." Abhinav said, "Ye to bahot achhi baat hai ji, Nikkeji bhi ye sab karta hai par kya hai na bhaiji bachhonko bachha hi rehne dena chahiye. Me ye nahi kehta ki unhe humpe depend hona chahiye par agar kabhi unhe lage ki hum unhe khana khilaye to bina kisi zichak se unhe khila dena chahiye. Isse bachhe dependent nahi bante hai ji balki strong bante hai. Unhe pata chalta hai ki hum unse bahot pyar karte hai. Bhaiji aap to doctor hai, aapko to ye sab pata hi hoga na ji." Abhimanyu couldn't say a word.
After having dinner they all went to the ice cream parlor. Abhinav and Abhimanyu went to buy ice creams. While giving order Abhimanyu purposely ordered Akshara's favorite flavor for him and for her. he said, "Sorry Sharmaji, wo galtise Akshara ke liye maine order kar diya." Abhinav said, "Koi bat nahi bhaiji par ab Akshara ko ye flavor jyada nahi pasand. Unhe ab ye" pointing in the menu card "Ye flavor achha lagta hai." He ordered her favorite ice cream. Abhimanyu said, "Kya baat kar rahe hai aap Sharmaji? Ye to impossible hai ki Akshara iss flavor ko mana karegi." Abhinav nodded. "Chalo dekhte hai fir Akshara kisse chunti hai?" Abhinav looked at him, "Ji?" Abhimanyu said, "Mera matlab hai ki konsa flavor chunti hai." Abhinav said, "Aapko humesha competition karna kyu pasand hai?" Abhimanyu smiled, "Bachpan ki aadat hai Sharmaji! Jo cheez meri hoti hai usse me kisi aur ki nahi hone deta fir chahe mujhe kuch bhi karna pade. Isliye competition lagata hu." Abhinav nodded.
