Navi complex.

Everyone was settled on the dining table. Ishan and Shubman placed all the dishes on the table. Ishan had made butter chicken, butter roti, chole kulche, raita, jeera rice, dal makhani, salad, rajma and dessert he had baked chocolate cake.

" Ishu beta apne itni mehnat kyu ki?? Hum bahar se order kar lete. " Mrs Gill said softly.

Ishan smiled replying her " aunty ye first family gathering h, upar se naye Ghar m h. Toh Maine socha ghar ka hi sahi rahe hai."

Shubman was happy, exceptionally happy. Their family accepting them wholeheartedly.

" This is so good. Mumma shubi ki toh lottery lagi h. Yaar Ishu isko chod de, aur mere se shaadi karle. " Shahneel said devouring the tasty meal.

Virat, Hardik, Rohit and Rahul snickered.

" Exactly Shahneel. Pata h jab bhi inke ghar dinner plan hota h, hum sari wives yahi sochte h. " Natasha told. Other wives present also agreed.

" Pata h, two days before the semis, gahr pe dinner plan tha and most of the players had come. Uss din Ishan me halwa banaya tha. Siraj ne khane ke baad , Ishu bola usse shaadi kar lene. " Ritika narrated.

Everyone laughed at that. Ishan felt shy and blush at all the attention while Shubman despised the idea of Ishan with someone else. His mood become slightly sour.

Ishan turned and understood, so he placed his hand on Shubman's hand, gently pressed in assurance.

" But chahu marry me. Haina chahu. " Vami said cutely to which even Sammy nodded agreeing.

They all awed at their cuteness. Agastya scrunched his nose and said.

" But Vami he is elder. You marry me. "

" What the hell!!! Not my daughter you little shit. Harry keep this junior Pandya away from my daughter or I'll beat him. "

He immediately pulled Vamika to himself.

" Good going champ. " Hardik grinned at his son.

Like this with lots of banters and bickering, lunch came to end. It was so enjoyable. Them sharing tales of each other from childhood days.

Mr and Mrs Kishan and Mr and Mrs Gill looked very happy and satisfied. Their kids were happy together. It felt so surreal.

Later Ishman have their family a home tour. They had living room with a kitchen and three guest room downstairs.

And first floor consisted of a master bedroom with three spare room. Then it had a big spacious balcony with proper sitting arrangement and some plants in decoration.

An hour or two later parents, wives and kids left as now the team members are gonna come to spend time.

" Toh raat ka kya plan h ??" Hardik asked.

" Dinner aur phir bahar baith ke baate and games. Bonfire karte h." Ishan suggested.

" Toh usse better a BBQ h. Bahar hi bana bhi lenge aur enjoy kar lenge." Rohit said thoughtfully.

" Of course, how can you never think about food. Panda afternoon m hi itna oily khaya h. Raat ko baksh de, parson nikal na h. " Virat said teasing Rohit.

If you ask Virat ' why ', he'd answer ' simple cuz he's my best friend and that's my birth right.'

Ishan cooked soya biriyani, chicken tikka kebab, chicken bhuna curry, rotis, dal palak, matar paneer, paneer pulao, soya ghee roast, chopped chicken salad and chocolate pudding.
