The next day

Rajeev smiled widely upon receiving the text from his bestie stating his surprise visit to Mumbai.

He rushed to the Kumar residence to inform his uncle and plan for a grandeur party for the Lieutenant.

Ping!

'...lets go for shopping...' Ramya messaged him who tsked at the unwanted intrusion and replied her back saying that he had some pre planned engagement till evening.

Kumar residence

Mrunal agreed to leave for her course in Delhi, upon Deepika's suggestion. As she felt that it would help her forget the one person once and for all.

"...Raj!!...you are a little late...anyways *sigh*...lets go to the garden area..." a scornful Arjun signalled him to follow him to plan for the party.

Deepika laughed loudly on the request from Rajeev for the prank that they were planning for Lieutenant, making Arjun irritated at his boyish smile for his wife. She moved out to prepare the line of dishes for the afternoon party.

"..." Arjun saw the way Rajeev was scanning the area looking here and there, making him realise the unrest. Arjun didn't want his daughter to have any interaction with the boy. So...

"...Raj...lets go the market to get the supplies...hm?" Arjun then took out his car keys from his kurta pocket handing them to the boy who was still searching the premises with his waiting eyes to catch a glimpse of her serene eyes.

But she didn't even bring his favourite cookies – as usual.

As he took the car out, he saw the sight which he had wished. Mrunal came out to water the plants in the front porch with a sad look.

It hurt him to see her gloomy face and asked Arjun who followed his gaze.

He contemplated on what possible reply could he give him and answered that she was tensed with the exam results.

"...Uncle!...she is an ace...getting first class is like a cakewalk for her...*tsk*...don't worry...I will talk to her...hm?" pacifying the father, Rajeev took the car to the market for the supplies. Arjun could only hum in agreeing the clueless man about his crush's first heartbreak.

Pomp!

Dhiraj was taken aback by the sudden burst of the confetti on his broad self. And felt the warm hug of his bestie after 2 long years, making him smile.

"...Dude!!...you are buffed up like hell!!!..." Rajeev was not able to contain himself and saw the way his 'Buji' came to have a soft hug from her brother.
