Naina had set her alarm early and got out of bed as soon as it rang. She took a quick shower and then dressed up in a beautiful light green anarkali suit. The suit had intricate patterns and designs all over it, and it was made of a silky or glossy fabric that made it look shiny in the light. She paired it with a matching light green dupatta that she draped gracefully over her arm and back. The dupatta had a thin border and some embroidery on it that added to its elegance.

She completed her look with some dark-colored heels that had detailed embellishments on them. The shoes matched well with her outfit and gave her some extra height. She also accessorized with some jewelry, such as earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet.

The earrings were long and dangling, with green and gold beads that sparkled as they moved. The necklace was a simple gold chain with a pendant that had the same green and gold beads as the earrings. The bracelet was a thin gold bangle with some green stones on it that contrasted nicely with her skin.

She was ready to surprise her parents on their anniversary. She went towards the living room and saw Aditi and Arjun in the mandir, praying and offering flowers. She ran and hugged them from behind and said, "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MA AND PAPA."

Aditi turned around and smiled at her daughter. She said, "Thank you baccha. You look lovely today. Now tell me what have you planned for us today?" Naina said, "Ma, you will find out soon enough. It's a surprise, remember? Now chalo, let's go to the first place."

Arjun ruffled her hair and said, "Accha, so you have taken a day off from work?" Naina bit her tongue and said, "Uh, I will call Reyansh and let him know." She hoped he would not mind her skipping work for a day.

Then she called Reyansh who picked it up and asked, "Yes?" Naina said, "Um..Reyansh, is it okay if I take leave today, because it's my parent's wedding anniversary. I want to spend some time with them."

Reyansh said, "But, the file?" Naina said, "How about I give it to Riya di? I will meet her in the mandir, now."

Reyansh said, "No, you can give it to me because even I am coming to the Mandir with di." Naina said, "Okay, Reyansh. See you."

Then they went towards the Mandir and Aditi said, "Arre, this is the mandir, I always wanted to come. Thank you so much, baccha."

Naina smiled and they went inside the mandir. She spotted Riya and Reyansh. She walked towards them with her file and said, "Reyansh?"

Reyansh turned towards her and said, "Oh yeah! the file." Naina was shocked. This man did not even greet her and his attention was on that damn file.

Riya shook her head in annoyance and said, "Arre, Naina. I saw your Instagram post. Where are they?"

Naina pointed towards Aditi and Arjun. Aditi was laughing for something Arjun told. Naina said, "Di, we have arranged a small party in our house with the savings and the advance salary I got. Please come with Aunty, Uncle and Reyansh."
