Ishan, Abhishek, and Mayank were browsing the shopping center when Ishan recognized a well-known figure. "Tillu..." Ishan yelled, running up to the person and embracing him tightly. "Tillu?" asked Abhishek and Mayank, perplexed. "Ishu..." the man said, embracing Ishan firmly. 

"Kaisa hai gadhe?" Ishan inquired. The man said, "Main thik hun, tu bata?" "Main bhi thik hun," Ishan replied. Abhishek and Mayank watched them talk as they were long-lost siblings separated at a fair. "Sunna, bhabhi ke dost," Abhishek said. 

"Mera naam Mayank hai." Mayank said. "Jab bhi main Mayank bolta hun na toh monkey lagta hai," Abhishek explained. "Tum pagal wagal ho kya abhi kuch time pehle toh "hmm..nice name" bol rahe the," Mayank retorted. "Tum sad na ho isiliye bol raha tha," Abhishek said. "Shut up," Mayank said.

 "Okay, wo chodo, yeh batao tum is ladke ko jante ho," Abhishek said. "Nahi main isse kabhi nahi mila jiju ke dost," Mayank said. "Abhishek...mera naam Abhishek hai," Abhishek said. "Jab bhi main tumhara naam sunta hun na toh African monkey ki yaad aa jati hai" Mayank said.

 "Whatever...chalo," Abhishek said. "Kahan?" Mayank asked. "Mere dil me," Abhishek said, smiling sheepishly. "Shut up..." Mayank said. "Phir aise bakwas kyun karte ho tum? Chalo bhabhi se puchte hai kon hai wo," Abhishek said. Mayank made an oo face as both of them walked over to Ishan.

 "Bhabhi?" Abhishek inquired. Ishan turned and looked at them. "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce you two. Tilak, meet Abhishek and Mayank," Ishan said, pointing at them. They exchanged greetings. "By the way, ye kon hai?" Tilak inquired. 

"Ye mere husband ke best friend, Abhishek Sharma, aur ye Mayank Markande, mera best friend," Ishan introduced, pointing at them. Tilak asked, "You're married?" "Yes," Ishan said. Tilak inquired, "To whom?" "Umm...to Shubman Gill," Ishan replied. 

"Shubman Gill, as in the CEO of Gill Industries?" Tilak inquired. "Yes," Ishan confirmed. Tilak said, "Wow, dude, tune toh billionaire ko pata liya." "Pataya nahi hai arranged marriage hai," Ishan explained. Tilak said, "Tu ek ke baad ek shock de raha hai mujhe." Ishan chuckled at him. 

"Aaj sham ko tu free hai?" Ishan inquired. "Han kyun?" Tilak inquired. "Aaj hamare ghar me party hai, kyunki reception hua nahi toh papa ne party rahdi?" Ishan said. "Okay, main aa jaunga," Tilak said. 

They then said their goodbyes and the three of them proceeded towards the automobile. "By the way, bhabhi, wo tha kon?" Abhishek inquired, glancing at Mayank, who was preoccupied with his phone. "Mere bachpan ka dost," Ishan said while texting Shubman.

 "Hmm..." Abhishek said, and that's when Mayank noticed Abhishek gazing at him and winking through the rearview mirror. Mayank became embarrassed and looked out the window.

Ishan, Abhishek, and Mayank arrived at their destination. Ishan jumped out of the car and entered eagerly as Abhishek followed closely behind, his hands full of shopping bags. Mayank trailed after them. "Mumma, I'm home!" Ishan exclaimed, rushing towards his mother-in-law.

Mrs Kishan smiled warmly at him, witnessing their strong bond. "Kaisi rahi shopping beta?" Mrs. Gill inquired. "It was great, Mumma. Aapse ek baat puchni hai," Ishan replied. "Han puch," Mrs. Gill encouraged. "Maa, aapko Tilak yaad hai?" Ishan asked his mother. 

"Han, Tilak Verma?" Mrs. Kishan clarified. "Han wahi. Aaj maine usko mall me dekha toh maine na usko party me invite kar diya, koi problem toh nahi hai na mumma," Ishan said with some hesitation. "Nahi baccha koi problem nahi hai. Aur ye tumhara dost Mayank hai na?" Mrs. Gill inquired, gesturing towards Mayank.

 "Han, Mumma," Ishan confirmed. Mayank approached and touched their feet respectfully. "Khush raho beta. Isse apna hi ghar samjho beta, tum log jake rest karo main lunch bhijwati hun," Mrs. Gill replied kindly. "Okay, Mumma..." Ishan said before leading the way towards his room. Mayank and Abhishek followed close behind.
