Ek Pyaar Iss Tarah vi !

Aditi's past ?

All the members got assembled in the lobby as decided before the meeting except three of them.

'Where is Drishti and the other two?''asked Vijay, after checking the time on the clock. 

'Look, the main lead is missing here in her own engagement shopping.'said Meera, and everyone laughed, then Drishti came there and said she was ready to join them.

'Okay, but where are your two friends, Aditi and Abhay?'asked Abhinav.

'They haven't come yet? Wait a second.'said Drishti and reached for her phone and called Aditi.

The very next moment, Aditi and Abhay were seen rushing towards them. 

'Sorry, sorry everyone for being late. Due to this idiot, I got stuck. Sorry again.'explained Aditi, who was panting for breath and glanced at Abhay.

'Everything is okay na beta?'asked Meera, concerned.

'Yeah yeah, sure aunty. Let's go.'said Aditi.

'Okay, we will be in two groups. One for us, the older ones and the other for you guys. We will not disturb your enjoyment. So be careful on the route.'explained Rajeev everything. 

'Yeah baba. .  Don't worry about that😉'said Drishti and winked.

'Okay, let's go then.'said Vijay and everyone started to walk away.

Vijay, Radha, Meera, Rajeev, Urmila and Santosh took their places in the 7 seated bolero, with Vijay in the driver's seat. In the other car, Prachi, Aditi and Drishti were in the back seat and Abhinav was driving with Abhay in his passenger seat. Akshyat said he would reach there with his own bike as he had some jobs to do before shopping and everyone agreed. It was a half an hour's distance to the shopping mall. The older ones were discussing and, on the other side, the younger ones were enjoying themselves fully with the music and screaming loudly.

Aditi seemed to be a little uneasy about something, but she tried her best not to show any expression on her face to be noticed. So she, too, joined the screaming and humming. As they decided they had to shop for some jewelry, then they would move to the clothing part. All of them got out of the cars after reaching there, but soon were surprised to see Ankit and his family there too. Ankit came and touched the feet of the elder ones.

'Bless you, beta. But, we didn't know that you would be here too. It's good then, as you guys can choose your own rings too.'said Meera.

'Aunty, it was a surprise for Drishti, which I had planned with Akshyat bhaiya.'explained Ankit. Then Akshyat joined them too.

’So, this was your undone job, haan?’said Radha and pinched his ear.

'Ouch. . Ouch. . It hurts, maa. It was a surprise, nahh. That's why I didn't tell you.'said Akshyat, trying to be saved from his mother. Aditi was smiling all this whole time. Both of the families got engaged in talks and Akshyat glanced at Aditi to find her smiling, which made him smile too. Then Drishti approached Akshyat and thanked him for the surprise, to which Akshyat replied, 'anything for you, cutie.', and muffled her hair cutely.

'Ab sab baatein yahin kar le ya mall andar v jaaye?😑'said Prachi. Everyone laughed and went into the mall. Drishti and Ankit were stealing glances at each other and smiling. Drishti checked and when she found no one looking at her, she winked at Ankit, to which Ankit acted to fall and made Drishti laugh. 

'Ahaan. . Yeh Kya, khule aam pyaar dikha raho ho apne mehbooba ko? Hum v yahan hai. Thoda toh sharam kar lo.'said Aditi, who noticed all those activities. 

'Shut up. Tu besharam hai jo hume dekh rahi hai. Meri v time jaldi aayega jab mein v tujhe aisa karte pakdoongi tera saiyan ke saath.'said Drishti.
