Kreya came back to them after finishing her food. Others were also completed their eating. By that time, Asher became comfortable with Kreya's presence. Kreya was playing with Asher.
"Khana kha liya na? Koi dikkat toh nehi hui?" Dimple aunty asked Kreya. In response, she just nod her head as no and then said, "It was good. Though maine socha Abhishek ke room bohat ganda hoga larkon ke hote hai na! Par aisa nehi tha."
Hearing her words, Prechay started laughing and teasing Abbu. Prerna whispered, "Isne toh tujhe bina detergent ke dho dala, abbu."
"Chaalo ab ham chalte hai." Raka said. "Chalte hai matlab? O bhai, kaha chalte hai? Itni saal baad mile aur tu toh poora badal gaya." Vinay said.
"Bohat raat ho gaya hai. Aur phir Nonu, Abbu, Polu ko bhi toh kam hoga na! Celebrity jo hai." Raka said playfully laughing.
"Uncle, ruk jaiye hume waise bhi kuch kam nehi hai." Prerna said. "Aur Asher toh waise bhi so hi gaya." she added.
"Uncle nehi bhai Raka hi bolo tumlog mujhe." Raka said.
"Thik hae, Raka. Par ruk jaiye." Nishchay said.
"Haa bhaisaab reh jaiye." Dimple said.
"Aaj nehi bhabi. Fir ek din kabhi. Kaal saman sab shift bhi karna hai aur ghar decorate karna bhi hai. Bohat kam hai kal." Raka explained.
"Wo sab karne mein Abhishek aur Nishchay teri help kardega." Vinay said.
"Yaar unko bhi toh kam hoga." Raka said.
"Uncle...i mean Raka, hum zyada busy nehi hai. Kam khatam karke bhi aplogo ki help kar sakte hai." Abhishek said.
"Kreya..." Raka looked at his daughter. Kreya didn’t say anything, just nodded her head.
"Thik hai bhai, itna insist karrahe ho. Toh ruk jaate hai thodi der." Raka said agreeing to stay.
Dimple aunty, Vinay uncle and Raka left the place leaving the kids alone. Abhishek and Nishchay excused themselves as they had promised their panda gang and triggered army a live stream together. Prerna went to the room with Asher to take care of him as he was sleeping peacefully. Kreya was wandering around the house watching the interior designs and other stuffs.
Next day,
Raka already brought their furnitures and stuffs through pick up car to their new house. Raka and Vinay were becoming neighbours basically as Raka's house building was two building after the Malhan mansion. Raka was managing the outer part while Kreya was handling the works inside the house, like cleaning, setting her stuffs. She was doing her work when she heard doorbell ringing. She went to the door and opened the door and saw Abhishek and Nishchay there. She was still wearing mask.
"Aap log yaha?" she asked.
"Raka ko promise kiya tha. Aana hi tha. Prerna bhi aati par usse jana padha." Nishchay said getting inside the house.
"Ghar toh waise utna bhi bikhra hua nehi hai. Aakela sab karliya?" Abhishek asked.
"Kuch kuch kiya hai par abhi bhi baaki hai." she replied in a soft tone.
"Koi naa wo main karlunga. Aur Abhishek tumhe tumhaari chizen rakhne mein help kardega. Waise Raka kaha hai?" Nishchay said.
"Bahar gaye hai. Aate hi honge." Kreya replied.
Time skips,
Abhishek was helping her putting her stuffs in places like she was saying. She was arranging some books to put on the shelf when a piece of white paper type fell from a book. Kreya didn’t notice but Abhishek did. He picked up the paper. It was an half of a picture. He turned it around and saw a pretty girl smiling. He looked at the picture's girl once and then at Kreya's once. There was no doubt that that picture was of Kreya's. But the only difference was the Kreya in the picture was smiling, looking bubbly and cheerful while the Kreya in front of him was bit in her own world, cornering herself from the people.
He immediately hid the picture as Kreya turned around towards him. Kreya raised her eyebrows at him. "Kuch nehi..." Abhishek said hiding the picture in his pocket.
Time skips,
They were done unpacking all the stuffs and putting it in its right place. Then decorating the house nicely. Abhishek and Nishchay were waiting for Kreya as she asked them to go after eating something. After sometime, Kreya came with cupcakes that she made earlier and two glasses of cold coffee.
Nishchay and Abhishek were eating the cupcakes and drinking the cold coffee but they were feeling little bit awkward as she was wearing mask the whole time and they were the only one eating. She was not eating with them.
"Shayad dad aaj late ho jayenge...aapke Raka se aap log aaj mil nehi payenge shayad." Kreya said.
Abhishek drank the last sip of his cold coffee and said, "koi ni. Waise bhi ab toh mulaqat hoti hi rahegi."
"Aur nehi toh kya!" Nonu added.
Kreya smiled. Although they couldn’t see her smile but they could feel it as her eyes got little while smiling. Beautiful eye smile.
There was a moment of silence before Abhishek extended his hand towards her, "Friends?"
Kreya looked at his hand and then at him and then at Nishchay and finally accepted his hand and said, "Friends."
Time skips,
At Abhishek's room,
At night,
Abhishek was taking out his phone out of his trouser's pocket when the picture of Kreya fell down. He didn’t notice but Nishchay did. He picked up the picture and turned the picture around.
"Abbey, yeh kiski photo hai." Nishchay couldn’t recognise the girl. Abhishek turned around and tried to snatch the picture and of course, Nishchay was the big brother, he knew more tricks than Abhishek.
"Abbey, bata. Warna mummy ko bulata hu. Mummyyy...." Nishchay shouted.
"Aree yaar ruk jaa. Kreya ka hai." Abhishek said stooping his brother from calling their mother into this matter.
"Kreya hai yeh? Par kuchh.....waise thoda milta hai. Humne toh waise bhi kaha dekha hai. Par sab chhod uske photo tere paas kya karrahi hai. Aur yeh pic dekhke lagraha hai kisi ne jaan bujhkar yeh picture ko kaat dali."
Abhishek explained his brother how she found the photo.
