(Well, as I am a Bangladeshi and a person of different religious belief, I am unaware of Hindu cultural festivals. Thanks to Indian Television Series, I know about a few festivals a little bit. So think it is time of holi and bear with me. Thank you.)
Time skips, Some days later, The day before Holi,
Kreya and her father were sitting in the drawing room watching TV while Kreya was shaping her nails too. Raka's phone started ringing. The screen showed 'Yaara calling'. Raka eyed her asking who was the person calling.
"Vinay uncle." Kreya said as she passed the phone to her father.
Raka picked up the call, "Aur bhai kya hal hai?"
*gap gap gap*
"Raat ko? Holika dehen mein? Areey bhai zaroor aayenge. Kyun nehi aayenge?" Raka said before cutting the call.
"Kya kehrahe the?" kreya asked wanting to know.
"Holika dehen ke liye bula rahe the. " Raka replied.
Kreya made an 'o' face.
At night,
Kreya got ready for the holika dehen.

"Papa chalein?" Kreya said to her father. "Arey vai jayenge abhi toh time bhi nehi hua hai jaane ke. Itna jaldi kyun? Itni khush kyun lagrahi hai. Tujhe toh holi pasand bhi nehi thi zyada." Raka asked teasing.
Kreya fake coughed trying to make up an excuse. "Main aur khush? Kyun ap khush nehi hai mujhe khush dekhke?" Kreya counter attacked.
Raka chuckled and walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her. Kreya also rested her head on his shoulder. "Tu khush hoti toh mujhse zyada khush kaun hota hai, haa? Mujhe thoda time do...main ready hoke aata hu." Raka said as she nod.
"Aap ready hote rahe main bahar niche hu. Bahar bohat accha hawa chalraha hai." Kreya said.
"Thik hai." Raka said.
Time skips,
Walking along the road alone and enjoying herself, Kreya almost reached in front of the Malhan Mansion. She was on the same road. She was walking when suddenly some guy held her eyes from behind. After a moment, he let go of her eyes. Kreya turned around and saw one boy and one girl. She hugged them both but mostly was hugging the boy not knowing a pair of eyes were watching her being jealous. Even though, her face was covered with mask like always but that pair of eyes could feel her happiness even after standing so away from her.
Kreya's side,
"Tum log yaha? Kaise? Kab? Maasi kaha hai? Mujhe kyun nehi bataya? Main lene aa jati." Kreya said all of them in one go.
"Areyy baass...kitna bolti ho di? Hum yaha kyun ki surprisee...apke maasi apke papa sath aarahe hai. Aur aapko batati toh surprise kaise rehta?" The girl said.
