The next evening, everyone was busy having family talks. Raghav and his family were back home for the weekend, so Raghav, Rahul, and Aditya were engaged in a discussion about office matters.
Meanwhile, both the ladies were engrossed in their own conversation, treating each other like sisters and sharing everything.
Avi and Aarav were playing basketball in the backyard, and Ania was busy watching reels on her phone, resting her head on Aditya's lap.
"Kab pohanchna hai sabne?" Divya asked her husband.
"Adhe aik ghante tak," Raghav replied, and she nodded.
"Bhabhi ap jain rest karein main kitchen main dekh kay aai" Nisha said.
"Nahi maine Kia rest karna aajao chalo" Divya replied.
"nahi ap aj aain hain thaki hui hoon gi jain aram karain waise bhee maine konsa akele kaam karna hai maids haain na" Nisha insisted.
"Nahi thaki hui bilkul chalo ajao," Divya said.
"Anu utho jao bahir bhai ke pass subha se phone pe lagi hui ho" Nisha chided.
"Mama, please chutti hai," Ania replied, still looking at her phone.
"Rahul isay apne tareeke se utha lo" Nisha smirked as she headed to the kitchen, and Ania shot her a look of betrayal.
"Give me the phone and go to Aarav," Rahul said firmly.
Ania looked at Aditya, hoping for support.
"Take your phone and go outside," Aditya winked, and she ran outside. Rahul shook his head, looking at Aditya.
"Avi yaar kuch last time ki tarhan ka toh nahi hoga na?" Aarav asked while dribbling the basketball.
"Aarav, that was three years ago. Mujhe nahi lagta aisa kuch hoga. Hopefully, everything will be normal," Avi replied.
"Avi bhaiya sirf bare baba ki waje se Chup hain warna woh kabhi bhee nahi aane dete" Aarav said.
"Relax hum sab hain na kuch nahi hoga," Avi said as he chased Aarav, taking the ball and moving forward to make a basket.
"Bhaiyu!" Ania called from behind.
"Ji betu?" Avi said as he made the basket.
"I'm bored," she said.
"Come let's play basketball," Avi suggested.
"Nahi ap dono lambe hain," she scoffed, and he chuckled.
"Acha phir ap Batao Kia karna hai?" Avi asked.
"Kuch nahi karna aur tum idhar aao mere sath match khatam karo ," Aarav said, knowing that whenever Ania joined their game Avi would team up with her, and they'd have to let her win.
"Football?" Avi suggested, and she nodded.
"Bhaiya ko bulaon?" she asked.
"Konse?" Aarav asked.
"Dono," she replied.
"Jao bulao" Avi said, and she dragged both of them towards the lawn.
"Jaldi teaming karain!" she said.
"Wohi purani aur ye beech ki billi," Aarav said, and they all laughed except Ania who was glaring them
"Adi bhaiya and bhai, and bhaiya and bhaiyu, aur main bhaiyu ke sath" she said, and they nodded.
"Anu, you go forward. I'll do the goalkeeping," Rahul said, not really in the mood to play, so he chose to do goalkeeping instead.
"Hamare pass aik goal hoga," Aarav said.
