Aadhya look at me firstly don't panic said Arjun.

Arjun do you know what they think about me? They think that I am a gold digger, I date you because of your money, that I'm only with you because of your wealth and status. They don't understand that we are best friends and family friends, and that our relationship is built on a foundation of love, trust, and mutual respect explained aadhya.

"Aadhya, don't worry, I have a plan. Just bring your friends to La Pinoz Pizza near your school and act like it's a celebration. I'll take care of the rest. But let's just say, it's going to be a night they'll never forget. Trust me, it's going to be big. But for now, let's keep it between us. The less they know, the better."

"Haha, you're such a tease! I can't wait to see what you have planned. Let's do this!" exclaimed Aadhya.

After their conversation, Arjun said with a sly smile, "I have a surprise for you, it'll change your mood." He got up and headed to the kitchen, where he donned an apron and began busily preparing something, his hands moving with a flourish as he hummed a tune.

As Arjun entered Aadhya's room, he instructed her to close her eyes. She obliged, her curiosity piqued. He carefully placed a plate in front of her and said, "Okay, now open your eyes!" Aadhya's eyes widened as she took in the sight of her favorite red sauce pasta, perfectly prepared and presented. Her face lit up with delight, and as she took her first bite, her eyes sparkled with joy. "It's like heaven on earth!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with wonder and gratitude, as a happy tear rolled down her cheek.

"Arjun, I had no idea you were a culinary mastermind!" Aadhya exclaimed, her eyes shining with delight. "Thank you for this incredible surprise! No one has ever surprised me like this before - your culinary skills have set a new standard! This pasta is truly a taste sensation," she gushed, her appreciation and admiration evident in her voice.

I am glad that you liked it said Arjun with a warm smile.

After Aadhya finished her pasta, they heard creaks and groans in the house, which made her jump with fright. "Arjun, did you lock the door?" she asked nervously, her voice trembling slightly as she gazed at him with wide, anxious eyes.

"No, I forgot, don't worry, I'll check who's in the house," Arjun said, but Aadhya interrupted him.

"No, Arjun, wait! I have an idea," she said, her eyes sparkling with a sudden realization.

"What is it?" Arjun asked, curiosity piqued.

But Aadhya didn't reply. Instead, she quickly grabbed her phone and dialed a number. "Pops, when are you coming home?" she asked, her voice laced with a mix of concern and relief.

"I'm already home, kiddo. I'll be in your room in a second," her pops replied.

Aadhya breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Pops. Thanks!" She ended the call and turned to Arjun. "Relax, it's just my pops. He's already home."

Arjun's tense expression eased, and they both exhaled a simultaneous sigh of relief.

After a few minutes, Anuj entered Aadhya's room to find Arjun sitting and chatting with his daughter. "Hi Arjun, you're here?" he asked, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Aadhya quickly explained, "I actually invited him, Pops. When you weren't answering my calls, I called Arjun because I needed help. I was in pain after a chair fell on my swollen foot."

Anuj's expression turned concerned. "Oh no, kiddo, are you okay?"

Aadhya reassured him, "Yes, Pops, I'm fine. Don't worry, Uncle Arjun helped me out. The doctor said it's nothing major, and I'll be fit and fine by tomorrow. Arjun even brought me medicine, which the doctor prescribed for me."

Anuj's worried expression eased, and he nodded in appreciation. "Thanks, Arjun. I appreciate your help."
