It's dinner time and the servants are arranging the dining table when they hear the doorbell.

"I think Sam has arrived, I'll check." Saying this Ruhanika went to open the door.

"Ruhii Didi!" Parinidhi excitedly exclaimed and jumped on her.

"Aram se pari." She chuckled and patted her back.

"Mera welcome nahi karogi?" A voice came from back, she looked there to find a smiling Samriddhi.

"Tumhara hi to intezaar tha kab se." She hugged her as well.

"Are tum log vahi rahoge kya or yaha ham bhuk se mar jayenge." Riddhima whined, They all chucked at her and sat on their chair's.

Vihaan tried to talk to Samriddhi but she Royally ignored him and sat on the chair.

The table is a beautiful chaos of dishes, adorned with steaming pots and platters.

The aroma of freshly made fragrant biryani, Butter Chicken, malai kofta and rich curries filled the air, making stomachs rumble in anticipation.

Devaansh was shocked to see this much food that too made by her he didn't expect that she can cook.

Seated at the head of the table was Dadaji, as he eyed the dishes. To his right, Dadiji was already scolding everyone for starting without washing their hands properly, even though she herself had a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

"Arrey, wait! We must begin with the kheer today." she announced, looking pointedly at her granddaughter, who was trying to sneak a spoonful of pickle onto her mouth.

"Ruhi, you can't just eat pickle alone! Have some proper food first." Ruhanika pouted but complied, taking a bit of rice and curry.

"Dadi, can we eat kheer at last? I want to eat pickle first." Before Dadi could respond, Sameer piped up.

"Ruhi, you know you can't handle spicy food! Remember last week when you turned red like a tomato after one bite of my green chili?" The table erupted in laughter. Ruhanika shot Sameer with a playful glare.

"Well, at least I don't cry watching horror movies, bhai. Should I remind everyone of your little episode with the 'ghost' in the storeroom?" Sameer's face flushed as everyone laughed louder.

"That was just once, okay? And it was really dark there!"

Samriddhi decided to join in the fun.

"Adi bhai, don't worry, even I get scared sometimes. But I handle it better than you, obviously. Do you want me to tell them about the time you thought the lizard in the bathroom was a monster?" Sameer threw a spoon at Samriddhi, who dodged it expertly.

"You're all mean." He muttered, though a smile was tugging at his lips.

Dadaji, chuckling, interjected.

"Alright, enough teasing the boy. Let's talk about something else. Pari, how's your dance class going?"

Parinidhi's eyes lit up.

"Oh, it's going great, Nanu! We're preparing for a big performance next month. You all should come watch!"

Aditya smirked.

"Just make sure you don't trip over your own feet like last time, Pari. Remember that?" He mimicked a stumbling dance move, eliciting giggles from everyone.

Parinidhi rolled her eyes but laughed along.

"Yes, yes, I remember. I've gotten much better since then, you'll see!"
