Siya's phone rang loudly, snapping her out of her thoughts as she sat in the living room, deep in contemplation. She picked up the call without glancing at the screen, assuming it was just another routine check-in from Tanya.
"Hey, Tanya," Siya greeted warmly, her voice filled with familiarity.
"Hey, baby!" Tanya's cheerful voice rang through the phone. "I've got a surprise for you! Your favorite chef sent you something special. It's on its way!" Siya's curiosity sparked. "Oh really? What did you send?"
Before Tanya could answer, the doorbell rang. Siya glanced toward the door, confused. "Hold on, Tanya. Someone's at the door."
She hurried to open it, expecting a delivery person. But what she saw next took her completely by surprise. Standing at the doorstep was Tanya herself, grinning from ear to ear and ready for a big hug.
"Tanya?!" Siya gasped, dropping her phone as she rushed to embrace her best friend. Tanya laughed, wrapping her arms around Siya tightly. "Surprise! I wanted to see the look on your face."
Purvi, hearing the commotion from the kitchen, came out to investigate. She blinked in surprise when she saw Tanya standing there.
"Tanya! When did you get back?" Purvi asked, stepping closer with a grin.
Tanya smiled mischievously as she released Siya. "I came back yesterday, but I wanted to surprise my bestie. And now that I'm here, I'm staying for a whole week to catch up!"
She gestured to a trolley bag beside her, packed to the brim with clothes. "Got a whole week to hang out with Siya." Siya's excitement bubbled over. "This is amazing! Come in, Tanya. I can't believe you're really here!"
They wasted no time and got to work preparing dinner together. The kitchen was alive with laughter, chatter, and stories from the past, filling the air with warmth and joy as they chopped vegetables and caught up.

The doorbell rang, interrupting their lively conversation. Siya wiped her hands on a towel and glanced towards the door. "That must be Papa and Bhai," she said.
Tanya, with a mischievous grin, stood up. "If it's them, I'll surprise them," she declared, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She opened the door with a flourish, revealing Virajas and Rajveer deep in conversation about something from the office. Their discussion halted as they saw Tanya standing before them, grinning widely.
Virajas's face broke into a warm smile as he handed his bag to Rajveer and pulled Tanya into a hug. "Tanya, my dear! It's so good to see you," he said affectionately. "You've gotten even more beautiful."
Tanya returned the hug, feeling a wave of nostalgia at Virajas's fatherly warmth. "Thank you, Uncle. It's great to be back."
Rajveer, a few steps behind his father, watched the reunion with a soft smile. He placed the bags on the couch and approached Tanya. "Hey, Tanya," he greeted, his voice warm but with a hint of hesitation.
