Third person's pov!
Abhay drove into the parking slot of Green Leaf. It was already twenty minutes past seven. They were supposed to meet at seven, but just as they were about to step out of the house, little Kriti soiled her dress by pulling the juice glass Siddhu was holding, thus pouring the juice all over herself and Siddhu.
"Come on.." Abhay said, turning to look at Vaiga and Kriti.
Together, they walked towards the restaurant entrance. Just as they were about to enter, Abhay's phone rang. He looked at the phone screen and realised that it was a work call.
"Vaiga, you go inside. They are already here. I just need to attend this call. I will be quick." Abhay said.
"Okay.." Vaiga smiled and walked into the restaurant, with a happy Kriti in her arms.
Inside the restaurant, the other two couples were already waiting.
"Why are they getting late?" Drishti asked impatiently.
"They have a baby too. They can't just come freely like we do, Drishti." Shravan said.
"Kriti is a little baby. How long would it take to get her ready?" Drishti asked and Chaahat chuckled.
"Since she is a little baby, it would take longer." Chaahat said.
"Yeah. Abhay shared the details of his first day alone with Kriti. She is cute to look at from afar, but she is a handful. She kept him on toes the whole day." Mithran said with a chuckle.
"She was taking revenge for ignoring her all these months." Drishti said cheekily.
"Chances are high.." Mithran said with a chuckle.
"There, Vaiga and Kriti are coming.." Shravan pointed towards the restaurant entrance. A few feet behind her, Abhay was also coming.
"They are still walking apart. How long would it take for them to give each other a chance?" Drishti asked, huffing in annoyance.
"It's their relationship. Let them go at their own pace. We did enough interference by getting them married against their wishes. Now stay back and let them live their life on their own terms." Shravan said in a warning tone, because he could already see that some disastrous plan was forming in Drishti's head.
"Oh please! We stayed back long enough. It's time for action. How about we mix some s*x inducing drugs for two of them?" Drishti asked excitedly. Shravan and Chaahat looked at her in horror.
"Oh my! Is that how you got this good boy into bed, Drishti?" Mithran asked cheekily.
"Oh please! I don't need any drugs for that. I just have to smile and he will be begging for some action.." Drishti said haughtily, making Mithran laugh out aloud and Shravan glare at her in embarrassment.
"If you don't shut up, I will mix some sleep-inducing drugs for you.." Shravan hissed at her and Drishti flew a kiss at him, making him more embarrassed.
"Hey.. Sorry we got a bit late. Kriti gave us a last minute task.." Abhay said as he explained what happened just before they were about to leave.
"No problem. We already placed the orders for starters." Chaahat said with a smile.
As they settled in, Drishti hugged Vaiga, trying to annoy Kriti. Knowing how possessive Kriti was of Vaiga, she leaned on Vaiga's shoulder. Instantly, Kriti's chubby little fists curled around Drishti's silky hair and pulled hard, making Drishti squeal in pain. Kriti was ferociously glaring at Drishti, still pulling her hair.
"What was the need to annoy the baby? Isn't it enough that you annoy me day and night?" Shravan asked sarcastically as he helped free Drishti's hair.
Kriti looked around curiously, babbling in her own language.
