The next morning, there was a knock at the door of Nischay's room shared with his father. He was fast asleep and the knocking continued.

N/d woke up and got up from the bed, looking at his son who was sleeping peacefully on the floor, thinking "iss ladke ka apni neend se kuch nahi ho sakta."

N/d opened the door and Anshika's parents were standing outside with a big hamper in Gayatri's hands

N/d opened the door and Anshika's parents were standing outside with a big hamper in Gayatri's hands.

N/d (with surprise): Harikishen bhai, aap yaha kaise?

A/d: Woh humein aap sabse ek zaroori baat thi. Aur haa Nischay se bhi.

N/d: Achha theek hai. Main abhi isse dekhta hoon.

A/m: Theek hai bhaisaab.

Just as they were leaving, they heard a low feeble sound coming from inside the room. They turned and saw Nischay sleeping on the floor holding his pillow with a smile on his face, calling out Anshika's name once and it seemed as if he was probably dreaming about her.

Harikishen looked at Gayatri and with a known exchanged look, an impish smile spread across their faces at the corner of their lips.

N/d looked at them and was feeling a whole embarrassed and uncomfortable, sweat dripping down his face as a result of the discomfort.

N/d: Ek minute rukiye zara aap dono.

He went towards Nischay and shook his shoulder to wake him up but instead, the latter pushed his hand away.

Nish (in a sleepy voice): Sone do naa papa aur mujhe aur Anshika ko pareshaan mat karo.

N/d turned around and noticed Harikishen's sneaky smile and he kicked Nischay's legs.

This woke him up (finally😆) and he got up from the floor, not being able to open his eyes properly. But he did see Harikishen and Gayatri standing outside in his drowsy state.

Nish: Main koi sapna dekh raha hoon shayad ke Anshika ke parents humare ghar aaye hai humse milne🥱

N/d went towards him and whispered in his ears,

N/d: Beta, yeh sach mein Anshika ke parents hi hai aur tu koi sapna nahi dekh raha.

Hearing this, Nischay got over his drowsiness and his eyes widened up in utter surprise. This time, he could clearly see them and Harikishen was looking at him with a sheepish smile.

Nish (awkwardly): Umm good morning.

A/d: Good morning indeed🙃

N/d: Aap dono humare living room mein jaa sakte hai. Hum dono just abhi aa rahe hai.

A/m: Achha theek hai bhaisaab. Chaliye ji.
