In the evening,

Author's Pov

Ananya and Ridhima were present in the living room talking about their upcoming college fest. Ishaan and Karthik were talking about business. Bua was also present there.

Rajveer walks in there. He sits down beside Bua, his eyes landed on Ananya and Ridhima. "So, I hear you two are planning something big for the college fest?"

Ridhima smiles mischievously, "Yes, Ananya is the head of the decoration committee. We are very involved this year"

"Make sure that doesn't affect your studies" He turns to Ishaan and Karthik, changing the subject. "Have you two finalized the plans for the business deal? I expect to see some progress soon"

Ishaan spoke, "don't worry it's done already" Karthik nodded in agreement.

They stopped when they saw Chachi descending downstairs angrily and Chacha ji trailing behind her. "Please listen to me" He said and held her wrist. She jerked his hand back and yelled out "Go to hell!"

The argument catches everyone's attention.
"What happened Chachi?" Ishaan asked.

When she didn't reply anything, he looked at his Chacha, "what's the matter?"

Chacha hesitated trying to maintain his composure despite the tension. He glances at Chachi, who's glaring daggers at him. "She asked me to give an honest answer about how she's looking.....and"

Chachi interrupted. "And he said I'm looking like a clown with so much makeup" Others burst out laughing. Even bua can't help but smile.

Ishaan controlled his laugh. "I'm sorry but Chachu is that a way to compliment your wife?"

Chachi ji's face turns red with a mix of anger and embarrassment. She crosses her arms, trying to defend herself. "That's not a compliment that's an INSULT on my face!"

Chacha ji turned her back to him. Chacha ji ran his hand through his hair, "Look at me please" she shook her head. "No!"

He held her shoulders and made her look at him, "What I meant was I prefer your face without makeup. You don't need one"

"Stop buttering" she scoffed.

"It's the truth my natural beauty" Finally she blushed.

"Look natural blush suits you better!" He lifted her chin and smiled at her. "Ahem! Ahem!" Others cleared their throat. He stepped back and winked at her.

Meanwhile, Alok sits in his room, his patience wearing thin. When Vedika finally emerges from the closet, looking absolutely enchanting, his eyes widen in surprise and admiration. "Vedika..." Vedika's beauty takes his breath away, and Alok can't help but dramatize his reaction, placing both his hands on his chest and feigning a heart attack. "You're trying to kill me, aren't you? With your beauty?"

She shook her head in disbelief, "Have you seen your age still being a flirt!"

Alok grins at her teasing remark, his eyes sparkling with mischief. He stands up and walks closer to her, his voice low and playful. "And you're still as beautiful as the day I married you. Maybe even more, with that fiery spirit of yours"

She rolled her eyes. "Let's go downstairs, everyone's waiting" she walks past him, He pouts dramatically following her to the door, he mutters playfully "you're just going to dismiss me like that?"

********

"Okay, so everyone is here" Vedika glances around. "Your precious daughter-in-law is missing" Chachi remarks.
