At Dixit House

As Dev walked down the stairs after freshening up the scene in front of him warmed his heart, his family was seated on the dining table chatting & pulling each other's leg as they waited for him to join them for lunch. As he made his way towards them his grandmother was the first to see him.

"Arey Tilu, aa gaya tu" said his grandmother Nirmala (henceforth addressed as Dadi)

Dev bent down and touched his grandmother's feet as she blessed him "Dadi, ab main bada ho gaya hoon aur ek company ka MD hoon ab toh aap mujhe Tilu mat bulaiye" said Dev getting irritated though secretly he liked how his grandmother addressed him as it showed her love but then it would give his sisters the chance to pull his leg.

"Beta, Tu kitna bhi bada ho jaye mere liye toh hamesha mera chota sa Tilu hi rahega" said his dadi lovingly as she caressed his cheek and as if on que his sisters spoke together "Haan kitna accha naam toh hai, Tilu bhaiyaa" they giggled as Dev glared at them.

"Khabar daar, Jo mere potey ko sataya toh. Usey Tilu sirf main bulaungi. Samajh gayi tum dono" said Dadi to Riya & Nikki as the whole family laughed out loud except Dev who sat down in anger. Seeing his anger everybody suddenly kept quiet but very moment Dev burst out laughing hysterically seeing the scared expressions of his family members as they joined him in his laughter.

"Arey kis baat pe has rahe ho aap sab?" as everyone turned around they saw Avni walking in with Ranveer asking them the reason for their laughter.

Every Sunday these two used to join the Dixits for their lunch as they used to stay alone. While Ranveer's family who were also the Family friends of the Dixits stayed in Kanpur because of his father's business Avni was an orphan, she had lost her parents in a train accident when she was 6 years old and then her grandparents who where quite old could not take care of her, worried for her future they left her in an orphanage "ZINDAGI", the orphanage that Ishwari handled. It was here that Dev had first met her and instantly they had become the best of friends and with Ranveer these three formed the three musketeers right from their childhood. Dev had insisted both to stay with the Dixits, but they refused. While Ranveer reasoned his irregular work hours as a pilot for not staying with them Avni wanted to stay at the Orphanage, it held a lot of memories for her and being with the kids gave her a sense of purpose to do well in her life and do something for the kids. Respecting their decision, the Dixits had agreed but on the condition that every Sunday both would join them for lunch.

"Avni Didi, wo Dadi bhaiya ko Tilu bula rahi thi aur bhaiya apna muh phulake baithey huey they toh usi baat pe hass rahe they hum" replied Nikki as both Avni & Ranveer chuckled while Dev frowned at them.

"Arey Avni ye tum apna Office bag aur laptop saath main kyun layi ho" this time Rajeev asked her as he saw Avni with her work bag.

"Kya karoon Uncle Ye aapka Beta mujhsey Sunday ke din bhi kaam karwa raha hai, isi ki wajah se mujhey ye sab yahan lana pada" complained Avni as Dev glared at her.

"Matlab?" Rajeev asked turning towards Dev.

"Wo Papa, kal hum apney Mumbai headquarters jaa rahe hai naa. Usi ke silsile main mujhey kuch cheezay finalize karni thi toh usi ke silsiley main mainney Avni ko yeh files laaney ko kaha tha" Dev replied looking sheepishly at his mother because he knew what was about to come.
