"Here, this is for you," Riddhima told Anjali, giving her a wrapped packet.
Riddhima, Anjali, and Muskaan were sitting in Anjali & Atul's room, and Riddhima was giving Anjali the presents she'd bought. Nikki was busy putting Nikumbh to sleep, and hence, wasn't a part of this little girl gang chatter that was happening.
"What's this?" Anjali asked, curious.
"I thought I'd buy you a present, Di," Riddhima replied, smiling.
"Oho, why?" Anjali asked.
"Arre, what why? Ab, I can't buy something for you? Waise, it's not really for you. It's for my lil baby," Riddhima clarified, smiling.
Anjali grinned brilliantly at that and opened the gift to see a beautiful stuffed lion, a cute onesie with unicorns printed on it and a bib that read, "Yes, I know I'm cute. Please stop staring."
"Oh! This is beautiful! Thank you so much!" Anjali exclaimed, hugging Riddhima tightly.
"Do you like it?" Riddhima asked nervously.
"I love it!" Anjali answered, still grinning.
Riddhima grinned.
It was then that Anjali noticed that the bag contained more wrapped boxes.
"Ridzy, what is this?" She asked.
Riddhima looked inside the bag, confused, and replied, "Pata nahi, Di. I didn't buy all this."
"Let's open and see na!" Muskaan cried.
"Arre, aise kaise? What if we got these by mistake?" Riddhima asked.
"Ridzy, yaar! You worry too much. We'll open and check once. We can still return all this to store if we find out it's not ours. Woh log le lenge, especially if we haven't paid for it," Muskaan joked.
"Yaar, Ridzy, I'm also very curious to know what's inside. Dekhte haina," Anjali pleaded.
Seeing the two of them gang up against her, Riddhima sighed but agreed.
Excitedly, Anjali opened the box to reveal fancy looking sneakers for babies, a cute little lab coat, a blankie and a few more t shirts and onesies.
"Awww. These are so cute! Ridzy, are you sure you didn't buy them?" Anjali asked.
"Haan, Di. I only bought those things. Not these," Riddhima replied, gesturing to the things scattered on the bed, when she looked closely at the shoes.
She instantly recognized them. Armaan had fallen in love with them at the store and had wanted to buy them, but Riddhima had refused because they were too expensive, and the baby would outgrow them quickly, so there was no use of spending so much money on them. But, seems like Armaan hadn't listened to her.
