The next day, Maanu and I ride to the Shekhawat villa. While in the taxi we discuss a few ideas but do not finalize anything without seeing the venue.

When we neared the black gates of a mansion, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It is beautiful, the house is beige in color, with double entry doors and a fountain on the side. The iron railings and palm trees accentuate its beauty. In all this house is breathtakingly beautiful.

Maanu and I exit the cab and pay the driver. Even though the cab went away, we kept gawking at the house.

At that moment, the double front doors open and Mrs.Shekhawat appear dressed elegantly. When she approaches with a smile and welcome us in, I realized how beautiful she is inside out. "You have a beautiful house, Mrs. Shekhawat," I say following her inside and taking a glimpse at her interior.

"Oh please, call me Pallavi, and thank you. This place is very special to me and Lakshay. Because here we became a family. " she expresses with a smile and love in her eyes.

We pass the sitting area in the living room towards the end of the hall, entering the patio,  which is the best part of the house. As much as I have seen. She asks us for coffee or tea. And then after having a cup of tea we start discussing the theme.

As we are discussing, There enters an adorable 3-year-old. She is so shy that she saunters in and stands behind her mother's bench.

"Hi," I say to her. She flushes crimson red,  causing me to go aww.  It is so cute. Her mother then said "Pari come here and say hello to our guests" she didn't move from her place but is examining everything on the table in front of us.
"Pari, is there anything you want to add to your birthday party?" Maanu asks her.

"Pink Balloons, "she announces excitingly. I smile and noted it down. "And chocolates " she adds with a big smile.

Maanu and I chuckle because we know there's no birthday party without chocolates.

As we are discussing the details, Pallavi is called to attend a phone call, she excuses herself and leaves to attend the call. I stand up and gradually approach the little fairy, who is standing quietly.

"Hi! " I let out. 

" Hello," she replies shyly.

"My name is Paakhi and she's Maanya" I point towards Maanu's direction, Who waves at her from her seat.

"I'm Parinita Shekhawat" she replies extending her small dainty hand.

I carefully shake hands with her, afraid I may hurt her.

"I got you something,"  I  announce and she looks up expectantly as I reached in my bag and pull out 2 chocolates and pass them to her. She smiles and says "Thank you" in her baby voice.

She unwraps one of them and takes a bite.

Seeing her chewing might sound creepy but at this moment I find her adorable. After a few seconds, she asks " Will you come to my birthday party? "

"But we are not invited" I voice out sadly and even make a sad face.

"No" she shouts abruptly with a look as if somebody just offended her.

"I'm inviting you, you are my new friends and Mama told me to invite all my friends to my b'day party," she announces with a look of determination on her face.  I smiled warmly at her and caress her hair softly.

"Did this little Devil annoy you ?" Mrs. Shekhawat announces walking in. 

"No, not at all, Pari is an angel," I confess passing her a smile.

Mrs.Pallavi chuckles and tugs her daughter towards her on the bench.

"I see she has got what she wanted," Mrs.Pallavi exclaim, wiping off the chocolate from the side of Pari's mouth.

I blush and ask, "I hope you don't mind," 

She laughs it off and we decided to continue our discussion.

After some time we took our leave with everything noted down and went back to our cafe.

When we enter the cafe, Maanu and I are attacked with a hug by Adi who is squealing like a maniac.

"will you stop squishing me?"Maanu asks breathlessly. 

Aditi ignores her and hugs us for a few more seconds. When she steps back, I heave in a large gust of air.

" I bagged an interview from an upscale boutique. " She declares. This time I leap forward and pull her in a hug. Maanya cheers and wraps her arms around us.

 We are still hugging when another pair of hands came around us. 

We back away a little to see who is the owner of these hands and then we see our beautiful Savita aunty (uncle Abby's wife) smiling at us.

"What's up girls?" she asks cheerfully.  Then Adi starts telling her about her job hunt. 

Maanu walks to the counter and orders us a coffee and sandwiches to eat. After talking to Aunty Savy. Adi returns to our table and we discuss Pari's birthday.

After the rush in the cafe decreases, Uncle Abby joins us and we discuss the cake and food.
