Shivaye hugged Maya and Abhimanyu as soon as he met them.
Shivaye : It's been so long, guys!
Abhimanyu : We know bro. Let's catch up during lunch. I'm so hungry after the flight.

While hugging Maya, Shivaye noticed the dark circles under her eyes. Her pale face was quite evident, indicating she needed to catch on some sleep, badly. He looked at Abhimanyu for an answer.
Abhimanyu : She is experiencing a jet lag. She'll be fine soon.
Shivaye : By the way, meet my fiancé.
Anika( smiled ) : Hello! I'm Anika. Nice to meet you.

Abhimanyu gave her a warm hug and got a glare from Shivaye in return. Abhimanyu chuckled at Shivaye's possessiveness.

Maya ( warmly ) : Hello! I'm Maya. His name is Abhimanyu. We are Shivaye's friends.
Abhimanyu : I never imagined that my boy would be getting married one day.
Shivaye ( chuckled ) : You're talking like my dad.
Maya(glanced at Shivaye) : I'm glad he has finally found the 'one'.
Shivaye ( smiled at Anika) : I'm also glad that I've found her.

Mrs Oberoi  : Hey kids ! The table has been set. Let's eat before the food gets cold.

During lunch,

Mrs Oberoi  : I made all of your favourite dishes. I made a lot so eat as much as you want.
Abhimanyu : Thank you so much Mrs Oberoi . You are the sweetest and the most kindest lady ever.
Anurag : And you are the most cringey flirt ever.
Abhimanyu ( winked ) : It's not wrong to appreciate beautiful women. Admiring 'beauties' is my hobby. Am I wrong Mrs Oberoi ?

Mrs Oberoi  blushed at his statement while Anurag laughed. Abhimanyu looked at Anurag with a quizzical look.
Abhimanyu : What's so funny ?
Anurag(chuckled) : Don't forget you are talking to Mr Oberoi 's 'woman'. If dad comes to know, you'll be admiring potholes for the rest of your life.
Abhimanyu (scoffed): Tsk...tsk..Possessiveness runs in the blood of Oberoi family.
Mrs Oberoi  : Don't mind him, Rudra. I'm seeing you after such a long time. Let me pour you some more juice.
Anurag ( whispered to Anika) : Mom dotes on Rudra more than her own sons.
Mrs Oberoi  ( glared ) : I heard that.

Anurag quickly went back to eating while Anika laughed at the scene. She could feel the warmth of the family and it made her happy from inside. Shivaye noticed the genuine smile on Anika's face and it made him happy too. He glanced at her for a while until Anika looked at him, and he had to look away. Everyone noticed it but chose to remain quiet so that Shivaye and Anika could have their moment until.....

Anurag : Bro, stop staring at Anika like that. It's creepy. Everyone is staring at you.

Everyone got internally dismayed at Anurag's wrong timing and Rudra had a good laugh over it.

Anurag ( confused ) : Why are you laughing?
Abhimanyu ( tried to control his laugh ) : You won't understand, kiddo.
