"Welcome Sir! Welcome Mam, thank you so much for coming."

Mr. Grover, Singhnia's industries CEO and the host of the party greeted Rey and Taani along with patting Ansh who greeted them too. Rey thanked them while Taani smiled politely,

"Happy Lohri Mr. Grover, here."

Taani wished him and his family before presenting him the gifts she brought, thanking taarey the host invited them in and introduced to the guests. Mr. Grover's wife told Taani looking at her appreciatively,

"You are looking beautiful Mam!"

"So do you!"

Taani smield politely before joining the ladies there along with Ansh, Rey settled in a business convo with the others n the party but in between he made sure to keep a look on TaaAnsh to see if they are okay. Soon Taai and Mrs. Grover joined them and she said to Rey and her husband,

"Aaj to business rehne dijiye, lohri ka din ahi or inn dono ki pehli lohri bhi."

The group laughed before Rey stood beside Taani and took Ansh so that she can walk comfortably in her attire, Mr. Grover complimented them,

"Vese sir mam, aap dono ek sath bahot ache lag rahe hai, just a made for each other couple."

Taarey thanked them politely when Mrs. Grover called all of them that it's time to lit up the bonfire for lohri. The family memebers did while the dhol started playing in background, the newly weds and other couples started taking rounds of the fire throwing pop corns, peanuts and jiggery in the fire along with puffed rice. Taarey were looking when Mrs. Grover asked them,

"Aap dono ye ritual kyu nahi karte, newly weds ke liye bahot hi zyada auspicious hoti hai."

Taarey looked at each other for a second before Rey asked,

"Umm karna kya hota hai."

She explained smiling,

"Kuch nahi bas ye eateries ko bonfire ke rounds lete hue usme throw karna hota hai. It's simple."

Taarey nodded and started taking the rounds of fire too while Ansh was still in Rey's arm. Taani gave him some stuff too in his small hand and then threw in the fire, Ansh's eyes lit up but they backed off soon as the heat was getting too much for Ansh. And the fire was blazing slowly so they took him a little far from the fire. Everyone sat in circle and groups chatting and eating stuff, Taani was making Ansh eat while Rey was standing two-three feets far talking to people when an old lady sitting near Taani asked in punjabi,(Sorry guys I know just limited Punjabi, if I am wrong forgive me and do correct me if I pronounce any sentence wrong)

"Tera beta to bahot hi sona hai, ki naam si iska?"

Taani smield widely,

"Ji, Ansh!"

"Vadda pyaara naam si, or tu bhi to kinni soni hai. Kispe gaya hai?"

Taani smiled widely glancing at Rey who was still talking but he could ehar everything, he smiled when the lady praised Taani and Ansh,

"Ji, apne dad pe gaya hai. Bilkul unka copy hai."

The old lady smiled saying,

"Accha, par lagda to apni maa da beta hai, tujhse hi chipka hai."

Taani giggled kissing Ansh and embracing him tightly,

"Hanji, mera beta hai, mujhse sabse zyada pyaar karta hai. Haina Ansh?"
