I know confusions are there regarding family. Vandana is Arjun's badi maa. And his mom is Sujatha. And Ram Sharma is his badi father. Aryan is Ayaan only.

"Arjun" He heard someone calling him, he sighed and hid his head under the pillow. "Please close the curtain" He said sheepishly, while sleeping. "I already closed it" Arjun daze broke out hearing Maya reply. "What the time?", he asked her, sitting on the bed seeing her already ready. "It's 7:30 A.M", she spoke softly, and put kumkum on her forehead. "Hereafter, I would drop Yash to School", she told him softly. "Is that information or permission", He asked eyeing her. "Don't I have rights over Yash", she asked him diverting the topic. "It's not like that Maya", he said convincing her, he just asked her casually. There was no hidden meaning in that. He liked Maya take caring Yash. It made him sometime free from the mental stress he have over Yash.
'Maya'

'Do he called me Maya?' 'Maya' It didn't felt like nice before to her, her name. But hearing her name from him, it brought a smile to her face. 'Maya' She told herself a time, it was not sounding like how he told. Sweet and Cute.

"Are you okay", he asked her standing from the bed. "Yes", she replied happily. He smiled at her and went to bathroom.

'He smiled at me. Don't he? He smiled at me. Me!!. I think he is changing. He is concerning for me. Oh my god! I am happy at last he is recognizing me anyway. At least, this way'

She set the bed and arranged the bedsheet, Arjun came out of the bathroom drying off his hair with towel. "Where is yash?"
"Arjun. He is in hall."
"Okay. Is food ready", he inquired, as he put on his tie with so much effort. She nodded her head and went out to see whether Yash is ready.
"Yash beta", she called him lovingly, noticing he trouble Vandana. "Dadi. I won't drink this" he sulked, pushing the milk glass she offered. His eyes turned to his mother who had called him a time before, "Mumma" he called her lovingly with a cheekily smile. She strode to him, and knelt to his level. "Why are you not drinking this beta?" She asked him, caressing his hair. "It had no taste", he complained and pouted seeing Vandana standing with still holding the glass. "Give that to me badi maa", she said, brought the glass to her. "So I would give you tasteful milk", she said happily. He beamed at her and asked musing, "But how?"
"That's magic", she said with the glint in her eyes. She picked Rose syrup and poured two spoon in the glass and shrieked the bottle. "Ai. Rose milk" he squealed happily, jumping on his chair excitedly. "Yes. So My son like Rose milk", she asked him raising her brows. "Yes", he replied beaming at her, and drank the milk in one sip.
"How is that?"
"Super. Yummy" he squeaked, his voice witnessed how rapturous he was. "You forget me" They heard a husky voice, and turned to the owner the voice. "Pappa" he said excitedly, running to him. He knelt on his level and picked in his arms hugged him happily. "You forget me", he whined like a baby. "Nahi." Yash protested giving a innocent look. "You look so good", he complemented his father. "Oh now only you're finding me good", he complained sadly, turning his face away.
Maya smiled seeing the father-Son scenario, "how could I forget you?", Yash asked innocently blinking his eyes. "Then where is my kiss champ?" He questioned him giving fake glare. "Oops", he gave out a sorry look and kissed his father on cheeks. Arjun smiled at yash and kissed him back on the cheeks. "Happy" Yash asked him gleefully and hugged her father once again. "Food is ready" Maya announced him, he shook his head and started eating his food.

They are having food in the lunch time. It was sunday, after Maya arrival. They are having food together, even Jhanvi Maya mother had visited them today. "Food is good" Jhanvi maa said tasting a spoon of Kheer. "Maya cooked today", Vandana said gleefully. "Is it?" She asked curiously not hiding her happiness. "Maa" Maya called her. "You never cooked in our home", She reminded her, making everyone gaze turn to Maya. "You don't know how to turn on Stove?", She said making Maya glare at her mother. "Mom" She chided him, everyone laughed at her. She pouted at them having everyone attention turned on her.
Arjun smiled at her with his face viewing the plate. "Having fun without me", they heard a man voice on the main hall. It felt familiar voice to them.
"Aryan" Vandana said shocked, seeing him with his baggage. "Chachu" Yash ran to him leaving the dining hall and hugged him happily. "Hey champ" He squealed in enjoyment, picking him in his arms. "Aryan how is you?" Maya asked him when she entered the hall. "Maya" he said happily with a friendly smile. "Aryan. She is your bhabhiji. Call her bhabhi.
She is your brother's wife" Vandana reminded him giving him a glare. "Maa. He is my friend and next only he is my devar" Maya supported him. She moved to his side and hugged him. He reciprocated her, putting his arms around her shoulder.
"So happy" he whispered in her ears only audible to her. She nodded her head and broke the hug. "At last, you married him. Your crush" He said her winking at him. Arjun entered the place on correct time hearing him, he looked at her. She blushed at his comment.
So Aryan know her love on me all this while.
"Aryan" his teasing stopped as he heard his brother called me. "Bhai" He said shortly "You are here." He persuaded, looking at him."Bhai. I had one week leave", he replied and hugged his brother. "I missed you bhai" He confessed breaking his hug. "Even I too missed you" He replied him facing his family. "Ramu kaka. Please settle Aryan luggage" Arjun ordered and moved to his room. Before he leave, he saw Maya and Aryan talking with each other. She beamed at him. She never smiles at me like this.
"So how is plan going? ", he enquired her, as he settled himself in the sofa. She sat beside him, "Shhh. No one know that" she stopped him, putting her finger on his lips. She smacked his arms playfully. "It's surprise" she whispered to him. Arjun stepped on the last stair, and saw her playing with Aryan. She was always been Aryan friend. They are 17 years friends. They know each other very well. But seeing her close to him made him feel something. Something that made him a new feel.
