As it was already time for lunch, all of them came down from the study room and started taking their places around the dinning table.

Being the greatest fan boy in the history, Cabir dutifully sat beside Ajey.

Along with the servants, Nandini and Navya were busy in serving the food.

Initiating a conversation, Nandini proposed "Nyo mom...I was thinking ki kyon naa hum iss good news ko celebrate karne ke liya kuch special kare???..maybe a small party???"

Navya also added "even I was thinking the same!!!...aur toh aur Sia aunty aur Jai uncle bhi aapne family ke saath aaj raat ke liye yahi ruk jaenge....if they don't have any other plans!!!!"

Nyonika acknowledged "idea bura nehi hai!!!...tum bacchein aapne hisab se party kar lena..aur humlog terrace pein baith ke gappe laada lenge...what do you think Sia????"

Taking a moment, Sia replied "hum logo ki kal subha 11 baaje ki flight hai...yaha se agar 7 baaje ko bhi niklenge toh araam se airport pohach sakte hai!!!...toh...ruk jaenge aaj raat..koi dikat wali baat hi nehi hai!!!"

Mukti exclaimed with joy "wow that's great...so it's decided...aap log terrace pein aapna party karna ...and we youngsters can have a barbaecue night...what say guys!!!"

An elated Cabir bellowed "sounds great...I am up for it!!!"

Teasing him, Navya remarked "khane ka naam sunnte hi Cabir hamesha line mein first hota hai!!!"

Making a bad face at Navya, Cabir mouthed "whatever!!!!". While others giggled.

Everyone was busy in having some sort of conversation among themselves. But Ajey's center of attraction was the person sitting exactly opposite to him on the otherside of the table and that was none other than Malar herself.

Since the time Ajey laid his eyes on Malar, he figured out that she was not much of a talker.

Sitting between Manik and Maahi, Malar patiently chewed the vegetables one by one.

Anyone could make out from the look on Malar's face that she detested vegetables.

Malar was engrossed in dealing with her ordeal, when she found Maahi poking her hand.

Offering Maahi a glance, Malar raised her eyebrows as if she was asking 'what happened???'

Giving a sad expression, Maahi looked at her plate first and then at Malar.

Sighing a bit, Malar blinked her eyes as if assuring something.

And the next minute, Maahi stealthily emptied the contents of her plate in Malar's without getting noticed by anyone.

Once the deed was done, Maahi gave a broad smile at Malar. But, Malar gave her a fake smile.

For whole five minutes Malar gawaked at her plate full of vegetables with regret.

Unable to bear the tortuer, Malar finally turned to her last resort.

Turning to her left hand side, Malar gave a tug at Manik's shirt sleeve.

Straight away she had Manik's undivided attention.

Malar unhappily looked at her plate and then at Manik.

Taking the cue, Manik started eating the vegetables from her plate.

Manik was so confidently eating the food from Malar's plate while talking with others, that no one could catch him.

Being the sole observer of the whole situation, Ajey found it really amusing.

But Ajey himself was caught redhanded by Malar, who found him satring at her.

As their eyes locked, Ajey felt guilty, while Malar was embarrassed.

Placing index finger on her lips, Malar signalled Ajey to keep quiet about her little shenenaigan. While Ajey nodded his head agreeing to keep it a secret.

To come out of the awkawardness, Malar cheerfully flashed her teeths at Ajey, which he happily reciprocated.

Yash who was seated beside Ajey commented "aise agar akele akele pagaloon ke tarah hasegana...toh I bet...Malar tujhe aapna pati nehi...balki patient baanaegi!!!"

That sentence was enough to bring Ajey back to Earth from his lala land.

Once done with lunch, everyone dispersed.

Occupying a sofa in the living room, Malar was engaged in her mobile, when Nandini approached her.

Nandini politely requested "Malar woh ek chhota sa favour chahiye tha!!!!...."

Keeping aside her mobile, Malar urgerd "ji kahiye bhabhi"

Nandini disclosed "darasal saare chefs dinner ke preparation mein laage hue hai!!!!...toh main unnhe aur pareshaan nehi karna chahti thi...issliye dessert ke liye paas wale bakery mein order de diya...bass usski delivery lene jaana hai ...kya tum jaake woh cake le aa sakti ho please???..."

Malar affirmed "ji bhabhi main abhi jaake leke ati hu!!!!"

Getting a bit sceptical, Nandini questioned "tum akele jaa paogi kya???"

Nodding her head, Malar confirmed "main driver uncle ke saath chali jaungi naa bhabhi...aap chiil karo!!"

Manik who entered the living room with the trio, after giving them a tour of the house queried "kaun kaha jaa raha hai bhai???"

Answering Manik, Nandini stated "arrey woh paas wali bakery se cake laana tha...issliye Malar se pouch rahi thi ki woh akele manage kar paegi ki nehin....after all usske liye toh yeh naya seher hai naa!!!"

Manik immdeaitely insisted "akele kyon???....Yash, Ajey aur Tanmay usske saath chale jaenge naa!!!"

Turning towards the trio, Manik sought "kyon tum teeno ko koi problem toh nehin hai naa???"

Seeing this as an gold opportunity to set Ajey's love story, Tanmay declared "darsal lunch karne ke baad mujhe aur Yash ko thode waqt ke liye rest chahiye hi hota hai...issliye hum toh nehi jaa sakte...par Ajey hai..woh chala jaega naa Malar ke saath!!!...kyon Ajey jaega naa???"

Nodding his head Ajey readily agreed "haan bilkul...mujhe koi problem nehin hai...chalo chalte hai!!!"

Nandini concluded "phir toh koi dikat nehin hai..Ajey Malar ke saath cake laane chala jaega!!!"

Picking up her mobile from the sofa, Malar cordially said "toh phir humlog bakery se ho ate hai!!!"

Saying this Ajey and Malar started walking towards the main door. While Yash and Tanmay mentally waved at Ajey as if his Bidaai ceremony was going on.

Ajey and Malar were about to step out of the house, when they heard a voice crying out "Masiiiiiiii"

Turning around Malar found Maahi running towards her.

As Maahi reached her, Malar picked her up and enquired "kya hua masi ki jaan??"

A panting Maahi demanded "masi aap mujhe chhod ke kaha jaa rahe ho???"

Adjusting the locks falling on Maahi's face, Malar lovingly answered "main cake lene paas wale bakery jaa rahi hu...aap chaloge kya humare saath???"

Maahi instantly agreed "haan...main bhi chalungi masi!!!"

Once it was decided that Maahi would also accompany them, Ajey and Malar set out for the bakery shop. While Tanmay and Yash could not stop themselves from mumbling "KABAB MEIN HADDI"
