At RM

(Kiran, Khushi, and Nikhil) 

Lavanya opened her mouth wide seeing the trio in front of her before screaming 

Lavanya: OMG ... OMG Kiddu ... (Hugging her tightly) I can't ... I can't believe that you guys are really here ... wait but Chachu said he will be late

Kiran: Yeah that's true BF will come once he finishes his works, but at any cost, we can't Miss Arnie's birthday right?

Lavanya: Yeah (Grinning) that's also right

Lavanya then hugged Khushi and waved at Nikhil. He looked at her with a sad face as she didn't hug him and she smirked at him. 

Looking at the people from top to bottom Chachi said

Chachi: Lavanya you know this (Pointing at Kiran) shoratt (Short) dress girl? and these people too who are they? (To Akash) you gone to receive Devar Ji's guest, right Akash? So where are they?

Before Lavanya can answer Akash took the situation in his arms

Akash: Mamma, let us get inside and I will introduce them. And yes, these are the guests Chachu told about and Lavanya and Arnav too, know them

Kiran: (Murmured) Oh God! Is it some court?

Dadi: Oh! Are they from America? Who are they?

Akash: Yeah Dadi this is Nikhil Ji Arnav's friend working in AR's U. S. branch. They two are Chachu's friend Kabir Ji's daughters, this is Kiran Ji completed her school and this is Khushi Ji who also completed medicine along with Lavanya

Khushi and Nikhil folded their arms in Namaste while Kiran waved at them. All nodded their head and wished them back.

But soon understanding dawned upon them as they realized this is the same people Arnav is very close with. And now they were afraid, thinking what will happen if Anjali comes to know who the guests actually are. Dadi decided to talk to Anjali before she meets them so that she will not be rude to the guests and will not affect Manav's relation with them.

Kiran heard Akash's introduction and frowned. Since she can't keep her mouth closed she said immediately making everyone chuckle at her innocence.

Kiran: Akash Bro, it is just Nikhil, Kabir, Khushi, and Kiran, why are you adding an initial 'G' for us?

Khushi: Kiddu! Shut up ... (To others) er... sorry, everyone, it is just that she is in India for the first time. I ... I will talk to her Dadi. Oops ... sorry, it just came in the flow I hope you don't feel bad if I call you like that.

Dadi: No no, its ok Bitiya, you are like my granddaughter so you can call me like that. (To Kiran) And dear, it is not 'G' it is 'Ji' added as a suffix to show our respect towards people here

Kiran just nodded her head since she was getting bored as she did not at all lived in the atmosphere covered with so many elders and also she couldn't understand most of their talks in fluent Hindi. When they settled down she was sitting beside Lavanya and both were mumbling to each other.

Kiran: Lavi, where is Arnie?

Lavanya: Not home yet

Kiran: What? But he never comes this late

Lavanya: He is like this here ... since if he comes early he will have to listen to their stupid marriage jokes

Kiran: Oh ... okay. By the way Lavi, where is Kiya's competitor?

Lavanya looked at her with a puzzled look

Kiran: That one Lavi, Arnie's proposed would-be wife. What's her name? Sheela?

Lavanya: Oh it's Sheetal Kiddu and she is not here, went out to shopping with Anjali Di

Kiran: You mean PT the Puja Thaal?

Lavanya: Yep

Dadi asked Khushi about her Dadi-Dada and she replied they are no more. Then the conversation went about her relatives which Dadi seemed to know and Nikhil too was actively giving the necessary information. Lavanya shook her head seeing her BF's efforts to impress her family.

Just then Anjali and Sheetal entered and Dadi to avoid any problems asked everyone to join in dinner. But the trio was tired from the journey so they told they wanted to freshen up before dinner, others to have their dinner and they will not mind.

Lavanya volunteered them towards the room saying she too will have dinner with them. Later during dinner, Dadi asked an angry Anjali to be calm as they were their guests now. Anjali nodded grudgingly and Sheetal who identified Khushi as the girl in Arnav's phone was very much tensed as Arnav's words from yesterday night were still ringing in her ears.

After dinner, everybody settled in living room to have a family time. Nikhil was already there and was casually talking with Akash about sports. Khushi too came towards them and Lavanya pulled her beside. Anjali even though doesn't like Khushi was talking to her as she was her father's guest. Lavanya was enjoying Anjali's irritation and that's when she heard the SUV. She grinned thinking now it will be so much fun.

Arnav was hell tired today and very badly wanted to have a cold shower. HP opened the door for him, he smiled at him as HP was very loyal to him and not in the DR's side as other servants.

Arnav: Hari ... what is with this loud noise? (Sarcastically) what is that Sheetal Bitiya did today that they are this happy?

HP: It is not her Bhaiyya, there are some guests

Arnav: Oh ... okay, they have guests, nice as it is not about the stupid Sheetal. Anyway, I am hell tired to entertain the guests so please bring my coffee in the room

HP chuckled at Arnav's dislike towards that lady. He knows Arnav have someone in his life from Lavanya and always says him to show her, which he never did.

Arnav was striding towards his room thinking it to be one of his Chachi's kitty party. When he reached the bottom of stairs Khushi saw him and called him forgetting the environment.

Khushi: Arnav ...

Arnav: (To himself) Kiya!

Arnav jerked his head and saw Khushi sitting beside Lavanya and Nikhil too is there. Lavanya's wink was enough to prove to him that he was not dreaming. He reached her in long strides and pulled her in a bone-crushing hug burying his head in her hairs and whispered.

Arnav: Hey, I missed you ... I missed you a lot baby

Khushi: I missed you too

Arnav: Wait, you guys are here? I mean Dad said he will be late

Khushi: Dad said the truth only, he will come later. So ... how was my surprise?

Arnav: Indeed beautiful

He realized Manav is not there and that means his family doesn't know his relation with Khushi. So he sighed and broke the hug. Nikhil came toward them and they shared a buddy hug.

Arnav: How are you Dude?

Nikhil: Cool and I know, now you too are (Winked at him)

Arnav: True man and hey you are in Kurta? (Smirking) totally planning to impress your would-be in-laws ...ha? Hmm ... not bad

Nikhil was about to retort but their talk was stopped as Kiran ran down the stairs seeing Arnav and launched herself into his arms.

Kiran: ARNIEEEEEEE ... I missed you sooooooo much

He picked her up from the ground in the hug chuckling freely

Arnav: Me too Kiddu ... me too (He broke the hug but kept her in his arms) so ... the first rank is sure, right?

Kiran: Why not? After all, I have the world's best tutor (Winked at him)

Arnav: (Chuckling) don't flatter me too much yaar. By the way, when you guys came? And did you had dinner?

Lavanya: No Bro we were waiting for you. You go freshen up and come we will have it together

Kiran: Yeah, come fast Arnie I am very hungry and I have a looooooot to talk to you

Arnav chuckled at her and ruffled her hair. All family was looking at the new avatar of ASR with open mouths except Akash and Lavanya. They were very upset to see his closeness with the ladies, but then thought it may be the influence of foreign culture. And Lavanya stifled her laugh seeing Sheetal's horrified expression.

Arnav saw Anjali who was very angry to see his closeness to them. So he deliberately said

Arnav: Sure Kiddu. Now as you guys are here, (Looking intently at Khushi) I am all yours

All frowned not getting his words. But Anjali knows he said that to irritate her, so she gritted her teeth to control her anger. Arnav smirked at her expressions and started towards his room.

HP: Bhaiyya your coffee

Arnav took the coffee still smiling.

HP: Bhaiyya can I ask you something (Seeing his nod) you look so much happy seeing them do you ... do you know them?

Arnav: (Smirked) Hari ... you wanted to see my girl right? Look there the one in blue, that's my Kiya, your Bhabhi

HP looked at Khushi shocked and then back at Arnav who winked back at him. His jaw dropped and Arnav once again smirked and ran up now his tiredness vanished in thin air. All looked at the happy ASR with a shocked expression
