A young man of late twenties is roaming around the mall with a list in his hand, to buy gifts for his lovely family. He got some free hours in between his flights and he is utilizing it to the fullest.

" I bought gifts for everyone except Aditi's friend, who is residing at my house. I didn't even know her real name, Amma always used to address her as Chikku. Anyway that won't be her real name or is it?," thought Arnav.

" I will buy her something otherwise my Shaitan ki Bachi sister will eat my brain", he chuckled thinking about his sister.

He was walking through the Mall and saw something attractive through the glass door of a shop. He got inside and bought it for that unknown person who is a part of his family now.

Not knowing that unknown person is going to be his life.

Raizada Mansion.

The Mansion is decorated beautifully as their younger son is getting engaged with his love in two days. It's double happiness, as their elder son is coming from London after bagging an International deal and their younger son is getting married.

Ratna is in the living room helping Op and Hp with the preparations.

In a corner below the stairs, two girls were sitting and munching Jalebis. Seeing this Ratna came to them.

Ratna: What are you doing here?That too Chup Chup ke? Can't you help me with all this?

Aditi ( Startled): Amma! Khushi an... She was craving for Jalebis. I was just helping her to finish the box ". She smiled sheepishly.

Khushi: Shut up Adu... Don't lie... You also craved for Jalebis. (Looking at Ratna) Tell me Aunty what do you want us to do?

Ratna(Patting her hair lovingly): Nothing Beta. You take rest. But tomorrow I want your help to prepare my Chotte's favourite dishes.😋

Khushi: Sure Aunty... Always at your service. 😉

(Khushi is Ratna's childhood friend's daughter. Khushi was in college hostel and one day she was hospitalized due to food poison.. That day Ratna came to know that her daughter's best friend is her best friend's daughter. She called Maya (Khushi's mom) and asked her permission to take khushi to RM. Maya was so happy for her daughter as she will be safe with Ratna.Since then Khushi is at Raizada Mansion sharing room with Aditi , her best friend... )

Aditi: Amma when is bhai's flight? When will di come? (Turning) Where is amma... ?

Khushi (smirking) : Aunty escaped from your blabbering Adu..😉..

Door bell rings and Anjali entered greeting all ..

Anjali : Hi girlz !!!

Aditi: Devil ki naam liya...Devil hazir...😎

Anjali came and beat her sister playfully smiling...

How are you my ha ha? I missed you Adi said Anjali hugging her.

( Turning to Khushi)

Hi Khushi... Heard a lot about you... Nice to meet you dear.

Khushi: Happy to see you too Anjali di..

Anjali: Di !

Khushi : Huh !

Anjali: Just Di ( smiling)🙂

Khushi (smiling) : Ok Di😃

Adi: Where is Jiju ?

Anjali: He will come at the venue  with others.

(Anjali is staying with her husband Shyam and inlaws which is two street across Raizada Mansion.)

Ratna: Anju you came? Come let's  have tea. All of you go, freshn up and come fast.

"Oookkkkk." Three of them said in unison and went to their respective rooms to freshen up and get ready for the evening. Ratna smiled at the kids and went to the kitchen to prepare tea.

They all gathered in the living room enjoying tea and chit-chatting. Akash and Nk too join them and they had lot of masti.

Nk(whining) :Our Parol is going to end.

All look at him confused.

PAROL All asked together.

NK - Yes Parol. Nannav is coming an, so back to jail life.

Hearing this all of them laughed.

Manorama smacked her son for badmouthing her favorite nephew and said: Only you will be in trouble. Not others. Why are you always irritating Arnav bitwa?

Nk: It's s fun Maate... Only I have the previlage to irritate Nannav.

Manorama got up to beat him, he ran from there to escape from his mom's beating.

All laughed at him. After sometime all retired to there rooms.

Dinner Time (RM)
.
.

Anjali and Ratna are arranging the dinning table. All the members came and got seated to have dinner.

Anjali: Amma!!! Why didn't Chotte call us? He didn't call me or pick my calls since last week.

Aditi: That's because of your torture only Di. Always talking about his marriage. Don't you have anything else to talk with Bhai?

Anjali: Ohh! Here comes Bhai's lawyer for his defense. I am talking for his good future only. Hai na Amma?

Ratna didn't say anything. Just nodded her head to end the topic.

Aditi: He called me yesterday to know about my list.

Khushi: List? What list Adu?

Ratna: What else... Shopping list. He knows very well that he wont be able to live peacefully if he dont bring her favourites.

Aditi : Amma!!! Are you jealous of me?

Ratna: Why should I be?

Aditi: Because my Bhai loves me more than you.😉

Anjali: Adu, You have no idea then. Amma is his favourite. He is her favourite Chotte. No one is important to him than his pyari Ma. Hai na Ma?

Ratna smiled thinking about her son, her Chotte.

NK: Since Nannav is coming back prank days starts. This time we have another partner too in our team. Our Khushi.

Khushi: Oye... I am not into any pranks. You only said na he is a Lion. I don't want to get eaten by the Lion. I love my dear life NK. Spare me.

All laughed hearing it.

Aditi: Dont worry NK. Main hu na ( in bollywood style) and winked at him.

All laughed and enjoyed small talks while having dinner. All finished their dinner and went to their respective rooms.

Next day

It was a beautiful misty morning. Khushi's sleep got disturbed by the tune of her alarm. She rubbed and opened her eyes slowly.

"Good morning Khushi... Stay happy and make others happy... Devi Mayya raksha karna", praying and smiling to herself, she got up from the bed, wake Aditi up and rushed to the washroom for a bath and went to study room with Aditi for their daily combined study.

Khushi: What's your plan today Adu? College half day only na, what about going for shopping?

Aditi: Did you forgot Khushi? Today Bhai is coming na and there is pooja too. If he find me roaming around he will kill me. She exclaimed.

.
Khushi: You are exagerating baby. You and NK talks as if he is Hitler. Ratna Aunty told me he is such a sweet heart.

Aditi: He is Hitler only my girl.  You will come to know the sweetness of that heart so soon. She murmered.

They studied for sometime and went to Nk's and Akash's room to wake them up.

(Khushi became an integral part of RM in a short period of time. Ratna and Manorama loves her like their own daughter. For Akash she is his cute little sister. He got more attached to Khushi than Aditi because Aditi was always her Arnav Bhai's Chamchi. For NK and Aditi she is their best friend.)

Khushi went to kitchen to prepared tea for everyone.
Since she came to RM it's Khushi who prepares morning tea. She went to Ratna's room to give her tea and Aditi went to wake her Chachi up and gave her tea.

After that Khushi, Aditi ,Nk and Akash went for jogging. Thats their daily routine. They go for jogging together. After coming back they dressup, have breakfast then Akash goes to AR and the trio goes to college.

From tomorrow there will be one more jogging partner for Khushi.

As per her - a sweetheart wala partner..😉
