They got off the train. Sana smiled widely at the familiar surroundings.

Rah: Looks like someone is too happy

Sana: Obviously. Apne ghar se better place na koi nhi ho skti. You don't miss your home?

Rah: Hnn sure

They took an auto rickshaw and went to Sana's home.

Rah: Nice home

He complimented with a smile while she was paying the auto driver. Though Rahul insisted to pay but she denied. She mouthed a "thank you" with a smile.

Sana: Come

They both walked inside.

Sana: So welcome to my home sweet home

She said excitedly while ringing the doorbell. Rahul chuckled at her childishness.

While with Avu

She was in kitchen preparing her breakfast when the bell rang.

Avu: Iss time kon aa gia?

She slowed down the gas and went to check. She opened the door and got shocked and surprised at same time. Rahul was standing back on side so Avu didn't notice him.

Avu: Sana

She exclaimed happily. Sana smiled widely and jumped in Avu's arms.

Sana: I missed you so much mumma

Avu wiped a tear that rolled down her cheek and smiled hugging her back tightly. Rahul was smiling at them. Avu patted her back.

Avu: I missed you too

Sana broke the hug.

Sana: Happy birthday mumma

She said kissing Avu's cheek.

Avu: Thank you. So yaad tha tujhe

Sana: Of course mum aese kaise bhool sakti hu hnn?

She said polling Avu's cheeks. Avu slapped her hand away.

Avu: Ayye I am your mother

She said playfully glaring at Sana to which she chuckled in return. Sana again pulled her in an embrace and left her in few seconds.

Avu: So achanak yaha?

Sana: Thanks to him

She said pointing to Rahul. He quickly touched Avu's feet.

Avu: Bless you beta. Sorry I didn't notice you only

Rahul smiled at her.

Rah: It's okk aunty

Avu: Chalo chalo aaoo andar

They both went inside following Avu. Avu brought water for them and sat beside them.

Avu went in kitchen to prepare breakfast for all three of them.

Sana: Chalo come I will show you around till them

Rah: Sure. Chalo. But let's keep cake in fridge. Nhi to kharab ho jaega

Avu: Chalo breakfast ready hai. Aa jaoo

Sana: Okk mom

They had their breakfast and then Avu called up her clients and canceled her meetings for the day and apologized for inconvenience. They chit chatted for sometime about pg, new school, study, etc. Then, they forcefully sent Avu in her room.

Avu: Tum log kya kar rahe ho?

Sana: Kuch nhi mom. Aap shanti se betho rho udar. 5 minute aur

Avu: Pichle 1 ghante se yahi bol rhi hai

After sometime, they both came and blindfolded her and took her outside. They back counted from 5. Avu opened the blindfold and they shooted the party poppers.
