Piyu sat shocked in her place.

The scene in front of her has blown away her senses.

She doesn't know what to do.....she can't seem to move also.

No words were coming out of her mouth due to the shock.

She came out of the shock when she heard a loud laugh and when she turned to the direction of the sound. And the scene she saw made her eyes go wide and gasp loudly.

She quickly removed her phone and called Rads. She sighed sadly as she didn't pick the call.

She turned around and saw Jai's dad was laughing loudly watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. T.V. show.

Yes! Watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Her eyes were wide like sauccers.

She grimaced at the scene going on in  the show at the moment and turned only to see Jai's aunt trying to dance to one of the steps which she shouldn't be doing as it will only end up breaking her bones.

She pressed her forehead and walked to kitchen to drink some water but stopped in her tracks when she saw Jai's mother who has earphones in her ears and singing some songs while preparing some dish.

She even forgot why was she even here in the first place and then she remembered that they both had come here to have lunch. She looked around thinking as to where is he now.

That traitor Sameer!

He was talking there on the phone cooly while here she is going crazy.

She frowned at the thought that it was all okay until they had lunch. She didn't find any change in their behaviour and how come suddenly their behaviour is making her go mad.

May be their behaviour was same but she must have not observed them properly as she was continuously getting distracted by Sameer who was whole time grabbing her hand under the table during their lunch.

She smiled and turned to look at him only to shriek loudly.

" Ahhh! Piyali.....it's me Jai's sister in law, it was just a face mask dear no need to get so scared." She said and went away dancing onto a song which was coming on the T.V. right now.

Whole family is looking like a circus now.

She gulped looking at the sight in front of her.

She looked at Sameer for help who was busily talking on his phone. Jai doesn't seem anywhere and Rads......

Just then her phone rang and it was Rads.

"Rads, where are you?" Piyu shouted on phone.

" I am at my home Piyu.....I will change my dress and come there, just give me 15 minutes." Rads said hurriedly.

" Rads no need to change your dress, just come as you are now." Piyu said.

" No! Do you know what I am wearing right now? Skirt! And if I come there like this then Jai's family will eat me alive. I don't want to become the target of their endless lectures. I got to go and I will be there in 25 minutes.....bye Piyu." Rads said hurriedly cutting the call.

Piyu sighed shaking her head.

That time only Meera came bringing juice to all of them and everyone took the juice smiling and blessing Meera which another shock to her.

She had been waiting for half an hour for Jai and Rads. They seem busy and so she decided to leave as she needs some break from all these shocks.

" Okay Aunty we will leave now.....thanks for inviting us for the lunch." Piyu smiled at her.

" Please sit for sometime until Jai comes back.....it's the first time you have come here after the marriage." Jai's Mom said smiling at her.

They got engaged in a talk for a while and she can't see Sameer anywhere.

She stood up to leave but they again stopped her saying she can have her time with her husband whole day and asked her to sit with them for sometime.

" But Sameer has work.....he is getting calls from office, we will come again." Piyu tried to convince her.

" But he is playing with the kids there.....see." Jai's dad said to her pointing at Sameer who was chasing a kid now.

Piyu's eyes widened.....just a minute back she saw him talking seriously on phone and now he is playing there. She glared at him and sensing her gaze somehow....he turned and grinned at her.

"Hey!" He said plopping down beside her on the sofa.

" So Sameer beta.....when you both are giving us grand kids?" Jai's grandma asked them excitingly.

Both of them froze.

Meera tried hard not to laugh at their stunned expressions.

Just then Jai entered and sat with them.

"What's going on here?" Jai asked casually drinking water.

" Nothing we were just asking Sameer and Piyali about when they are going to give us grand kids." Jai's mom said grinning at him.

Jai choked on the water he was drinking and looked at Sameer and Piyu who were both red now.

" Umm.....we just got married, there is still a lot of time for that." Piyu said looking down fiddling with her saree end.

Just then Rads came there munching on chips.

" What happened? Why are you both so red?" She asked them confused.

" Nothing beta.....we just asked about when they are having kids and that made them so shy." Jai's mom giggled looking at them.

" That's what.....if they are so shy just to talk about it then don't know how they will......" Jai's grandma was saying  giggling like a teenage girl.

" Nani!" Jai bellowed loudly stopping her from saying further.

Rads literally spilled out all the chips from her mouth looking shocked at them.

While Sam and Piyu went more red either because of embarrassment or shyness.

" Don't worry.....if you are scared or worried about anything, please ask us we will help you." Jai's aunt said to Piyu sitting beside her.

" Aunty!" Jai groaned.

Rads looked at Piyu and Sameer.....she thought that they will explode out of shyness if this topic continues even for a minute also now.

She looked around and saw Jai's dad was watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S show.

Freaking F.R.I.E.N.D.S show!!!!!

And that made her gasp loudly.

" Jai! What happened to your so called Orthodox and Conservative family?" Rads asked him shocked.

" Meera happened." Jai deadpanned.

Four pair of eyes turned to Meera accusingly.

Meera smiled at them sheepishly.

" What did you do Meera?" Sam, Piyu and Rads asked at the same time.

" I didn't do anything!" She exclaimed and ran off from there.

Jai looked around and rolled his eyes at the activities his family were doing right now. He doesn't even know whether his father can really understand that English show or he was just laughing whenever laughs can be heard in the background of the show.

He looked at others and sighed shaking his head. One was with ear phones, one was with Face pack and other one was dancing or atleast trying to dance. He then looked at his friends who are staring at him blankly for explanation.

He walked towards the balcony and others also followed him silently.

" It all started when I went to a trip to Kolkata and Bangalore for a business deal. I was informed that Meera used to come and meet my family in my absence but I didn't know what had  happened between them. And by the time I returned the inevitable happened." Jai said and sighed loudly.

" At first I thought I entered into the wrong house but when I saw my mother showering her love on Meera, I realised it was reality. That shock had blown away my senses and I still couldn't recover from the shock." Jai said looking at his friends who stood still in trauma of what they have seen inside a while ago.

" I miss my family, I miss their daily nagging about my marriage, I miss their taunts on Meera, I miss their constant bantering about customs and traditions." Jai said looking longingly at his family through the glass door.

And suddenly they heard a loud laugh. They all looked wide eyed at Rads..... she was laughing loudly clutching her stomach and was gasping for air between her laughs.

" This is so funny.....oh my God!" Rads said between her laughs while Sam and Piyu also snickered looking at her.

" For how many days you were out Jai?" Rads asked after composing herself.

" A week in Kolkata and a week in Bangalore......15 days." Jai said irritated.

Three of them looked at him wide eyed and a full blown laughter boomed around Jai. Now Sam, Piyu and Rads were laughing together. They are laughing so hardly that their eyes started watering and it was becoming difficult for them to breath.

" SHUT UP GUYS!!!"

Jai shouted which made them stop and he glared at them.

" Oh my God! Jai....it just took 15 days for Meera to change your family like this." Piyu said breathing heavily from all the laughing she has done.

" Shame on you Jai.....she did it in just 15 days but you couldn't do it in your whole life." Rads snorted at Jai.

" Ha! Bro! In just 15 days your family is like this and think about the future when you get married to Meera, how your whole life will be." Sameer said smirking at Jai whose eyes widened.

" But don't worry Jai.....they seem so cool like this you know so carefree." Sam said patting his back.

" Yeah Jai....everytime we come here, we would be on edge of what they might say and what they might think.....but today we didn't feel like that for once also....though I cannot say that I didn't freak out when I saw them." Piyu said smiling.

" Yeah, though it was a bit shocking at first.....umm sorry..... I mean a lot of shocking but at the end it seems like a good sign. Now I can watch F.R.I.E.ND.S along with your dad whenever I come here." Rads said excitingly for which everyone face palmed themselves.

" Although we need to know something....." Piyu trailed off.

" What?" All three of them asked at the same time.

" How she managed to do all this?" Piyu said thoughtfully and walked to the pillar smirking.

" And only this crazy girl can answer it." Saying this Piyu brought out Meera who was hiding behind the pillar.

Everyone looked at Meera for the answers.

" They asked for it you know." Meera shrugged.

" Can you please elaborate a little?" Sam asked.

" Okay.....so whenever I visit them, they used to ask about my living, my family, my work..... everything. I used to tell them what I do and how I do. One day Jai's dad caught me watching Friends show on my phone and he asked what I was watching which made me laugh so much." Meera said and looked at them sheepishly.

" And?" Jai prompted.

" And I showed him. He saw an episode with me and asked me to show next episode. After watching 10 episodes like that he couldn't stop watching all the episodes and now it became his favourite show." Meera said shrugging.

All three looked astonished at her.

" Next?" Rads raised her brows.

" One day Jai's mom asked me to cook and I started cooking watching YouTube videos. And between I also danced while singing songs during the cooking session. She saw it and asked what am I doing so I just plugged my ear phones into her ear. Maybe she liked the music or idea of listening to music while cooking.....she continued doing it from that day." Meera said grinning at them.

" Like that whenever I put a face mask for relaxation or whenever I dance they caught me and they also started doing it eventually along with me." Meera shrugged leaning onto the wall.

" But what you did to Nani? A while back.....She was literally talking about......" Jai trailed off blushing when he saw Meera smirking at him.

" Oh I just told stories about my rebel grandmother.....how she talks, how she wears modern clothes, how she parties, how she teases everyone and I have showed some snapchat videos of her to your grandmother that's it." Meera said as if it was nothing.

Understanding dawned upon them slowly and stayed quiet to digest everything.

" It was hilarious to watch these two love sick puppies going all red." Rads said laughing at Sam and Piyu who glared at her.

" Yeah, coming here was a break for them as this newly married couple won't come out at all...." Meera exclaimed making them go red again.

" It's been what like a month, you two got married and we hardly met two of you." Jai said amused looking at them.

" Guys! we were busy with all the rituals." Sameer exclaimed.

" Rads, has the date been decided for your marriage?" Piyu asked excited and diverted their attention on them.

" Yeah, they were saying 2 dates has  been finalised.....15th of next month and another date is at end of this month. But we are thinking of going to 15th of next month as we need time for preparations but Rohan being impatient wants to confirm the wedding at the end of this month only." Rads huffed.

" Ohhh! So prince charming couldn't wait to sweep his princess off her feet ah?" Piyu teased making Rads blush and everyone laughed at them as it is rare to see Rads blush.

" But end of this month means..... It's hardly 13 days. How everything will be arranged?" Jai questioned.

" Yeah.....my mother said that she will ask pandit ji what is the best day to get us married and will decide according to it." Rads sighed.

" Oh my God! I can't wait to see my best friend's wedding and I have so many things planned already......." Piyu said dreamily.

" Yeah, we need to do so much shopping also." Meera said excited.

"Girls"

Both Sam and Jai muttered under their breaths rolling their eyes at their excitement.

Soon they went inside and decided to leave.

"So when are you going to give us grand kids?"

Sam, Piyu, Rads, Jai and Meera groaned loudly at the same time making whole family jump in their places.

" What? We thought you all are discussing that only from that time." Jai's grandmother said.

" WHAT!"

Again five of them shouted at the same time making all of them flinch.

"Ma! Only they both are married. Then how will you think that we will be the part of the kids discussion?" Jai hissed at his mom.

" Since you all are best friends from years.....we thought you will be discussing everything with each other." His mom shrugged.

" Ma!" Jai groaned.

" And we thought they need their friend's help to proceed further as they are so shy and don't know anything." His mother said looking lovingly at them.

" MA!!!!" Jai groaned loudly.

At this point Piyu and Sameer totally turned away from the whole crazy family and staring at the exit to escape as soon as possible.

" See how shy they are! They are turning away from us and blushing." Jai's mom said laughing along with Rads and Meera.

" Ma!" Jai yelled.

" Uf ohh! I know you love me so much my sona beta.....don't need to chant my name so many times." His mom said smiling pinching his cheeks.

And guess what we hear again......

" MA!"

Sameer, Piyu, Rads, Meera bursted out laughing like maniacs making whole family also laugh with them making Jai huff at them.

" Okay we want to announce an important matter to all of you." Jai dad said loudly and everyone became quiet.

" We are so much happy that our kids Sameer and Piyali got married....." Jai's dad said looking at Sameer and Piyu who smiled lovingly at each other.

" And soon Radhika and Rohan are also are going to get married......" Jai's  grandmother said looking at Rads who blushed looking down.

" So, we all have decided to get Jai and Meera also married.....soon after Rads marriage." Jai's mother finished looking at Jai and Meera who looked shocked at them.

" It means you all approve us." Jai asked happily.

" Yes " They all said in unison.

"And we have talked about this to Meera's family too, they said they will come to India soon and will start the preparations." Jai's dad said smiling at his expression.

Jai jumped happily and hugged them all.

Sam, Piyu, Rads screamed in happiness and hugged both Jai and Meera congragulating them.

Rads immediately called Rohan to tell the news and told him come soon as they need to celebrate this occasion.

Soon they all left bidding byes to everyone.

Rohan also arrived and everyone went to a restuarant to celebrate.

Piyu looked at her life Sameer who now was arguing with Jai about something. She feels so blessed to have him in her life. He is a wonderful husband.

She looked at Rohan and Rads who are now bickering about what to order and Meera was watching them with wide open mouth not understanding about what they are fighting. Meera can never get used to their silly bickerings.

She is so blessed to have all of them in her life.

She smiled at the thought how everything changed in last few months. No one has ever thought that their Unrequited Love will be requited.....no one.

But now...... everything has changed and everyone are happy.

And after their little celebration, Sam and Piyu went to their home.

As they were walking inside, Sameer's mother appeared in front of them from no where making them shriek loudly.

" Ma! We had enough of childishness today that too from elders.....we are not ready to go through that trauma again.... please!" Sam said.

" Huh?" His mother was confused.

" Nothing Ma, do you need something?" Piyu asked smiling at her.

" Yes!" She said with excitement.

Both of them rose their eyebrows at her.

" What?" They asked skeptically looking at her excitement.

" I want grand kids......when are you both planning to give me?" She asked like a kid who asks toys.

Sam and Piyu groaned together loudly making her jump in her place.

Here we go again!
