"Let me ask you something" Jhanvi asked while moving trolley . "Hmm" he replied while munching the chocolate . "Did the guy really ran out of the van ?" Akil looked at her with a sheepish smile . "What do you think so ? The opposite na " He asked her and she nodded yes . "And that's the answer"

"I knew it . What did you do? Tell tell " Jhanvi ran behind him as he walked faster along with her trolley . " I want a kiss" he replied and she pouted . " Okay . I'll give . Tell na " she said and he looked at her " since I trust you so much with these things I'll tell it in the car" he winked at her . "You always do this to me " She said seeing him walking forward .

"Excuse me . Last week you promised me a kiss and that too two and what did you do . You cheated me . And before that -"

"Okay bas . I'll give you . An I'll not cheat this time pakka " she interrupted him . " Ooo- s**t mamma is coming" Akil said looking shocked seeing his mother and bhabhi entering the supermarket. " Bye " he said looking at a laughing Jhanvi and started to walk in the opposite direction .

"Akil" the voice of his bhabhi stopped him in his tracks . He slowly turned and saw both of them waving at him and Jhanvi looking at him and then at his mother . He slowly move forward and greet them .

"Hi Jhanvi beta . How are you?" Lekha , his mother , asked her while his bhabhi , Sakshi smiled at her . " I'm fine aunty . How are you both " She replied . " Why didn't you come to Ahana's engagement. She was so angry about that " Sakshi asked refering to her sister -in-law's engagement .

"Trust me bhabhi . I wanted to come but fever came in my way and Ahana that girl didn't talked to me for days ." Jhanvi remembered how her best friend and soon to be sis in law made a fuss for not coming for her engagement . " Oh that's fine beta . Even Akil had fever on that day . And when are we getting invited for your marriage ha . It'll be really cool if we best friends got married on the same year" Hearing Lekha's comment Jhanvi slowly stepped on Akil's shoes .

"Maa woh sab chodona . ( Leave all that ) . Let's - " Akil tried to change the topic when his bhabhi interrupted him . "You didn't tell us why you were here" . "Ha . Woh . Mein . I came to buy something for Neha " He finally found an excuse in his brother's daughter

" You're spoiling the girl . She wants chocolate and you bring it for her not one but a full packet . What's the need for buying chocolate for her everyday . She'll get ill for God sake . And to whom I'm saying the one holding a chocolate . You're such a kid . " Lekha continued to scold him and Akil looked at Sakshi begging to rescue him .

"Maa . Leave it . He won't buy now . And Jhanvi how're you going home " Sakshi asked . " Bhabhi I'll go in an auto " Replied Jhanvi . "No no we'll drop you . It's already 6 and not safe to go alone . " Lekha interrupted them .

"No aunty . It's fine . My shopping is finished already and you guys just only entered and I need to reach home early " said Jhanvi.

"Then Aki you drop her" Lekha looked at her son who nodded no . " No mom . I won't allow any girl to enter in my car " He protested and Jhanvi looked at him wideeyed . "She is not any girl she is your sister itself" Lekha shot back .

Hearing this Akil shook his head violently . "you want me to drop her right. I'll do it. I dont want any extra sister , I already've an atom bomb in my house . Chal " He said and walked forth .

"Wah Wah . what an acting . If you act like this I'm sure you'll get an oscar very soon" Jhanvi said putting on the seat belt .

"Madam ji I have 20 years of experience" he winked at her before turning the car on .

" It's not 20 , it'll be maybe 15 or 14 something" she argued

"No. I saw you at the age of 7 and now I'm 27 . So it's 20 years"

" You really had love on a 4 year old back then" She laughed

" What to do . That 7 year old was bowled seeing that 4 year old little girl in the pink skirt " He looked at her blushing face " I love you"

" I love you too" she leaned and kissed his cheek .

" But I have a doubt . When is this ACP sir going to marry me"

" Let's complete our silver jubilee"

" By the time I'll be married . To another guy" he frowned hearing her

"I have told you thousand times not to talk things like that . It's actually not funny"

" Bade Papa called me yesterday and talked about marriage and how it is the right time . " She leaned on his arm and rested her head on his shoulder .

" Do you want to get married now " he asked her even though he know the answer is yes .

" If you want only we'll get married " She looked up at him .

"Hmm" " When is your bade Papa and family going to Delhi" He wanted to change the topic Immediately .

" Tomorrow . Why?"

" Keep your bags ready . You'll be staying at my house" He had the perfect plan ready .

" What . Bade Papa will kill you " She looked at him with shock

" With your bade Papa's permission you'll come to my house ." he stopped the car infront of her house .

" Why did you stopped the car here . Someone will see ." She shrieked

"We've have a perfect reason already with us . My mom told me to drop and I did . Simple " He smiled at her and leaned closer .

" Noo- move away . I'm really scared . I don't have brains like yours " she pushed him before getting out of the car .

She took all her belongings and started to walk into the house . She turned to look at him who sent her a flying kiss . She smiled in return and walked .

" La laaa . My black forest is ready " Surekha , Jhanvi's bade Maa , said keeping the cake on the coffee table .

" It's super mom " Akansha , her daughter , said biting a piece of it .

" I know . I know . I made it naa" Surekha praised herself .

Jhanvi came downstairs thinking what will be Akil's plan .

"Jhanvi . Come taste this and tell me how's it" She pulled Jhanvi and gave her a slice of the cake .

" My Bade Maa made it na . So it'll be awesome only" Jhanvi said sitting on the couch . " Haaaiii re " Surekha covered her face while laughing .

" Don't praise her too much both of you . She'll reach moon " Rishikesh said sitting on the couch beside Jhanvi . Akansha and Jhanvi laughed thinking about the upcoming fight .

" Have you ever said a good thing about me . Ha.. My friends had told me that time " Surekha don't marry a police officer . You're a beautiful girl and you'll get a doctor or engineer" but what did I do . I married this man and I'm suffering from last 30 years " She said sitting opposite to him .

"If you have a problem then why don't you just divorce me . I'll also be freed from this hell" he said and took a piece of cake . Before he could put it in his mouth she grabbed the piece .

" Go and ask your old girlfriend to make cake . I don't want the any devil's to ear my cake" she went to kitchen while bickering and all the three laughed .

" You're always too much bade Papa " Jhanvi said finishing her cake . And Akansha second that .

" She'll come back after few minutes calling ' Rishikesh Ji' She cannot stay without talking to me" He smiled thinking about his wife's drama .

"And that's vice versa" Akansha giggled .

" Huhh . Anyway Jhanvi are you sure that you'll stay alone here with maids . Don't you want to come " Rishikesh looked at Jhanvi .

" Haa . Bade Papa . I told you na Im the leader of this new project so I want to be present every day . And it's just 4 days . I can manage-" Jhanvi's reply was interrupted by Surekha .

" Lekha ji's husband is on the line" Surekha gave the phone to Rishikesh .

:::

" He called you to invite you to their house . I think Ahana told him that you'll be alone here for 4 days . I said yes 'cause I know you're ready to go to your bestfriend's house . You're ready right " Jhanvi nodded . ' it's not Ahana's but her brother's idea , bade Papa' she thought to herself .
