Luv wakes up to his sister shouting outside his room .

" BHAIYAAA , jaldi utho mammi ne bola h ki aap mujhe meri friend ke ghar lekar jaoge " Avni shouts banging the door . ( BROTHERR , wake up fast mom said that you'll be taking me to my friends house )

" Ha aa rha hu dharwaja bajana band kro mahraani ji " Luv says pulling off the blanket from his body . ( Yea coming but would you stop banging the door dear queen )

" Jaldi aao " Avni says and runs away . ( come fast )

Luv annoyingly grabs his hoodie from the side and slides into it .

-----------------------------------------

" Good morning mom dad and uncle aunty " Adhir says and places himself on the empty seat near his dad who seems to be busy engrossed in the newspaper .

" Good morning beta " everyone replied back in unison .

" Are you going somewhere beta ( son ) " His moms asks while setting the plates for breakfast on the dinning table .

" hmm , got a assignment due tomorrow so gonna head to a café with friends " Adhir replies rolling up his sleeves .

" Ye bache Sunday ke din bhi ghar nhi tik skte ( these children can't even stay home on Sunday ) " Mr. Chandrajit said shutting the newspaper and keeping it aside .

" Are , leave it na , he's just going for work " Mrs. Radha says while placing the bowl filled with matar paneer .

She looks at Adhir while smiling and Adhir passes the smile back to his mom .

" Mom , bhaiya ( brother ) said he's coming " Avni says running down the stairs .

" Where are you running off to , sit here and eat your breakfast " Mrs. Advika pulls Avni by her hand and makes her sit on the chair beside Adhir .

" Mooooooooooom , I don't like peas and paneer too . I will just eat  at my friends " Avni says as she sits still in her spot with hands bent over one another .

" I know , I know , that's why I've also made your favorite Okra  maharani ji ( dear queen ) " Mrs. Radha says as she puts a bowl filled with Okra's vegetable near the first bowl .

" Radha , tumne hi ise itne bigaad rkha h " ( Radha you've spoiled her so much )

" Kuch nhi hota Advika , abhi choti h vo " ( nothing happens , she's still a child )

" Teri aakho me to sab hi bache h " ( Everyone is child in your eyes .) Advika says as she smiles it off .

" Thank you aunty " Avni replies giggling .

" Itna khu khilkhila rhi h meri ladli " ( why is my dearest giggling so much ) " The Grandmother says walking in from the garden with a basket filled with fresh palak ( spinach ) and dhaniya  ( coriander ) . She puts the basket in the kitchen , washes her hands and sits on one of the empty chairs . " kuch nhi mummi ji bas yu hi " Advika says as she sets her plates too .

-------

Luv comes down from his room fully dressed up in a warm hoodie  and shorts . Upon seeing Adhir being seated and eating his breakfast Luv whines , " Mooom , if Adhir was already up he could've dropped Avni at her friend's house so why'd you wake me up . "

" You don't only have to drop her off but also stay with her for the day and about Adhir , he's busy today " Advika replies .

" Wait let me make it clear I am not staying with her for the whole day . I have some plans too yk" Luv says plopping himself on the chair beside his grandmother .

" What plans ? "

" I am going on a date with softie today "

" 5000 rupees " Advika states .

" D-do you think everything can be done with money "  Luv says setting his plates himself .

" 4500 "

" 5000 , I'll do it , I'll stay with her for the day . deal " Luv replies fast upon hearing the amount descend .

Adhir chuckles after hearing the other's reply .

" Hey , what are you laughing for " Luv scolds .

" Me ? laughing ? no way . you must've heard wrong " Adhir replies as he continues snickering secretly .

" YOU ! "

"  Acha then what about your date with softie ? " Advika asks smiling .

" I- I forgot it was on the next Sunday " He says while pouring himself matar paneer in a bowl .

" MEOW  ( TRAITOR )" Softie meows from the corner near the fridge making everyone laugh with her behavior .

---------------------------------------

" By the way Avu who's this friend you're gonna play with? " Luv asks.

" Rakshit " She replies while combing her hairs .

" So , it's a boy . Does mom know ? "

" It's a girl , her name is Rakshita "

" You said it was Rakshit before "

" Rakshit will also be there "

" What do you mean- "

" They are brother , sister . Rakshit and Rakshita "

" I see , You should've said clearly from the start "

"......" Avni stays silent for a while before saying " You missed my friend's house "

" Huh " Luv looks back suddenly .

" LOOK IN THE FRONTT "

" S-Sorry " He instantly looks towards the road and carefully takes a U turn . " Why didn't you tell me we missed their house "

" You were asking questions "

" You should've just said " Luv says frustrated receiving a chuckle from his sister . " Stop laughing and tell me which one is it "

" That one , just right around the corner "

" the apartment one "

" yeah "

" Do you know on which floor they live " Luv says as he stops the car in front of the building .

" I do " Avni says opening the cars door .

" Even if you know , stay here . I'll go and park the car so stay here and wait for me "

" Alright but come fast "
