ll of them sat in the dining hall, ready to get their breakfast served. “Okay, bye.” Aarnav cut his call, as he sat on the chair to eat breakfast. “With whom are you talking in the morning?” Aanya asked, as she served a roti to him. He looked at her, giving a signal that he talked with her. Aanya made an ‘O’ face and sat quietly, when Ishaan asked, “Who?” Aarnav again tried to signal him but Ishaan said, “What are you trying to do with your eyes? Tell me na.” Everyone looked at Aarnav, making him look down, while Aanya kicked Ishaan's leg under the table. “Tell me also, bhai. Why are you silent?” Tara asked, confused. Ishaan slightly smirked, as he got the slightest revenge for what Aarnav did with Aanya.

“With my friend,” Aarnav replied. After having three rotis, Aarnav was about to stand when Anvi stopped him. “Eat another one,” she said, putting another one on his plate. “Maa, I already had three! Just because I am a fast eater, and finishes quickly, you cannot put more and more!” Aarnav tried to protest but soon gave up after getting a glare from her. “Eat. You are either scrolling or talking with someone on your phone. You got tanned by your phone light only” Anvi said, glaring. “What an irrelevant sentence?” he questioned back. “Blame your phone, it even damaged your ears. I am going to break it, wait.” Anvi started scolding him. “Where did my phone come from?!” He asked. Taking the last bite, he quickly got up, washed his plates and went to his room, while Anvi was still talking alone.

“Chill, don't take tension,” Nirav calmed her, and placed the water glass on her lips while she drank it. “Also, we need to discuss an important thing.” Adwait said, “Call Aarnav.” Aarnav joined the table, where half of them were still eating. “We have reached our ages, and we are tired of supervising the office again and again, managing everything.” Adwait started. “So, as soon as Aarnav's marriage is fixed, we are planning to retire, and you guys should work more hard. I know you are doing a great job, just continue it. Even we need to enjoy our retired life, chatting with my daughters,” Nirav continued. “Also, play with our grandchildren after a few months or years. And remember, we are always proud of our sons,” Adwait ended, a smile on his face. All of them were quite surprised except Ishaan and Aarnav as they already knew it.

“Ohmygod, does it mean that you guys will be home hereafter?” Tulsi asked, her eyes widened. “Yeah, we can go back to our twenties,” Adwait winked, caressing her cheeks. “Noo, we can't handle you guys. Please go elsewhere during the day, we need to relax,” Anvi said, shaking her head. “That's why I am here, to make you relax.” Nirav softly said, joining their foreheads. Saanvi was quick enough to click pictures of the couples, and took her plate to wash it. Soon, everyone left the house one by one to go to their office. “How is Saksi?” Ishaan asked, as he drove. “I don't know, I talked with her. She said she was fine, but I don't think she can manage in Ahujas house.” Aanya sighed. Ishaan nodded, and there was silence. They reached the office and soon both of them indulged themselves in their work. Aanya looked at their work, making sure to complete the work. Some of them were doing the lights, some of them were fixing drills, everyone was busy. Aanya too was busy.
