Aniket, though caught up in the festive atmosphere, couldn't help but steal occasional thoughts towards the grey-eyed girl who had left an indelible impression on his dreams. He wondered if the magic of their encounter would somehow transcend the boundaries of his slumber and intertwine with the real world celebration.

Amidst the joyful chaos, the Maaheshwari family eagerly counted down the hours, eagerly awaiting the evening when they would gather to commemorate the remarkable love story that had blossomed and flourished over three decades.

" Dad apnae apne saara business partners ko invite bhej diya tha na? "  Aniket inquired to avoid any last minute hustle

" Beta yeah party sirf close friends and family ke liye hei hai corporate friends ko toh party hum baad mein bhi de saktein hein ! "   Quipped in Nalini

"Haa exactly!! "  Said Aviraj

"Are Singhaniya's ko invitation bheja tha na Aviraj? "
asked Gauri knowing very well about the nature of his son

"Konse wale Singhania 's Dadi " inquired Shlok

" Are Rajsamand wale Singhaniya's Shlookk"

"Haa Maa meine yaad se personally call kiya tha  Arti ji ko yaad dilane ke liye ki unhe aana hai aj shaam ki party mein..." replied Nalini

"Bahut hei acha kiya Nalini aise hei toh rishte nibhaye jatei hei " stated her mother in law feeling proud of her Bahu

"Par Ma humhe nhi lagra hai ki woh log aayenge "

"Kyun nhi ayenge"

"Dadi sa 1.5 hrs ki journey hai Rajsamand se yeah aane ke liye... Aur upar se itni garmi hai kon hei aayega itni dur se ek party attend karne ke liye "
replied shlok

"Are chahe woh kitni hei dur kyun na ho woh sab  aayenge hei kyunki waha ke jo Raja sa hai woh tumhare Dada sa ke dost hai aur ab jo unki bahu haii.....haa Arti uski aur Nalini ki dosti ho gayi hai.. "

"Acha toh phir unki koi beti bhi hai " asked shlok excitedly

"Haa unki do betiyaan hain.unki badi beti  California mein hai dusri wali yahi India mein hai "

"Maine suna hai ki pehli wali beti apni padhai complete kar waps aa gayi hai aur jaaha tak hai iss baar karobar woh hei sambhalegi " piped in Meera 

" Un dono ki age kya hai " asked Devansh

"Jaha tak mujhe yaad hai ek ki umar 25 saal hai toh dusri wali ki umar 23 saal hai "

This equipped in  Shlok"s interest

"Toh apne unhe invite kiya hai na yeah par ? "

" Woh toh aj raat ki party mein pata chalega na"

While the Maheshwari family engaged in lively conversations, sharing anecdotes and laughter, Aniket found himself slowly drifting away from their discussions. His mind became a distant observer, detached from the bustling world around him, as his thoughts gravitated towards the captivating girl from his dreamland.

Lost in his reverie, Aniket's eyes glazed over, and a dreamy smile tugged at the corners of his lips. His mind conjured vivid images of the grey-eyed girl, her graceful presence seeping into every crevice of his thoughts. He envisioned conversations with her, each word laced with wonder and intrigue, their shared moments etched into the tapestry of his dreams.
