Happy birthday Alviya <3 ___________________

"Mom! Rahul is on the way," Rohan said a bit loudly so that everyone present inside the living room would hear it.

"I can't wait to see him" Mrs Christopher exclaimed with a smile.

Everyone's head turned to the entrance to see an exhausted Rahul coming towards them with a white bandage surrounding his forehead.

"Rahul, What happened my son?- I'm fine Mom" Rahul cut his mom off while hugging her.

"Cause now I'm with you" Rahul uttered, a smile adoring his lips feeling relaxed after so many tiring days.

"Mom, stop crying I'm alright" Rahul comforted her, she sat down Rahul kneeled on the carpet and wiped her tears with the pad of his thumb.

"Alright guys enough of this emotional drama or else I'm gonna cry too"
Rohan dramatically exclaimed settling himself beside her crying mom who shook her head.

"Rahul, would you care to justify where you were all this while?" with a hint of anger present in his tone Rahul's father finally spoke up.

"Chris, he just got back home" - Hanya tried to defend her son but shut her mouth seeing her husband standing up, glaring at her to shut up.

"Dad, he went to attend his friend's wedding" Rohan wanted to praise himself for coming up with such a good lie meanwhile Rahul looked at his brother thinking if he was his brother.

"Which friend?"

"Monica"

"Jason"

Both Rahul & Rohan simultaneously said different names and they knew they were in big trouble. Hanya face-palmed herself for raising such dumb children while Mr Christropher
looked away with a smirk on his lips.

"Three rounds"

"Ah that's easy," Rohan said thinking it would be easy to make 3 rounds of the mansion. Rahul nodded in agreement.

"Of the town"

"WT-shit" Rohan finished off the word to save his stupid brother. Rahul ruffled his hair and sat on the sofa.

"Rahul, go freshen up I've prepared your favorite dish" Hanya uttered looking at Rahul whose eyes lit up.

"No, both of you go freshen up or both of you will get infected" Hanya sternly said and went inside the kitchen.

Rahul happily went inside his room and took off his shirt just to freeze when he felt someone wrapping their arms around his neck. He quickly went into his defensive state blocked that person's hands and pushed that person sending him/her to the ground.

"What are you doing in my room?" was the first thing Rahul asked after seeing Rita. He lends his hands for help after seeing her struggling to stand up.

"I came to see you" Rita admitted

"Go!"

"What"

"Now that you have seen me go then"
Rahul said eying the door for her to go

"Mom told me to redo your bandage"
Rita said in an attempt to spend some quality time with his future husband.

"Mrs. Christopher"
Rahul corrected her with annoyance.

"Mrs. Christopher has told me to call her mom, do you have any problem?"

"No"

"Also you don't have to redo my bandage--but I would love to Rahul" Rita cut him off in mid-sentence, she gestured for him to sit which he did.
