At Khan Enterprises:
Hridaan walked into his office, the city buzzing below the glass skyscrapers. The morning emails had already piled up, and his phone was buzzing like crazy—VIP clients, last-minute event changes, international calls. He ran his hand through his hair and muttered under his breath.
By 9 AM, he was on a call with a foreign client, their face perfectly polished on the screen, polite but serious.
“Mr. Khan, your team hasn’t confirmed the itinerary yet… and the VIP gala requires approvals immediately,” the client said.
Hridaan leaned back, voice calm but firm. “I understand. The schedule is finalized on our end. I assure you, every detail will be perfect. No delays.”
“We need guarantees for the luxury services… last time there were some issues,” the client pressed.
Hridaan’s jaw tightened slightly. “We take full responsibility for our arrangements. But compromises on quality are never acceptable. Trust our team—we have never let a client down.”
The next few hours passed in a blur of calls, emails, and rapid-fire problem-solving. One client wanted an exclusive penthouse event moved forward by two days, another called to demand a completely new itinerary for a private tour. Hridaan barely had time to sip his coffee, typing instructions to his assistants with one hand while checking contracts with the other.
By 3 PM, one of the toughest clients finally confirmed everything. Farhan leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyes. The stress of the day weighed heavily on him. Outside, New York was alive and glittering, but inside the office, Hridaan was drained, tense, exhausted.

This side:
Aisha , Azwaan , Ali , Zayan everyone just reached home and that's when our lil Ashiq came home holding Mahira's hand. His face was not so happy, kind angry or stubborn. Azwaan understood that it's gonna be a tough day for them. zayan immediately walked towards Mahira.
"Bhabhi aap theek hona? Bahut thak gayi lag rahi ho aap?" , Zayan asked concerned.
Mahira smiled at his concern.
"Kuch nahi hua hai mujhe zay..bas isko Ghar chodne aayi thi..", Mahira said softly.
"Tum log abi abi Ghar aye ho?" , Mahira asked.
"Haan bhabhi" , All replied tired.
"Chalo beto sab log mein coffee bana deti hun" , Mahira said
"Nahi nahi..aap yahan betiye..main bana lungi" , Aisha said making Mahi sit on the couch.
"Aur phir hum sab marna hai tumhare coffee peeke..", Ali mumbled while Azwaan chuckled.
"Tumne kuch kaha?" , Aisha asked passing him a death glare.
"Nahi toh..", Ali said immediately nervously laughing while Zayan chuckled.
Aisha went to the kitchen dancing a lil.
"Dad's lil princess" , Ali said rolling his eyes.
"Nope! Bhaiya's lil princess" , Azwaan corrected rolling his eyes.
"Arey naam sunke yaad aaya...Hridaan kahan hai? Abi tak nahi aaya?" , Mahira asked them.
"Nahi bhabhi..abi tak nahi aaya.. chalo call karta hun", Azwaan replied dialing his bhaiya.
Azwaan's call disturbed a conference there. Hridaan already stressed , excused himself from the meeting and came out.
"Hello bhaiya- ", Azwaan got cutt off by Hridaan.
"Kitne baar kaha hai call mat karna jab mein office hun Azwaan!" , Hridaan's voice boomed while Azwaan moved the phone away from his ears.
"Sorry" , Azwaan mumbled.
Hridaan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Batao kisliye call Kiya?" , Hridaan asked , his voice getting lil soft.
"Woh..bas..jaan na tha ki aap kab aaoge Ghar?" , Azwaan said.
"Aaj kaam bahut hai..thoda late aaunga..aur sun tum khud khana Khao aur Ashu ko bi khane ko kha ho..Aryan ghar nahi aaya?" , Hridaan asked.
"Nahi..nahi aaya", Azwaan said.
"Tk..woh thodi der mein aa jayega..main rakh Raha hun..khuda Hafiz" , Hridaan said.
"Khuda Hafiz" , Azwaan said and ended the call.
"Uff..", Azwaan threw himself on the couch.
"Daanta kya?" , Ali asked teasingly.
"Kinda" , Azwaan said.
That's when Aisha came with coffee in a tray. She gave everyone and was about to give Mahira but Zayan stopped her.
"Dekha..zayan doesn't want Bhabhi to drink your coffee", Ali said teasing.
"Shut up Ali" , Zayan said and looked at Aisha.
"Aishu..bhabhi coffee nahi pee sakthi..",Zayan got cut off by Mahira.
"Kyun? Mein bemaar hun kya?" , Mahira asked
"Nahi par pregnant ho aap" , Zayan said.
"Relax Mr. Overprotective devar..ye chai hai healthy wala..", Aisha said rolling her eyes.
"Aap lijiye bhabhi", Aisha said sweetly giving her.
Aisha saw Ashiq who was sulking.
She walked towards him.
"Kya chahiye Ashu? Dhoodh peeyoge?" , Aisha asked affectionately caressing his hair.
"Nahi chahiye kuch bi", Ashiq said stubbornly.
Mahira sighed whereas other were confused at his behaviour.
"Kya hua? Neendh aarahi hai?" , Aisha tried once again.
"Nahi aaraha hai neendh..mujhe jaana hai.." ,Ashiq said stubbornly.
"Kahan jaana hai?" , Azwaan asked being confused.
"Trip" , Ashiq said, tears gathering.
"Kounsa trip Ashu? " , Aisha asked taking him in his lap.
Ashiq just silent. Everyone looked Mahira while she sighed.
"School trip hai...manali le ke jaarahe hain school Walon..", Mahira said.
"Manali?" , Azwaan's eyes widened.
"Haan..aur maine kaha iski dada kabhi nahi maanenge..toh shuru hogaya tab se..Haider ne thoda daanta aur bas zid karraha tha ki yahan aane ka" , Mahira said.
"Ashu..bhabhi sahi kehrahi hai..bhaiya nahi maanenge..kaise bhejenge tumhe itna door..nahi reh paayenge tumhare bina..", Aisha tried convincing.
"Haan Ashu..dekho..mujhe bi allow nahi kiya bhaiya , Aishu ko bi aur Aryan Bhai bi nahi gaye the school trip pe..", Azwaan said in his part of convincing the stubborn kid.
Par mujhe jaana hai., Ashu said stubbornly.
Everyone sighed at this stubborn kid.
God knows what will happen when Hridaan reaches home.
