Cabir and Navya smile at their excitement....
After sometime another call pulls down into the campus alerting the dhawans who turn to see Vedants getting down from the car bringing a wide smile on everyone's face.
Abhir(shouts excitedly):Amy.....Aashi....
Hearing his shouts vedants snap their head to see dhawans standing there with a beautiful smile.
Alya:Cabir(she squeals like a child and run towards him while dhruv follows her chuckling)
Cabir hugging alya tightly:kaise ho make up kit....
Alya:so happy after seeing you joker.....
Cabir chuckles while dhruv hugs them together saying
Dhruv:mein bhi hoon guys....
Cabir:hello topiwale......
Dhruv:ab mein topi nahi pehantha cabir...ab tho mujhe chod dhae....
Alya and Cabir laugh at him.....Then alya moves towards navya happily and both hug each other tightly muttering "Missed you".Then dhruv too hugs navya asking "kaise ho navya" to which she replies "achi hoon dhruv".....While on the other side younger clan hug each other excitedly.

Abhir:and that's the reason of us standing here too....
Amyra:ok then hum bhi wait karthae hain...
Saying this she sat beside navya talking with her while others too sat there.....Their talks get disturbed hearing a voice....
Rushal and Hridhik:kiyu sammalkae........ghir jaogae....
Vedants and dhawans turn to see the Thakkar boys shouting at kiyara who is jumping around carelessly......Kiyara's leg trips and she was about to fall when a hand holds her shoulder stoping her from falling.....
Abhir(making her stand):sammalkae choti....itni kya jaldi hai.....
Kiyara(hugging him tightly with a smile):aapsae milnae ki jaldi thi bhai.......
Abhir mutters "pagal" and hugs her tightly.....Then kiyara moves towards girls while thakkar boys hug abhir tightly......Elders adore them with a smile while
Cabir:oye lady bheem mooh bandh kar apni makkiyaan kus jayeingae.....
Mukthi makes a whatever face and runs to him to take him in a bone crushing hug which he reciprocates with the equal favour.Alya and Dhruv too join the hug all muttering "missed you guys"
Aryaman:hoy matarani.......kaise ho....
Navya hugging him tightly:bohath achae hain aryaman........tum kaise ho....
Aryaman:tumhe dheknae kae baath tho bohath karaab hoon...
Navya slaps his shoulder still in the hug while abhi joins them in the hug and both kiss navya's forehead making her shed some tears.....then they all hug each other......
Aryaman:tho ab asusual iss malhothras ki wait karna padega humhe......
Others:exactly......
Kiyara:tab tak hum andhar jaakae dhek sakthae na?
Abhir:yeh log nahi aayeingae behna.....
Rushal:kyun?
Abhir,Ayeisha,Amyra,Aashi:kyunki yehlog apnae saarae friends kae bina andhar jaana nahi chahthae........
Hridhik:ohhh....phir tho hum bhi wait kareingae.....
They all talk for sometime when another call enters into the campus making all smile....They turn to see manik getting down from the driver seat and kids from back......
Manik stare at the nameboard with a smile while
Cabir:oh hello malhothras....aaplog already late ho....ab uss namboard ko stare karkae aaur wakt naah waste karo.....
Manik(shaking his head):kabhi nahi sudrega yeh......
He starts to walk towards them but mukti pounces on him without warning making him stumble but he balances and smile while hugging her tightly back.Breaking the hug he kisses her forehead while dhruv and alya jumps on him which he too reciprocates with a smile.Lastly he looks at cabir with a teasing look and says
Manik:tu yahaan aanae ka risk mat lae...umar bad gayi haina tho thoda tough hoga tere liye......tu ruk mein hi aajatha hoon.....
Cabir:haan mein tho bool hi gaya ki manik malhothra ab bhi atthara saal kae hain(sarcastically).....
Manik:haan ruk mein abhi prove kartha hoon(saying this he jumps on cabir who stumbles because of manik's weight)
Cabir(shouts):oye kutte...kameenae....hatt.....koi bacho mujhe......oye kutub minaar teri height balance nahi horahi hai....hattnaa.......
Manik gets off him with a smile while cabir pants heavily.....But soon they both were hugging each other tightly.....
Cabir:Missed you majnu....
Manik:missed you so much cabiraa.....
They extend their hand towards mukti,alya and dhruv who join them happily.....Afters breaking the hug
Mukti:finally after years we had a group hug man.....It felt so amazing....
Navya:nandu kahaan hai?(to malhothras)
Manik:voh aashu sae baath karahi thi car mein hai....
Before anyone could say anything they heard a squeal "navyaaaaaaa".....Before they could react they heard another squeal making them close their ears "nanduuuuuuu".....Navya and Nandhini run towards each other and hug tightly muttering many "missed you".......After sometime they break the hug hearing arya's fake cough.......
Arya and Abhi:hum bhi hai yahaan.....
Nandhini run to them and hug them together making them chuckle.......They both kiss her head with affection while she shows them her 32 teeth.......
Abhi:kaisi ho?
Arya:ab isse kyun poochraha hai tu humhe tho manik sae poochna chahiyae ki voh kaisa hai iske saath rehkar.....
Nandhini punches him at stomach to which he rubs his stomach with a smile......
Then manik and nandhini meet everyone while the younger malhothras stood there admiring them.....
Cabir:tumlog vahan kya kadae ho.....come here(he extends his hand seeing which malhothra kids run towards him and hugs cavya together.......
Then they meet the younger clan with hugs and greetings.........
Mukti:nandhini tumhari baat hui Rockstar sae?kab aaraha hai.......
Nandhini:aagaya hai mukti.....flight land hogayi hai....he is on his way.....
Alya:I am really excited to meet him.....har meet pae uska height difference hotha tha yaar...

Arya:yaar aaplog tho meri excitement bada rahae ho.....
Abhi:haan mujhe tho milna hi hai usse ab...
Nandhini(smiling):aajayega bas kuch dher mein......
Someone from back hugs manik through neck making him stumble and he holds that person's hand with a smile......
Manik:kaisa hai mera champ?
Abhir:bohath acha chachu....I missed you.....
Manik pulls abhir in front and hugs him tightly muttering "missed you too"
Abhir:bas dho minute call attend karnae gaya tha aur uss gap mein aaplog aagayein.....buddy kahaan hai?
Manik:aaraha hai tera buddy.....on his way....
Cabir:okay then....tabtak we could take a round right?

Rushal(sitting besides him):you guys can go if you want...
Akshanth(sitting besides him):mein bhi bhai kae saath aaunga....
Girls too sit at nearby benches......
Mukti:Sometimes I don't know whether I should be happy or sad for their friendship(pissed)
Arya(chuckling):humharae bachae hain humharae jaise hi tho hongae na.....
Navya:they won't move an inch without aashu....so we have no other option than waiting for him......
Elders too sit there talking and waiting for aashank malhothra..........After 10 minutes.......
Hitakshi(slapping her forehead):aiyyapaa...dhadha car keys dhona(extending her hand)
Manik(giving the keys):kya hua babycakes?
Hitakshi:fireflies jar ko meine aisa hi seat pae rakh dhiya.........agar girgaya tho?mein lekhae aathi hoon.....
Amyra:ruk mein bhi chalthi hoon......
(They both get up to move)
Hridhik:do you want me to come?
Mukti:For Your Kind Information Mr.Thakkar voh log yahi parking mein jaarahae hain kahi dhoor nahi ki aap itna worry karrahae ho(sarcastically)........
Hridhik returns a sheepish smile.......
Arya:sammalkae babies.....
Both:jii......
They were returning after taking the jar from parking and they reach the entrance while hitakshi's phone rings which was in her pocket.So she gives the jar to Amyra while taking the phone out.Amyra who had phone on her one hand was fiddling with the jar and atlast it slips from her hand making both the girls and their family who were looking at them gasp. Hitakshi closes her eyes in shock.Not hearing any sound she opens her eyes to see two hands holding the jar.Amyra raises her eyes to see the owner of the other hand to see a guy holding it.Both were lost in each other's eyes.On the other hand cabir who was drinking water looks at his family who were having a terrified look seeing somewhere so he too follows their gaze to see amyra and a guy holding a jar.He spits the drink seeing the scene infront of him.All were shocked and surprised too see the scene.They holding the jar is not the thing that surprised them but the fireflies which were glowing inside the jar made them astonished.Manik and Nandhini look at each other in surprise while cabir says
Cabir:ek aaur manan?.....
The guy and amyra come out of the trance hearing abhir's shout "buddy".......Saying this he runs towards the guy while hearing his shout both the guy and amyra were startled and the jar slips from their hands....Seeing the jar again falling hitakshi moves to hold the jar at the same time abhir too holds it making the elders gasp again......
Alya:ek aaur couple?
She says seeing the fireflies glowing again........
Hitakshi sighs in relief seeing the jar safe but frowns seeing the fireflies glowing and look at the other person holding the jar to get the shock of her life......Her mother's words ring in her ears "jahaan true love hotha haina vahaan fireflies glow kareingae".......she hurriedly took the jar from his hand making him confused but he shrugs it off and hugs the guy tightly shouting "buddy".Manan along with Akshant already know who is the guy as they identified at the instant they saw him.But now the other elders get to see the guy's face who is "Aashank Manik Malhothra"......
