As Ramya and Krishna try to resolve who gets the chocolates without knowing the bet behind, the entire family gets into a playful war mode and Kriya yells "Pillowfightttttt".
*****Pillowfight between all the 4  with cotton flying all over*****

Next day, it was the typical Monday morning.
The kids and Ramya wake up late and rush around like headless chickens.

It was Krishna's cooking turn. Thankfully he woke up early and made breakfast and packed lunch for everyone. Ramya was running behind Kriya holding her undone braid on one side as she was moving towards her table to pack her school bag.

Krishna was rushing into the bathroom to bathe Rakshan and get him dressed up.
In a few minutes they could here the honks of the school bus.
Ramya and Krishna kiss goodbye to the kids and run back into their home to get ready for their workday.

R: "Mazhai penju onjaa mari iruka da Krishna! Breakfast aa saapdlaam vaa!! Enna special inniku!"

K: "Semiya upma.. nee okaaru naa kondu varen" ("ayyeh upma vaaa" murmurs Ramya in the background softly)

"Seri... nethi Ramani amma sonnadhuku naan enna pannatum? Aravindh enna konnuduvan. Moreover Asha enna nenaipa!! Indha Ramanima ku arive illa!"

Just then both of their phones beeped. They both received a msg in their 'Atlanta-AnnaNagar' whatsapp group.
It was Aravindh!

"Hey guys!! Me and Asha have a great news to share!!!"

Ramya smiles so wide at Krishna, "Dei Krishna!!!Problem solved!!" and calls Asha right away.

R: "Heyyyyy congrats you guys!!!! What a surprise!! Ipodhaan naanum Krishnavum ungala pathi pesindhom. Romba romba rombaaaa happppppy!! Quick video call?!"

Asha: "Hahaha thanks Rams.. idho let me turn on the video"

Ramya glares at Krishna (mind voice: iru da...unaku iruku!!) with clenched teeth and then turns towards the phone with a fake smile to hide her anger.

R: "Avan kedakaan Aravindh! Pregnancy is a magical journey. Rendu perum every stage and every step aa enjoy panunga..Asha, indha time la nee asapadardhu elaame Aravindh senju dhaan aaganum.. so enavenumo kettu vaangiko😝 vitudadha!!"

K:"....illanaaa.. , Atlanta vandhu paathuko nu sollaporiya da😬?"

Ar: "Unmaya solanum na.. rendume thaan!"

Ramya and Krishna are now clueless!
