"Aayi ho kaha se gori
Aankhon me pyaar leke
Dilli sheher ka saara
Meena Bazaar leke"

Everyone reached at Yuvi's house for the get together.

The minute Aashita saw Shambhavi she rushed to her and hugged her tightly.

"Didi, I missed you." Shambhavi chuckled.

"You saw me yesterday, Aashu." Shambhavi said.

Aashita opened her mouth to reply but before that she was pulled into a group hug.

Aashita, Saina, Srijani, Nimrat and Shambhavi hugged each other tightly. They were also chuckling in the hug.

"Lo shuru ho gaya inka." Virat commented.

"Tujhe kya problem hai?" Rohit asked.

Yuvraj and Hazel also came out to greet them. But when Yuvraj went to hug Mahi. He shrugged him off.

"Oye. Ki hoya?" Yuvraj asked.

"Ki hoya? Tell me why did you say in that podcast that we're not close friends. Since, we are not close, I don't think we should hug." Mahi said.

"It was just a podcast." Yuvi tried to justify.

"Maine kaha tha, Mahi bhai naraz honge." Nimrat teased earning her a light slap on the back of her head by Shambhavi.

"Didi." Nimrat whined.

"Nimmi." Shambhavi mocked.

"Yaar tu purani baatein chhod na. Tu mera dost tha, hai aur rahega." Yuvi said.

Mahi looked at him and hugged him tightly.

"Ho gaya Ramji aur Bharatji ka Milaap." Saina commented.

Srijani lightly twisted Saina's ears.

"Bahut zubaan chal rahi hai." Rohit said.

"Jaane do na, Bhaiya. Sabse choti hai." Shambhavi said.

"Haan haan tum toh ussi ki side logi, Bhavi." Rohit said.

"Haan yeh toh apne choti beheno ki side hi leti hai humesha." Kl Rahul said.

Shambhavi shook her head. She hugged her bhaiyas and Bhabhis and their children.

After a while all of them went inside the house.

"Abhay aaya hai kya Nimmi?" Srijani asked.

"Haan haan bataiye na." Saina teased.

"Bhavi didi, dekho na." Nimrat whined.

"Sri. Sai. Don't tease her." Shambhavi said sternly.

Shambhavi spotted Bhuvaneswar Kumar, Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara, Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik standing together. Shambhavi rushed to them.

"Bhuvi Bhaiya, Sonu Bhaiya, Ajju Bhaiya, Pujji Bhaiya, Shiki Bhaiya, Dk Bhaiya. I missed you guys so much." Shambhavi said and hugged them all.

"We miss you too." They all said.

"Where are my Bhabhis?" Shambhavi asked.

Shambhavi met her Bhabhis and started talking to them.

On the other hand, Saina was with Jasprit Bumrah and his wife Sanjana and their son Angad and Virat and Anuskha.

Srijani was with Ishant Sharma and Rohit and Mahi.

Aashita was with Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Surya Kumar Yadav and their respective wives and children.

Nimrat was checking that everything was on time or not. She bumped itno someone.

"I'm sorry." Nimrat apologised

"That's the first time I saw you apologizing to someone."

Nimrat looked up and saw Abhishek Sharma was standing infront of her with a sarcastic smile. She opened her mouth to reply but remembered that Yuvi bhai need no commotion today. Nimrat simply ignored him and went towards Shambhavi. Abhay frowned getting no attention from her.

"Bhavi, baccha, come here." Mahi called Shambhavi.

"Main abhi aayi Bhuvi bhai." Shambhavi said and went towards her brother.

"Bhavi, meet my junior, Washington Sundar." Mahi introduced.

"Hello, sir. I'm a huge fan." Shambhavi said.

"Hi and please call me Washington or Washi." Washington introduced himself.

Shambhavi nodded and smiled. They shook each others hands. Shambhavi noticed something shift in his eyes. They grew dark. She was not going to deny that he was hot but she had no time for relationship. She recently got the post of Manager of Indian Cricket Team. She excused herself and went towards Nimrat.

Kl Rahul called Aashita. Aashita went towards him. She saw that her brother was not alone. He was standing with her long time crush, Devdutt Padikkal.

"Dev, meet my sister Aashita and Aashita meet my kiddo Devdutt Padikkal." Rahul introduced.

"Hi. Nice to meet you."

"Hey! Nice to meet you too."

They shook hands. Rahul was dragged away by Harry. Devdutt and Aashita were staring into each other's eyes. Their hands were still in the handshake. Their eye contact broke when someone cleared their throats. They jump apart and saw Shambhavi and Nimrat standing there with a smirk.

"Hey Bhavi di. Hi Nimrat." Devdutt greeted awkwardly and excused himself.

"Aashi and Dev were totally staring into each other eyes." Nimrat said.

Aashita hid her face in her palm and hugged Shambhavi out of shyness. Shambhavi and Nimrat were chuckling at her.

"Hello bhaiya. How are you?" Shubman asked.

"Shub, I'm good what about you?" Virat asked.

"Srijani, meet Shubman." Virat introduced.

"Hi." Srijani greeted.

"Hey." Shubman greeted back.

"Bhaiya, main Bhavi di, Nimmi aur Aashi ke paas jaa rahi hu." Srijani said.

Srijani went to her friends. Shambhavi noticed something off about her.

"What happened, Sri?" Shambhavi asked.

"Di, I just met Shubman. He's so perfect and I'm so broken." Srijani said and sighed sadly.

"You're not broken. You have battled more demons than any of us. Chill karo. You're perfect the way you are. Aur phir se apne baare me bakwaas ki na jo zor se kaan ke neeche baja dungi" Shambhavi said.

Srijani laughed and they started talking among themselves.

Saina was drinking water when someone tapped on her shoulder. She turned and saw Dhruv.

"Aa gya tu finally. Kitna wait kiya hai maine tera." Saina said, vexed.

"Sorry na. Traffic me phas gaya tha." Dhruv explained himself.

"Koi baat nahi. Now tell me. What was do important that you couldn't tell me on the text or on a call." Saina asked

Dhruv was dragged away by Rohit before he could say anything. Saina shrugged her shoulder and went towards her didi's.

"Haan to Nimmi didi. Maine dekha aapne kaise Abhay bhaiya ko ignore kiya." Saina teased.

Shambhavi, Aashita and Srijani hid their smile.

"Chup ho ja meri ma. Nahi pasand woh mujhe. Ek baar aur kaha na phir dekhna tu." Nimrat threatened.

The girls were chatting among themselves when they saw a big cake coming in the garden.

"Nimrat you should greet other guest as well. We will be fine." Aashita said.

"Haan na. Go and greet them or they will declare you a brat." Srijani said.

Nimrat nodded and greeted other guests.

"Nimmi." Abhay called.

"Don't you have a life?" Nimrat said.

"I do. But teasing you is more fun." Abhay said.

"So is completing school. It is clear that you didn't seeing as you don't know shit about how to act in gathering." Nimrat fired.

"You can give me a etiquette lesson." Abhay said with a sarcastic smile.

"You desperately need one." Nimrat said and turned around to leave.

Abhay grabbed her elbow. Nimrat pushed him so he would leave her but Abhay shoved her back. They started shoving each other which caught the attention of everyone in the party. Both Nimrat and Abhay hit the cake table and fell down and the cake got disbalanced and fell on Nimrat and Abhay.

"NIMMI! ABHAY!" Yuvi shouted sternly.

Abhay and Nimrat looked at each other with hatred. They were both covered with cake.

Shambhavi facepalmed. Srijani and Aashita were concerned for Nimrat and Saina was laughing.

Fight in the public gathering? Scandalous indeed.
