Radhika was pulled out of the car by the trio of Ruhaan, Heer and Mishti. They were dragging her to the jewelry store and that was when they heard the cry of an eagle. Everyone look up to see an eagle. It flys in circles above them. Ruhaan, Heer and Mishti smile when they see the eagle.

"Sikander!" The trio yells together in excitement and the eagle began to descend.

The eagle descended and then sat on Radhika's shoulder. It shocked Ishan, Ruhaan, Heer, Shauraya, Richa and Mishti because Sikander was never very friendly with anyone. He was only friendĺy with Ruhaan, Shauraya, Mishti, Heer, and Ishan. It took him some time to warm up to Richa when she got married into the Randhawa family.

Radhika places her hand out for Sikander and he climbs onto her hand. She strokes his fur and strokes him under his beak. He let out a soft growl and curls up, shocking Ishan. Sikander liking someone was a big thing. The only reason he was comfortable with Heer, Ruhaan and Mishti wss because they were Ishan's children and he was comfortable with Shauraya was because he is Ishan's father.

Sikander then flew from Radhika's hand and then onto Ishan's shoulder. He then burst into flames and turned into a wand that turned into rolled into Ishan's hand. Radhika, Omkara, and Gauri were surprised at what just happened.

"I know beta ki tum confused ho. Actually humare ghar pe jinn ka saiya hai, toh jo bhi uss ghar mein paida hota hai, ya fir shadi karke aata hai, usse bhi jadoo mil jata hai," Richa explained to Radhika. She had noticed the look of confusion on Gauri, Om and Radhika's face.

(I know dear that you are confused. Actually our house is under the influence of a genie, whoever is born or is married into it, obtains magic.)

"Haan beta, Richa ji sahi bol rahi hai, mere, Ishan, Ruhaan, Heer, Mishti, aur Richa ji ke pass yeh jadoo hai," Shauraya further explained while they continued to walk inside the jewel store.

(Yes drar, Richa ji is right. Ishaan, Ruhaan, Heer, Mishti, Richa ji and I have magic.)

"Mom jab aap aayegi toh apko bhi yeh jadoo mil jayega. Humari jo bhi wands hai woh animals ke roop mein humare saath rehti hai," Ruhaan continued what Shauraya explained.

(Mom when you marry into our family, you will also receive it. Our  wands are with us in the form of animals.)

"For example; Dada ka hai Sikander jo ki ek eagle hai, Dadu ka hai snake hai, Ruhaan bhai ka ek wolf hai, mere pass ek peacock hai, Mishi ka puppy hai and Richu ka pass ek deer hai. Apka pata nhi kya hoga?" Heer concluded and filled Radhika with the information.

(For example; Dada has Sikander, who is an eagle. Grandpa has a snake. Ruhaan bro has a wolf. I have ana peacock, Mishti has a puppy and Richu has a deer. I wonder what you are going to have?)

Radhika nodded her head, showing that she understood. They all went back to their small conversations with each other. Ishan placed his wand in his breast pocket and then walked beside Radhika. They all sat in front of the glass case. The owner of the store himself greeted them.

"Good morning, everyone. I mean its not everyday you get to see the Oberois and Randhawas together. Tell me sir, what can I help you guys with?" The owner greeted with a smile on his face. As soon as he knew that the Oberois and Randhawas were coming over, he drove all the way.

"Yes, actually we would like to see engagement rings for my Dada and my mom," Ruhaan answered in a cold and distant tone. Radhika glanced at him, like he grew two heads.

"Certainly Mr.Ruhaan, please if will follow me," The owner guides the Randhawas and Oberois to a room that was in the back.

The room was painted in a dark maroon colour. The lighting in the room made it very bright. The owner of the store asked some of his employees to bring rings to showcase. The Randhawas and the Oberois sat on the couches while the owner sat in front of them.

"Sir, here you can see, we have a teardrop cut ring with diamonds imported from Spain." The owner moved forward a princess cut ring with a sparkling diamond sitting on top.

Radhika glanced at the kids who immediately shake their head, rejecting the ring. This went on for a while. The owner was also annoyed at how picky these kids are. Omkara noticed his annoyance and decided to save him from his grandchildren.

"Mr.Tanishq, please show us something that is unique and at the same time it is elegant." Omkara saved the owner a lot of time after saying that because the owner knew exactly what to show.

"Of course Mr.Oberoi." The owner mentally thanked Omkara.

The owner nodded to his staff to bring the only thing that matched their filters. God! Why were the Oberois and Randhawas so picky? The staff presents a emerald cut ring.

"Sir, this is the only piece we have. It's  a 100 carat emerald cut ring with a platinum ring. The total price of this ring is $23 U.S. dollars excluding the tax." The owner presented their most precious ring to the family.

Radhika looked at the kids with an exhausted smile. She seriously hated shopping, it drained a lot of energy from her body. The Randhawa kids looked at the ring with great inspection. While the staff and the owner prayed to the lord to let this be the ring.

"I wike it Dada. It will look niwe on Momma. She so pretty." Mishti made grabby grabby hands towards Radhika after she approved of the ring.

Radhika lifted Mishti up in her arms and sat her down on her laps. The staff and owner let out a sigh of relief when they finally decided on the ring. But their struggle wasn't over just yet. They had to showcase the wedding band, the traditional punjabi bangles and other jewelry.

The Oberois and Randhawas sat on the couches after a dinner. It was a really long day and now they could finally rest. The whole Oberoi family was present and pleasantries were served.

"Bahi kal ki saari taiyaar ho gayi hai." Dadi exclaimed. She was so excited about tomorrow because her favourite great grandchild was getting married.

(All the preparations for tomorrow are done.)

"Haan sahi kaha apne babes, aur fir finally Ridhu yahan se chali jayegi." Ranak joked around trying to have fun.

(Yes you are right Babes, and then finally Ridhu will go away from here.)

"WHAT! Bhai ab aap dekho." Radhika squeals before she takes off from her seat.

(WHAT! Brother now you wait.)

Ranak quickly ran to save his life. Radhika chased him around the living room of the Oberoi Mansion. Everyone enjoyed this small chase and Mishti enjoyed it the most. Mishti was jumping up and down while cheering for Radhika. Everyone laughs when Radhika caught up with Ranak and pinched his cheeks hardly.

"Ma'am, the outhouse is ready and prepared for the guest. Radhika ma'am and Omkara sir aap dono ka barf wala pani aapke rooms main rakh diya hai." One of the house helps interpreted.

(Ma'am, the outhouse is ready and prepared for the guest. Radhika ma'am and Omkara sir your ice water has been placed in her room.)

"Thank you, Rani di. Ab tum ghar jaa sakhti ho and haan aap na Shakti aur Jai ko mera hello bolna." Radhika dismisses the house-help nicely.

(Thank yoy, Rani sister. Now you can go home and also say hello to Shakti and Jai for me.)

The house-help nods and then walks away to go home after a long day. The families both hold pleasant conversations. Ishan was mostly sitting out of these conversations and Radhika who was sketching something on her iPad noticed this.

"Chalo ab sote hai, bohat raat ho chuki hai. Kal mere puttar ki Roka bhi hai." Dida said with excitement lacing her voice.

(Okay now let's sleep, it's really late. Tomorrow is the engagement of my dear.)

"Haan mummy ji aap sahi bol rahi hai." Richa agreed with her mother-in-law because sleeping was the only was the night would pass faster and she was so excited for her son's wedding.

The Randhawas and Oberois said their goodbyes and were about to go to the outhouse, when they saw Mishti and Heer clinging to Radhika's side. They were looking at the sketch Radhika drew. The sketch was of a lion and lioness.

The girls watched Radhika as she shaded the sketch to make it look more realistic. Everyone smiles at the girls while Ishan and Ruhaan watch the girls intrigued because they never saw these two behave like this.

"Mishi, Heer chalo sone." Shauraya said while he yawned because of being incredibly tired.

(Mishi, Heer let's sleep.)

"No Dadu, aap jao hum na Mom ke saath soye ge." Heer answered without tearing her eyes from the iPad.

(No Dadu, you all go sleep, we will sleep with Mom.)

"Are you sure? I mean Mom ko pochlo ki woh comfortable hai ya nhi?" Ruhaan suggested while he texted his PA for something he was planning.

(Are you sure? I mean ask Mom if she is comfortable or not?)

"Ruhaan, it's all right. Anyways humari bhi girls sleepover ho jayega." Radhika clarified that she was comfortable with them sleeping with her.

(Ruhaan, it's all right. We will have a girls sleepover.)

"Okay then goodnight Mom." Ruhaan wished and with that left.

The Randhawas headed to the outhouse, while the Oberois headed to their respective rooms. The three girls sat there and watched the sketch come to life.

The girls sat there for what felt like two hours and completed the sketch. That was until Mishti small stomach decided to let out loud growl of hunger making Radhika and Heer look at her and laugh.

"Gulabo mujhe bhooki-bhooki lagi hai." Mishti said while patting her stomach and then rubbing it.

(Gulabo, I mean hungry.)

"Haan Mom mujhe bhi bhook lagi hai." Heer agreed with Mishti and both pouted cutely.

(Yes Mom, even I am hungry.)

"Okay fine. Chalo kitchen mein chalte hai." Radhika finally gave up when they started showing her their cute puppy face and eyes.

(Okay fine. Let's go to the kitchen.)

Mishti and Heer both leaped off the couch and ran to the kitchen having a mini race. Radhika placed her iPad on the table and then walked to the kitchen with a small smile.
