Sweat beads formed on Rishi's forehead as they reached sooner to his house.

"Stop it " Rishi screamed when the car was just ten steps away from the house.

The driver stopped the car immediately being terrified.

"Take the car to your home, I will manage from here " Rishi gave a creepy nervous smile to the Driver which made him cringe. He nodded his head and Rishi came out with a sleeping Suchi on his chest supported by his arms.

He took shaky steps towards the house.
What should I do now? Shall I spend my night in the temple? But Suchi is with me, I can't. What do I do now?
I can use the back door maybe... Nobody will be there and I have the keys.
Never knew stolen back door keys will come to my rescue one day.

He sighed in relief and went to the back door happily moving his limbs where he was greeted by his lovely family, "Hi Son!" Andy and Mahir chirped quickly as they saw him.

Rishi's eyes bulged out looking at them. Sumi was crying holding her Saree pallu while Badi Dadi, Bela, and Kuhu were trying to calm her down.

Bade Dadu, Andy, and Mahir were standing in front of him crossing their arms over their chests. Rj and Shaan were awkwardly sitting on the bench trying to register what should they do.

There was complete silence when Meera came with a glass of water.

Looking at Rishi, the glass dropped from her hand, she covered her mouth with her palms.

"Oh no no! This was not perfect. Shaan I will come and drop the glass again, you watch it carefully then rate it on 10. Okay? " She didn't even look at Shaan again and went to the kitchen to get another glass to drop.

Bela rolled her eyes looking at Mahir, "like father, like daughter"

"So? " Mahir raised a cocky brow at Rishi, dragging a few chairs from the surrounding.
For some unknown reason, Mahir looked extremely excited about the fact that they were going to confront Rishi.

"S... S... So? " Rishi masked an unbothered expression on his face, shrugging his shoulders.

"You know you are not getting away easily, Son! Better be a good boy and explain EACH AND EVERYTHING" Mahir burst giving a pure villain grin.

Rishi nervously shifted in his place.

"He does not think us of as his family, Mahir. Let it be. I never knew that I would have to see this day where my own Grandson will hide such a big truth from all of us. We could never make a place in his heart. " Sumi said wiping her eyes with her saree pallu, trying to be the perfect melodramatic Grandmother.

"Wow! 10 on 10 for that Babe! " Meera came running from the kitchen and whistled. Sumi gave a high-five to her and turned towards Rishi for an answer.

Everyone shook their head at their act.

"Oh shit! I forgot the glass in the kitchen. You, people, continue banging Rishi bhaiyu's head. I will be back. Remember, no series drama without me! " She ran inside the kitchen again.
"

"Mr.Rishi Andy Seghal you are required to explain...awww" Andy was instructing him when Suchi stirred on Rishi's chest.

Andy moved closer to Rishi trying to look at Suchi's face.
"I will see first" Sumi pushed Andy to the side.
"Me too" Bade Dadu and Dadi too followed.

"No way! I will be the first one " Kuhu stood beside Rishi

"I am sure her eyes are like me " Andy chirped battling his eyelashes.

"Nope, they will be like me. Mine is more beautiful" Sumi shook her head denying the possibility of Suchi's eyes being like Andy's.

"Nope, not at all.... "

And soon there started a discussion about whose eyes are more beautiful.

Rj and Shaan still looked clueless about the whole thing while Meera came back to drop the glass again but everyone was already indulged in a very important discussion and how can she miss it? Keeping the glass aside, she too joined them.

Bela and Mahir gave a look at each other and sighed seeing the whole chaos.

Listening to the loud noises, Suchi woke up, as soon as she opened her eyes, she was graced by many unfamiliar faces. She got scared and started crying loudly clutching Rishi's shirt in her small fists.

Rishi quickly started patting her back, "Dadda! " She hiccupped burying her face again in his chest.

Rishi turned around such that they were not facing his family members, "what happened to my baby" Rishi swung her in his arms, "Do you see stars Suchi? "He lifted her up making her see stars. He tickled her belly and she laughed holding his wrist. " Dadda" She gave him, her butterfly smile, throwing her hands around his neck. Rishi too giggled along with her.

When turned around, he saw his Family members already giving him jealous glares.

"Suchi, come to me " Sumi forwarded her hands showing chocolates to Suchi which she stole from Andy's pocket while Andy too was searching for a bar of chocolate in his pocket but later realized Sumi had already stolen it. He huffed in annoyance.

Suchi looked at Rishi, once she got his approval, she kept her hands in Sumi's. Sumi gladly pulled her in her arms, cooing her.

She moved to another side While kuhu and Meera followed her.
Andy too wanted to go but Mahir dragged him back pulling his shirt stating that he was going to have some important words with Rishi. Scrunching his nose, Andy stood there.

"So, I don't have much time to waste. Tell me Rishi, how many years? " Andy folded his arms on his chest.

"For what? " Rishi asked in confusion.

"Rishi don't waste our time as well as yours. Tell us now " Andy glared at him.

"But seriously Dadu, I don't know what are you talking about" Rishi whispered being on the verge of tears.

"My dear Rishi" Andy came forward to hug him, looking at his sad face but Mahir again pulled him back. "Dad, you were going to have a serious talk with him" Mahir gritted his teeth.

"Oh sorry! " Andy shook his head and proceeded to talk to Rishi.

"Your Marriage Rishi. How many years? " Andy asked.

"What? Marriage? I am not married Dadu" Rishi looked at him shocked.

"What you are not married? " Andy and Mahir screamed after him.

"Y...Y... Yes " Rishi blinked his tears away.

"Shameless...desperate... You... How can you Rishi? I never thought you are like this " Mahir eyed him from top to bottom and shook his head.

"Dad... I... I" Rishi tried to say when Mahir interrupted him"Shut up Rishi. Just Shut up! I never expected this from you"

Rishi hung his head low looking at Fuming Mahir. He just wished 'tomorrow' to come soon.

"Why didn't you bring your wife? " Andy asked this time glaring at Mahir for making his dear Grandson cry.

"She had to go to the hospital, she will come and explain everything tomorrow" Rishi mumbled looking at the Ground.

"No! Not at all! we are not going to listen to any of your explanations. You must have fed your words to your girlfriend. We won't listen to her too. " Mahir declared still burning some hot holes in Rishi's skull.

"But... " Rishi tried to say when Mahir cut him off "you both are getting married day after tomorrow that's it"

"D... Day after tomorrow? " Rishi's eyes widen like saucers. He gulped his saliva sensing the seriousness in Mahir's voice.

"Of course...considering how desperate you are, you will give us another Grandson or Granddaughter in a month or two. This time we want to take care of our daughter when she is pregnant. You are getting married the day after tomorrow. Try running away and I will break your legs" Mahir completed and left the place dragging Andy and Bade Dadu along with him who was already sympathizing with Rishi.

Rishi sniffed looking at angry Mahir and looked at Bela with hopeful eyes
