The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow on the Raichand breakfast table. Anirudh, unable to contain his excitement, shared the details of his conversation with Vasudha the previous night. The family members gathered around the table, eager to know more about the girl who had captured Anirudh's heart.

Anirudh: "Good morning, everyone! I have some exciting news to share. Vasudha is a Chartered Accountant, and she works at McKinsey!"

The revelation sparked interest around the table, and curious glances were exchanged among the family members. Yashvardhan, with a knowing smile, chimed in, "I already knew she was a CA. In fact, I had decided long ago that Vasudha would be the perfect CFO for the Raichand Empire."

Anirudh, pleasantly surprised, nodded in agreement, "Well, Dadaji, I guess great minds think alike. Jaisa aapko theek lage!"

Yashvardhan: " Vasudha's skills and expertise will undoubtedly contribute to the growth of our business."

Anirudh's dad, Nachiket, added his thoughts, "I've had the opportunity to interact with Vasudha, and I am confident that her strategic insights will be invaluable. This is a positive step for the company."

Naitik Chachu, reflecting on the potential collaboration, chimed in, "Anirudh, it's wonderful that Vasudha is joining the Raichand Group. I can already envision the positive impact she'll have on our financial strategies."

Nakul Chachu shared his perspective, "From a personal experience, I can say that Vasudha is not only capable but also has a keen understanding of financial intricacies. She'll make an excellent CFO."

The unanimous support from Anirudh's family members reflected the unity and trust that defined the Raichand family. As they discussed Vasudha's role in the company, it became clear that her integration was not just a professional decision but a harmonious blending of familial and business considerations. The Raichand Group was not just gaining a Chief Financial Officer; they were welcoming a new member into their closely-knit family, someone whose skills and capabilities would contribute significantly to the growth and success of the business.

The breakfast table, once a place of routine conversations, now buzzed with the anticipation of the changes that Vasudha's presence would bring. The Raichand family, always united in their endeavors, looked forward to embracing Vasudha not just as a daughter-in-law but as an integral part of their collective journey.

As the breakfast conversation continued, Nakul Chachu and Pallavi Chachi, who had decided to shift to Vasudha's home, moved forward with their plans.

As Nakul Chachu and Pallavi Chachi entered Vasudha's home, they were greeted by a welcoming atmosphere. Vasudha, adorned in the grace of a Anarkali, approached them with respect and affection. As she bent down to touch their feet in a gesture of reverence, Nakul Chachu and Pallavi Chachi, moved by her humility, gently stopped her.

Nakul Chachu: "Vasudha beta, hum aapke in laws nahi hai, aapke parents hai after all ham hi aapka Kanyadaan karenge."

Pallavi Chachi: "Bilkul bache! You never have to think of me as your Chachi-saas. You are my daughter!"

With those words, Nakul Chachu and Pallavi Chachi enveloped Vasudha in a warm embrace. It was a hug that transcended formalities, symbolising the beginning of a new familial bond. Vasudha, touched by their acceptance and warmth, reciprocated the embrace, feeling a sense of belonging and love. The living room echoed with the joyous laughter and shared camaraderie of the newly formed trio.

Later, settled comfortably on the living room couch, Nakul Chachu, Pallavi Chachi, and Vasudha enjoyed the warmth of their freshly brewed tea. The aroma of the tea lingered in the air, creating a cozy atmosphere.

Vasudha: "This tea is amazing, Chachu! "

Nakul Chachu, pleased by the compliment, replied, "Arrey,  Chai banane mein toh mai mahir hoon. Tujhe pasand aayi toh ab mai tere liye banaya karunga!"

Pallavi Chachi, teasing her husband, said, "Nakul kyu bechari bachi ko pareshaaan kar rahe hai aap! Ek saal me ek baar dhang ki chai banate hai aap"

Nakul: "Meri chai ki wajah se hi aapje mujhse shaadi ki thi pallavi! Roz aapke liye chai banayi hai maine 3 saal college ke."

Pallavi: "Haan par Vasu toh Ani ke haath ki chai peeyegi na."

The couple shared a light-hearted laugh, and the conversation veered towards Anirudh making Vasudha blush!

Vasudha: "Aap bhi na chachi!"

Pallavi Chachi, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, teased Vasudha, "Arrey, tune toh ek hi nazar mein Anirudh ko ghaayal kar diya. Shaadi ke liye mana kar raha tha, par tujhse milne ke baad toh pura Romeo ban gaya hai."

Nakul Chachu, recalling his own love story, added, "Aakhir mera beta hai, bhul gayi aap college ke din, Pallavi? Kaise pataya tha itni mushkil se. Par jab dil mein koi bas jaata hai, toh phir sab kuch badal jata hai."

Encouraged by Vasudha's presence, Nakul Chachu and Pallavi Chachi delved into the beautiful chapters of their own love story. They shared anecdotes, moments of laughter, and even the challenges they faced during their courtship days. The living room echoed with nostalgia, laughter, and the warmth of shared experiences.

When the tales unfolded, Vasudha felt a sense of belonging and acceptance. The stories of love and companionship around her mirrored the deep connections within the Raichand family.

As their conversation continued, the door bell rang. Vasudha opened the door revealing Anirudh clad in a pink shirt again! Oh wait, did we mention Vasudha was wearing green too!

Pallavi said: " yeh Kya Roz Roz pink shirt laga rakhi Hai, Ani?"

Anirudh blushes and replies:" Chachi Aap ki Bahu ka favourite colour pink hai!"
Pallavi teases Anirudh and says: " Acha toh ab janaab sirf pink hi pehenege! Aur ek minute vasu ne bhi toh tera favourite colour pehna Hua Hai!"

Anirudh whines: " Chachi stop naaa!"
Pallavi : " acha okay, chal bata kya kar raha hai yahan par?"
Anirudh : " Aaj humara designer ke saath appointment hai phir Decorator ke paas jaana hai."

Pallavi though understand that he is asking for Vasudha but still decides to have a little fun: " acha footwear pehen kar aati hu phir chalte hai."
Anirudh's eyes widen at Pallavi's reply, and he says: " Chachi, Vasudha ko lekar Jana hai!"

Pallavi says to Nakul : " Dekh rahe Hai Aap Abhi Bhool Gaya!"

Anirudh: " Chachi Puri life Hai mujhe aur Vasudha ko tease karne Ke  liye filhal le jane ho do na! Kitna kaam karna hai!"
Pallavi instructs Vasudha to go with Anirudh.
Vasudha: " Par Chachi, Abhi toh aap aur chachu aayen hai. Pehle aap lunch kar lijiye. Maine sab bana kar rakha hai."
Pallavi: " Vasu, hum manage kar lenge aur please itni formality mat kar aur jaa jaldi se saare functions ke liye outfits select kar le."

With this, Vasudha and Anirudh move towards the car and leave for the designer's Boutique.
Anirudh: " Aap bahut sundar lag rahi hai Vasudha. Mujhe nahi pata tha, ki mujhe green itna pasand hai!"
Vasudha blushes at his comment and moves her gaze to the other side.
Anirudh: " Meri Taraf Dekhiye na, Vasudha! Bataiye yeh wala pink kaisa hai?"
Vasudha : " Aap bahut ache lag rahe hai."
Anirudh blushes profusely and continues to stare at her. His gaze move towards her hand while his hand aches to hold hers. Vasudha follows his gaze tells him: " aap mera haath pakad sakte hai, raichand ji."
Her words is all it takes for him to hold her hand and tighten his grip on it. The love birds smile looking at their entwined hands!
