In morning, Breakfast table :-
Abhi - Morning love.
Akshara (smiled) - Morning. 
Abhi - So, what's the plan for today?
Akshara - Nothing as of yet. 
Abhi - Did you talk to Abhir?
Akshara - Yeah, he is all good and he was asking about you. 
Abhi - Can i call him?
Akshara - Of course, let me make a call to Abhinav. I can give you Abhinav's contact as well but he is kind of childish, he won't pick up the call once he realised it is you. 
Akshara video called Abhinav, who picked it within couple of rings.
On Video call,
Abhinav - Look who is here....my long lost.... 
Akshara - ......good looking sister.
Abhinav - You? Good looking? Since when?
Akshara - Shut up. Call Abhir. 
Abhinav - You only said me to shut up, then how can i call Abhir. 
Akshara (rolled her eyes) - Don't irritate me you manchild, I want to talk to my kid.
Abhinav - Well, today is Sunday. So, i can waste all the time i want to waste.
Akshara - I will just spare myself the torture and won't take a second to hang up on you.
Abhinav - You can't be serious?
Akshara - Well i can just call Kavleen. 
Abhinav (whined) - That's cheating.......
Kavleen (came from behind) - What are you even waiting for? Just hang up and i will call you back. 
Abhinav (betrayed) - You are supposed to be on my side?
Kavleen (laughed) - Why? 
Abhinav - You are my wife.
Akshara - I guess, she is fed up of you.
Kavleen - Truth be told, i am. 
Kavleen called Abhir, who came running. Abhinav was holding the phone while Abhir was sitting ahead of him. Akshara talked to him and passed the phone to Abhimanyu, who was watching the banter between them.
Abhir - Pops!
The moment Abhinav saw Abhimanyu in the frame, he handed the phone to Abhir and left from there. Abhimanyu and Akshara talked to Abhir some more before bidding goodbye to him.
Abhi - Well, he didn't hang up the call.
Akshara - Because it was me who called him, not you, Stupid. 
Abhi - I was expecting him to insult or something.
Akshara - He is sensible, won't say anything in front of Abhir. 
Abhi - Well, i guess we got to meet and sort everything out, i mean i don't want to feel left out in the family. 
Akshara stared towards Abhimanyu for a second.
Abhi - What?
Akshara - Never change, stay like this.
Abhi - huh?
Akshara - I don't talk about it, doesn't mean i don't notice it. The efforts you have been putting to get along with everyone close to me. 
Abhi - I am just grateful to all these lovely people you found and they stood up with you when i wasn't there. So, obviously i want to get along with them.
