They all share a family hug as Ahana and Neil smile brightly at such a bliss moment. After sometime, Ahana and Neil start to get the kids freshened up and ready for the day. After getting the kids ready, they themselves changed into their outfit for today. Ahana was wearing  full sleeves red frock style suit while Neil wore a normal black jeans and a black sweater. The weather today was nice. It wasn't chilly that they had to wear jacket but a full sleeve clothes were needed. The temperature was low but the bright sun made it feel nice.

After getting ready and Packing a small bag with food and water and other neccessary stuff, they headed down to the lobby to have breakfast which the resort served at certain time. They met the other family members and had breakfast along with everyone before starting their journey to their destination for today.

It was supposed to be a 1hr and 30 mins drive from the resort to the mountain area where they can enjoy the view and go on different activities provided at such tourist spot.

The 1hr and 30 mins drive soon came to an end as they came at the entrance of the tourist spot. There were multiple cars parked in different lines as they one by one went and paid money for the tickets. After getting tickets for themselves, They had to drive a little up the hills for the parking spot. As they drove the scenery that could be seen from the windows of the Van mesmerised everyone.

They parked the car in the parking area and collected their bags for the day. The rest of the way up would be taken by a different route.

Shruti:"Sid you brought your camera right. click few photos of us here na. See the view is so beautiful"

Sid:"Alright. Beautiful ladies please stand together "(he said making Ahana and Angali chuckle as they stood by Shruti and Preeti while Sid clicked some pics with the mountains in the background )

After some photo sessions, everyone started to walk towards the entrance of the tourist spot. On this level, there was a big building which contained maps of the area, different activities were listed, Along with a small restaurant for food and some other neccessary things like washrooms. The Malhotras family walked towards the building from the parking lot. Everyone was walking in front of Neil, who was busy within himself on his phone.

Neil:"That's what I am trying to do but we can't plan anything big. She doesn't like it."

Sid:"why?"

Neil:"I don't know fully but when I went to Prabha maa's house, she told me that her birthday is tomorrow. But she said it's no point because Ahana doesn't even remember her birthday. She hasn't celebrated it for years. "

Sid:"so what are you gonna do"

Neil:"I have a plan. Listen"( He told His plan to Sid to which Sid grinned and nodded )

Sid:"Don't worry bhai I'll handle everything. You just execute your plan "
