They drove back to mansion where preparations are going on from vijay ji to palak everybody is enthusiastically involved in fulfilling responsibility where as kareena ji is seen dictating servants, rolling eyes, cleared throat, grabbing their occupied attention "chote kabse intezaar horaha tha tum dono ka hum pareshaan hogaye yeh soch kar kahin tu maana na karde" laughs, asking her to come inside, doesn't know why, shehnaaz had been standing outside.

"Biwi wahan kya kar rahe ho andar ao na ?" looking back, gestures her to get inside when did she stop over there he didn't even realise.

"Bhaiya, kya main entrance mein rangoli bana doon ?" she nervously, asked.

Vijay ji is going to permit when sadly kareena ji rudely interrupts "no need we have artists to do art work" breaking her heart, she genuinely felt like doing it watching pretty orbs sparkling in happiness suddenly getting replaced by tint of sadness, disappointment, irked him.

"If you really wanna make then surely give it a try beta, I would love to see my lovely daughter's artistic skills" permits shehnaaz, by going against kareena ji since his son's their wives requests are equally important and fulfilling is their responsibility due to which shehnaaz beams in happiness, sidharth blinks his eyelashes and genuinely smiled at his beloved father ❤️

"No wayyy, aapka deemag kharab hai .. har saal ki tarha is saal bhi mehmaan dusre countries se arahe hain just to celebrate holi with us .. hum kya 2 rupee ki artistic skills dikhayenge ?" exasperating sidharth and hurting shehnaaz.

"Take your words back, your insulting my wife !" losing patience to deal with kareena ji her status and different class issues.

"Relax sidharth, upar jao shehnaaz ko lekar akshay aur kavya holi discussion wahin saath baithke kar laina, I trust you people and your choices, kareena u better stay here and help me sending invites" she couldn't refuse when vijay, passed death glares, being helpless, agreed.

They reach upstairs shutting door kavya asks "theek hona ?" plasters, every day smile to show everything is okay none of her taunts cause any affect on her mood "adat horahe hai .. sunn kar laine ke" chuckles, astonishing them.

"Your crazy, jawaab daina tha na babe" he says, she doesn't wanna reply so simply gestures kavya and akshay to start or else they will end up arguing it didn't settle well by sidharth, did she just ignore him ?

"Okay, like every year we have arranged organic colours and sweets from a classy restaurant .. just what mom prefers .. soothing music and fresh food" listening to their boring arrangements her jaw dropped, eyes widened, are they really going to celebrate holi similar to their everyday parties ?

Who orders organic colours or sweets from classy restaurants ?

Who plays soothing music ?

Fuck, their rich high class boring parties .. for heaven sake .. it's a beautiful occasion of colours being celebrated by indian's across globe "shehnaaz ?" heard kavya's voice, snapping her, back to harsh reality "kahan kho gaye ?"

"Main batata hoon shehnaaz ko yakeen nahin araha ke holi party itne boring hosakte hai, kyun, sahi kaha na biwi ?" smirks, reading facial expressions.

"G aap bilkul sahi keh rahe hain bhabi ... bhaiya yeh kaise holi huwe jis mein organic colours se lekar soothing music ki arrangement horahe hai ?" pouts, sadly going through list prepared by her mother in law "India mein aise holi celebration ka kabhi suna hai ... jab tak saalo purane kapde na pehne jaaye rango ki pichkariyaun se na khaila jaye .. full paani wale baaltiyaun mein na nahaya jaaye paani wale gubaare ek dusre ke upar na maare jayein toh holi kaise .. bhaang na sahi .. dusre cheesain jaise loud music .. dhol aur ghevar .. wale stalls na ho batao holi kaise ?" questions, looking at akshay.
