A few days later:

Rikara and their children were in the living room. Aliya and mishti doing each other's hair and then munni and Pari was watching tv. Om was on his phone as usual and then Gauri was making her son sleep.

Just then the doorbell rang. Gauri was about to stand up when Om stopped her.
Om: you stay here. I'll answer it.
Gauri: but...
Om keeps his finger on her mouth and then he goes up from the sofa and answers the door.

He opened the door only to find the entire Oberoi gang outside.
Om: hi guys.... when did you guys came?
Anika: just now, we know that we didn't tell you that we were coming.
Somu: it was a surprise.

Aliya and mishti came and were a little shock as they have always been used to it just being rikara and then them all together. They are not used to the other Oberois.
Jhanvi: hey Alu and misty.
Aliya-mishti: hi Dadi.
Shivay: so where is he?
Om: who?
Rudy: arre you dumbo, your son.
Om: oh yes, come in.

They go in the house and Om closes the door. As soon as munni saw them, she shut the tv and signed Pari.
Munni-Pari: hi.
All other Oberoi kids: hey.

Aniya sits either side next to Gauri and sees the new baby.
Anika: OMG, he is soooo cute.
Somu: a complete replica of bade wala bhaiya.
Anika: bilkul well apart from the cheeks.
Somu: exactly they are chubby like Gauri.

She pulls Gauri's cheeks lightly and Gauri smiled and said: who would like to hold him?
Anika: I will then somu.

Gauri nods and carefully places her son in anika's arms. Anika gently supports the baby's neck and smiles seeing him.
Shivay: he is too quiet, don't you think?
Rudy: of course he is, shivay bhaiya. Just like o, he is quiet.
Gauri: arre Rudy bhaiya, omkaraji is never quiet. He talks too much. Right girls?
Mishti: hate to admit this but Mama is right.
Om: mishti, I got a list of promises you haven't kept, do you want me to make you do one of those promises?
Mishti: no Papa.
Om: good.

Anika passed the baby to somu.
Rudy: arre we too want to hold the baby
Shivay: exactly.
Anika: arre you two, wait your turn.
Shivru: fine.
Somu: so when is the naamkaran?
Rikara: tomorrow.
Pinky: whats name you choose?
Rikara: find out tomorrow.
Gauri: also this time omkaraji letted me choose the name.
Om: that was not the deal.
Gauri: yes it was.
Om: stop twisting the story. We never agreed that you would choose the name.
Gauri: yes we did.
Om: no we didn't.

Gauri gets off the sofa, goes towards him and politely pulls his hair.
Om: ouch! Gauri, you still haven't grown out of that habit?
Gauri: just because I haven't done it in three years, that doesn't mean that I have grown out of it.
Anika: arre Om, it's Gauri. She has various habits which she will never grow out off, for example pulling your hair, throwing candy.
Somu: her way eating gol gappa.
Gauri: bass bass, is this to tease me?
Anika: no, Om started it.
Gauri: anyway mr Oberoi, what about your habits? Reading late at night when I am trying to sleep? Your shayari habit? Your 'no' habit?

Om was about to speak when:
Pari: no more speak. You both kids.
Rudy: she said correctly. O, still acting like a kid? Very bad.
Om: shut up Rudra. What about you? You never stop acting like a kid.
Somu: arre all be quiet. Gosh there is a baby in the house and you guys are behaving like kids.

All became quiet and soon the baby started to cry.
Om: silence then crying.
Gauri: be quiet. Bade bhaiya, pass him to me.

Shivay passes the baby to Gauri and Gauri quickly makes the baby quiet.
