To celebrate 24k milestone, I thought of posting the chapter a few hours earlier. So here's it!
Enjoy!!

The next morning, Yohan comes to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. He spots Tia with Priya at a big 8-seater table.
"Good morning!" He approached them.
He was tempted to sit beside Tia but sat two seats away.
"Good morning."
"Hi. Aap kab ayi?" Yohan enquiries as he orders his breakfast.
"Kal Arjun ke saath main aur Praneet bhi aagaye. Socha short vacation hojayega," Priya replies happily.
"Ow. Achchha, achchha. Gayatri nehi ayi? Use bhi le aate," he tried his best to suppress the sarcasm with politeness.
"Vo bhi ane wali thi! Lekin tumlogo ke tarha usska bhi kuch project work chal raha hain. Iss liye nehi aapayi," unable to catch the sarcasm in his tone, Priya answers innocently.
Yohan nods as if he is also sad with Gayatri's absence.
"Good morning, good morning, pretty ladies! Good morning, jaan!" Praneet arrived in his usual cheerful self and gives Priya a cosy hug.
Tia admires them and looks around for Arjun.
"Haan, baba, hum Mumma ke paas jaa rahe hain," Arjun approaches them as he tries to pacify. "Rani-sa, ye lijiye. Ab ye aapki zimmedari," he hands Tej to Tia.
"With pleasure!" Tia makes Tej sit on her lap and places a kiss on his soft cheeks. "Tej ne Mumma ko miss kia? Mumma ne Tej ko bohoooooot miss kia!"
"Aapko ekbar dekh lete hain to hume ekdum bhul hi jaate hain," Arjun accuses her.
"Because he's a Mumma's boy! Mera baby Mumma's boy hain na, hain na?Papa ab breakfast karenge aur Tej ab Mumma ke saath baethega, yay!" Tia kisses Tej on the forehead.
Yohan rolls his eyes at them but looking at his food.
"Chal, Arjun, order karte hain," Praneet says.
"Priya, chalo hum kamre mein chalte hain. Mujhe apna bag arrange karna hain," Tia informs.
"Haan, chal. Tumlog khalo, we'll be right back," Priya agrees.
"Thik hain. Bye, Tej," Arjun waves at Tej with a flying kiss.
"Yohan, main apna bag leke aati hu. Phir hum nikalte hain. Okay?" Tia says to which he just nods.
After Tia and Priya left, Yohan interrupted Arjun and Praneet's conversation with a scornful laughter.
"Mujhe suddenly ek baat yaad aagayi," Yohan starts without looking at them.
Arjun and Praneet looks at him as he continues.
While eating his meal, he says, "Saalon pehle ladkiyon ki bohot hi cum umaar mein shaadi hojati thi. Jiss wajah se volog chahte huye bhi apni education puri nehi karpati thi. Kyun ki unnke upar bachche aur parivaar ki responsibilities thoop dia jata tha. Yaha tak ki volog to apna khana bhi araam se nehi khaa pati thi! Kyun ki unnke patiyon ke according, bachche sambhalna to sirf auraton ka kaam hota hain. Hain na?"
