Shivaay conspired with Dadi next morning on how to present Annika with his gift.
"Dadi, please, think of something nice so that Annika doesn't know what is waiting for her, and is taken completely by surprise" said Shivaay, for the fifth time.
"Yes, Billu, I got it, I have thought of something, now will you go to office on your own or I will have to ask Khanna to physically take you away from here?" asked Dadi.
Shivaay actually winked at his grandmother, and left for work, while Dadi wondered whether her idea was good enough, or she'll have to think of something else.
In the evening, Dadi asked everyone to assemble in the hall.
"I thought since Soumya is leaving for the States this weekend, let us all have some fun together before she leaves" suggested Dadi.
Everyone agreed.
"So, I thought, we can all divide into partners and play this game. I have the chits here. Prinku has gone to her friends' place for some college work, hmm thats sad. Now where are Tej, Jahnvi and Gauri? Never mind, you people start first" said Dadi, encouragingly.
"Not you Rudra, you and Soumya go last, since you are the youngest" scolded Dadi, as she saw Rudra getting up to pick the chits.
Shivaay and Om laughed at their brother, while Soumya rolled her eyes.
Since Tej and Jahnvi were not there, Shakti and Pinky went first.
Shakti had to bring a flower that resembled Pinky. A few minutes later, he came back with a cauliflower. Everyone tried to hard to control their giggle, while Pinky looked extremely offended, but he kept that cauliflower aside to actually reveal two azaleas he had brought for her. Pinky blushed at the actually sweet gesture by her husband, who usually seemed indifferent to her.
"Now its my turn" said Shivaay excited.
"Yes, yes, bhaiyaa, we know that you worked out this whole thing with Dadi" snorted Rudra, while Om gave his snarky smile.
"You both know? Dadi?" Shivaay looked at his grandmother, but she claimed she wasn't guilty.
"C'mon Shivaay, Dadi didn't rat you out, we are your brothers, we know how Billuji's mind works" said Omkara, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Shivaay scowled, but cheered up immediately.
Gauri entered the mansion at the moment, returning from work.
"Ah, Gauri bhaabhi, you've come at the right time, we are playing a game" said Rudra, and told Gauri all that had taken place till now.
"Yes, Gauri you've come at the right time. I've got a brilliant present for your Jiji" said Shivaay.
"Par Bade bhaiyaa pehle chit toh uthaalo" (But Bade bhaiyaa, first pick up a chit no?) asked Gauri innocently, while Om and Rudra sniggered at Shivaay.
"Arey, Chutki, this Bade bhaiyaa of yours is a chantomai (sly fox). He planned out the entire thing with Dadi to surprise me, didn't you Billuji?" said Annika, with a knowing look.
Shivaay accepted the charge, with a guilty smile.
"But we are still playing the game okay?" said Shivaay, while everyone else laughed.
"What have you got Billuji?" asked Annika eagerly.
"This" said Shivaay, handing Annika a scroll of paper, rolled up and tied in a red ribbon.
