"And I'll be gone, gone tonight

The ground beneath my feet is open wide

The way that I've been holdin' on too tight

With nothing in between"

HP asked politely: "Ji, aap logo ko kise milna hai?" to the unknown elder couple. (Yes, who do you want to meet?)



The elder man in suit who had a big gift in hand questioned in: "Titli hai?" his voice pleasant and polite but still held an undertone of authority. (Is Titli here?)




HP frowned in confusion: "Titli..? Ji yaha koi titli nahi rahta..." wondering why would a butterfly be living in this house and anybody come asking about it. (Titli..? There is no titli living here...)




The elder man asked back: "This is Raizada residence, right...Arnav Singh Raizada's house?"



HP replied politely: "Yes, this is Arnav Singh Raizada's house but there is no titli here." feeling confused as to why was this man asking about a butterfly living in this house.



Just then from behind came Arnav's voice asking: "HP, who is it?" from the living room.



HP answered looking over his shoulder towards living room: "Don't know Arnav Bhaiyya but they asking for 'Titli'..." then turned around to look back at the couple on the door.



Hearing HP, Khushi mumbles: "Hum se milne kon aaya hai..." then got and called out louder, "HP who is it?" walking towards the door with Arnav following after her as they walked towards the door.




HP stepped aside revealing the elderly couple and Khushi stop in her tracks and her face a perfect picture of three O's in shock as she stood there like statue staring at the couple, blinking in disbelieve. Seeing Khushi the elderly couple smiled at her affectionately with eyes glittering with unshed tears, the elderly man says: "Surprise!" opening his arms.
