Vishnu’s reply followed. He had just finished a party meeting at the NEP headquarters and was on his way back to the Walia Mansion.

Vishnu: Actually, I think it’s a good idea. My dad could use a break too. He’s too exhausted by work these days.

There was a pause before another message appeared.

Vishnu: And I don’t see anything major scheduled for him over the next month. If we plan it properly, I’m sure we can make all of them stay together for a few days.

Trisha finally entered the chat.

Trisha: Fine. But where?

For a few seconds, there was silence. Then Siya replied. She wasn’t with Raghav at the moment, but back at the villa.

Siya: How about RK Estate, guys?

Raghav knew she would say that. Suddenly, Meher, Krish, Ayaan and Vishnu all started typing at once. Vishnu’s reply hit first.

Vishnu: Yes. That’s actually perfect.

Another message followed, this time from Ayaan.

Ayaan: If all the elders and the kids stay at RK Estate, then nobody has to handle the children alone. The grandparents can help each other, the kids can all stay together, and we know they’re safe in one place.

Siya: Not to mention, even Haider and Esha will be there to help them out.

Trisha: RK Estate sounds the best option as of now.

Krish’s reply was next.

Krish: It is. And honestly, even Rukmini Aunty won’t mind having the kids there. Not when Pratap Uncle is going to be around too.

A string of laughing emojis appeared on the screen. Raghav stared at it for a moment before typing a single response. He was still not very used to all the hype surrounding his mother-in-law and Pratap Walia’s friendship.

Raghav: (smirking emoji)

Seeing his reply, Siya was the next to type.

Siya: You can do better than a single emoji reply, RK.

Meher: @Siya You are the only one who can enjoy his live expressions at the moment.

Siya: Sadly, no. I’m at the villa, making Rudra and Riya do their homework. And RK is at his office cabin, I suppose. Right, RK?

Raghav: (thumbs up emoji)

Siya: @Raghav Missing you already (heart emoji)

Raghav: ❤️

Siya: That’s it? Only one heart?

Raghav: ❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍

Siya: Much better. ❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍

Raghav’s mouth twitched. Before he could respond, Krish interrupted them.

Krish: Guys, if your emoji romance is done, can we please come back to the actual topic? (eye rolling)
