After finishing our lunch elders want to discuss marriage dates so we all went and sat in my room where I was sitting in between my two brothers on the bed at one corner and Aadiv and Eshana were in another corner of my bed.

"Aru is your packing done or you need any help," asked Eshana and as soon as I heard those words, I looked at Aadiv who was sitting beside Eshana and looking at me only


"Yes Eshu, it's done" I spoke and rested my head on Bhai shoulder, how can my jealous rishi be ok with it, he took my hands in his hands and entwined them.

We kept talking for some time and all the while Aadiv always was looking at me as if he wants to tell me something and I think he wants to share something with me and waiting for the chance.

"Ok now I will leave I am getting sleep," said rishi getting up from the bed, and even Bhai too followed him as I know that they both were tired as they were running here and there today.


"Bhai and rishi keep oil on your head and sleep so that some headache will reduce" I spoke to them before they leave the room and they smiled at me while rishi winked at me making me smile and they both left the room.

We three were sitting in complete silence then Eshana came near me and hugged me


"I am so happy Aru thanks for accepting this marriage and I hope you are also happy with it" she spoke and even asked me a question and before I could answer Eshana got a call and she excused herself and went out.

"Where are you lost???" My thoughts came to a halt by his voice and his voice always provides peace to me as fab 5 music gives me

"Nowhere" I just gave him a one-word reply and we sat in silence again

"I know this was going very fast and it is not easy for you to trust me in just one meeting so I think we should start from starting so let's start from being friends," he said and forwarded his hand and I am shocked completely on my place.

He understood me so easily and giving me a chance. when he is giving his chance so why not me. He wants to be friends and I am ok with it and before I could give my hand to him, he spoke

"It's ok I understand" saying this he started to take his hand back and before he takes it completely I held his hand and it was our first touch and a shiver ran through my spine

"Even I think the same we should give ourselves a chance" I spoke and looked at him in his eyes and he had a cute smile on his face

"Ok then so let's get to know each other, let's play 20 questions," he asked me and still our hands are not leaving each other

"Yeah that's better," I said and took a pillow from the side and kept it on my lap. He smiled again may be seeing my excitement

"So, first question favorite color," he asked me, and I smiled at him because he is always taking a step in this relation.

"Blue, yours," I asked him he said "red" and then it was the time for my question

"Favorite music," I asked

"A.R. Rehman" was his answer

"Fab 5" is my answer and as soon as I said fab 5. He smiled broadly and I was confused

"Who is favorite in fab 5??" Came his question but as we dint know any person name in fab 5, I was confused to answer but I can say I love the lead singer voice

"I don't know the name because they never reveal their names, but I love the lead singer voice," I said to him and his smile increased as if he is that lead singer. We continued our game and at the end of the game, I came to know many things about him his likes, dislikes, and even about his personal life.

I don't know when we slept by the end of the game.

My sleep was disturbed when I felt a pair of lips on my forehead and opened my eyelids slowly. I saw it was Bhai

"Slept well my princess," asked my Bhai and I made an annoying pout

"I am sleeping well but you disturbed me Bhai," I said to him and he kissed my forehead again

"Sorry princess but I had to wake up because mom wants you to finalize the dates of our wedding" Bhai spoke and as soon as I heard those I remembered that Aadiv is also sleeping with me and I broke the hug with Bhai in a jerk and searched for him but he was not there

"Don't worry just now Aadiv went down" said Bhai and I took a deep breath​ and went to fresh while Bhai went down, and I also went down later.

"So as Aria too came now both of you listen we had decided to do the engagement two days after Aria returning and the wedding is your choice we have two timings one is after 2 weeks of engagement and other is after 6 months after engagement so you both decide what you want," said my mother and I looked at Aadiv and found he was also thinking something and I decide to say ok to the time after 6 months because at least I will have some time to spend with my brothers and parents.

I know I am being selfish, but every girl doesn't want to leave her parents and family and go to a new house, but it should happen one day so should I say ok with the time early. Even I must think about his feelings right.

"I want to talk with Aria to decide about the timing" my thoughts were broken by the voice of Aadiv and I looked at him and he nodded me to come. I looked at rishi and Bhai who nodded and then I saw my father and he too nodded, so I stood and moved to the garden and he followed me

"Ok Aria I think we should say ok to the timing after 6 months" he spoke, and I was shocked to the core because here I was being selfish but he thought about me and he always impresses me with his thoughts

"I know even I am thinking it but I am happy with the one after two weeks after engagement" I spoke and found his face lit up immediately but he controlled himself and was about to argue with me but before he starts I spoke again

"I know I should leave my parents one day and come with you so why not do it early because the more time I will be with them the more I suffer later because I love them a lot so I will be happy if I go fast and try to make a new life fast" I spoke and saw him smiling and he took my hand In his hands

"I know Aria you are leaving us everything and coming for me but trust me I will give my 100% to this relation" he spoke and this is the first time he called me Aria and I felt my name superb from his mouth and I smiled at him and we both stood up mutually and went out. Still, our hands are entwined.

"We decide to the timing which is after two weeks after engagement" he announced, and all came and hugged us one after and congratulated us but still our hands are entwined.

"I think you can leave your hands" Eshana spoke out from nowhere and we both left each other hands immediately looking at everything but not at each other. I know my face will give a competition to tomato now.

"Finally, still two months then I will be free from this idiot torture" spoke rishi and I so wanted to punch him on the spot but stopped myself because he removed the awkwardness. So, I gave a glare to him and he showed me his tongue, but he ran and hugged me

"I will miss you Aru" he spoke still in the hug making my eyes watery and Bhai came and hugged us both and we three had a smile in our lips.

Later after some time with talking eating all the Malhotra said goodbye and went and promised me that they will come tomorrow at the time of my journey to Andhra Pradesh. Aadiv before going looked at me with a smile on his face.
