Everyone were waiting for Sunday to come soon. Including my two besties. They started screaming like mad, crazy people as soon as I broke the news to them and made it their mission to come over and help me get ready. Whole Saturday passed by with my whole family getting the house ready and making sure that everything looks nice when they come.

Sunday did come soon and my whole house was chaotic. My badi ma was running around the house making sure everything was perfect and getting the food ready. My dad and bade papa are waiting for the guests to arrive and my brother's are waiting along with them. My sister and my two besties are getting me ready. Badi ma chose a navy blue boat neck embroidered blouse with a pastel green saree designed at the borders. It was simple and elegant just the way I like it.

I paired it with a gold necklace, jhumkas, bangles, and last but not the least waist chain. I have this thing for waist chains so I always wear one, it's like it stays on me always. I left my hair open in its natural brown waves. Mithu, Sana and Mira insisted that I wear makeup much to my reluctance but they succeeded in convincing me. Since, I don't like applying so much make up, they went light on me doing only my eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick.

As soon as I got ready, these three monkeys started whistling at me making dirty jokes.

"Damn girl you look sexy! I bet jiju will just throw you over his shoulder and have his way with you!" Sana said grabbing a pillow and enacting with it while the other two started making kissey faces.

I marched to my bed picked up a pillow and started hitting them with that.

"There is a kid in here stop talking dirty you moron! And moreover I haven't agreed to marry him yet" I said pointing at my little sister who in turn narrowed her eyes at me.

"Di who are you calling a kid? I am just a year younger than you and also I know more about all these stuff than you. In fact you are a kid, an innocent kid, I don't know how your to-be husband is gonna teach you everything after marriage?" My sis said shrugging her shoulders making me blush. Damn these idiots!

While this bickering session was going on badi ma came to the room shutting them up.

She came to me and kissed my forehead smiling widely.

"My Adi looks so beautiful! I am sure they will love you more! Now come on they are here and Adira don't hesitate to tell us whatever your decision is okay?" Badi ma said making me nervous. Oh god I am feeling so awkward!

They all took me down where my family and the Dixit family were already seated and I saw a man I haven't seen before sitting beside Arjun. I was given a tray of coffee to serve them making me more nervous. I was serving them coffee and when I reached Arjun our hands brushed while he was taking the cup and god! It felt like electricity was coursing through me. I looked up at him and I knew even he felt that! I gave coffee to the new guy beside him and sat down beside badi ma.

"Hi beta how are you?" Aunty asked me.

"I am good aunty how are you?"

"I am very happy beta now that I will get you as my daughter!" She squealed like a kid making me chuckle.

"Oh and this is Abhay our second child. You didn't get to meet him in the wedding because he was in New York for some work" Ohh so he is his brother! Now that I see, they both have resemblance. Abhay waved his hand at me and said:

"Hi! You are far more beautiful in real than in your photo! I am so glad my bhai is marrying someone like you. He will get some color in his life atleast now" I blushed at his words but soon chuckled looking at Arjun glaring at Abhay and everyone laughing around us.

The elders started talking to each other and included us in the conversation and after a while papa said: "Why don't you kids go and talk alone. I am sure you won't be comfortable doing that here. Adira beta why don't you take Arjun to our library and show him around!?" I nodded my head and got up looking at him and indicating him to follow me.

We reached the library and sat down on the sofa seated there. He was looking around and then looked at me straight in the eye. We were just sitting there looking at each other for god knows how long. I couldn't take his intense stare anymore and averted my eyes away. After a few minutes not wanting this to turn more awkward I spoke

"H-hi" I stuttered while speaking and mentally face palmed myself. What is this behaviour Adira, you are a well known psychologist you should be able to tackle this situation! After giving myself a pep talk I again spoke after clearing my throat

"Hi"

"Hello" damn he has such a smooth yet rough and deep voice! My inner self is sighing dreamily. Snap out of it! I didn't know what to speak next but I guess he picked on it and he initiated the conversation.

"You look beautiful in a saree" he said making my eyes go wide and heat creeping up my neck.

"Umm... Thank you." I said shyly looking away.

"Since we are getting into this why don't we get to know a bit about each other?" He said smiling at me. Oh my god he is sooo cute when he smiles! I know I know I turned into a teenage girl! I thought rolling my eyes at myself mentally.

"Yeah sure that is a good idea. Actually why don't we ask each other questions?" I said smiling up at him. He agreed and like that we started talking about our likes and dislikes. Apparently he likes black coffee, he loves his cars and bikes, he likes gulab jamun and chicken biriyani, he is very intelligent and totally dedicated to his work, he loves his family to no end, he hates lies and disloyal people.

Time passed by and we didn't even notice that it's been one and a half hour since we started talking. My brother came up and asked us to come down teasing us about staying with each other for such a long time.

While we are going down our hands brushed again and we looked at each other. He was smirking while I was blushing. Why am I blushing so much?!!!

As we reached down the elders looked up at us with hope waiting for our answers.

"So children what is your decision?" Rajeev uncle asked us both.

"I like her" He said not batting an eyelash. Everyone started cheering at his answer and now turned to me Arjun included.

"Beta what about you? Are you okay with this?" Papa asked me

"Yes" I said shyly looking down. An uproar broke out at my answer. Everyone started congratulating us and each other. My friend's started hugging me and introducing themselves to Arjun.

"Jiju we are your soon-to-be wife's best friends for life. I am Mithya and she is Sanaya and if you ever and I mean ever hurt her I will make sure you don't see another day" Mithya said folding her hands narrowing her eyes trying to look intimidating.

He chuckled at her and said" I wouldn't dream of it" he was looking at me while saying this and boy did that do somersaults in my heart.

"Bhabhi finally I can have someone on my team against bhai welcome to the family sis in law!" Abhay said giving a hi-fi to me making me laugh.

"Jiju don't worry I will be in your team against them" Mira said patting his shoulder and they both hi fied.

My brothers came and hugged both of us congratulating us.

Everyone decided to contact Panditji for verifying our kundli and fix dates for marriage so papa called and bought him home. After verifying our horoscopes he said that this is a very good match. All the elders were very happy listening to this and asked him to fix dates for the marriage. After deeply thinking about something he said

"There is a very auspicious day for marriage in three weeks and you can do the engagement next week. If not this date there is no other auspicious day till one year."

Three weeks!!! But that is so soon. Everyone seemed to think of this but they don't want to wait for an year. They asked for mine and Arjun's consent and Arjun was okay with it so even I agreed since I had no problem except for the fact I'll be leaving my home very early. After fixing the dates and schedules it was time for Arjun's family to go.

They were leaving and we were bidding them bye. While going Arjun turned around looking at me and he gave me a wink making me gasp in surprise. He winked at me and left. While over here I was trying hard to hide my cheeks and stop myself from smiling.
