"Sir today there's a meeting with Mr.Oberoi at 5 later another meeting with the London delegates and sir your coffee is placed on the table." My PA read my schedule for the day

"Where are the documents that I asked for yesterday?" I asked as I took a sip of my coffee

"Sir I have informed mrs. Patel she said she will be send it to in some time" he replied

"And what about yesterday's presentation?" I asked and took another sip of my coffee

"Sir I have already mailed it to" he replied

"Okay, You may leave now" I ordered

I was checking my mail when a person entered my office without knocking. It was my best friend Karan

"Karan, don't you have manners to knock before entering" I snapped

"Well, Mr. Singhania I don't need to knock before entering my own best friend's office and let me remind you we equally own this company" he replied and sat on the chairs that were placed in front of me

"I have lots of work today, Karan" I informed him

"There is no day when you are free, Dhruv and I too got so much work I just came to see you and give this documents that you asked Mrs. Patel to bring" he said passing the documents

"From when you started bringing me the documents" I taunted

"She came to my office for some signatures and she forgot this document there. I was already coming to see so, why not reduce her work" he narrated the whole story

"That's so sweet of you karan" I said with a small smile

"I will leave now. Continue with your work, see you later" he said as he walked out of my office

I got engaged in my work as I was going through some documents and suddenly my phone rang. It was my dad.

My aunt and uncle are my foster parents and I like calling them mom and dad. After my parents death my aunt and uncle took care of us like their own children. I picked up the call immediately

"Good morning dad " I said with a smile

"Good morning son" he replied

"Is everything alright?" I asked worriedly as I sat straight on my chair

"Yeah everything is alright, should I only call when everything is not alright" he answered

"No dad it's nothing like that u can always call me. You know that I only a call away" I stated

"I know dear, well today I want you to come home for dinner your mom and I have something to talk to you" he informed

They live in our family house whereas me and my sister live in another house that I bought for us.

"Of Course dad I would surely come" I replied

"And bring your sister with you, your mom wants to see her" he said

"Sure dad, she would love to visit you" I replied

"See you in the night son, take care"saying that he hung the call

" In my office now" I ordered my PA on the phone

"Yes sir" he said and came to my office in no time

"Cancel all my meetings for today" I informed him

"But sir, the meetings with mr.Oberoi and the London delegates is important" he said

"Just do what I say, Karthik" I said with a High tone

"Sorry sir" he apologized

"Bhaiya is going to marry!!" Khyati, my sister screamed with excitement

"Khyati my ears are hurting, stop screaming and no one is getting married" I snapped

"Son please she is a very good girl, she is a doctor in a health care hospital. She is beautiful and smart too" my mom said

"Yes, she is the best girl we can ever find for you. Her dad and I are childhood friends. We know each other's family very well" my dad added

They haven't met her yet and they are saying it is the best choice for me, great! Just great! What if she might be a gold digger like others?

"Please marry her for our sake. We only want to see you happy in your life. Naina is a suitable girl for you" she gave a pause and spoke again "If you dad and mom would have been alive they would also want this for you. Please son marry her" she said as tears brimmed in her eyes

"Mom you know I can't see u cry" I said wiping her tears and hugged her

After my mother's death she took care of me and khyati like a second mother. I never felt the absence of my mother. Her embrace always took away all my sorrows and my uncle always supported me in every decision.

If this makes them happy and this is what they wanted, I am ready to get married.

"I will marry her" I stated

Both uncle and aunt were so happy that they me a bear hug

"I can't believe my bhaiya is going to get married!" Khyati started to scream again

"I can now finally call someone bhabhi ahh I can't wait" she hugged as she continued to scream

"I have a condition" I stated when everyone took their seats back

"What is it?" My dad asked

"I want the wedding to be a very simple one with a few family members only and no involvement of media" I stated my condition

"We are perfectly fine with that and even naina's family will be okay with that" my uncle said

I only accepted this proposal for my uncle and aunt. I never even thought about settling down and marrying a stranger whose name is Naina Sharma.
