"Good morning bhaiya" khyati wished as she entered the dining room. I knew she can't stop talking to me

"Morning"

"Good morning bhabhi" she wished naina

"Morning Khyati" she wished with a smile

"Thank you" I said when Naina served my coffee, she smiled before sitting opposite to me.

"Bhaiya.." Khyati mumbled, I hummed while sipping my coffee

"Bhaiya.... I want to ask you something.... Promise me you won't say no to it" she said, I hummed again

"Bhaiya! Look at me and stop humming, use words for god sake" she said angrily when I was eating my breakfast without paying attention to her.

"Are you bossing me khyati?" I asked while keeping my fork down

"No... I am not bossing you... I am just saying you" she replied

I am sure she is cooking something in her brain, she always does this drama when she needs something from me.

"Promise me you won't say no" she stated when I didn't speak anything

"Come straight to point Khyati, what do you want?" I remarked

"Khyati is everything alright?" Naina asked worriedly

"Yes bhabhi everything is fine" Khyati replied

"She always does this act, when she wants something" I mocked

"I am not doing any act and I don't want anything" Khyati said with a frown

"You really don't want anything?" I asked playfully, she shrugged in response

"Not even your pocket money?" I asked again, she looked at me but she immediately shrugged

"I don't want anything" she said before walking towards the living room

"She is again mad at you" naina muttered "yeah" I replied "Do something then" she said with a smile

Both of us walked to living room where khyati was sitting

"Khyati I am sorry" I said, she didn't saying anything

"Let me make it up to you" I said again

"what will you do?" She asked immediate

"whatever you want" I replied

"Let me think" she said with a mischievous smile

"Ice cream! Get me ice cream" She said with excitement to which naina and I chuckled

"Done!" I said with a smile

"And here your pocket money" I said while giving her money

"Thank you so much bhaiya!!! I love you" she jumped and hugged me

"I love you too" I said while placing a kiss on her head

I could see Naina standing there with a broad smile.

"Bhabhi why are you standing there?" Khyati said and pulled her into a group hug.

"Someone is not grumpy today"

It was karan, he said while entering my office

"How many times do I have to tell you to knock karan" I asked

"Million times maybe" he replied, I rolled my eyes at him

"You look so happy today" he said with a smirk

"It's nothing like that" I said

"But seriously there's something different today" he stated

"What do you mean?" I asked

"You are not yelling at anyone, you are not worried about meetings, you didn't fire anyone today and most importantly you are smiling woah!" He said with a smirk

"Karan I never yell and fire anyone for no reason, I am never worried about meetings and I do smile" I reasoned

"Once in a blue moon" he muttered Before I could say anything his phone rang, it was an important call so he excused himself.

I don't smile so much but today is different. Talking to Naina, seeing her smile makes me feel more alive. Naina is changing me, she is turning me into a better human, we both got married like few weeks back but it feels like I have known her since so long. In a little time, she made an everlasting impact. I wonder how rest of my life is gonna be.

She reminded me of mom, yesterday. She brought my mom's favourite flowers- daisies. When I asked mrs. Miller informed me that Naina brought them.

My mom used to love flowers and gardening. I remember when I was five, me and mom sowed a few seeds in our garden and now they grew into tall trees. Though she is not physically present, but mentally she is with me, teaching me how to take care of the growing plants.

I miss my mom. I miss my dad. I miss them.

My chain of thoughts broke when my phone rang. It was my dad (his uncle and aunt are his foster parents)

"Hi dad!" I immediately spoke after answering the call.

The love he and mom has given me never made me miss my parents. They were always there for me and Khyati

"Hi! How are you?" He asked

"I am fine, how are you and mom?"

"We are fine. How are Khyati and Naina?" He replied

"Both are fine"

"Dhruv there is a party today at Mr. and Mrs. Raichand's place, I want you and naina to attend it. Your mom doesn't want to go the party today and please don't say no" he said

"Dad you don't have to say please. I will talk to naina, you don't worry we will attend the party" I replied

"Thank you son"

"Anytime dad"

"Come home it's been long since we met you" he stated

"We will surely come even, I want to see you both" I remarked

"I will end the call now you continue with your work" he said

"Bye dad. Take care" I said before ending the call

After ending the call, I dialled Naina 's number to inform about tonight's plan

"Hello" I spoke once she lifted the call

"Hi" she spoke

"Naina do you have any plans for tonight?" I asked

"No, but why?" She replied

"There's a business party and dad wants you and me to go" I informed

"Okay" she said "but I need to buy a dress" she added after a pause

I didn't think she would accept it so easily but thank god!

"Alright complete all your works and message me, we will go for shopping" I insisted

"That's not needed I will go by myself" she said

"Naina just message me when you are done" I ordered

"Fine" she sighed

"Okay then bye" I said

"Bye" she said before ending the call
