I had to come to Delhi with him as he was coming here for a few days and his uncle and aunt wanted me to come with him.

They welcomed me into their home with open arms and warm hearts.

Mahi was giving me a round of their mansion. It was impeccable. Then we went to Mihir ji's room. Both the brothers were discussing something serious but smiled when we went in.

I am sure they must have been talking about his friends and Myra.

We all were talking when chachu and Chachi came in.

" Listen, children, Sujoy called up. They are starting something new in their hotel so we all are invited for the lunch tomorrow. " Chachu said. Mihir Ji and Manik Ji exchanged a look but I didn't understand it.

" There is some Pooja too. So the dress code is traditional ethnic wear. They seemed to have arranged a competition for the most well (traditionally) dressed person, couple and family. So I want all of you to wear something very nice. " Chachi said.

" Er... But I didn't know... About any such function...so I don't have any such traditional party wear. " I said hesitantly.

" Don't worry, Roshni, I will get it for you. You and Mahi are the almost same size, I will get something nice for you or take you to Mohit's showroom. You can select it on your own. " Chachi said.

" Oh, no!! Please don't do that... I will wear one of the suits. " I said.

" What nonsense!! No way, you are from our family now. You are coming with me. And Mahi, Mihir and Manik, I purchased new outfits for you last week, they are in your rooms. Get ready before the time, we can't be late. I don't want to miss the competition and get disqualified. My sons should look like Indian princes and my daughters should look like princesses. " Chachi said.

" Roshni, beta... You come with me. " She said.

" Chachi, Please, let it be... " I was getting embarrassed.

" It's ok, mom, I have 3 absolutely new dresses which I have never worn. She can select one of them for this party. We are almost the same size except for the height. So she can wear high heels so that there is not much problem." Mahi said.

" Ok, that is fine!! Roshni, beta go with Mahi and see which one you want. " Chachi said and I nodded.

" Chachi, I need to talk to you... " Manik Ji said to her. She nodded. But just then uncle came there looking for his wife.

" Megha!! Megha!! Here you are... Come with me, I have some urgent work. " He said and caught her hand and dragged her away.

" Manik, I will talk to you tomorrow, I guess your chachu has something more urgent to discuss. " She said while being pulled away by uncle.

" Dad and his possessiveness over mom. He always does that when he feels mom is giving us more attention. " Mihir Ji shook his head and laughed.

" Someone seems to be very happy since Chachi is going to talk to Maurvi aunty. Hmmm ?? " Manik Ji teased Mihir Ji and he grinned. Mahi and Manik Ji teased him a lot and I was happy to see them smiling.

Mahi and I, both left to go to her room.

She took out three dresses traditional dresses. One was a very light shade of pale pink, one was

beige and the other one was icy blue. All of them were very good but I could not select one of them as I didn't want to choose the one she wanted for herself. So, I asked her to choose one for me she placed all the dresses against me and saw which colour suited me the most.

" Hey, you would look pretty in all of them. Pick one, please. " She said but I shook my head.

" Ok, tell me which one are you wearing?? " I asked her.

" Oh, wait!! I will show you. " She said and took out a very light purple colour lehenga with silver work. It was stunning, elegant and sophisticated. On top of that, the colour was beautiful.

" Wow!! It is awesome... You will look very pretty in that. " I said.

" Thanks!! Now chose one for yourself. " She said.

" I don't know, anyone... which you don't mind me wearing is fine. " I replied.

" Roshni, don't say that. Tell me, which one you like. I want you to wear what you liked the best. Now we are like sisters. And sisters do share their dresses, accessories and other stuff." She said.

" You are very sweet... In fact, your whole family is awesome. They are so loving and caring... Who cares about an orphan so much? My parents were just workers who worked with Shah Jewellers. And you all treat me as your family. I am so overwhelmed. " I said and the tears started to roll down my eyes.

" Roshni!! Please don't say that..." She was saying when both the brothers came and Mihir Ji knocked at the door.

" Hey, are you both done with the selection? Please come with us to the garden. Mom is call..." Mihir Ji was saying and was shocked to see me crying.

" What happened?? " Manik Ji asked immediately. I just shook my head.

" Mahi, naughty girl, did you bully her?? " Mihir Ji asked and I smiled at that but shook my head again.

" Then why are you crying? " Manik Ji asked with concern.

" She is getting emotional, I have been asking which one you want to wear, but she is not answering please help her select now. Tell me which one of these will look better on her. " Mahi asked.

" Blue one! " Mihir Ji said.

" Pink! It will look good on her. " Manik Ji said. I tried not to react at all but my heart started beating very hard hearing that.

"You both confused her even more. It's okay we can decide later on let's go outside if mom is calling. Come Roshni, I will show you our gardens, mom landscaped them and now I am also planning to add a few things to them. " Mahi said and we all went outside.

We all had a wonderful time there in the garden. The atmosphere was very light and lively because of the light music that was playing in the background. We all had dinner at one of the outdoor settings.

" It must have been a tiring day for both of you as it was a long day plus the journey. I think you must go and rest after dinner. " Chachi said.

" Yes, Megha is right, Manik and Roshni, you must go and rest and Mihir, you come and meet me in the study, I have some work for you, which is to be done today itself. " Chachu said.

" What?? At this time?? " Mihir Ji asked.

" Yes!! "

" Why?? " Mihir Ji asked making a face.

" Chachu, please, tell me, I will do it. " Manik Ji asked.

" Oh, no!! You go and rest, you are already working a lot in Surat. Now Mihir also needs to take care of things. You go and sleep. Your Chachi and I need to go somewhere. " Chachu said. I nodded.

" Mahi, I need you to come with me, we need to go to help to Kapoor mansion. Priya aunty needs to change the interiors of the rooms for all the kids and since they are of your generation, we thought that you can give better ideas." Chachi said. Mahi nodded and went with her.

So it was just manik Ji and me who were left in the garden. It seemed that Manik Ji was also reluctant to go to his room for the time being.

" I really loved these garden settings, I want to stay here for a bit longer... can we take a walk in the garden?? " I asked and he agreed immediately.

" Come, I will show you some more areas which are also very nice. " He said and I nodded.

We both went to the other parts of the garden. I loved this side a lot as it had an artificial pool and a small bridge over it. It was so cute and romantic that I rushed to it. It was very nice.

I clicked lots of pictures there. I clicked some pictures of him as well. He was in a strange mood today and didn't stop me from doing anything. I asked him if I could sit there for some time, he nodded and I sat down on a big flat rock which must have been added there for people sitting there to enjoy.

An assorted mix of beautiful flowers was adding to the beauty of the spot. And their fragrance was very light yet pleasant. I was lost in that little paradise.

Manik Ji was here with me on a full moon night, it was like a dream, but even if it was a dream, I didn't want it to end even if that meant that I never woke up from this beautiful dream.

Just then Manik Ji's phone started buzzing. I got jealous all of a sudden that it might be Myra but I felt better when I realised it was one of his friends and he smiled the moment he looked at the screen. He excused himself and went to one side to talk a bit privately.

The wind was blowing and the whole romantic environment made me go crazy. I started humming a romantic song unconsciously. I saw that Manik Ji looked at me with a smile.

He smiled?? At me??

My phone also started buzzing and I saw that Hardik was calling me. He had never called up so late till now.
