The Malhotras

Everyone was waiting for Tia and Abhishek on the dining table. The room was fell into a heavy silence, the unspoken tension was hanging in the air. Everyone sat up attentively when Tia and Abhishek entered the room. They all were looking at both of them expectantly.

"Mujhe iss rishte se koi problem nahi hai." Tia spoke up.

A wave of relaxation washed over the room and everyone's faces lighted up in happiness. Sia and Abhishek glanced at each other and smiled a little.

"To phir shaadi ki taiyaariyan shuru karein?" Shreya asked in excitement.

"Neki aur puch puch." Tripti replied, "Mai to humesha se chahti thi meri Sia ki shaadi iss ghar me ho."

"Hum kal hi pandit ji se subh muhuurat nikalwate hain." Amrit said.

Everyone agreed to it.

"Congratulations bhai and hone wali bhabhi." Aditya teased making Sia blush.

Everyone cheered and happily had their dinner while talking about the arrangements. After dinner, The elders went back to their home and the youngsters were still there talking, enjoying and teasing the new couple.

Advait was on the phone call when Sia came to his side.

"I'll call you back in a while." Advait said on the call, looking at Sia and hung up the call.

Advait smiled, "Tu khush haina, baccha?" He asked.

Sia nodded her head and threw herself in Advait's arms for a tight hug, "Abhi ne mujhe khud shaadi ke liye propose kiya, bhaiya." She squealed in joy.

Advait ruffled her hair before pecking on her head, "Usne kaha ki wo mujhe pyar ke waade to nahi kar sakta par wo mujhe sab kuch dega jo mai uski patni hone ke naate deserve karti hoon." She told him happily, "Rahi baat pyar ki to mai karti hoon na usse pyar. Mera pyar kaafi hai hum dono ke liye." She was blabbering like old times and Advait was only listening to her as he had used to before.

"Ek baar humari shaadi ho gayi na bhaiya phir sab theek ho jayega." She said with positivity in her voice.

Advait was looking at her smile, the smile which he had witnessed a long time before. She was blabbering like this after a long time. He was seeing the glimpse of the little Sia after so long and it made his heart swelled but an unknown fear had clawed at his heart looking at the unspoken dreams in her eyes.

"Kya hua, bhaiya?" Sia shook him slightly, dragging him out of his thoughts.

"Tu sach me khush haina, Sia?" Advait again asked.

Sia waved it off, "Aap kyun tension le rahe hain, bhaiya. Mai sach me bohot jyada khush hoon, aakhir mere pyaar se meri shaadi hone wali hai." She said with a wide smile on her face.

The tension from Advait's body had eased out a little but his eyes was still showing concern for Abhishek and Sia. He was going against his best friend for this alliance and if anything had gone wrong he wouldn't be able to forgive himself for the condition of his little sister.

They both made their ways to the Hall where everyone was sitting and talking.

"Kya baat hai Adi, Abhi se jyada khush to tu nazar aa raha hai." Reyansh commented.

"Abhi bhai ki shaadi ke baad hi to mera number aayega." Aditya said and blushed earning himself a death glare from Reyansh.

"Aur uske baad mera." Arush chirped up with a smile.

"Itni khushi kabhi padhai karne ke liye to nahi huyi?" Advait said sternly, glaring at both of them.

"Ye bhi koi khush hone wali baat hai?" Aditya muttered under his breath and Reyansh whacked his head.
