After three days

Saanvika’s pov

“Niyu, come on ,have your lunch. Saanvika, you also have lunch. Then both of you  take a rest .” Aunty, which means Niyati's mother, came to Niyati's room with our lunch . I immediately got up and helped her to place those plates.

“Aunty, why did you bring it here? You should have called me.” I said to her and Niyati made her sit down beside her on the bed.

“No no, I can't sit now. Your Dadu and Dadi are here and I need to give them lunch as well.” Aunty said while leaving the room and warned us to finish everything which was on the plate .

Niyati's grandparents Mr. Tejraaj Sehgal and Mrs. Ira Sehgal have come along with her badepapa Mr. Himanshu Sehgal and badima Mrs. Shefali Sehgal. Their children Sanjay bhai (29) and Meeta (18) who are Niyati's cousins have also come.

Bade Papa and Badima are nice human beings, in fact Niyati's cousins are cool as well. I have gotten free with them very easily. Dadu is a bit strict but he is nice. But the problem is her dadi.
I have known them since four years. But every time I have seen her Dadi, she neglects Niyati and Sadhika Aunty. I don't know the reason but She does it. She either criticises them, taunts them or ignores them as they don't exist.
Just like this morning when they came and congratulated Niyati for her engagement, Dadi's first words for Niyati were, “You also learnt how to trap a rich guy. After all, it's all in blood.”
I really don't know what she meant by it .

But I was very angry with her because she tried to destroy Niyati's special Day – her engagement day. Luckily I diverted her mind so that she didn't get upset.

“You know I met Sathvik three days back.” I said to her while keeping my excitement under control.

No she doesn't know about my one sided (for now) love for Sathvik. I will tell her when I have a perfect opportunity.

“ Really? Where? Maybe you saw him flirting with some girl?” Niyati chuckled.

I frowned and said  , “Oh please. He was buying some stuff in general with zero girls beside him .”

“Aare wah!! That's a miracle.” Niyati said sarcastically.

Niyati seriously doesn't like this guy. I just shook my head.

“Umm.. Aunty makes this dish so good.” I said as I ate Amritsari Chole Kulche.

“Yes, I have told Mom to teach me also. Avyaan likes it.” She said with a smile. But soon her smile faded away.

“What happened ?” I asked her.
I am sure that asshole has something to do with her expression.

As I said ,the universe doesn't want Niyati to smile fully today. Because the big reason for her upset mind was the groom itself. That MCP!!

“Why didn't you just punch him in the face?” I said to her after she finished telling me what happened three days ago when she went shopping with Avyaan.

“ He was angry, which was justified as well. Who will tolerate it if someone else looks at his better half like this?” Niyati Said defending him.

“So did he apologise for speaking rudely to you ?” I asked her.

“No.. he did not call me. Come on yaar, he was busy. Not only one but two engagements are going to take place today. And also he was a bit stressed due to his business, Definitely he was busy . It's okay. I understand. I didn't mind anything. We will have plenty of time to go on a date .” She said to me while eating her lunch.

Naive Niyati —- I don't call her by this name just for fun, I absolutely mean it. She is actually  very naive when it is all about  knowing people.

Yes Avyaan is a good guy but to be very honest he is very controlling, has a backward mentality and is ill tempered kind of. But According to Niyati , Avyaan is a great guy with zero flaws in him. But every human being has flaws in them. But who will make her understand?

It's truly said that Love seriously makes one blind. Niyati is a perfect example of it.

Author's Pov

Malabar Hill, Mumbai

Today is the engagement of Avyaan Malhotra and Akshaat Malhotra. So from the early morning itself everyone is busy doing something or other. The Malhotra family has already reached one of their hotels where the party is going to take place.

The relatives of the Malhotra family are already here. The head of the Family, Dhananjay’s sister-in-law (wife of his elder Brother) Prapti has arrived along with daughter Anusree and son in law Rajesh Batra from Pathankot .

Kritika and Kavita , the mothers of Avyaan and Akshaat respectively, are the sisters. Their mother Mrs. Bedi arrived along with their brother Arvind, his wife Rani and daughter Alka (21).

Currently the hotel was looking like a bride as it is decked up with all the lights and flowers. The guests have already started to come. The engagement was going to happen on the big open garden or lawn behind the big hotel.

“Did you call Parthiv Bhaisaab? Have they started yet? And what about Mr. Bose?” Kritika asked her husband Anish .

“Yes, my dear wife. Parthiv has started and they will be here after a few minutes only. And About Mr. Bose, they have arrived. They are inside with Dheeraj bhai and bhabhi.” Anish replied.

“Let's go and meet them then. It doesn't look good if we don't go.” Kavita said and called her brother, “Arvind, please greet the guests along with Sathvik. We are just coming.”

“Don't worry  ,Di. You go and do your work . We will handle here.” Arvind assured her.

Anish and Kritika entered where the Bose family was sitting.

“ Here is our beautiful Ekansha. How are you?” Kritika greeted as soon as she spotted the bride of Akshaat.

Ekansha greeted her and Anish by touching their feet and said, “ I am fine.”

Ekansha is a doctor by profession, she is a Neurologist. She is originally from Kolkata but due to her profession She is staying in Mumbai whereas Her parents Mr & Mrs Bose stay in Kolkata . Mr Bose is a professor and Mrs Bose is a homemaker.

It is a Love match between Akshaat and Ekansha. They both fell in love when they were in college. When they decided to get married after achieving some of their desired goals in professional life nobody had any problem except Vaidehi Malhotra ,Akshaat’s grandmother. Her reasons were one, Ekansha was a Bengali and two, they were not economically / financially equal to the Malhotra Family.
But finally she had to agree due to Akshaat’s constant request and also when she met Ekansha, her calm and composed nature made her agree to this alliance.

“Okay, okay, Everything can happen later. Now it's their entry time.” Prisha said ,entering the room. She looked pretty in a lavender sequined saree .

Prisha's look

“Did Niyati arrive?” Kritika asked her.

“Yes, they are here. I have made them sit in the engagement area . I have made my brothers sit on the stage also.Now You people also leave. Only brides will be here.” Prisha Said.

“Yes, the Drama queen has ordered. Let's leave the room.” Sathvik said entering the room.

“Bhai ,what are you doing here? I told you to go to the DJ.” Prisha said while panicking.

“Don't worry, Saanvika said That she would look after it along with Alka.” Sathvik said.

“Beautiful ladies,Please take a seat. You will be called within Some time.” Saying this, Prisha made Niyati and Ekansha sit on the couch And left along with Sathvik.

Niyati and Ekansha were talking to each other .  They had met before a couple of times and were in touch with each other through WhatsApp and Instagram.

“Don't worry . Everything will be alright.” Seeing Niyati Zoning out a bit, Ekansha assured her as nobody can understand her current inner turmoil other than Ekansha.
Niyati smiled and said, “Same to you. I can see you are a bit nervous.”
“TRUE AF.” Ekansha emphasised the words dramatically, making both of them laugh.

“Bhabhis it's time.” Prisha said ,entering inside along with Alka. “First Niyati bhabhi will go and then Ekansha Bhabhi .” The brides nodded their Heads.
.

“All the best.” Saanvika whispered to Sathvik who looked at her in confusion.

“You are going to announce, right? That's why.” Saanvika explained with a hint of teasing in his voice.

“Oh please, it is a bachcho khel for me. Just wait and watch.” Sathvik said with a wink.

“By the way , you are looking handsome.” Saanvika said. Sathvik looked dashing in black suit and Pants.

“Thank you. I needed to match my brothers.” Sathvik said with a smile. Avyaan looked picture perfect in a greyish blue suit and Akshaat looked like a model in a blue suit.

“Again he did not say whether I am looking nice or not.” Saanvika pouted with a sad expression but immediately controlled herself when Saathvik looked back at her .

Saanvika looked elegant in a green and pink sequin saree.

“Saanvika,”  Sathvik called her.

“Hai Kitna pyaara lagta mere naam inke muh se (how lovely my name sounds from his mouth.” Saanvika thought internally.

“Yes ,” she replied aloud with Hope in her eyes that he would definitely compliment her .

“Let's start then.” Sathvik said.

The smile and blush which were slowly forming in her face died down and a fake smile took its Place .
“Sure,” she replied.

“Kuch nahi ho sakta Iska. (Nothing can happen to him.)” She thought internally.

“Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen . Thank you all for coming and joining us in this joyous occasion of my beloved brothers’ engagement.” Sathvik announced with the microphone. “Now it's time for The brides.”

“Please welcome Niyati Sehgal, our very own Avyaan Malhotra's fiancé.” As soon as Saanvika announced , soft music played and the spotlight was thrown on Niyati who started to enter inside in a careful and elegant way.

In the soft peachy pink ,shimmering lehenga , Niyati looked like a princess and shone brightly under the light due to her glowing face and beautiful diamond set which she wore for this special occasion. Avyaan looked at his bride with pride as he saw the appreciation on the guests’ faces. Niyati came near the stage and Avyaan forwarded his hand for her. She took it and got up on the stage. They both exchanged a smile with each other.

“Now please welcome Ekansha Bose, the fiancé of our very own Akshaat Malhotra .” Saanvika announced.

Soon Ekansha entered the hall with beats of music and spot like. She looked like a million bucks in her beautiful peach lehenga. With the perfect jewellery and innocence and beauty on her face, she took away the breath of Akshaat who was looking at his bride in awe.

“Muh toh bandh karle bhai. (Close your mouth brother
.)” Sathvik said to Akshaat loudly which made the guests burst into fits of giggles along with family and Ekansha. Akshaat rubbed his neck in embarrassment.
Soon he helped Ekansha to get up on the stage.

Soon the engagement ceremony started. The couples exchanged their rings.

Niyati smiled in happiness as soon as the engagement was done which made Avyaan smile in return.

“Finally you are mine.” Akshaat murmured near Ekansha's ear .
“Permanently.” Ekansha said with a Wide smile.

The guests Clapped their hands and showered them with the petals of rose .

Saanvika looked at Sathvik who was smiling widely looking at the happy faces of his brothers.

“Maybe someday we will be together just like these Two beautiful couples.” She thought to herself with a soft smile on her lips.

It was decided that the wedding Of Avyaan and Niyati would happen after a month. After four months of their wedding Akshaat and Ekansha would get married.

The beautiful night ended with lots of celebration and the young hearts which were bubbling with love and Hope for the near future only prayed To God so that their Dreams would be fulfilled.

Here you go.
