Raghav's POV:

(Again getting up early in the morning scratching his head...this has been Raghav's routine since his darling brother's wedding preps began...he literally didn't get time to scratch his own ass🤣)

We are busy prepping for Aditi Naman's wedding...

From booking the wedding hall to organizing the stay for our guests was really a thing.

Because my dearest brother and his would be wife wanted a destination wedding 🙄 and they came out with this fabulous idea just yesterday when there is 10 days left to the wedding....
Cards are distributed...
Luckily we didn't have to bother about undergoing loss for catering, stay or hall booking as we owned the hotel, wedding hall and catering too...

Thank God my grandfather started the catering business 🙇if not we would end up with the loss of atleast 15 lakh rupees😡

These both are unbelievable...they fought on this stupid topic and finally our parents who pampered these idiots agreed... God forbidden I and Siya have such adamant kids tomorrow I'm going to literally disown them😠

Kids??? What are you thinking Raghav... Relax....slow...slow...

I laughed at my thoughts...

Just then I saw Siya walk out of the bathroom...

Wet hair dripping on her yellow kurti...

She looked like a morning sun shining in 🌞on a cool breezy winter morning...

Admiring Siya silently while she got ready was my favorite thing to do...

But today her kurti's deep neck with a strings left open gave a strong itch in my hand to get closer to her...

While I was just about to go near her... Her phone rang...

And the next thing I heard made my blood boil...

'Apppyyyyyyy'....Good morning....yes... completely ready....yeah....Sure we guys will join you for your housewarming party... Ya sure .... ofcourse...'

Hihihi hahaha...bloody Dr Gooseberry 😠😠😠😠

Spoilt our moment....

Every day he calls Siya...it's been 5 days he's been in Mangalore now and not a single day passes by if he doesn't call my wife...

It's like his parents being in the US became the biggest headache in my life...

Siya this Siya that 😡😡😡 I will one day dig his grave 😠😠😠

I need a shower...huhhhh...

While I finished having my shower and stepped out...I saw Siya smiling and standing in front of me❤️❤️❤️

I suddenly felt happy ❤️❤️❤️

'Raghav....are you free today evening...hmmm atleast by 6?' she asked...

I'm forever free for you darling ❤️💕 I thought to myself and said...

'Anything for you Siya...tell me??? Shopping again?'

While she probably remembered our last shopping and her eyes popped out 🤣 she looks so cute when she gives such reactions 🤣

She looked elsewhere and turned around suddenly and said...

'Ummmm nope... Actually Appy had purchased his new apartment in Kavoor...it's his house warming party today evening... so if you can make some time can we go please' she said...

That Dr Gooseberry's house warming 😏 who wants to go to his house... Huhhh...

'He's asked me to request you to join in specially' she said...

Tolerating him on the phone itself was tough attending his housewarming in person...my foot!!! No ways...

'Ummm No Siya actually today evening I was thinking of going to visit our Surathkal hotel so that we could see how's everything' I tried my level best to deviate...

'Ohhhh.... Uhhmmmm....No problem...I'll ask Vish... ' she said while I noticed she felt bad and continued to picked her bag and phone and left to bakery...

What the hell??? She's ok if I don't come??? But she can't miss out his function...

Now this Appy Crappy was getting on my nerves!!!

Evening although I made plans to go to Surathkal hotel...I somehow couldn't make up my mind to let Siya go to that Dr Gooseberry's house warming..

He gets so touchy with Siya...ahhhh my mind...

***

Siya's POV:

Aditi denied to come for the housewarming party due to 'personal reasons'

Raghav also denied due to his 'business commitments' and Vish also promised to come but hasn't still come and here Iam attending Appy's house warming party where I literally didn't know anyone😔

Soon I felt Appy pull me into side hug...
'Siyuuuuuu...feeling left out...my little lost lamb?'

I smiled and said...'Its fine....'

Come sit let's chat... And we started chit chatting about old times...

Appy was literally 7 years elder to me... He was my neighbor... We were closenit neighbors... Appy's mom Chandni aunty was a Bunt and Appy's dad Mahesh uncle was a GSB. As usual there were caste politics and literally Appy never felt the love of family... It was from my family that he got immense love... Chandni Aunty and Mahesh uncle were a beautiful couple and were glad that Appy was getting immense love from my family...

When both Chandni aunty and Mahesh uncle had to travel for their business...Appy stayed in our house... My parents treated Appy like their own son...so much that I was made to shift to Aditi's room and made to vacate room for Appy when she stayed with us and Appy loved mom dad like his own...

Infact when dad had a hemorrhage... doctors here suggested of surgery that's when Appy suggested us Anant uncle whom later I discovered to be Shilpa's dad.

Thanks to both surgery was avoided and dad got cured only on meds...

While slowly we noticed guests leaving one by one ...

I was left alone with Appy now...

'Cold Frappe with extra cream?' Appy asked and I nodded my head...

'Siyu.... You are happy right?' he asked...

'Why... what happened..'

'Ummm..... No I actually heard about Aditi rejecting Raghav and then you...I mean'

'Im ....uhhh... fine Appy' I said...

While Appy looked at me suspiciously...

'Is there a problem Siyu?'

'Ummm..n...na...no' I said...

'Siyu I know you since you were a 3 year old child... You stammer only when you are nervous or your LYING!!! What's the matter Siyu'

That's when we heard a door bell.

Appy went and opened the door...

And I saw Raghav standing there...

'Heyyy....you made it .. welcome' Appy called him inside...

While he was analyzing the house...as to searching for someone or something...

Suddenly he asks...

'Where are the guests???'

'Oh they almost left....I'

He cut Appy and said...

'Oh...so you both are having a private party now?'

I somehow didn't like the tone he said that statement....

Even Appy didn't like it... infact he got pissed but he controlled his anger ...just while Appy went on to explain something...

There was another bell....

While Appy went to open the main door...I saw Raghav's eyes gaze me like I did a crime coming here....

It felt like Raghav wasn't in his usual self.

I also remembered something and chose to walk out into the balcony...

As it was a high rise apartment... We could literally see the sea from his balcony...

Soon I felt Raghav standing next to me...

'Looks like party went longer... It's already ticking 8' he said

I felt the sarcasm in his voice...

'I asked you to join...but seems like you have priorities to attend' I have back...

There was serious tension between both of us...

While I saw Vish walking in...

'Hi vanni'....sorry was stuck in a case' she said...

'But you were on leave today Right Dr Vishakha' Appy replied offering her a drink.

'I also attend other hospitals as a visiting doctor.... I hope that's clear Dr Aniruddh' she said

While I noticed they both were literally shooting each other with their eyes...

Soon they broke the eye lock and Appy went and got his camera requesting Raghav to click his picture with me ...

He said he had a family wall and he needed my picture too...

I felt like Raghav was trying to control his anger.

Soon he got up and said...
'Sorry I'll have to leave...I remembered Something important...'

And left from there in a hurry...

I had tears prick my eyes but I controlled them.
