*Mridula Pov*

I continued to walk or I can say that I let them drag me wherever they wish to and explained whatever they wanted me to still in shock looking at all of them.

"What are you all doing here?" I asked as I couldn't stop myself.

"Why haven't you called us?" Nipuna asked back raising her eyebrow.

"I forgot!" I replied and stared at four of them who are looking at me with shock expressions.

"Are you not happy that we are here?" Amrin asked frowning at me.

"Of course not! She just hates us and never wants to see us again." Nipuna said before I could open my mouth.

"Mridula! You don't want even your best friend? Leave Nipuna bhabhi aside and think about three of us." Dileep said frowning at me.

"This is my old school." I immediately said when Nipuna and Dileep started their usual fight.

"If you want, we can leave." Amrin asked in a whisper while everyone is busy with looking at the building.

"I am only thinking about the arrangements and then still shocked seeing all of you here. I never thought you all would come a long way to meet me." I replied honestly to which she smiled.

"You are important for everyone, Mridula." Nipuna said, walking near us smiling.

"And don't worry about arrangements as they will be taken care by Aunty." Amrin added.

"She is here?" I asked with shock and then happiness.

"Yes! I can't imagine you would be this happy knowing this piece of information." Nipuna said shaking her head.

"Yeah! I still feel scary to have a word with her." Amrin mumbled and then they both glanced at their husbands.

"She is a great woman." I said, smiling at them and turned to walk towards the house with them following me.

However, I slowed down when I reached the house, seeing uncle standing near the car asking the driver to take out the luggage.

I averted my eyes and was trying to pass him without him acknowledging me, but stopped when he called my name. Everyone else walked inside the house, giving me assurance looks while I stood at my place fidgeting with my hands.

"Mridula! Do you think I will let you walk away after knowing you made my son cry?" his serious tone reached me, but I turned around in shock hearing his words.

"Cried?" I asked him frowning.

"Yes! Do you think I will let this matter go?" he asked with a stern expression.

"I... what should I do?" I asked him still frowning thinking about his word.

"Start accepting me as your uncle, if possible." He replied smiling.

"It will take a little time, but I will try." I mumbled honestly.

"That's all I need." He said smiling and then glanced at the house with a frown.

"You don't want to come inside?" I asked him frowning.

"I want to more than anything, but I am scared to know how much guilt I will feel more after seeing her and how could I stop myself apologizing feeling awkward between everyone. So, I am trying to waste time here as much as I can." He explained sighing.

"Do you want to talk to Mom alone?" I asked him feeling surprised hearing his words.

"Is it possible?" he asked back.

I nodded and made him walk to the backside of the house to the fields while I walked inside the house rushing near to Mom ignoring everyone and made her walk to the backside dragging her.

"What happened, Mridula?" Mom asked worriedly, but I didn't say a word until they are standing before each other, and she stilled looking at him.

"Sharadha!" Uncle said in a whisper.

"Bhai!" Mom said back with tears in her eyes, and I moved back near to the back door to give them some privacy so that the siblings can talk properly without hesitation.

"What is happening? My dad is crying there." I heard a whisper in my ear, making me startle, and I turned to see Tajwar standing behind me.

"He must be apologizing or something. Why did you cry?" I asked, frowning at him.

"Mom told you?" he asked, frowning back.

"No! Uncle told me. Now tell me." I said holding his shirt in determination to know the reply.

"I wanted nothing but to reach near you and felt scared when mom didn't start telling me your address. I didn't want to stay away from you for a second." He replied staring into my eyes.

"Bhai! Let's go inside and leave all of it. It was in the past and leave it there." We heard my mom's voice and turned back to see them walking near to us.

I too walked inside with no words to tell him after hearing his reply and saw Aunty talking with Dad. I smiled at her before rushing near to her and hugged her.

"You are not angry with me, right?" I asked moving back.

"Never! You are not angry with me, right?" she asked back.

"Never!" I replied, smiling and she laughed before ruffling my hair.

"I think we both have defects in ourselves. She never laughed like that with us." Nipuna's voice reached near us.

"Because if I don't act like a typical mother-in-law, then you will pass me in ordering around and then Amrin would make me do everything with her innocent expressions, even without her hand in it." Aunty said staring at them.

"Really, Aunty?" Amrin asked with such sweet voice and such happiness covering her face that we all laughed when Aunty groaned.

"See? I cannot handle these three daughter-in-laws with super powers." Aunty said before walking near to Mom.

"Thank you so much for forgiving him, Sharadha. He really repented everything for the past few months." Aunty said smiling at Mom.

"Yes! Ask anything you want, Sharadha. And you both will be coming with us and live with us." Uncle said smiling at them.

"We can't, Bhai! This village became a family to us, and we don't want to leave it, but we will be visiting all of you." Mom said smiling at him.

"Ok! But ask for anything you wish for, and it will happen." He said sighing.

"There is something we wish for." She said, making me frown.

"Done! What is it?" Uncle asked with an excited voice.

"We both saw only the pictured of our daughter's wedding. We want to see it with our own eyes." she replied, and I stilled understanding what she is asking for.

"What she is saying is, we would love to be present at her wedding if it is done again here." Dad explained to him, and everyone stilled this time understanding.

"It can be a small affair in the temple in this village with only the people standing in this house." Mom said smiling.

"I am so sorry, Sharadha. I would love to fulfil it, but it would be Mridula's choice." Uncle said sighing and stepped away.

"You would want this right, Mridula?" Mom asked, smiling more at me.

"She will say it on her own." Aunty said, shaking her head at Mom who frowned at all of us.

"I don't know about you all. But I am really tired. Can we have some lunch and take a rest while we think about this tomorrow?" Dileep suddenly said when I stood in shock feeling everyone's eye over me.

"Yeah! It is not anything like they are not already married. We will discuss tomorrow and let's have some lunch." Aahil said nodding.

"We need to prepare lunch. I totally forgot about it." Mom said, shaking her head and walked in the kitchen saying that it will take only a little time.

Aunty followed her after whispering to me "It will be only your wish."

When Dad and uncle walked outside the house to talk, Aunty walked back saying, "The driver will leave as he already stayed too many days here away from his family. All the men will stay in that room while the women will stay here. While Mridula's parents will stay in their room."

"No need for that, Bhabhi. We both will stay in my room, and Ajay will sleep in the room we arranged extra along with the driver's stay place with Bhai." Mom said changing the plans a little.

"What was that?" I asked Dileep in a whisper while helping them to settle in the room as the driver already left as per Aunty's instructions.

"Last time we didn't do anything to make all this as per your wish, but this time I am not standing back." he replied shrugging and glanced behind me.

I turned to see Tajwar standing near the door to the room with a frown already returning from mine with his luggage. I walked near to the door to leave, but he held my hand in his tightly before releasing it.

"So, are you going to think about a second marriage?" Nipuna asked the moment, I entered my room to call them for lunch.

"What?" I asked her with wide eyes.

"What she means is, are you ready to marry him again?" Amrin explained.

"I don't know! But for now, lunch is ready." I said smiling at them.

"You know we should leave everything and settle here." Nipuna said in the evening after dinner as we are sitting in front of the house for cool air.

"Then what will happen to the organizations?" we heard a sound and turned to see our husbands walking near to us.

"Where were you three during the evening? We couldn't ask with everyone talking at a time." Amrin asked them while we moved to let them sit near to us.

"We were talking to Ajay uncle, and they didn't allow us to step outside the room just going on talking about everything." Tajwar explained to her and glanced at me before passing a small packet.

I smiled at it and took the garland out before putting it in my hair. Then I glanced up to see four pairs of eyes looking at me with eyebrows raised while one pair is showing happiness.

"He brought you those?" Amrin asked before smiling at me.

"Every day!" I replied, smiling back.

"God! Why is everyone so romantic except my husband here?" Nipuna asked looking up.

"Nipuna!" Aahil said, glaring at her.

"Am I telling lies?" she asked before glancing at Amrin and me.

"Even Dileep didn't bring them right?" Aahil asked, rocking Aahna taking her from Nipuna.

"As far as I know, Dileep is the romantic one more than his two brothers. He is good at only that." Nipuna said immediately adding the last line.

"Isn't he, Amrin?" she asked, glancing at her.

"I don't know! I mean, he is ok." Amrin replied, staring at all of us.

"Really, Amrin?" Dileep asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Fine, fine!" she immediately said, smiling and I felt a hand over mine which I placed to my side.

"Don't put your finger in mouth, Aahna." Nipuna said, staring at the baby before removing the finger.

"She is princess of Ivaan. She can do anything." Dileep said scolding her before taking Aahna from Aahil and rocked her while smiling.

"Are you serious?" Amrin and I asked at a time.

"What? Isn't she? She should have been named as Ivaani. Then we could have gotten her used to, Ivaani, the princess of Ivaan." Dileep said grinning at Aahna.

"Name your daughter like that, but leave mine alone." Nipuna said glaring at him.

"Good idea! What do you say, Amrin?" he asked, looking at her.

"I think we should wait for years until you stop saying that Ivaan word." She replied, smiling at him, and I laughed along with everyone seeing Dileep's expression before leaning onto Tajwar's shoulder and held his hand back.

"Come to the fields tomorrow morning at four." he suddenly whispered in my ear, and I frowned looking at him.

"Why?" I asked, to which he smiled before pecking my forehead.

"Mridula! Did you think about the second marriage matter? I think it would be better if you choose Tanmai this time. Somehow, he will be in our family, and that's all I need." Nipuna said grinning at me. And Tajwar immediately circled his hand around my waist.

"But what about his girlfriend?" I asked her smiling.

"It is ok! We will just kidnap him." Amrin said in an assurance tone.

"Then it will be really bad because I don't want to hurt Nipuna by marrying her present crush." I said shrugging.

"Mridula! You are growing up. I am feeling so proud." Nipuna said, brushing away imaginary tears.

"Leave her growing up and talk about this preset crush matter." Aahil said glaring at her.

"Would you mind? This is a personal matter." She said, waving him off and he immediately started tickling her and she ran away towards the house.

"It is getting late. We will go and sleep." Tajwar said, caressing my waist before getting up.

"Let's go, Aahil" he added before glancing at me and gestured at the fields with his head and showed four fingers with his hand.

"Here!" Dileep said after Amrin walked inside, passing the baby and walked away along with remaining.

I held Aahna to me for a second before getting up and walked inside to see Nipuna and Amrin laughing at each other and smiled at me before Nipuna took Aahna from me to place her in the cradle.

We drifted off into sleep, while I started thinking about, why did he ask me to meet him so early in the morning but couldn't think any reason.
