Maine Pucha kahan ho tum
Usne Kaha teri Sansomein,
Tere dil mein,
Tere khayalo mein,
Teri Nas-Nas mein,
Maine pucha kahan nahi ho?
Usne kaha sirf teri kismat mein.

Author's Pov:

At Antil's:

Anshika's brows furrowed in confusion as she extended a courteous greeting. "Nice to meet you both. But brother and sister-in-law?"

Anshika's brows furrowed in confusion. "Brother-in-law and sister-in-law? When did this happen, Grandpa?"

Her grandpa, seizing the opportunity to enlighten her, excused himself and took Anshika aside. In her room, he revealed the details of the arranged marriage proposal with Ashwin, a revelation that left Anshika bewildered and, ultimately, resistant.

"But Grandpa, an arranged marriage? I can't believe you agreed to this without consulting me. This is my life we're talking about!" Anshika exclaimed, her frustration evident.

Her grandpa, a master of diplomacy, reasoned with her, "Anshika, my dear, it's for the sake of family. Ashwin is a good man from a respected family. Consider this as a union that will strengthen our bonds."

Anshika, torn between her personal desires and the weight of familial expectations, sighed in resignation. "For the sake of family, Grandpa? Fine, but I can't believe you didn't think to discuss this with me first."

The tension between them lingered, a silent acknowledgment of the clash between tradition and personal autonomy. Anshika, though reluctantly agreeing, couldn't suppress the internal turmoil stirred by the unexpected turn of events.

The tension lifted as Anshika returned to the gathering, the weight of the decision still settling within her. Viyaan and Noha, who had no inkling of the behind-the-scenes drama, continued their lighthearted exchanges, blissfully ignorant of the emotional rollercoaster Anshika had just experienced.

As the evening progressed, Viyaan and Noha found themselves immersed in the warmth of Anshika's hospitality. Anshika, despite the recent revelation and internal turmoil, charmed them with her kindness and humor. The trio engaged in playful banter, exchanging jokes and laughter that echoed through the mansion.

Viyaan, being the brunt of the jokes, found himself the primary target of Anshika's wit. She effortlessly blended into the familial camaraderie, becoming a beacon of humor and grace. Noha, too, couldn't resist joining in the laughter, relishing the unexpected bond forming between them.

Viyaan, despite being on the receiving end of the banter, couldn't help but appreciate Anshika's lively spirit. He found himself growing fond of this unexpected addition to the family, recognizing in her a kindred spirit of humor and warmth. Noha, ever the observer, noticed the subtle shift in Viyaan's demeanor and shared a knowing glance with Anshika.

As the night unfolded, Anshika, Viyaan, and Noha discovered a common ground—an unspoken understanding that transcended the complexities of their shared future. Anshika's acceptance of her impending marriage with Ashwin lingered in the background, temporarily overshadowed by the genuine connection forged in the midst of laughter and shared moments.

Viyaan and Noha found themselves in a unique situation, navigating the uncharted waters of familial ties and the impending marriage between Anshika and Viyaan's brother, Ashwin. As the evening progressed, the trio retreated to a more intimate setting, allowing for a candid conversation that would set the tone for their evolving relationships.

In a cozy corner of the mansion, surrounded by the subtle elegance of Anshika's decor, Viyaan, Noha, and Anshika settled into a comfortable conversation. The room, illuminated by the warm glow of ambient lighting, fostered an atmosphere of openness and camaraderie.

Viyaan, ever the charmer, took the initiative to break the ice. "Well, Anshika, looks like we're about to become family. The Viyaan-Ashwin bhai connection is in for some interesting twists."

Anshika, though still processing the unexpected turn of events, responded with a genuine smile. "Indeed, Viyaan. I must admit, this is quite an unconventional introduction to family dynamics."

Noha, always quick-witted, chimed in, "Oh, but aren't unconventional stories the most interesting ones? I'm sure our family saga will be one for the books."

Laughter echoed in the room, serving as a bridge between the uncertainties that lingered and the potential for shared bonds. As they delved deeper into conversation, Viyaan and Noha discovered the layers of Anshika's personality—her wit, charm, and the resilience that had defined her response to the unexpected marriage proposal.

Viyaan, intrigued by Anshika's composure, complimented her, "You handle surprises with quite the grace, Anshika. Not everyone can navigate uncharted waters with such poise."

Anshika's eyes sparkled with a mix of gratitude and amusement. "Well, Viyaan, life is full of surprises. Might as well face them with a smile, right?"

Noha, seizing the moment, added, "Absolutely! And speaking of surprises, you're going to have the most entertaining devar(brother-in-law) ever. Viyaan is a walking, talking party."

Viyaan playfully rolled his eyes, "Oh, come on, Noha. I'm not that bad."

Anshika joined in the banter, "Well, the night is still young, Viyaan. I'll reserve judgment until I've witnessed the legendary Viyaan party antics."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, meandering through topics that ranged from personal anecdotes to shared interests. Anshika, with her engaging storytelling and quick wit, effortlessly became a central figure in the dynamic trio.

As the evening unfolded, the conversation took a more introspective turn. Viyaan, sensing the need for a more heartfelt exchange, broached the subject of the upcoming marriage. "Bhabhi, I know this arranged marriage thing is a lot to take in. But I want you to know that Bhaiya Ashwin is a good man. And in the grand scheme of things, family ties have a way of surprising us with unexpected joys."

The trio, with their distinct personalities, found solace in the unity of humor and companionship. Viyaan, initially unsure about the arranged union, realized that beneath the surface, Anshika was a woman of substance and charm. Noha, ever adaptable, embraced the unexpected twists of familial bonds, recognizing in Anshika a potential ally in the uncharted territory of their shared future.

As the night waned and the echoes of laughter subsided, Anshika, Viyaan, and Noha retired to their respective spaces, each carrying with them a blend of emotions and unspoken thoughts. The mansion, now steeped in the promise of an unfolding tale, bore witness to the complexities of familial ties and the intricate dance of tradition and individuality.

So after all the day staying at antil's family! Viyaan and Noha bid byes! they both hugged Anshika! and were happy to have a bhabhi(soon-to-be-sister-in-law) like her! And then drove off the car To Singhania's

Next morning:

At Singhanias

"Everyone get ready before 11:00 AM" Grandpa shouted.

As Ashwin was getting ready in formal. His dadu said "where are you going?" 

Ashwin hesitated and finall said "Ahhh Ahhh Dadu actually- I got some work in office so-"

"Get ready and no office today" Grandpa said straight to his face.

"But Dadu that's important." Ashwin still said after his grandpa denied.

"Not More than Bhabhi, Bhaiya" Viyaan cutted off!

"tu toh bol he maat" Ashwin said irritatingly.
(you better don't say anything)

"Kyu? thik toh kaha usne" Said Grandpa taking viyaan's side.
(Why? He said everything right! )

At the end Ashwin nodded and went back to his room and changed the clothes to someone charming.

After 11:00 AM

"These ladies are always late" said grandpa

"Of course after all they are ladies with tones of makeup" Abhinav(father) said.

"My Bhabhi is not like that! She got a natural beauty and gets ready in few minutes before the given time" Said Viyaan while smiling.

"vapas se teri bhabhi ghasit raha bich mein" Ashwin said annoyingly.
(Again talking about your sister in law for no reasons)

"Ohoooooo Bhaiya said 'teri bhabhi'(Your sister-in-law)"Viyaan Chuckled.

Ashwin pissed and ignored.

In Car

As the family journeyed toward Anshika's home, the car hummed with nervous energy and whispered conversations.

 Abhiraj, seated beside Ashwin, broke the silence with a gentle smile. "Ashwin, my boy, I know this isn't easy for you. But trust me, Anshika is a fine young woman. You'll see."

Ashwin nodded, his expression a mixture of resignation and apprehension. "I hope so, Grandpa. I just don't know what to expect."

His father, sitting in the front seat, turned around with a reassuring smile. "Son, just keep an open mind. Anshika may surprise you in ways you never imagined."

Nodding, Ashwin attempted a smile, though the knot in his stomach remained. The anticipation built as they reached Anshika's neighborhood, the air tinged with the uncertainty of what awaited them.

Meanwhile, at Anshika's doorstep, Viyaan and Noha exchanged excited glances, their enthusiasm palpable. Noha adjusted her blouse nervously, her mind racing with anticipation.

"Viyaan, I can't believe Bhaiya's wife is going to be Anshika. This is surreal!"

Viyaan grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Oh, I can't wait to see the look on Ashwin's face when he sees us cozying up to Bhabhi. This is going to be epic!"

"Dadu you all can go I will be back in 10 minutes please" Said Ashwin being so nervous.

"Alright son" Grandpa nodded and they all went inside.

With bated breath, they rang the doorbell, their hearts pounding with a blend of excitement and curiosity. As the door swung open, Anshika greeted them with a warm smile, her presence exuding confidence and grace.Noha's eyes widened in admiration, while Viyaan's charming grin widened.

"Well, hello there, Humare hone wali bhabhi(soon to be- sister in law)! We've come to sweep you off your feet and show you the ropes of our crazy family. You are looking even more better is this is all because of bhaiya ehh?" Viyaan teased.

Anshika's laughter filled the air as she welcomed them inside, her demeanor putting them at ease.

"I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. Let's make today memorable!"

Back in the car, Ashwin's nerves reached a crescendo as they approached Anshika's home. The moment of truth loomed ahead, and he braced himself for the inevitable collision of worlds that awaited him. As they pulled up to the curb, he took a deep breath, steeling himself for the unknown that lay beyond the threshold.
