Gauravi's POV
Parking my car on the porch, weariness settled in after enduring a marathon of duty hours covering for a colleague. Longing for the solace of sleep, my anticipation shifted abruptly upon entering our home, where a symphony of aromas enveloped the air, the whole house was bursting with aromas of different delicacies.
Tami (Gautami) and Sri ( Sri Nidhi) were arranging fresh flowers in the vases while Chachi orchestrated household tasks. Everyone was busy.
" Hey, what is going on? " I inquired.
" Di, Mihir Jiju and his family are coming for the dinner. " Sri revealed.
" All of a sudden? On a weekday?" I queried.
" Gautam Bhai called up to tell us that Mehul Bhai, Megha ji, Mihir, Mahi, and Ron are coming for dinner. " Chachi replied with a broad smile.
Exhaustion and irritation clashed within me. " But why? I am so tired, almost dead on my feet, I just wanted to eat something and sleep. "
Chachi, teasingly optimistic, declared," Oh, c'mon dear, you will be as fresh as a flower as soon as you see Mihir. "
Protesting my fatigue, I just rolled my eyes. Tami just smiled and went to the kitchen.
" There is nothing like that... I really want to sleep. "
" But you can't go and get ready. They will be here in half an hour. " Chachi said.
" Chachi... "
" No arguments... " I engaged in futile arguments until Siddh and Chachu walked in carrying many bags. They both smiled at me.
" Oh, my god, Gauravi, you are looking like horrible. Go and get ready or we will have to call that idiot Vihaan (her friend and cardiologist ) to save Mihir. " Siddh said.
" Shut up! You go and see your face in the mirror. I look good in any condition." I said making a face. Everyone burst out laughing.
" Siddh, don't say anything to my princess, or I will beat you. " Chachu said hugging me.
" Dad, this is not fair, you always take her side. " Siddh said with fake anger.
" But dad, how can you beat Bhai, he is a boxing champion. Only Bade Papa can beat him, after all, he taught boxing to Bhai. " Sri said with a smile.
" I can still beat him as I am his dad. " chachu said. Just then Mom came out of the kitchen.
" Great! Everyone is here. Have you got everything I asked you to get, Siddh? " Mom asked.
"Ji! "
" Good, not go and freshen up both of you. Gauravi, go and take a bath. Shruti, since you are ready, please give them some snacks and tea, I will go and get ready." Mom said to Chachi. She nodded with a smile.
" Tami, go and change... " Mom said to my younger sister Gautami( Tami)
" Why do I need to change, Mom, they are not coming to meet me. I am fine, as it is I have a lot of work, I have to submit my project tomorrow, so I will stay in my room." She said and went away before Mom could argue.
" This girl is always busy. " Mom shook her head and said.
" Mom, I need to talk to you. " I said.
" Later on... I have to be ready before your dad and Shahs come. I am sweating after making so many things. " She said and rushed to her room.
" Go get ready... " Chachi pushed me to my room.
Why the hell didn't Mihir say anything to me? Why are they coming to our place?
