Title of this chapter is based on an old hindi melody.
Punam's POV
In the warm glow of Anshul's home, amidst laughter and joy. Papa and uncle talking whole heartedly and Vinay cracking jokes. Anshul was fondly gazing at his late mother's picture, I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for him. Seeking silent blessings of the woman who had been an inspiration to me, I couldn't shake the feeling of a deep connection forming between us. I wish i got to spend more time with her as my mentor and know her as a mother in law. I was lost in my thoughts staring at Anshul when he turned and made an eye contact with me and smiled at me which I returned with a blushing smile. Anshul, with his easy smile and infectious humor, seemed to effortlessly draw out a different side of me. Despite my efforts to remain composed, I couldn't help but blush in his presence and chatter away like never before. Though I had resolved to give the alliance a fair chance, seeing Anshul as the groom came as a delightful surprise, as if fate itself was playing cupid in our story. I hope I didn't made a fool out of me infront of him. Let it be, i need to stop overthinking, what matters in the end is that we all are happy.
"Bhaisahab I will talk to our panditji for the engagement date, if it's fine with you" maa said.
"Ji bilkul bhabhiji, I will also talk to Anshul's mausi as she helps us in all these things." Uncle assured maa.
Author's pov
Dr. Shreshth Maheshwari, Anshul's father was an orphan and didn't knew about his family much. He highly respected Neeta's family as he had been embraced by Neeta's family despite his orphaned upbringing, a testament to the bond they shared. Anshul's mausi was also a generous lady as Neeta was.
Punam's POV
"Chalo khana lag gaya, sab chalo pet puja kar lete hai" uncle said everyone standing up.
Everyone settled on the dining table and we enjoyed all the delicacies. Soon after the lunch after asking for Anshul's kundali we bid them bye. I was not able to talk to Anshul after our talk maybe will talk on phone. After reaching home I changed and relaxed on my bed and decided to call Suman.
"Hello, sun na when are you free? Mujhe milna h tujse kal hi" i asked her.
"Ohooo, kya baat hai ji humse milna hai, kuch gadbad to nahi ki na tune aur ab mujhse help chahiye" she asked teasing me making me smile.
"Nahi baba I just want to give you a surprise, when wil you be free tomorrow?"
"Ummm...after 5?" She said after thinking for a while.
"Fine with me, then I will be picking you up from your office" i told her.
"Naah I will come to your hospital and then we will head to eat burger" she said enthusiastically.
"Okay fine, bye bye" i said laughingly. Suman and burgers are inseparable.
Later, as I reflected on the day's events, I couldn't ignore the flutter of excitement in my heart and I slept off thinking about mine and Anshul's future.
Shrill sound of alarm woke me up from my dreamless sleep next morning. Waking up i completed my morning business and checked my phone. There was a follow request from Anshul. I accepted his request and followed him back. After that i I got ready and headed downstairs.
"Good morning maa, good morning papa" i wished my parents taking a chair for me at dinning table.
"Good morning bacha, come early from hospital if possible we need to go visit panditji" maa told me.
"Maa you and papa can go also today i am going to meet Suman" i informed maa and she nodded.
After having my breakfast i headed towards hospital. After doing today's OPD (out patient department) i visited NICU patients. After lunch i was going through some reports when my phone pinged with a message. It was from Anshul.
