I felt the happiness surrounding me, I felt overwhelmed because of it. It was a good feeling to have once in a time, it helped us in the present scenario, relieved us of stress, we all forgot about our problems and enjoyed ourselves like teenagers, which we were not. Every moment will have an end.
The three members surrounded Diya and me. They all approached me and I could not stop giggling by looking at them, they came towards me and I started begging them, "P-please don't come near me, you are looking gross, right Diya.
My princess nodded in agreement and we fell into another fit of giggling. I gasped when I felt Diya lifted from my grip and Diya squealed in surprise. The two men held my hands and Abhi placed Diya down.
"Diya, go near Aarav chachu(uncle) otherwise I will become tickle monster." At those words, Diya gasped and left me to the mercy of three men. "You guys hold her like that," Abhi ordered and left inside the kitchen and came back holding many things. I looked at Akky and Aarav for help but those both shook their heads.
I felt flour over my head and I closed my eyes. I heard a cracking sound and I felt something wet over my head. I did not struggle and endured my fate. I heard all of them laughing, I cleaned my face with my hands and glared at a single one of them, "I will get my revenge back." I said in the most scariest tone I can muster.
"What the heck happened to my kitchen?" I heard Anu's voice, my back was towards her so she did not see my face. She started lecturing us, "How can you guys have a food fight in my kitchen! Avni I thought you will be responsible one among them." I turned towards her and she gasped looking at me, she struggled to control her laugh.
"Anu don't!" I warned her and she tried to control her laughter by coughing.
"I will clean it up. You guys go and change." She shooed us out of the kitchen. I stomped out but waited near the entrance, when Abhi came out, I blocked his path and rubbed my head on his chest ignoring his protests. I moved my head and checked my work, I felt satisfied. I smirked at him. His shirt now has stains over it. I took Diya from Akky and rubbed my face on her cheeks ignoring her pleads and left that place leaving everyone shocked.
They all came to their senses and followed me after some time. We all bundle up inside the car and reach for the hotel. I took Diya with me to the guest room I previously stayed in and bathed her first, I handed her to Akky and took a bath myself. I came out and found a tee and shorts already laid out for me, I changed into it and went into the living room. All freshened and changed their clothes, they were having some snacks while speaking. Abhi was sitting on the one couch, Akky between Nihal and Aarav, Rohan on an armchair leaving the place beside Abhi. I heaved a sigh and sat beside him, he did not even give me a glance at that arrogant bastard, and I too ignored him.
Diya asked me a question that reminded me of my new chapter in life. "Mama, when u coming home with us?" Akky gasped as if remembering something and left the room mumbling something about forgetting things. We all gave her weird looks. I tried to answer Diya as much as possible.
"Baby, first I need to marry your dada then I will come to your house."
"What is mawy mama?" She looked at me innocently. I struggled to find the correct words to explain it to her and all were looking at me expectantly waiting for the answer.
"Your dada and I need to take responsibility for you together. We need to offer god prayer that we will look after you together, that is marriage princess." Diya looked at Abhi and me with adoration in her eyes.
"Love you, mama." Diya came and hugged me. She started yawning and Aarav took her to her for her nap, he stopped me from leaving telling me that they need some time for bonding.
"You did a good job." Abhi praised me and I felt my eyes bulging out of their sockets.
Abhi
I do not think I am saying these words but I really enjoyed the food fight we had in the kitchen. I was angry with Avni for going against my wishes and for blackmailing me using Diya. I can feel that Aarav was whipped for her and she impressed Rohan. She was wooing everyone in my family. I started the fight but it turned out to be amazing. I had a great time with my friends and family after a long time. I noticed her from the corner of my eye, she looked sexy in those shorts, and I tried hard not to look at her. I heard the answer she gave to Diya, I felt grateful that she explained that to a 3-year-old. I praised her before I can stop myself.
"You did a good job." Her reaction to that was comical, I appreciate people for their hard work, and I am not that cruel.
"You are praising me." She pointed to herself, Nihal and Rohan chuckled at her. Rohan answered her question,
"Hey, don't be like that, he actually praises others for good work." Rohan does not speak to others until they are close, I did not expect that from him, I think Avni is a magnet who draws others towards her and makes others feel at ease. Akshaya came back with some papers in her hands, she sat in front of us and started telling us about marriage preparations.
"So, the marriage date is fixed, it is 10 days from now. We need to decide on a venue for the marriage. What do you guys suggest?" She asked us both.
"I think New York will be good, we have our house there and main office. I was supposed to shift there, so why not marry there." I said without a second thought. Akshaya hesitated for a moment.
"Bhai, you are not shifting. Dad decided that it is best if you settle here in India after marriage, I think you need to speak with him." I did not know this information, I wanted to question Dad and force him into agreeing with me but I cannot do that to him when he is in this condition.
"Ok, I will speak with him later. Marriage will be held in India." I said with conviction. They started discussing possible venues.
"I don't want to make marriage a big affair, let us keep it small. We can have a reception with as many guests as you wish." Avni said to Akshaya, I think she liked to keep the event private. Akshaya nodded her head in understanding and even I agreed with her.
"I will discuss with dad and uncle regarding this and fix a place as soon as possible. Tomorrow is your engagement."
"What!" We both said at a time shocked.
I was furious that they did not discuss this proposal with me, "Akshaya you should have discussed this with me before deciding." Rohan came to her rescue.
"Man, do not be angry with her. She has nothing to do with this. Just go with the flow and control your anger." I calmed after listening to his words. I noticed Nihal scowling at the ground, I ignored him and focused on Avni.
"Are you okay with this Avni?" She was startled because of the question, looked at me, and gave a timid nod.
"Ok, so now everyone agreed to it. I need to go and oversee the preparation. Bhai, you take Avni and Diya shopping and buy matching outfits. I will leave now."
"Wait! I am going out. I can give you lift." Nihal offered and they both left. Rohan nodded at me and left the room leaving us alone. Avni was lost in her thoughts.
"Avni are you okay?" I touched her hand and she looked at me with tears in her eyes, I could not control my emotions and placed my hands on her cheeks. "What happened?"
"I don't know. My feelings are all over the place." She mumbled in a low voice.
"I am sorry Avni for the words I said on that day. I should not have said that. You are going to be the perfect mom for Diya." She first looked shocked and started chuckling and crying at the same
time.
"Thank you, Abhi. I appreciate it. Can't we give this marriage a chance, as we are bound for a lifetime?" She asked me. I blankly stared at her, Yes, I wanted to give this marriage a chance but I am afraid that she will be like Seema, Diya's mom, and leave me when I needed her the most. I cannot bear losing Avni after getting to know her. As I was contemplating giving her an answer, she took my silence as an answer and pulled her hand out of my grip.
Avni
His silence answered all my questions, I kept my pride aside and asked him the question and he did not give me an answer that was enough for me. I moved my hand out of his hold. I could not look into his eyes.
"I-I am s-sorry if I troubled you. I will leave now." I said looking at my feet and turned to leave but he caught my wrist and pulled me towards him. I fell on something hard and looked up to see Abhi. I was in his lap. My eyes widened in shock and I scrambled to my feet, I flushed bright red.
"Avni I want to tell you my answer, please sit." I sat on the couch after listening to his tone of pleading.
"I met Seema in college, I like her instantly after seeing her. She was always calm and innocent. We started dating and I got to know about her pregnancy in last year of college, who would have thought it was all façade," he chuckled mirthlessly I placed my hand over his and gave a light squeeze. He looked at my hand and started narrating his story, "I was going to propose to her even before I knew her pregnancy, and we planned to marry before Diya's birth and got engaged. Only Damini aunty was happy in my decision, others were opposing me telling me that her character is not good."
I feel really bad for him, it must have been bad losing someone you love, the heartbreak and all. I stopped him before he can continue his story, "You don't have to, and I understand that it can be painful." I gave him an encouraging smile but he shook his head.
"No, I have to. So I walked in on her having sex with another man," he took a deep breath and continued, "She tried explaining to me but I avoided her until I got a call telling me that Seema tried to kill my child luckily nothing happened to her, she was born prematurely by 3 months. I fought tooth and nail and got sole custody of my child. Do you know the reason that bitch gave me for almost killing me? Her words were, "I planned everything to get your money even got pregnant but you caught me in my act, if I have no use for the baby then why carry her?" She was a vile woman and I did not know her intentions, my only regret was that my baby would have died!" He completed but a question was nagging me.
"Abhi is Diya y-your-" he stopped me before my question was done.
"Yes, she is my child. We had to do a paternity test to win the court case. But I would have cared less." I smiled at that answer.
"And Avni, I am sharing this with you because I am ready to accept our relation and give it a chance. I was afraid to start a relationship because I was afraid that I may face the same fate I faced when Seema left me, I was devastated and became a shell of a person. Only Diya brought me out of it, I named her Diya because she was the light in my darkness." I felt my heartbeat accelerate after listening that he was giving my relation a chance.
"So you are giving us this relation a chance?" I asked him in a small voice.
"Yes angel, I would love to give us a chance. I may not be good at me but let us take a step at a time," he said and I squealed in delight and hugged him.
I hugged him tight and took his smell in. I felt him return my embrace, I felt complete we were hugging each other until a person coughed and we both broke our embrace. I was blushing so I bent my head so that they cannot see my face.
"Ok, I did not see anything." I heard Aarav's voice and lifted my head to see Aarav closing his eyes, Rohan with his mouth agape and Diya looking angry. She came and stood in front of Abhi with hands on her hip and glaring at him.
"Why you hug my mama?" She asked Abhi angrily that I found rather amusing and we all chuckled at the face Abhi pulled.
"Baby, I am your dada. You should be angry at mama for hugging me." Abhi said exasperated.
"No, my mama. You no mama." She came and pulled me away from him. I found Abhi's face rather comical.
"What do you think about it?" I asked Abhi showing him a green dress, he shook his head in no along with Diya. We were currently in a store shopping for my engagement, it has been an hour, and we did not even choose a dress. They were both infuriating, I huffed and sat down on the chair. We came to a mall here and we were the only ones in the whole shop, can you imagine?
"I still don't understand that why do we need the total shop for ourselves?"
"Angel, we will need some privacy. Just go with it. How about this one?" I flushed and checked the dress he has shown.
"No. It is too revealing," I said, he sighed and came out with other dresses, which I rejected at first glance. I saw that Diya was checking some dresses silently. Diya came and pulled me towards a dress and I loved it at first glance.
"Abhi, I love this," I exclaimed in happiness, Abhi nodded his head in agreement.
"My baby has excellent taste." Abhi praised Diya and she puffed her chest out in pride.
"Mama, wear it." Diya pleaded and went into the changing room. I changed into the blue lehenga, it was light blue colour with mirrors and some thread design on the skirt. I wore the blouse and was unable to reach the zipper, I struggled to reach the zipper, but it was not possible. I sighed and opened the door to find some help, I put my head out and found Abhi waiting there for me.
"Abhi, c-can you help me with the zipper, I can't reach it." Abhi nodded his head and came inside the changing room. I showed him my back, after a few moments I felt his cold hand on me sending shivers. I felt his breath over my neck and was lost in the feeling. He slowly raised the zipper. He took the threads and slowly tied them into a knot, I felt his hand over my back and
shivered at the sensation. He cleared his throat.
"Done." I asked him to give me a minute and he left. I sighed, what is happening to me? I am getting weird feelings when I am near him. What is this feeling called? I want to give it a name. Is this love? Or an attraction? I don't know what it is, but I want to enjoy this more.
I came out after a moment and showed my dress to Diya and Abhi, they loved it. We bought matching dresses for Abhi and Diya.
