Next Day Luthra House
The atmosphere in the dining room was tense. Arhaan, despite being small, could feel something was not right so he remained silent. Everybody's eyes darted between Karan and Ananya, waiting who will apologize first.
But they forget that Ananya was an Arora after all; just like her sister, she was a stubborn woman who would never apologize if she believes that her words is true.
Finally Karan gave up. He didn't like not taking to his bhabhi. After all she is the one who can understand him so well after Preeta and Sameer and now in this given situation they are, Ananya is the only one who can understand him.
"Okay! Fine!" Karan sighed, everybody even Ananya hid a smile, "Ananya Bhabhi, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talk to you like this. I admit it's my mistake. But I have only one request, I don't want anyone to talk again about my marriage. My answer will remain no."
Ananya looked at him and sighed. Rishabh looked at Ananya expectingly but she refused to look at him. It was when he hit her under the table that Ananya gave up.
"I'm sorry too Karan. I shouldn't have bring it up knowing what she mean to you. I promised I won't bring up the subject again." Ananya said, carefully phrasing her words so that Arhaan doesn't get suspicious.
Finally the atmosphere returns back to normal and everyone was talking and laughing as if it wasn't silent and tense some moments ago. Arhaan looked at his elders confusingly and slapped his forhead muttering under his breath,
"They are so confusing. Why did I get a weird family as them?"
Preparations for the upcoming engagement were full on swing for the next two days. After all,it's the engagement of the youngest son of the Luthra family to a well-known and successful model.
On the other side, Preeta was very busy the next two days. She tried to cover up all her works before Saturday. She already asked a half-day off to her boss who luckily accepted it. She still didn't say anything to Shrishti, wanting it to remain a surprise.
The night before the engagement, as usual, Preeta was standing on her balcony drinking her coffee while admiring the city of Mumbai. It's been her routine to always drink her coffee on the balcony since she was back.
It was very soothing and relaxing for Preeta. Mumbai was so beautiful at night. It gave Preeta another vibe which is different from the vibe of London. She missed London of course but she is Indian after all and everyone loves their homeland first.
Her phone rang and she already guess who was it. She went back inside to take the ball and come back outside to sit on the chair outside and talk.
"Hi Shivani!" Preeta said happily.
"Ahh you remember you have a friend name Shivani. I thought you forgot about us when you came back to India." Shivani said angrily.
"What nonsense are you saying?" Preeta said
"Nonsense? It's been 4 days since you're in India and you didn't call us back." Preeta could see her pouting on the other side. Preeta chucked at her dramatic friend.
"Aree yaar, we talk the first day. I know then we didn't talk again but I was busy with hospital and all. I have already started my job. I need to tell you what happened during these days..." And Preeta started narrating from her meeting with Shrishti, with Karan to becoming Dadi's personal physiotherapist and Rakhi Aunty inviting her - mainly blackmailing her- to the engagement of Shrishti to again meeting Karan and Arhaan, her nephew who didn't know her.
Least to say, Shivani was speechless. In a spam of two days, Preeta already met a quarter of her family. Shivani felt happy and at the same time guilty for her friend. She really wanted to be here for her during this period.
