Annika

I came to my room and sighed throwing my bag on the bed. Slumping to it, I looked at the window. Marriage!

I have always been fascinated about weddings and its functions. I've even dreamt to have dreamy magical wedding but now when it's coming in frame, I'm freaking out.

It's not like I don't wanna marry or I'm scared to meet this man but it's just I'm little nervous. For god sake, it's my first time.

Shivaay! Hmm..interesting name! I thought and took out my phone to search about him but then stopped. Internet will only show what he is for world and I can't judge him on that. After all it will be a personal relationship, not professional.

Taking my shorts and t-shirt, I went to take a bath before moving down to help mumma and bhabhi. Well it's not like I can't cook, it's just I don't like cooking. Mumma taught me cooking because of two reasons. First, as it will help after I get married and second, if I'm staying alone I can at least feed myself.

Tying my hair in bun, I was moisturizing my hand when suddenly a thing came in my mind. What if he pretends to be a sweet guy in front of family and instead be a self obsessed jerk. Shit! My life will be spoilt.

What if I meet him before meeting with the family? But what if he finds me a desperate person. Whatever it is, even if he finds me one I can't help. I can't let my life spoil because of it.

Taking my phone, I walked out of my room and descended down to hall to see bhai troubling bhabhi when she was setting something in dining table.

"What bhai! Always troubling my bhabhi. Bhabhi I'm telling you, you're stuck with a demon", I said picking up the cucumber from the plate on table. She chuckled walking to the kitchen.

"Says the devil herself", bhai said hitting my head from back making me frown and punch on his stomach, "ahh! Eat less woman, you're getting hard on your bones", he whined making me blow my knuckles.

"Let bhai come, I will see this", he whispered in my ear making my eyes widen. Oh yes! I need to tell bhaiya too! I glared at him, "bhai loves me a lot so shut up", I said to him with a fake smile.

"Of course, as he know the good girl you pretend, I know this little monster", he said making me roll my eyes. Then the thought came in my mind so I turned to him.

"Bhai.. I wanted to say something", I said looking at him. He saw my face and concern came on his face, "all okay Anu?", he asked cupping my face. Just then I saw papa and partner coming to dining area.

"I will say but promise me you won't tease", I said frowning knowing his nature, "accha I won't, say what's troubling you", he caressed my cheek asking.

"Bhai.. Papa I want to meet him once before meeting with entire family", I said looking at both the men biting my lower lip, "he! Who?", bhai asked making me narrow my eyes. Papa hit on his head from behind, "of course she's asking about Shivaay", he said making bhai smile sheepish with an "oh" making me roll my eyes.

"Papa, when we'll be meeting with families that comfort won't come in talking, I wanna know him well before proceeding, if no one has any issue, I would like to meet him once before family", I said filtering my main motive. He hummed thinking, I looked at bhai who looked back at me, his expression also looked like thinking.

"Papa.. I don't think it's wrong in meeting alone. Even Anu will know how's he is, whether he's gentleman or not around him when they're alone", bhai said making me smile lightly. I looked at papa.
