Annika

As I reached home, I had a smile on my face. I got down from the car smiling to myself and entered the hall to see all sitting there except bhai. I quickly calmed my emotions on face and walked to them.

"Hello family!", I exclaimed with a bright smile hugging partner from behind making all realise my presence and smiled widely.

"Annika! How's your meeting beta?", mumma asked excited and memories from the meet ran in my mind making me smile to myself.

"Ohho mumma! See the smile on Anu's face, of course it went amazing and beautiful, haina Anu?", bhabhi said asking to me at last teasingly.

"Nothing such bhabhi.. It was pretty good meeting, just that", I said shrugging trying to make it look casual. Bhabhi nodded teasingly making me blush.

"Bhabhi please!!", I whined and pouted making all giggle. Papa called me near him and asked me to sit. I settled down beside him, keeping head on his shoulder.

"How's the meeting Anu?", he asked gently caressing my hair making me smile softly.

"It was good papa.. He is a nice man it seems", I said honestly to see everyone smiling.

"Did you asked whatever you wanted to?", he asked again.

"Yes papa I think so. You know, he is sweet gentleman who is really warming", I said looking at him who pecked my head.

"So what do you think Anu? What did he said?", mumma asked impatiently as always making me chuckle.

"Mumma me and he are ready to give each other a chance", I said softly and blush crepting my cheeks. As soon as all heard my answer, the ladies of my family started rejoicing. Mumma walked to him and hugged me kissing my head.

"I'm so happy for you Anu! Finally you'll get married", she said making me smile softly nodding.

"Annika you're sure right? You're not doing this for us na?", papa asked to which I smiled widely. I've always been his first priority. I hugged him tightly from side shaking my head.

"No papa, I genuinely liked him", I said making him smile widely and hugged me.

"Rajveer now when laado is okay with the alliance and as she said, even he said that too, we should talk to Oberois", partner said making me bite my lower lip in nervousness. I've to meet his family too, omg!!

Papa nodded and called Oberois who informed that even Shivaay is ready for this alliance making my heart flutter.

It got decided that they'll be coming for lunch tomorrow at our place where me and Shivaay could meet each other families and discuss about further things. I suddenly started feeling mixed emotion of excitement and nervousness.

I was lost in my thoughts when my phone rang. It was from Aisha. She called to inform about an emergency case came up suddenly which needed me. Telling that I'll be coming in a while, I bid bye to my family.

"Annika come early by 7 at least", I heard mumma shouting from behind.

"I'll try my best mumma", saying back, I left for hospital.

Shivaay

After I came back from my meetings for lunch, I saw multiple missed calls from mom, dadi, badi maa and even OmRu. Getting worried that what happened all of a sudden, I dialled back to mom.
