Sonakshi's POV:

I am standing in front of the mirror and analyzing my look.I look beautiful in this red saree, it is simple but I love to be simple.I haven't applied any makeup,just applied some talcum powder on my face and lip gloss on my lips.

My knee length hairs are neatly tied in a hairstyle with clips,thanks to my sis she is very much interested in fashion and stuff.Yeah I have really long hair, all credit goes to my Dadi(Grandma) as because of her age old natural remedies I have this long hair length.Basically,besides this extraordinary hairs, my other features are just ordinary.

Overall I look Ok, I guess.I glaced myself in the mirror for the last time. I am really tired of this proposals and stuff but my maa is really hopeful about it so I need to do it.Atlast when they will know the truth, they are also going to reject me as the previous families did.I sighed and went downstairs.

"Anshi why are you getting ready like a model, they are coming to see Sona not you" my brother Anshu(a.k.a Anshik) playfully said to my sister Anshi(a.k.a Anshika).

"What are you saying Anshu? This is my usual look. I look like a model everyday but an ugly duckling like you will never know my worth" Anshi flaunted.

"Did you just called me ugly? " Anshu  asked her in anger.

"Yes I did" Anshi replied

"You monkey faced human, I will..... "Anshu was saying but stopped after hearing my voice.

I interrupted their fight"Guys cool down why are you behaving like toddlers and stop fighting please".

"Sona he started the fight" Anshi said.

"No I didn't" Anshu said

"Ok do whatever you want" I replied in defeat as I know this war is unending.
I made my way out ignoring their screems and walked towards the kitchen.
My Dadi was looking tensed and I know the reason why so.

"Maa please taste this, it is a new receipe especially I made for today" my mother was forcing my Dadi to eat her new receipe.

Let me tell you it is not a good sign.My maa is really a great cook, but now a days she tries to be a cool mom by making some stuffs that she refers as a mixture of modern and traditional food.It is an innovative idea but reality turns into a disaster.And rest of us need to face this disaster by trying it and making false comments so she won't get hurt if we say the truth.

"No bahu(daughter in law) today I am fasting" Dadi lied.

"O.. but in morning you had your breakfast so? " Maa asked and Dadi's look was worth seeing.

"Yeah... Hmm.. It is called half day fasting bahu" Dadi tried to defend herself.

"I didn't heard of something like that, are you sure or..... " Oh no I think I need to save my Dadi.

So I spoke to divert maa's attention "Maa-Dadi I am ready"they both turned towards me and eyed me from top to bottom.

Dadi spoke first"Sona you look beautiful!"

"Thank you Dadi" I replied.

"Yeah Maa she does, my baby" Maa joins her.

"Thank you to you too" I said to maa.
Before anyone could speak baba's(father) voice boomed"Reema,come here".
Maa left the kitchen and Dadi thanked me for being her knight in shining armor.We both too went in the hall, were another scene was created.

"Reema how dare you to put my musical instruments in the store room" Baba asked maa furiously.

"Pritam ji, guest's are coming and the space in living room is small so to adjust the space I kept them there" maa replied.

"Oh so my instruments are a burden on you, what do you know about Music?Nothing right.Don't disrespect my Art by calling it a burden" Baba replied childhisly.

"But I didn't said that it is a burden you are making your own theories"Maa replied.

Oh this is not gonna end well they always fight like small children's and then give silent treatment to each other and it takes days to end their fight.In there war me, Anshi, Anshu and Dadi are troubled because we have to take one of their side. And when we take one's side the other one stops talking with us.Difficult isn't it?

"Oh..old man and woman just relax you are making an issue of just a small thing" Anshu tries to bring peace but as soon as this words left from his mouth they both glared him.

"I am not Old" both replied in unison.

"Ok-Ok I take my words back easy then" Anshu replied hurriedly.

Anshi, Dadi and I giggled.

Dadi said"Ok we will discuss this topic later after the guest's go, fine"

Maa- Baba first glared at each other but eventually nodded their head in agreement.

This is my crazy little family.Every time I am around them I feel like the most luckiest person on this planets.They act really weird sometimes but it's ok.I love all of them, they are my world.

My chain of thoughts broke by sudden entry of Rani aunty with some of the guest's.Rani aunty is basically our neighbour, she literally hates me I don't even know the reason for that.When maa informed me that Rani Aunty  arranged this proposal I was shocked would be an understatement.But eventually I thought that might be she tried to do something with a kind heart.

Rani aunty entered first and said"They are here.....
