Annika kept her hands on her hips. Though her posture seemed tired, her face had a content smile.
"You like the place bhabhi?" Om asked her, coming from behind.
"Yes, I love the place Om. Its perfect" Annika replied admiring the small site in front of her.
"I am glad bhabhi. Warna, I was just about to drop out of exhaustion" Rudra dramatically exclaimed as he kept his head on her shoulders and wiped the sweat beads off his forehead.
"Toh duffer, why did you come? You knew that it was going to be hectic. Bhabhi ke liye office ki jagah final karni thi. We weren't just roaming" Om smacked his younger brother's head.
"O, you both spent two whole days in selecting a venue and now are asking me why am I tired? Are you even human?" Rudra panted.
"For choosing the best, we have to scout a lot. All of our requirements must be met" Annika said, wiping the sweat off Rudra's forehead.
"Fine fine. I give up. Now that we have finalized the place, can we go back and have the delicious dinner bhaiya has promised us?" Rudra said and took out the car keys. Om and Annika both ignored him.
"Om, are we well within the budget?" Annika asked Om and he smiled.
"Yes, I discussed the details with the manager here and it is perfect. Plus, you have an advantage that the location is good. You can have good business here. The only work left now is making this place beautiful according to your personality. And I haven't my Oberoi name and the deal won't have it as well, just like you want it" Om said proudly and Annika hugged him.
"Thank you so much Om. You really are a genius and thoughtful. Otherwise I didn't know how I would have found such a place in just two days" She said, still in the hug.
"I still haven't gone by the way and won't have a problem with hearing a thank you for tolerating the both of you" Rudra whined and Annika pulled him in the hug.
"You are always important for me, Rudy boy. Thank you a lot" Annika said, caressing Rudra's hair.
"You are the sweetest bhabhi"
They broke the hug and Om said, "Bhabhi, so should we finalize the plot and sign the papers?"
"Om, fix this meeting for tomorrow. I want Shivaay to be there for it. He was the one who has played a huge role in this and I don't want to do this without him" Annika said sincerely which Om understood.
"As you say bhabhi. I am happy that you are both are taking a part in each other's lives" He said proudly.
Just then Rudra's phone started ringing.
"Bhaiya is calling. Come on, let's go. Otherwise, instead of food, he is going to eat all of us raw. It is quite late anyway" Rudra said and dragged both of them to the car.
The door bell rang and an impatiently pacing Shivaay immediately opened the door.
"How late! Kaha laga itna time" Shivaay asked as he gave all of them water to drink.
"Traffic Shivaay. And plus it is Sunday, toh it was more than regular" Om reasoned.
"Okay, you all freshen up. I will set the dinner table" He said and Omru went in to freshen up while Annika went into the kitchen as she saw Shivaay preparing the plates.
"Shivaay, can we arrange this in the balcony?" She asked hesitantly and he turned back hearing her.
"Annika, I don't have any problem but the table in the balcony is too small for four people. Bahot congested ho jayega" He said and she agreed.
