"Ma it hurts. " A cute little boy weeped and complained to his mother.
"It should you ungrateful little brat. "

The boy woke up from his nightmare drenched in sweat.

The orphanage was in a rush.
Some guests were coming to visit it.

But all he cared about was the food that will be served today.

Whenever there is a guest, the cook will make some desert and that's the only time they got to eat desert other than the occasional Prasads from the mandir.

He giggled with anticipation at the thought.

And laddoo loved sweet things.

So he was happy anyways.
Today is going to be a good day. He just knew it.

"Mahika?"

"Mahika?"

She turned towards the sound then gasped.

"Romeo?"

She ran upto him and took him in a hug.

The said Romeo picked her up and twirled her.

She raised and eyebrow looking at him.
"Look at you. You grew your hair.
Looks good though. " Mahika stated in appreciation.

"And you look gorgeous as ever "

"Oh my god. It's been so long since I heard that. "
She squealed at him.

Dhruv coughed

That's when the friends remembered the presence of her husband and brother.

Mahika dragged the guy by the arms towards them.

" Hey Anil. " He said enthusiastically.

"AVYAAN BHAI...." Anil screamed then started to do some secret handshake with him.

"Show offs" Mahika scoffed but laughed nonetheless.

"Avyaan meet Dhruv. "

"Dhruv this is Avyaan. He was my bestfriend who failed to show up on my wedding."
She said giving him a playful punch on the shoulder.

Mahika was regretting her choice of wearing a simple sneakers. She would need a ladder to look at these giants.

"Avyaan Shekhawat. It's so nice to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you from Juliet right here. " He said extending his hands for a greeting.

She looked up at him with a grin.
"You remember. "

" Of course I do. " He whisper yelled.

"Drama queen " Mahika thought.

" Dhruv Singhania. " Dhruv said accepting his hand shake.

Mahika left her place beside Dhruv to sit beside Avyaan.
