Engagement Day,

"Jahnvi Di, are you ready?"
Asked Meera barging into her room.

"Yes, I'm!"
Jahnvi mumbled anxiously. Looked herself through the mirror contemplating whether she should go or not.

"Oh come on, Jahnvi Di. It's not your engagement. It's their engagement. So, don't be so nervous. It doesn't suit you, after rejecting my brother.
But, I can't deny the fact that you're my sister. So, yeah I'm at your side, but not for this. Okay! So don't get into this misunderstanding, I'm on your side!"
Meera announced relentlessly trying to not be soft.

Meera, too! Don't want him to marry her. She can't withhold what her sister has done!
To be precise, she was grieved for both.
As Jahnvi will leave tomorrow and Krish will be wedded!

When Jahnvi didn't reply Meera Swiftly ran and hugged her from behind snaking her arms around Jahnvi's neck, and started sobbing.

Jahnvi got startled and looked at her in confusion from the mirror and pressed her hand.
"What happened Meera? Hmm? Why're you crying?", She implored calmly trying to be strong.

"I'll miss you! And..and Why're you doing this Jahnvi Didi when you know how much he loves you!", Meera complained sobbing in a broken voice.

Jahnvi's eyes got moistened and turned back to face her.

"Sometimes leaving the things is better than claiming them when we know they don't belong to us! I'll miss you too, meeru! But, that doesn't mean I won't be in contact with you. I want to know the daily updates and the tragedies which you make in school Okay!" Both giggled with tears in their eyes.

While Meera smiled sadly on noticing that her sister again avoided talking about him.
That she has held her emotions of not showing affection towards him.
She couldn't contemplate how people hide their emotions so well that it encourages others to see them strong.

"I won't just lecture you but you better act mature. Try to support Muma emotionally when I'm not here. At the end of the day, talk with her, laugh and watch anything don't only roam around with friends. I know I sound rude but Muma has no one other than her daughters to be taken care of. And then I have to work for her too.", Meera nodded positively listening to her, and smiled when Jahnvi clears her teardrops on the cheeks.

"I will take care of her and you take care of your health too. I will not be there with you for our daily healthy quarreling "
Meera giggled and Jahnvi embraced her sister in a hug.

"Whenever you get scolded or fight with Muma don't leave this house and roam in Kitchen to eat chocolates, crying. You know na whenever she scolds us she gets hurt too"
Jahnvi kissed her hair holding an unknown emotion.

"Eat chocolates in a limit. Don't irritate Mumma much. Little Bit is okay! Take care of her. When I'm not here! And you wanna ruin your make-up by crying!"
Meera broke the hug and again complained.

"Now, you wanna waste your time here by scolding me, or else we'll get late", she said rubbing tears.

"Mumma has left already. Now, we are left to leave. So, you've to drive the car and I want to reach there on time and ALIVE"

"As if I don't know driving"

"Yes, you know driving and that scares me", Meera acted horribly and Jahnvi tapped her arm laughing.

Whereas at the Engagement Venue Krish was getting ready all dull and uninterested.

"Krish, are you inclined to do this engagement?", Nandini asked in a calm tone taking a seat beside him. Whereas he was trying to keep himself busy on the phone.
