"Hey, baby?" I smile cheekily, grabbing Shreyan's attention and the girl beside him.
He facepalms and looks at me, "Avyuktha?"

"Yeah, I have told the flowers guy. He will be here by tonight and start with decoration," I say on phone getting down from the car. "Karthik requested to order catering for more than 50 people than we have ordered. Look into it, Sam. Also can you please tell Chey to deliver Riya's dress to his house? I will inform Riya's mother-in-law."
I hold all the bags from the trunk and start to walk inside hanging up the call when Sam hums. Damn! I didn't know being a bride's brother is so tough. Everyone needs the bride's brother. By the end of the wedding, I will be made to even change a kid's diaper!
"Shre," I startle by Riya's scream and bags slip from my hands. "I didn't get my lehenga yet."
She is on the couch as the beauticians are experimenting on her face.
"You didn't have to shout for that, Riya," I scowl and sit on the couch taking a breath. "And, for heaven's sake, your lehenga is a girl thing and how the hell am I supposed to take it? Since yesterday, I didn't even have food." I click the pen and strike off the works from the list that are done.
"Water?" I take the water without looking up and try to schedule things for tomorrow's event.
I lift my head and gulp the water. My eyes fall on Avyuktha and I puke out water in shock. She immediately taps my head rubs my back and gives me a napkin.
"You fine now?" she mumbles when I close my eyes after coughing. I nod.
She looks around and I follow her gaze. Mom, Dad and Riya are looking at us lovingly with tears. Avyuktha moves away immediately and I stave off my gaze.
"When did you come, Avyuktha?" I ask her not looking at her.
"She was here since morning looking after the arrangements," mom says with a grin, "Just like how your wife would be doing. Riya asked her and you know our Avi! She can't disappoint her people. Also, she is daughter in law of our house and is carrying your baby."
I cough awkwardly and stand up. I need to tell mom the truth about our pregnancy. As Avyuktha ignored me, it completely slipped from my mind. "I need to go out to receive the gifts for Karthik," I look at Riya glaring, "I swear I am gonna kill your fiance for tormenting me like this."
Everyone laughs and Riya tosses a bill paper towards me, "Take sister-in-law with you." she looks at Avyuktha and smiles, "She knew that boutique."
"Also, Shre get Avyuktha a perfect dress," Dad instructs. Avyuktha shakes her head immediately and mom cuts off her when she tries to object, "We are not taking no as an answer, Avi. You are like my daughter and it's a small gift from a mother."
