"Okay! It's gonna be okay! Cool! Smile Arvi! Make them fall with your smile!" I muttered to myself, chanting all positive affirmations

"Okay! It's gonna be okay! Cool! Smile Arvi! Make them fall with your smile!" I muttered to myself, chanting all positive affirmations.

I heard a chuckle beside me but I ignored it. Abheer can get away from anything being the smart, serious person that he is. I can't be serious to save my ass! I have to use different tactics.

"Baby! It's going to be okay! Stop being so nervous!" Abheer said holding my hand and I glared at him.

"Easy for you to say! I am in this situation right now because of you!" I said dramatically wiping my fake sweat and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"You do realize that to clap, both hands are necessary right?" He pointed out I just twisted my mouth like a kid and went ahead.

We reached downstairs to the living room where all the elders are seated and opposite them, a sofa is left empty for us. Damn! This is getting real! And this legit looks like a movie scene! Another Bollywood moment! Except this is no fun!!

I looked to the side to see our gang sitting there with food in their hands. I am not evening kidding. Each one of them is sitting with their snacks and my mouth fell open at their audacity. How fucking dare they??

I narrowed my eyes at them and glared at them murderously. They royally ignored it, waving me off, and just then Bhavya Maa called us.

"Sit down both of you" she ordered and we both sat down. Abheer sat comfortably like a king and I sat down like a scared mouse.

I gulped looking at everyone's serious expressions and cleared my throat.

"So... actually...." I started only to be cut off by a series of questions from literally every one of them.

"When did this start?"

"Who initiated it?"

"Who proposed first?"

"Who is the culprit?"

"How did this start?"

"Why did you guys hide it?"

"What are your thoughts about getting married?"

"Why didn't you guys tell us?"

"Why didn't you guys tell me?"

"Who all knows other than us?"

"You told everyone but us?"

"How did you guys manage from Bangalore to here?"

"Have you thought about kids?? How many do you want?"

"Are you guys using protection?"

"Rajeev!!"

And after the blast of questions, Rajeev Uncle's last question made everyone stop and they all turned to him with disbelief written on all their faces.

"What the hell Raj?" Bhavya Maa exclaimed and he just gave a sheepish grin scratching the back of his head.
