He was three, when he held her little finger for the first time. He didn't know, what future held for them. But he did know that he wanted to hold onto this lit...

"Aren't you a sneaky bitch?" Are the first words out of my sister's mouth after we are settled on the dining table. I look at Shea, she stops scrolling through the reels. Good God! How can she watch other people talk about their outfits all the time?
"Yes, I am, but I'm also small so it's adorable." Shea replies with the brightest smile I have ever seen on her face. "Muh mat lagio tu mere, kamini!" Zia throws a grape at her; it hits her on the forehead and falls down. She leans to get it back and after making fifty-six shades of adorable faces, she finally gets back up.
"Okay! Tyode veer the lag loongi, thik?" Shea smirks at Suhana, I just shake my head at the two. Kaha phas gya waheguru? I shot Advik a message asking about his whereabouts.
"Iske hi lagio tu, kanjar." Zia says making a disgusting face at her best friend and then going to ignore her. "What did I dooo?" Shea whines.
"Chup hi rah tu." Zia says. Ahaana shrugs saying okay and goes back to stuffing her face.
"Where's Maa?" I ask our house help.
"They all went for Roka preparation, Baba. They had to finalize the priests for paath and the official Roka ceremony, and also had to buy some gifts for Chinu beta." Our eldest house help Amarjeet Dada says. Zia and I chuckle at the name. Shea pouts looking at Dada.
Shea's grandparents named her Chinu. As she was so little at the time of birth. Her Grandma always called her Chinu, never Ahaana or Mehr or Shea. Just Chinu. The name stuck with all the elders. She desperately tries to get them to not call her that, but no one really cares what she wants. She is everyone's Chinu.
"Daaa... Ahaana. Aahu. Kuch bhi... just not Chinu." Shea cribs at Dada but he just laughs and walks away agreeing with her. We all know he's still calling her Chinu.
"The first person you called was Yug. I can't believe you!" Zia snaps at me. "What first person?" I ask puzzled. What were we talking about before this? Oh. The proposal.
"First person...? For what?" Advik says behind me, and I face palm. Not him, he's going to throw so many tantrums over this.
"I proposed to him last night and the first person to know about this was Yug. Can you believe him Bhai?" Ahaana points her finger at me. My eyes narrow into her. The little spoiled princess!
"You proposed to him? I thought he proposed to you." Oh. Wow. Guess who's now going under the bus. I stand up from my chair and beside my best friend.
"I did but she proposed before me. And you know who knew about her proposal out of all of us?" I make sure to get both Zia and Advik hooked to their throats. "Falak Khanna. She told Falak about this. Your Falak. The woman you love from the core of your being. And that woman didn't tell you anything, when she was the one helping her prepare for this since last four days. Falak helped her get the ring. Falak helped her with the decoration. And Falak didn't utter a word to you. Let's go Advik. Come on. Let's go and bully her!" Since this dramatic princess of mine has returned, something really bad went wrong with me. I am turning into such a drama queen. Is Hood right to call me princess? Am I the second princess after Shea and not Myra?
