'THE MEETING'

KASHISH'S POV

It was 40 past 11 right now and so far my morning was good. I started to get ready before someone blasts on me for not doing so.

I decided to go for a full length, anarkali suit which was of a mixture of red, orange and brown color. It was like a shade of coke and it is so pretty like so much.

I put the dress on.
Set my hair in soft curls.
Applied some lip tint and kajal on my lower and upper lash line.
Wore my earrings, the universal beauty: Jhumke

And i was ready. It was 12:40 pm now. Thank god i passed this time because i didn't want to wait for them and overthink. Now all i had to do was go and help my mother who must have been done with the work till now.

I went down, sheepishly waved at my mother while smiling. She shook her head but later smiled looking at me from head to toe.

"If it was another time i would have teased you lekin aaj sach mein pyaari lag rhi h." Bhaiya's voice reached my ears and soon i was engulfed in a headlock from behind. The Brothers.

"Leave me!"
"Nope!"

"Arey yeh kya kar rhe ho dono, koi seriousness hi ni h-" Our mother said meanwhile the loud voice of my father reached us for the living room.

"AREY RUPALI, SAB AA GYE HAIN!!"

The chaos in this house i tell you..
But. WOH LOG AA GYE HAIN! AAAHHHHHH!

Okay calm down.

I was roaming to and fro thinking about when i have to face them and just then my mother came to call me. She took the tea and i took the snacks following her till the living room.

As soon as i reached with my eyes moving to and fro from them to the ground, i wished all of them and touched their feet.

My breath hitched seeing him sitting on the sofa opposite to his family with a guy, a really happy looking guy.

My father was seated beside them and i could see my brother there too having a conversation with them. I served the tea to elders first and finally reached to the guys in this room, and seeing him sitting silent while my brother and that another guy, i think his brother, talked. I slowly approached him and offered him the cup. He gently amd carefully took the cup from my hands and muttered a thank you. I couldn't even look into his eyes for more than 4 seconds as he looked down zoning out again.

I sat between his and my mother and played with my fingers.

"So here she is. My only daughter. Kashish naam h iska..." My father introduced me while i come up with a friendly and sweet, small smile on my face.

His mother talked to me, trying to get me comfortable i guess and i think, i was.

"Tell us something about yourself beta.." What should i say. Okay alright.

"Ji mujhe IT mein hamesha se bohot interest rha h and i pursued the same for my studies. Mujhe painting karna accha lagta h and i like to try cooking new dishes... there is not very much to know about me but whatever the decision about this marriage i take i will try to give my best." I took a breath of relief as i think i did pretty well.
