   *Singhania house*

Aditya's grandmother had been asking him the same thing over and over again ever since he had come down the stairs to join his family for breakfast.

She had been saying it for quite some time now, and it was clear that she wanted him to follow her and do the same.

“Marry her for me... Can't you do that for me? I won't be here very long. It would mean a lot to me if you could make this decision for me”

She implored, "At least meet her, then you can decide."

She had seen a girl for him and from the moment she saw her, she believed this girl would be the perfect companion for her grandson who she loved so much.

With a sigh of resignation, Aditya relented, "Ugh... okay, fine."

Since she got back from the hospital, his grandmother has not stopped talking about this girl.

Dadi would talk about this girl at every given opportunity. She would talk about this girl whenever and wherever she could.

“Goodbye, Maa, I am going to the office now”, said Aditya, as he gathered his things to go to work. He bid farewell to everyone around him, took blessings from his parents and grandparents and walked out of the house.

“Veer, come quick! ” he cried, standing at the threshold, waiting for his brother.

“Coming, bhai! ” Veer said, finishing his paratha and milk in a jiffy, and then he too joined Aditya.

They got into the car, and Aditya drove them to the office. Thirty minutes later, they reached the office. As Aditya walked in, his secretary told him that he had an important meeting with the foreign client at 10 AM. After looking at his schedule, Aditya quickly sent a message to his mother.

On Chat:

Aditya:
Please get her to meet me at the Imperial Restaurant at noon today.

Mom:
"Okay."

He locked the phone and switched on his laptop. Ten minutes later, Ragini, his secretary, called and said it was time for the meeting.

After 1½ hours:

“I hope we get to work together again sometime in the future”, said Aditya as he shook hands with the client.

"It would be my pleasure, Mr. Singhania," the client reciprocated.

“I will leave now, Mr. Williams. Have a good time in India. ” Aditya said this as he walked out of the conference room and went back to his office. He sat down on the couch in his office and began to study the files spread on his desk.

He heard a ping from his phone and looked at it. It was a text from his mom reminding him of the meeting.

"They cannot make me agree like this, ’ He said and quickly took his blazer from the couch, and stride purposefully towards the car in the parking lot.

He made his way up to the restaurant and found himself a place on the second floor. It was far out and secluded, giving him the privacy he needed to relax.

*At Taniya's residence*

"Come downstairs at once" said her aunt from the living room.

Startled, Taniya rushed down the stairs.

“You are going to meet him, and you must wear something decent; and do not do anything to disgrace us,” said her uncle in a stern tone.

She nodded. It had been a long time since she’d seen the old lady in the hospital, and now she was here, trying to figure out why that woman chose her for her grandson.
