Avyansh entered the Rajvansh mansion and he found a girl wearing a blue anarkali suit and he knew she was none other than Hrida, his childhood friend whom he had not seen in years.
As he made his way towards Hrida's parents, memories of his childhood with Hrida came flooding back. They had been inseparable, always getting into mischief together. But as they grew older, life took them on different paths and they lost touch.
Avyansh respectfully touched Hrida's parents' feet, seeking their blessings. Then, with a heart full of anticipation, he turned to find Hrida. But she was nowhere to be seen. Confused, he approached Hrida's mother and asked her about Hrida's whereabouts. With a warm smile, she gestured towards the kitchen and said, "Beta, go to the kitchen. She must be there."
Following her directions, Avyansh entered the bustling kitchen. And there, facing the window with the sunlight dancing on her hair, stood Hrida. He couldn't help but stare at her in awe. But before he could gather his thoughts, a loud scream escaped his lips booooommmmmm...mmmm, causing Hrida to jump in surprise.
Turning around, Hrida saw Avyansh and relief washed over her face. Their eyes locked in a moment of recognition, the familiarity of their childhood friendship shining through. And then, with a playful glint in his eyes, Hrida remarked, "Tum bilkul nahi badle." (You haven't changed at all)
Avyansh couldn't help but smile at her words. "Tum bhi nahi badli," he replied, his heart racing at the sight of her after so many years. And then, with a teasing tone, he added, "Jitni height thi, utni hi hai." (The height is the same as it was)
"Don't make fun of my height." She said.
Avyansh chuckled at her remark, the easy banter of their friendship coming back effortlessly.
Hrida suddenly said, "Avyansh, we should get outside. Our parents are waiting for us downstairs." Avyansh looked at her and hummed in response and he followed her.
Avyansh's father looked up as they entered and exclaimed, "Hrida, you've grown up so much! You're so beautiful now." Hrida blushed at the compliment and replied, "Thank you uncle." Avyansh's father then turned to her and asked, "So Hrida, what are you doing in college beta?" Hrida smiled and replied, "I'm a first-year MBBS student, uncle."
Avyansh's eyes widened in shock as he looked at her. "Doctor banne wali Hrida tum!" he exclaimed. (You're going to become a doctor)
Everyone in the room chuckled at his reaction, causing Hrida to laugh softly. Avyansh couldn't believe that his childhood friend was going to be a doctor one day. It was a pleasant surprise for him, but also a bit unexpected.
As they sat down to chat with their parents, Hrida shared stories of her first year in college and the challenges she faced as a medical student. Avyansh listened intently, amazed at her determination and passion for medicine. He couldn't help but admire her for choosing such a noble profession.
The Rajwansh and Malhotra families were all gathered around a beautifully set lunch table in the Rajwansh's spacious dining room except Hrida and Avyansh they were having chit-chat as they met after so many years.
The conversation flowed easily between Mr. Malhotra and Mr. Rajwansh. They discussed the latest business deals, upcoming projects, and the current state of the stock market. But then, out of the blue, Mr. Malhotra turned to Mr. Rajwansh with a serious look on his face.
"I have been thinking, Mr. Rajwansh," Mr. Malhotra began, "I believe to make your daughter as my daughter-in-law. I think Avyansh would be the perfect match for her."
Mr. Rajwansh was taken aback by the sudden proposal. He paused for a moment, contemplating the idea. "But, Mr. Malhotra," he finally said, "both our children are still in the midst of their studies. Shouldn't we let them focus on their education before discussing such matters?"
Mr. Malhotra nodded thoughtfully, but his gaze remained fixed on Mr. Rajwansh. "I understand your concern, my friend. And I believe it is never too early to plan for the future. Avyansh is a fine young man, and I think he and your daughter would make a wonderful couple. What do you say?"
Mr. Rajwansh mulled over the proposal for a few more moments before finally giving his response. "I agree with you, Mr. Malhotra. Hrida is a smart, independent girl and Avyansh is a perfect match for her. I will be more than happy to send my daughter to your home as your daughter-in-law. We will make them married to each other after their completion of their studies"
The two men shook hands, sealing the deal with a firm grip and a knowing smile. The rest of the family members at the table looked on in surprise, but they could see the happiness and excitement in Mr. Malhotra and Mr. Rajwansh's eyes.
Then Hrida and Avyansh both came towards the dinning table then Mr. Malhotra said, "Hrida, we are sending Avyansh to New York for his higher studies," Mr. Malhotra began.
"So we are thinking that you guys should meet more often. Because he will be gone for at least five years, and I think you're going to miss him again."
Hrida's heart sank at the news. She had just started to reconnect with Avyansh, and now he was leaving again. She tried to smile, nodding in agreement with Mr. Malhotra's suggestion. Deep down, she knew she would miss Avyansh. They already met after so many years now he's going again.
Avyansh and his family made their way back to their home. "Hrida, I'm hosting a party this Saturday. Can you come?" Avyansh asked.
Hrida looked towards her father, who gave her a nod of approval. She turned back to Avyansh with a smile and replied, "Yes, I'd love to come!"
