In the city of Jabalpur, a house is full of chaos and bustling amid the wedding preparation of the eldest daughter of Sharmas.

The house is decorated beautifully with flowers and lights with a big banner outside mentioning- Sonali weds Raghav.

"Omg Abhishek you didn't fixed the light in the backyard yet? How are we going to manage everything? Aaj engagement hai tumhari dii ki." Suraj Sharma exclaimed at his nephew.

"I'll fix it right now chacha ji, don't worry. You just check if Piya's train arrived or not." Abhishek replied collecting the lights.

Suraj was about to say something but a voice interrupted him "NO need to check because train and your lovely Piya, both have arrived already Papa."

Abhishek and Suraj turned to only see a very energetic and smiling Piya standing there holding her many luggage in a t-shirt and cargo pants. She left her luggage and run to hug her father who embraced her affectionately.

"Aakhir time mil gaya aapko maharani ji." A voice cut off their sweet intraction. "Are Badi ma why are getting grumpy. You're gonna be old soon in this way but don't worry as now I'm here, I'll save you ." Piya playfully skipped toward Shraddha engulfing her into a hug.

"Buddhi hogi teri ma and how am I not supposed to be angry. This is your sister's wedding and you are here on her engagement day. Shouldn't you be here before and accompany your sister in her shopping." Shraddha replied feigning anger.

Piya sulked and said pouting" You know na I has my final exams which just ended yesterday and I am here today."

Shraddha finally smiled at sulking baby and said "ok ok now go and get ready quickly. Your soon-to-be jiju's family will be here any time." Piya smiled and skipped inside asking "Where is ma?"
"In the Kitchen" Shraddha replied smiling and shaking her head.

Reema was working in the kitchen, checking everything to be served when she felt small hands circling around her from behind. She smiled and said " Aa gai?" "Ha ma " Piya replied. "How's the exams?" She inquired. "They were fine ma and I'm gonna be topper as always " Piya answered confidently.

"Ha ha we know that my sparrow. Now come here give me a hug and go get ready quickly." Shalini quicker entering the kitchen opening her arms for a hug from her sparrow. "I missed you gorgeous lady." Piya said kissing her cheeks.

"Aww my baby I know" Shalini said affectionately." OK now go check on your sister too and come outside." She instructed her.

Piya POV

I moved upstairs only to get bumped on a electric pole which happen to be my brother. I don't know how did he became this huge.

"Can't you see miss tubelight. Where are your spectacles?" Nikhil said making me annoyed on this potato bag.

"Didn't you checked your pocket?? I'm sure they must be there Motu." I replied sassily but that donkey just pulled my hair and ran away. I will see him later rn I have to get ready quickly as I am the only one in the family who is looking more like a begger.

I went toward Sonali di's room. I found her sitting in front of mirror with a  stylist making her hair. She looked at me smile " You came finally" di asked me.

"Yes why wouldn't I after all it's my Dii's wedding.  BTW you're looking awesome I'm sure your soon-to-be-husband is going to faint after seeing you" I replied excitedly.

But her smile slowly flattered although she tried to cover it up with another smile but that didn't reached to her eyes. This made me worried, didn't they asked he consent before fixing the marriage?

I reached to her and questioned " Dii are you happy with this marriage? Is something wrong?? "

She looked taken back but said " Yeah everything is ok don't worry." " Are you sure?" I asked still not believing her.

"Are baba I'm sure, now you just go and get ready they'll be here anytime." Sonali di replied.

"Ok ok I'm going why everyone is just saying me get ready like i take hours for it." I sulked and moved toward my room hearing a chuckle from di.

I took a relaxing bath and get ready in a simple lehenga and some jewellery. It took me 45min ..I mean common it takes at least this much time for an engagement party.

A knock in the door happen followed by Nikhil's voice " Teri Shadi nahi hai

A knock in the door happen followed by Nikhil's voice " Teri Shadi nahi hai. Come downstairs quickly they have arrived. "

" Bhag jaa" I said annoyingly and he went from there laughing.

I collected my purse and phone and moved downstairs quickly. I saw my family and my soon-to-be jiju's family gathered there and there were just some more people as engagement was really private.

"This is our younger daughter Piya." My papa introduced me to other family and I touched feet of elder couple who are maybe parents of jiju.

" Stay blessed beta. Your daughter is really pretty Reema." Aunty ji said to my mother smiling at me and I blushed at the comment.

" Where is my soon-to-be jiju?" I whispered to my papa. Maybe other people heard as they laughed a little and Uncle said looking at me " Your soon-to-be jiju is engaged in his phone calls even today. I don't know what to do with this boy." He sighed at the end.

At the exact time a 6ft tall man with broad sholders and lean waist entered in the hall. His dark brown eyes met mine which somehow made me intimidated. He is a gorgeous man with wheat skin tone, clean shaved defined facial feature and a moustache completing his masculine aura.

"Damm! Di is really lucky." I giggled in my mind..
