Nikshant's pov

When I looked towards the stairs, I couldn't take my eyes off them. A girl wearing a pink saree was coming down the stairs, her face obscured, but the sound of her anklets echoed throughout the hall. I couldn't move my gaze away from her even though I couldn't see her face. I could hear the beating of my own heart but I quickly averted my eyes from her.

What's gotten into you, Nikshant? How can you stare at any girl like that?

"She's not just any girl; she's your future wife," my inner voice said.

"But she's not mine yet," I replied.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked towards the girl.

"Aise maat ghuriye unko bhai" Aarav whispered into my ear.

(Don't stare at her like that, bro)

"Main aapne hone wali biwi ko dekh Raha hoon tujhe kya" I said but few seconds later, I  regret at  my words.

(I'm just looking at my future wife, what's it to you)

Ughh, Nikshant, control your tongue.

"Oh, brother, my future wife, hmm," Aarav teased me, and I glared at him.

"Waise Africa ke office mein kuch problem hai main socch raha hoon dev ki jagah tujhe wajah bhej doon" I said and the teasing smile on his face turned into nervous.

(By the way, there's some problem at the Africa office. I'm thinking of sending you there instead of Dev)

"Areh bhai kyun iss chhote se nanhe se jann ke picche pade ho" Aarav said with a hint of nervousness.

(Hey, why are you after this little guy)

"So, you've sealed your mouth shut," he said, putting his hand in front of his mouth and making a zipper-like gesture.

I shifted my focus to the girl who was sitting on the couch with grandma.

"What's your name, dear?" grandma asked.

"Aaravi Sachdeva," she said while looking down.

Nice name, just like her.

When Ahana and Aarav called her "bhabhi," her cheeks turned as red as cherries, and she lowered her gaze.

I smiled.

After grandma suggested that Aaravi and I should meet alone, I glanced at Aaravi, who still had her face down. I got up from the couch, and Aaravi also stood up and started walking ahead. I followed her, and she opened the door to a room and went inside. I followed her inside.

The room was light blue in color and beautifully decorated. She led me to the balcony, and as I looked around, I saw many flowers.

It was evident that she had a great fondness for flowers.

I sat down on a chair on the balcony.

I didn't know how to start the conversation.

All I wanted to say was that I didn't want to get married to her or anyone else.

Honestly, she looked so young.

There was an awkward silence here. Breaking the silence,

I asked, "What do you do?" because I wanted to know what she did.

But what she said next was unexpected for me.

"Mujhe yeh shaadi nahi karni please aap maana kar dijiye iss shaadi se"she said and rubbing her plams
