AUTHOR'S POV.

The whole mansion was adorned like a heaven existing on the earth. Everything was settle beforehand for their engagement. Invitations were already given from all the Roy's and Singh's family's business friends, colleagues to their close relatives and family friends. The mansion itself was decorated like a bride. Everyone were busy for the evening ceremony preparations. Prateek Roy, the head of the family was attending the calls of the relatives and guests. Kaushal Roy, his wife was busy in handling other preparations and checking the list of food items required and other checklist. Subash Roy, the eldest son of the family was strictly ordered to be with his wife, who was already 3 months pregnant. While other maids and servants were handling minion things. The whole mansion was no less than a hustle.

And Suvansh was just waiting for that one person who holds the potential to place this mansion at peace with her one glare. His head was bursting with ache since morning after witnessing the ran errand from one place to another. The kids of guests were not staying at one place while some of his aunts were busy gossiping about the topic, God knows what. He was already on his second pill of painkiller yet his headache nowhere near it's end. But that one person's name and it was like his body was charged with extreme energy.

"Suvansh, Can you go to pick up Dadi from the airport?" Subash his brother asked while descending down the stairs towards the lawn of the house, where Suvansh was standing having a conversation with his friends, who were already at the airport and he was almost on his way to pick them up.

"Okay!" He chimmed with jubilation of meeting his grandmother after a long time. Showing a sheepish smile with a huge grin, he turned on his heels running towards the exit, almost tripping on his way.

Amrita Roy, Suvansh's and Subash's grandmother and mother of Prateek Roy. She had always welcomed her grandson with love and serenity in her arms. Since the day they were born, she has prayed for their well being, especially for Suvansh because his birth condition was critical. Since his childhood he has an crucial and emotional attachment with his grandmother. His love for her has no limits. Amrita Roy has left no remission in pampering him. For her, he has always been very dear to her heart. She has been living in her hometown, which is in one of the small villages near Mathura since the day her son along with his family shifted to punjab. She kept visiting them time to time, sometimes Roy's used to pay her visit. Last time she visited when it Subash's wedding. And now it's her second and the dearest grandson's wedding. How could she miss such a climacteric wedding of her grandson. Her living alone in the village was a little concerning for Prateek but she convinced him saying that she won't be staying alone. Amrita Roy runs an orphanage there with other old-aged ladies. Prateek took the responsibility of paying funds for the orphanage and when both of his son started earning and got financially independent, this responsibility was kept on their shoulders. Whenever Suvansh and Subash used to visit their grandmother, they used to recheck the faculty and basic needs required for the orphanage.

Driving and crossing the flyover, he pulled the car in the parking lot of the airport and disembarked the car. Running through the group of people, mouthing sorry to the one he got almost tripped with, he reached the location which Subash told him about and coincidentally his friends were also standing at the same spot. Scanning in the rush of the strangers he tried finding them and-

“SUVANSH OYE” Suvansh's head snapped at the person this voice belonged to. A sigh of relief escaped him when he found all his friends standing at one corner of the outing of the airport. Grinning, he ran towards them again tripping because of someone's luggage but balanced himself before his face meets with the ground and stood in front of his friends, only to receive another shock.
