Next day

AUTHOR'S POV

Jeia woke up a little earlier than usual. Deciding to make the most of her extra time, She turned on some loud Bollywood music, filling the room with lively rhythms and vibrant melodies.

She took a nice warm shower and headed to her closet. Today, she wanted a change from her usual jeans and top combination. She scanned her options and finally selected a beautiful yet simple pink kurti. Pairing it with her favorite baggy jeans and sneakers, she achieved a look that was both casual and charming.

Despite her love for makeup, Jeia was still learning how to apply it properly.Despite being a beginner, she selected a few products and began her routine
She got ready and As she walked downstairs for breakfast, she tied her hair into a loose, casual bun.


Vihaan was already seated at the dining table when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Looking up, he saw Jeia and was instantly captivated.

She wasn't wearing anything particularly flashy, just a simple kurti, yet she looked stunning. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He noticed the subtle makeup she wore: the pink blush on her cheeks, the thin eyeliner, and the kajal accentuating her beautiful dark brown eyes. Followed by the tinted lip balm. A small black bindi added a traditional touch to her look. Her silver earrings and bangles complemented her outfit perfectly. His heart began to race.

Jeia's outfit

"Mr Singhania aap sun rahe hai mein kya keh rahi hu?(Mr. Singhania, are you listening to what I'm saying?), Mr Singhania?",Jeia's voice broke through his reverie. She waved a hand in front of his face to get his attention

"Hello, Earth to Mr. Singhania?"

Vihaan snapped back to reality and looked at her with questioning eyes.

"Do baar pucha Maine aapse ki dadi, Pari aur wo Aarav kaha hai?"

(I asked you twice where Grandma, Pari, and Aarav are.) she asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and mild impatience.

"They must be coming," Vihaan replied, his voice slightly strained.

"Oh, that means I am early. Wow, great! By the way, good morning," she said, flashing an irresistible smile that made Vihaan's heart skip a beat.

"Morning," Vihaan replied curtly, looking down in an attempt to calm his racing heart. He couldn't quite understand what was happening to him.

As he sat there, trying to regain his composure, he couldn't help but steal another glance at Jeia.

Soon, the rest of the family joined them at the table. "Good morning!" they greeted each other warmly.

"Wow, Jeia, you are looking extra pretty today," Pari said, making Jeia blush.

"Thanks, Pari. I just got up early today and thought of getting ready properly," Jeia replied modestly.

Pari grinned mischievously. "Oh, I see. I thought you had a date today.

"Aarav burst out laughing at this. "Iss chipkali ko kaun date par le jaayega?" he teased, still laughing.
("Who will take this lizard on a date?")

Pari smacked his arm, while Jeia shot him a glare.

"Aur tum jiski saadi hui kaddu si shakal hai uska kya?" Jeia retorted, her eyes flashing with mock anger.

(And what about you whose face is like rotten pumpkin)

Their bickering continued, growing louder and more animated, until Vihaan, irritated by the noise, smashed his palm on the table. The sudden sound silenced Aarav instantly, knowing his brother's temper too well.Jeia fell silent too, casting a wary glance at Vihaan.

JEIA'S POV

As we were having breakfast, a guard approached the table and said, "Sir, Kapoor ma'am is here."

"Okay, call her in and you may go now," Mr. Singhania replied.

I couldn't help but wonder who this Ms. Kapoor was.

A woman walked in, exuding elegance in her Chanel dress, which I recognized from television. Her expensive Gucci bag and YSL heels added to her stunning and sophisticated appearance.

She first approached Grandma and hugged her warmly. "Dadi, kaise hain aap?" she asked in her sweet, angelic voice.
(How are you grandma)

"Beta,(child) I am wonderful. How are you?" Grandma responded lovingly.

"I'm fine too," the lady replied with a radiant smile.

She then turned to Pari and Aarav, who were sitting beside Grandma, greeting them with the same warmth. Both Pari and Aarav seemed overjoyed to see her.

Next, she approached Mr. Singhania. She bent down giving him a hug,his expression never changing. She kissed him on the cheek. I was taken aback, wondering how this typically aloof man would allow such familiarity.

"How are you, baby?" the lady asked Mr. Singhania, her voice soft and affectionate.

"I'm fine, Sasha," he replied, his expression unfazed and calm. "How was your trip to Hawaii?"

"It was wonderful. The beaches were stunning, and the sunsets were breathtaking."

"Baby?" I thought Doubtfully. This guy is anything but a baby. Wait, did she just call him baby? So, he has a girlfriend? My mind raced with curiosity and surprise.

"Jeia beta, meet her. She is Sasha, Sasha Kapoor, Vihaan's fiancée," Grandma said, directing my attention towards her.

"Hello, pretty," Sasha said smiling,extending her hand for a handshake.

"Hello, Sasha," I replied, smiling.

As I shook her hand, I couldn't help but admire her beauty and warmth. "God, this woman is so pretty and kind," I thought to myself, feeling a pang of surprise at how such a considerate person ended up with someone as seemingly cold as Mr Singhania.
