Avantika's Pov

As the golden rays of dawn peeked through the blinds, I stirred from my slumber. The air was filled with a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation, for this was the morning of my parents' 25th wedding anniversary.

On freshening up, I reached downstairs. My home was a symphony of colors and aromas. The staircase leading to the living room was adorned with garlands of fresh flowers, their fragrance permeating the air. The living room itself was transformed into a garden of Eden, with potted plants and blooming bouquets creating an oasis of beauty.

"Happy anniversary" I shouted, running towards Bdi Mummy and Bde papa taking both of them in a long hug.

But as I realised about my in laws, releasing from the hug I peeked around through side eyes but got startled when I heard a whisper near my ears "They went"

"Karan" I whined who laughed at me and I hit his arm but then thinned my eyebrows asking him "What did you say?"

He plopped down on the bean bag, munching apple "They went to their villa and will reach directly in the evening"

I too plopped down on the couch "Oh but where are rest of the people"

"Yashi and Omaya went to the market, Ahaan and Vihaan went to receive your Bua dadi" 

The moment Bua Dadi's name left his mouth and I slipped down the couch looking at him with wide eyes "Bua Dadi" I murmured.

He laughed and nodded with sympathetic look. I searched for my phone and dialled Yash's number. She picked it up in few rings.

"Bua Dadi is coming, reach home as soon as possible" I said to her and without waiting disconnected the call.

I, then looked at Karan who was still munching on his apple. "You" I pointed my finger at him "Get up and get ready, if she sees you like this" Pointing at his clothes I continued "In your half pants, the rest of your respect will also loose"

"Right" He muttered and left from there keeping his half eaten apple in my hand which I threw in the dustbin and searched for rest of the people.

It was an hour almost, we three sisters rearranged the whole kitchen. The thing Bua Dadi hate the most was ill managed kitchen and today none of us was in the mood to hear her scolding for that.

I quickly went to take a shower. Just when I came out of the bathroom, my phone rang and I guessed who it might be.

'Amor'

Everytime this name flashed on my screen, an undefined feeling crept inside me. There was no specific reason to save his number with this name but I changed it in the hospital unknown to anybody.

I picked his call and heard a heavy sigh "What took you so long sweetheart" His voice was cranky.

I smiled and replied "I was in the shower, say what happened"

"Nothing happened, I couldn't meet you before leaving because you were sleeping, you didn't see my text too so I called you"

"Oh, I didn't get the time" I kept the towel on the bed and sat in front of the dressing table putting the call on speaker "There's a trouble coming over so we were preparing for that" I completed.
