The Gill family was having their lunch. The silence was comfortable. While Shubman looked at his parents who were busy in their food. He looked at his sister and she gestured him.

He shook his head and looked down. Shahneel facepalmed herself and kicked his leg from under the table. He jumped little and dropped his spoon in his plate a little bit loudly.

"What happened beta?" Mrs. Gill asked him. "Nothing!" Shubman said quickly and looked down.

Shahneel cleared her throat and said. "Mumma, Papa, Shubman wants to say something."

Shubman looked at her wide eyes. "Bol na puttar." His mother said.

"Um, woh, kh......khana.... Khana bohot achha bana hai aaj." Shubman said and gave awkward smile.

Shahneel glared at him and again kicked him and he again drop the spoon.

"Beta chammach to dhang se pakad le!" His father said sarcasticly.

"Yes Papa!" Shubman said sheepishly.

Shahneel glared at her brother. He shook his head.

Mr. Gill noticed everything and silently kept his spoon down. "Kya chal raha hai tum dono ka?" He asked.

Shubman looked at him and sighned. He took a deep breath and cleared his throat.

"Papa, I was thinking, me and Ananya should get engaged." Shubman mumbled.

Mrs. Gill suddenly dropped her spoon and looked at her son with wide grin. "Haye sachhi! Kab kar rahe ho engagement?" She asked with excitement.

"Mummy, I am just expressing my opinions about it. We have not discussed about it. Moreover, I have to ask, Arjun bhaiya first." Shubman said.

"Ha toh puchh le. Phir woh tum logo ka kya propose vagaira karlo. Phir hum uske grandparents se mil lenge!" Mrs. Gill was quite excited.

"Ha sahi hai!" His father nodded.

"Ok, then I will ask Arjun bhaiya today itself." Shubman said and quickly gulped down the last bite of his food and a whole glass of water, and ran upstairs.

"Dheere!" Mrs. Gill shouted behind him, but he was already in his room.

...

Arjun finished his last meeting of the day. He was sitting in his chair with eyes closed. As he was about to get up, the door opened and his PA entered.

"Sir, there is someone to meet you." He said.

Arjun did an annoyed face. "You said this was the last meeting!"

"Sir, that was really last meeting. But now I think it's personal here. Mr. Shubman Gill is here to meet you." His PA said.

Arjun frowned. Shubman could have visited him at home. "Send him in!" Arjun said. His PA went back.

A minute later, Shubman came in his cabin. "Hello Arjun bhaiya!" He greeted.

"Hey. Come sit!" Arjun said and gestured at the sofa set. Shubman sat on the chair and made himself comfortable.

"What will you take? Tea or coffee?" Arjun asked.

"No bhaiya. Thank you. Actually..."

"Oh yeah!" Arjun said suddenly. "You don't like tea or coffee!"

Shubman was quite surprised. "How did you know?" He asked.

"Ananya!" Arjun chuckled, followed by Shubman.

"So, what brought you here today?" Arjun asked. "Actually bhaiya, I am here for your permission." Shubman said.

"Permission? For what?" Arjun sat straight on the sofa.

"Bhaiya, I want to marry Ananya." Shubman said. He was scaring that Arjun might get angry or maybe would deny.

Arjun was calm. He sat straight and looked straight in front of him. He thought for a moment. Though he was scared of this moment, he knew he have to bare the sadness of his sister getting away from him. He knew that Ananya loves Shubman. And he was confirmed that Shubman loves her more than anything.

He knew his answer. Obviously he was happy. He was just shocked.

"Okay!" He said. Shubman looked at him with wide eyes. Did Arjun just said, 'okay'?

"Wait, w-what?" Shubman asked.

"Yes. You have my permission. Obviously I know how much you love my sister. I know she will be happy after marrying you. You are happiness." Arjun smiled at him.

Shubman finally smiled out. "Thank you bhaiya, thank you so much. I thought you would get angry!" Shubman chuckled.

Arjun laughed. "Er... About my behaviour, I am so sorry. I treated you very badly. Blamed you, threatened you, even punched you. I am so sorry for that." Arjun said seriously.

"Bhaiya, let go those things now. You had misunderstanding. But now I am happy that you are convinced." Shubman said.

"Well by the way, I want to propose Ananya. So please don't tell her anything about this!" Shubman pleaded.

"Don't worry! I won't." Arjun smiled.

"By tha way, Ananya had told me that you had love marriage? How did you proposed bhabhi?" Shubman asked.

Arjun bit his tongue and rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually, she was the one who proposed me. I was quite shy in our relationship. But she proposed me on the beach. That was best day of my life!" Arjun said dreamily.

Shubman smiled at him. Surely Arjun loved Divya so much.

"I never knew, you are the shy one." Shubman chuckled. Arjun chuckled too.

"Okay, so now I will take your leave now." Shubman said and stood up.

Arjun stood up too.

As Shubman forwarded his hand to shake, Arjun chuckled and pulled him for a hug.

"Best of luck!" He said. Shubman nodded, smilingly. He came back home with a huge smile.

...

"Susth Murge🐔" WhatsApp group was flooded with hundreds of messages of different ideas of proposing a girl.

And now currently the whole ICT was staring at eachother on the video call.

"Guys, suggest something!" Shubman mumbled. He had rested his chin in his palms.

"Arey yr itne toh idea diye! Aur kya chahiye tereko!" Rohit said while colouring a picture, Samaira had to submit in her school.

"Nahi bhaiya, woh ideas bohot boring hai! Koi naya wala suggest karo!" Shubman said while starting at the ceiling as he layed on his bed.

"Oi ruko mere pass ek idea hai!" Yuzi yelled suddenly.

"What?" Everyone asked.

"But it's mad!" He chuckled.

"So are we, Yuzi Bhai. Tell us!" Shubman said impatiently.

Yuzi told about his idea and surprisingly it was amazing.

"That's best idea!" Hardik said. Everyone agreed while some like Rohit and Virat were still shock that Yuzi is the one who came up with this idea.

"That's fantastic! Thank you Yuzi Bhai!" Shubman said.

'Just some days Ani, and I am coming to you!' Shubman thought.
