The conference room was silent. Everyone was waiting for only one nod from the person who was sitting on the chair middle of the room playing with his fingers.
The person beside him understood from his facial expressions that he wasn't okay with the deal. So, he stood up and thought to say what they were waiting to hear.
"Our company won't invest in this project. The meeting ends here"
He said and everyone started going from there nodding their heads some with anger, some with jealousy and some with disappointment.
"Bhai"
The man none other than Aryaman Shekhawat, the most pampered person in the Shekhawat family tried to gain the attention of his elder brother whom he loved and always worshipped.
"I guess, we have to be more careful. This is the third time when you rejected the proposal. With the eyes Vanraj Chouhan was looking at you, I'm sure he is planning something big"
The younger one talked about his worry.
"Let him"
The man none other than, Devadriptya Shekhawat, the eldest and most responsible child of the Shekhawat family concluded just with one line and got up from the chair.
Aryamaan glanced at his elder brother who was leaving the room.
"Bhai, I wanted you to meet with someone"
Devadriptya nodded a little and again proceeded but he was stopped again.
"It's not about any clients or anything. It is about my life. I love someone"
Aryamaan waited for any response. So, that he could further proceed and show his love to everyone in his family.
"I can't do anything about that, Arya. It will be everyone's decision. You know that right?"
Devadriptya added giving no particular expression on his features.
"But still, if you can mend Dadi, it'll be easier for me. She will never say no to you"
"Hmm"
He hummed thinking for some time.
"Bring her tomorrow at the function"
"Thank you, Bhai"
Aryamaan smiled at his elder one and they both left for their mansion.

As soon as they entered the mansion, they saw everyone was sitting in the hall talking about the preparations.
"Dev, your in-laws are here"
Gauri informed his son as he nodded his head. He went towards his room to change and then join everyone.
Devadriptya removed his blazer and let it fall on the couch. He pulled the knot of the tie when two arms came from behind wrapping around his waist. With that a person hugged him and placed her head on his back with the brightest smile. He didn't make any movements and stayed in the same position letting the person hug him.
