Boy's POV:

As we discussed the proposal, we decided it was the right moment to approach Fiza and Anaya while Rhea was occupied with her bath. 

Unsure how to interrupt their conversation, the three of us called out to them and explained our plan. 

Anaya eagerly exclaimed, "I'm in!" But I hesitated, uncertain about the whole situation. 

Adi asked me, "What's wrong, Fiza? Are you in or not?" 

After a moment of contemplation, I replied, "I am, but before that, you need to reveal your daughter's mystery and reassure us." 

Adi nodded earnestly, "Yes, I will. Before proposing to her, I'll confess everything and clear the air. Don't worry, I'll take care of your best friend even better than you do." I warned him, "You better, or you know what's coming." 

Haris chimed in with reassurance, "Don't worry, Fiza. Once you hear his daughter's story, you'll be the one encouraging Rhea to marry him." 

Raghav interrupted, "Okay, but when do we leave? And what about your workers, Fiza?" I waved off his concerns, "Don't worry about the workers. They'll leave after some time. Let them enjoy exploring Delhi." 

Raghav nodded in agreement, "Okay. But when should we depart?" 

Anaya suggested excitedly, "Why not tomorrow? I'm so excited!" I agreed, patting her head gently, "Sure, let's leave tomorrow then. Car or plane, Raghav?" Raghav glanced at Adi and Haris, who both replied in unison, "Car." 

"Okay, then everything is set," Raghav concluded. Just then, we heard Rhea approaching, and I quickly said, "Looks like Rhea's here. We'll talk more tomorrow. Anaya and I will prepare something." The boys nodded in agreement, "Okay," and they left to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, we contacted our friend to ensure everything was set and that preparations were made accordingly. Haris texted Anaya and me to confirm that everything was in place.

Anaya and I were deep in discussion when Rhea joined us, asking what was going on. I gave Anaya a look, signaling her to stay quiet and let me handle it. I replied to Rhea, "Tomorrow, we've planned a trip outside. First, some shopping for the three of us, and then we'll head to Agra."

Rhea, excitedly, asked, "Agra? Don't tell me we're going there for videos!" I chuckled and said, "Haha, you guessed it right. Remember how we always say that?" Rhea exclaimed, "Oh, Fiza, I'm so excited!"

Anaya jumped in, "But dii, which dresses should we buy?" I replied with a mischievous smile, "Ball gowns, meri jaan. And Rhea's dream of a white ball gown at the Taj Mahal."

Anaya replied enthusiastically, "Really, Rhea di? You've always wanted that!" Rhea grinned, "Yes, my Anu!" Anaya then added, "Wow, so cool! So, dii, what colors are we wearing?"

I thought quickly and said, "I'll wear black." Anaya added, "And I'll wear red!" We said this to divert Rhea's suspicions, but secretly, we had already packed simple dresses for ourselves.

Anaya and I assured Rhea, "We've already packed our bags." Rhea was surprised, "So fast?" Anaya nodded, "Yes, dii, we're quick like that."

We then headed to the dining area for dinner, where the boys were already waiting. We joined them, had our meal, and went to sleep, eagerly anticipating the next morning.

Aditya went to his daughter Aria's room, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. He needed her permission for what he was planning to do tomorrow. With a gentle smile, he approached her and said, "Aru, Papa needs your permission for something."

Aria looked up at him with curiosity. "What permission, Papa?"

Adi sat beside her, taking her tiny hands in his. "You know Rhea, right? The nice didi?"

Aria's face lit up. "Yes, she's really nice!"

Adi chuckled, feeling a sense of relief. "Well, I want to make her your mumma. I want to marry her. But I need your permission first."

Aria's eyes widened with joy. "Really, Papa? If I get a mumma, our family will be complete, right?"

He nodded, his heart swelling with love for his little girl. "Yes, beta. Tomorrow morning, we are going to Agra, and there, I will propose to her to be your mumma. Is that okay with you?"

Aria's happiness was infectious. "Okay, Papa! I'm so happy! I want to propose her too!"

Adi chuckled again, filled with pride and love. "Alright, my little Aru. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Papa," Aria replied, snuggling closer to him.

"Now, get some sleep, my jaan. We have a big day tomorrow," he said, patting her gently and telling her a bedtime story.

As Aria drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the wonderful day ahead, Aditya felt a wave of contentment wash over him. He too fell asleep, filled with hope and anticipation for the beautiful moment he was about to create for his daughter and their soon-to-be complete family.

The next morning, everyone was ready to leave for Agra. The bags were packed, and everything was set. Adi approached Haris and said, "Haris, I don't want Aria to hear the story I'm going to tell Rhea. Please make sure she doesn't listen."

Haris nodded confidently. "Don't worry, Adi. She won't hear anything. I promise."

Just then, Aria came running, calling out, "Papa!" Adi picked her up and asked, "Yes, meri jaan, what happened?"

Aria replied, "Nothing, Papa. Where's Rhea mumma?"

Adi smiled and whispered, "Shh, beta. This is a surprise for Rhea mumma, so don't call her mumma just yet, okay?"

Aria nodded, "Okay, Papa."

Meanwhile, Rhea, Fiza, and Anaya joined them, ready to leave. Aria asked Adi to put her down and ran to hug Rhea. Rhea bent down and said, "Aww, Aru, you want to stay with me?"

Aria looked at Adi, then back at Rhea, and smiled. "Yes!"

Rhea laughed and replied, "Okay, Aru."

Raghav was waiting with his most expensive luxury car, ready for the trip. They all got in with their bags, and as they traveled, they enjoyed the music, singing along loudly and teasing each other, creating a joyful and lively atmosphere. The anticipation and excitement for the day ahead filled the car as they headed towards Agra.
