Love Worth Arranging

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ-2

Advay was engaged in his morning workout. His face glistened with sweat, and his muscles flexed with each movement. His mother, stood behind him, grasping his ears firmly but tenderly.

"Advay, beta, you're overdoing it again!" she scolded, her voice laced with concern.

"You skipped dinner last night and are pushing yourself too hard. You need to take care of your body!" Advay growled, his face distorted from strain.

"Just five more, Mom," he panted.

"Fine, but then you're taking a break and eating a proper breakfast." She sighed and released his ears.

After his workout, Advay showered and got dressed.

As he walked downstairs to breakfast, his phone vibrated with a text from a friend in their friend's group chat.

"Dude, you all meet me at the coffee cafe at 5 pm." one of the friend's messages was there. 

He ignored the other talks his friends were having and added the thumbs-up emoji to the text.

At the table, his family was already settled waiting for him. Once he reached there he wished everyone with a bright charming smile. 

"Your dad and I have some exciting news to share," her mom said.

"What is it?" Advay asked curiously.

"As you returned from abroad just in time to take the reins. We will announce you as the new CEO of our company." his dad said with a proud smile.

"Yeah, and now we also decided to give you a big responsibility to select the winner of the fashion event," Vikram added.

"Really!!! What!! Wait you have already decided that's not fair" Advay exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. "By the way, I'm up for the task," he added his eyes sparkling confidently. 

"By the way, Advay, you know that Vedika is also participating in the event, right? Mehta uncle's daughter?" his dad said, turning to him with a knowing expression.

"No, I didn't know that! That's great!" Advay replied, his ears perking up with interest.

"Ohh wow, then Ritesh please invite Mehta's family as well." his mom exclaimed, her eyes shining with eagerness.

"I've personally invited her family to the event." his dad added 

"Oh, that's wonderful! It's been ages since we last met them," her mom, replied excitedly.

"We're all proud of you, Advay. You're going to make a fantastic CEO and fashion event judge." her mom said warmly.

Ritesh nodded in agreement. "And who knows, maybe you'll find inspiration for your future endeavours at the event."

"I'm counting on it." Advay grinned confidently.

Later, Advay swung his nephew, Aryan as they shrieked with laughter. Khushi smiled warmly sitting across them, her eyes shining with love.

"Advay, you're so good with them," she said, her voice filled with appreciation. "He adores you a lot."

Advay grinned, his eyes sparkling with delight. "I adore him too," he said, scooping Aryan in a big hug. 

His dad and Vikram were discussing the final arrangements for the fashion event, while Advay sat down on the sofa with Aryan sitting on his lap.

Khushi smiled at Akshay. "Look at him, Mumma. He's so natural with them."
