A Promise Of FOREVER

Chapter-3

The countdown to Aadhya and Ashvik's wedding had begun, and the excitement was palpable. The Rajvansh and Kapoor families were all set to travel together to Udaipur, a city steeped in romance and beauty.

They have decided to travel via bus. Actually the main reason was Ashika she always wanted a long road trip. This was the best time as Aadhya also supported her and no one wanted to deny their daughter's wish.

At first Ashvik was reluctant but at last he has to agree. Afterall how can he say no to Aadhya and ofcourse his sweet, little trouble maker-Ashika. He loves Ashika the most among all his siblings and everyone in the family knows this.

Ashvik has agreed for bus but he said that he will look after all the arrangements and no one objected because they knew he will not listen to anyone.

He has arranged an luxurious Air conditioned bus.

Soon the bus was filled with laughter, chatter and excitement. No one can say that they are of two different families. They were sharing such a friendly environment that there was no awkwardness between them.

Kunal's voice echoed through the bus as he announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time to unleash your hidden talents! We're going to play a game called 'Sing Your Heart Out'! We'll divide the bus into groups, and each group will get a letter. They have to think of a song that starts with that letter and sing it together!"

The bus was buzzing with excitement as Kunal divided the passengers into groups.

Group-1 which was named as Team Bride, had, Pratap(Ashvik's dadu), Gayatri(Aadhya's Dadi), Harsh(Aadhya's Father), Devyani(Ashvik's Mother), Rajendra (Ashvik's uncle), Kartik and Saanvi (Aadhya's Friend), Yuvan(Ashvik's Friend), Ashika(Ashvik's Sister), Kunal(Ashvik's Brother) and Aadhya.

Group-2 which was Team Groom had, Pratibha(Ashvik's Dadi), Rishiraj(Aadhya's Dadu), Malini(Aadhya's mother), Devendra(Ashvik's Father), Rashmi(Ashvik's aunt), Parth(Aadhya's Friend), Vedant and Avani(Ashvik's Friend), Aadish(Aadhya's Brother) and Ashvik.

They got divided according to their teams, On one side there was team Bride and on the Other side Team Groom. This time Ashika's voice buzzed in the bus, "So the rules are simple, I will give the first letter to Team Bride and they have to sing a song and the letter on which the song ends the other team will sing from that letter. You will have 20 seconds if you'll fail to sing a song in 20 seconds than the other team will win." Everyone cheered up, she continued, "Okay so first word for team Bride is 'M'. So let's start!"

The group huddled together, whispering and discussing. Suddenly, Pratap exclaimed, "I've got it" every head turned to him. He forwarded his hand. Kunal gave him the mic and looked at Pratibha and started, "Main koi aisa geet gaaun, ke Aarzoo Jagau" Dadi's face turns pink, and she can't help but smile. She looks away, trying to hide her blush, but Dadu notices and teases her playfully. He knew that its her favorite song.

He continued singing, voice filled with emotions,
"Main koi aisa geet gaaun ki aarzo jagaaun?Agar tum kaho.
Tumko bulaun ki palke bichaun?
Kadam tum jahan-jahan rakho
Zameen ko aasman banaun
Sitaaron se sajaun
Agar tum kaho"

Pratibha's blush deepens, and she starts to giggle.

The atmosphere filled with love and nostalgia as they both reminisce about their younger days. The song becomes a special moment for them, a reminder of their enduring love.

As Pratap finishes the song, Pratibha applauds, still blushing, and says, "You're still a charming singer!" Pratap smiles, his eyes twinkling with happiness, and replies, "Only for you, my love!" A loud hooting was heard as Pratap mentioned these lines.
