The car parked on the driveway, I am out of my thoughts when Chirag spoke. "Don't put on a drama infront of everyone. If anything goes wrong, I swear Kaveri,  I will end it all. Shivaay bhai is also coming you better keep your mouth shut" he said, handing me a tissue box. I wiped my face and somehow managed to force a smile.

Inside the house, preparations had already begun. We will be leaving to Udaipur today, where the mehendi and sangeet will take place. Tomorrow will be the haldi and then the wedding.

The moment I stepped inside, all eyes were on me. My parents rushed towards me, pulled me into a tight hug. "Finally, you're here" my mother said, her voice warm and filled with relief.
"Yes ma" I said not showing my emotions and chirag is observing my every move, I can feel his eyes on me.

I was about to head to my room when I heard a familiar voice. "Piku!" It is Karan. I had texted him when I left the villa. The moment Chirag spotted Karan, he stormed toward him, his face tight with anger. Before he could reach him, I rushed towards the door and stepped between them. He held his walk and looked at me when I held chirag's hand showing him my silent support. Dad arrived just in time towards us.

"What is he doing here?" Chirag demanded, pointing and glaring at Karan.

"I called him" I said firmly and his eyes narrowed "But why, beta?" Dad asked gently. I took a deep breath "Papa, you trust me, right?" I asked, meeting his gaze. "Bacche.." I cut him off and said "dad just say yes or no" I asked still holding Karan's hand because I know he is bit emotional and don't want any mess , especially because of him even when it is not his fault.

"Of course, baccha" he replied instantly.
"Then trust me papa Karan wasn't behind the missing charity money" I stated, and this all time Karan's warm gaze is on me. "Papa, I never say anything without proof. When the time is right, I'll reveal the whole truth."  I said glaring at chirag.

Before Chirag could argue, I added, "I want everyone to treat Karan like they used to. Please, Papa." Papa stood silent for a minute and chirag's grip on wall becoming tight. Papa looked at karan passed him a smile, placing his hand on Karan's shoulder. "Come here, Karan" papa said kindly. I knew my dad would do anything for me.

Karan had been a part of our lives for so long-since I was three years old. His family loved me like their own child, even though Karan wasn't his father's biological child, they treated him like own ones. I smiled at the thought of Karan being welcomed back, but then Chirag dragged me aside, his grip tight. "What the hell is that bastard doing here?" he shouted

"He's my brother" I said, holding his gaze. "Just because I'm getting married as you said it doesn't mean I'll agree with everything. Don't mess with my family, Chirag, or else I will handle things in different way"

As I turned to climb the stairs, I saw Karan staring at me, his eyes filled with concern. I stopped, feeling tears welling up again in my eyes and I lowered my gaze. Karan came closer and whispered, "Don't worry, he will come" his words brought a spark in my eyes buy how it will happen. " remeber one thing , many incidents will happen in such a way that you didn't even imagine, but still you will be only his" His words brought a flicker of hope, and I smiled despite myself.
