Pranav's pov
When I reached home, I saw Everyone was present in the living room discussing something. Their expressions seemed serious. "What's going on?" I went beside Maa and asked. Everyone's eyes on me now i know this "whatever serious thing" is related to me.
"What happened Maa?" I asked her.
"Aditi's in laws came" she told.
"Hmm..so?" I said
"With Tia" she added.This time Aarav said " they've placed a condition that only when aditi and rajat marriage will take place if you marry tia"
Marry her, So this was her way she was talking about. I thought.
"I'll talk to her. They won't do anything." I said calmly.
"No..they said if you deny..the marriage won't happen" Chachi said being serious."You don't have to worry. I'll take care of it" i assured her.
"I think you should accept the proposal. You know tia very well. And she's a nice match for you as well" Mr. Malhotra said.
"You don't have to worry about any of my things. I am capable of handling my things on my own" i said to him.
"Kuch bhi karo..but My daughter happiness should not get sacrificed in this." Chachu said.
"Don't worry. She's my sister too. I also care about her. By the way where is she?" I looked for aditi.
"She's in her room." Aarav answered.
"Call her" i told him."Pranav, if you care about her then promise me if there's no way to deal with this situation, you'll marry tia." Chachu looked at me and said.
I remained silent. "This family has done a lot for you. It's the time you should do something for us." He added
"For me, My daughter's happiness is very precious. She loves Rajat and wants to marry him. Nothing is more important for me than what she wants."
He opened his mouth to continue but Aditi came with janvi so he stopped himself.
I went to her, caressed her head and said "you don't have to worry about anything. Your brother is here. I won't let you cry. Hmm?". Then she hugged me.

I stood in the kitchen, surrounded by mixing bowls and flour-dusted countertops. Baking a cake for Aditi to cheer her up.
Difficult for me, but I'm determined.As i I cracked eggs into the bowl, took the flour and started to mix it.
Just then Janvi walked in, her curious gaze scanning the messy kitchen."What's all the chaos?" she asked looking around.
"Baking a cake for Aditi." I continued my work.
Her eyebrows shot up. "You're baking?" Her voice was laced with teasing.
