Abhishek's pov

Early morning in my house.

I woke up early today because mom said someone was coming. I took a bath and started getting ready. I was wearing my white shirt when I heard some noises from downstairs.

It seems as if who was supposed to come has arrived. I should also hurry up and get ready quickly or else if I am even a little late, my mother will kill me.

I wore my shirt and buckle my belt and after wearing my gold watch I was completely ready. I looked at myself in the mirror for the last time before leaving my room.

I was halfway up the stairs when I heard mom calling me. "Abhishek!" she shouted loudly as if I was deaf.

"I am here mom" I said and went downstairs. I saw that every member of my family was present there. My brother, chacha ji, Chachi ji, dad, mom and dada ji. All the servants were running here and there with something in their hands.

I saw some unknown people in the living room. Lots of food was served in front of them and Dadaji, dad and Chachaji were sitting with them and Mom and Chachi were standing beside them.

My brother was sitting on the other couch like a statue. They looks shocked and scared for some reason and I don't know what that reason is. But I know one thing, whatever the reason is, it's going to be revealed soon.

When mom saw me she stood up and came towards me. She grabbed my arms and pushed me towards a sofa where a girl was already sitting with her head bowed down.

She made me sit on the sofa with that girl. I was looking at her with confused eyes. I looked at my brothers and parents for help but they turned their faces away.

"So this is my son Bhai Shahab, Abhishek." Mom said introducing me to him. Now I am confused as to what is going on.

"Who doesn't know him, Aarti behanji. After all he is very famous." That unknown uncle said praising me.

"There is nothing like that Sunil ji, it is just a symbol of my Abhishek's hard work and God's blessings that he became so successful." Dad also praised me.

What has happened to everyone today that they are praising me so much. I can smell something is wrong here.

I looked at my brothers and then at my Chachi ji. She looked tense and worried for some reason. What happened to her? Why is she looking at me like that?

"That is my daughter Sonal. She is a software engineer and works in our company. She also knows all the household chores," Sunil uncle said praising his daughter.

"Your daughter is very beautiful, Sunil" this time Dada ji said.

"We would like to tell you that if she wishes, she can continue her work even after marriage. We have no complaint about it. She is talented and it is her right to showcase her talent," said Chachaji with a warm smile.

Marriage? Who is getting married here? I thought looking at the girl who was sitting next to me with a shy expression on her face.

"Sonal beta? Do you have any questions regarding Abhishek that you want to ask? If you have then you can ask without any hesitation." Mom told the girl which made her blush more.
