Yuvi pushed open the door to see Rohit and Virat sitting quitely as Anushka and Ritika sat besides them.

"Why are you guys sitting like someone died?" Yuvi asked, startling the four of them.

A broad grin spread across Ritika's face as she immediately rushed to hug Yuvi.

"I missed you Yuvi pa!" She said hugging him and Yuvi patted her head adoringly.

"I missed you too baccha." He said as he had genuinely missed his sister.

"Now now I heard someone is suffering from the same thing I suffered years back." Yuvi said when Ritika pulled away.

"It has been a headache." Ritika blurted out truthfully and Anushka barely suppressed her laughter.

Yuvi looked at Anushka and Ritika and they nodded, understanding the unspoken request, "We'll be out with the kids." Anushka said as both of them left.

Virat and Rohit were still sitting in silence, so he pulled a chair and sat in front of them.

"You know once I had beat up this one guy who was trying to be creepy with Ritsy." Yuvi said and that made Virat and Rohit look up.

"I don't know?" Rohit said and Virat nodded, "No one told us." He added.

"Yeah we don't talk about that, because Ritsy was truly scared at that time." Yuvi said, quitely.

"And even when I knew you Ro, I was still worried for my sister." He added.

Rohit nodded, "Yes I remember how you did not talk to both me and Ritsy."

"Yes but then I realised that you were right for her and I trusted you, now look where that has gotten us." Yuvi said his smile radiating the warmth.

"Cheeku you also think of Ritsy like a sister like?" Yuvi asked and Virat nodded.

"But then also you were ok with  Ritsy and Ro's relationship, why? Because you knew they'd be fine." Yuvi said, Rohit and Virat nodded in understanding.

"Hmm tell me do you guys trust Yashu and Sia?" Yuvi asked and there were immediate affirmations.

"Obviously, they are our kids." Rohit said firmly.

"Exactly, I am not telling you guys that you have to get them hitched tomorrow. I am telling you guys to give them a chance." Yuvi said, trying to make them understand.

"But bhai what if it doesn't work out?" Rohit said his worst fear out loud.

"But Ro what if it does? I am not trying to compare you with Yashu but I had the same fear but I decided to give you and Ritsy a chance right?" Yuvi said, uncharteristically patient.

"She's almost like my kid." Rohit mumbled.

"So is Yashu, Ro." Virat said, now seeing the brighter picture finally.

"Yeah no, that sounds way worse now." Rohit said sarcastically.

Yuvi shook his head at these two and remembered how Jammy and Dada had talked to him and Mahi the same way.

"So what do we think?" Yuvi asked, interrupting the banter before it started.

"I personally feel like, by the way I saw them out there, they love each other too much to fall out ever severely." Yuvi added.

Virat nodded, "We can give them a chance maybe." He said and Rohit reluctantly nodded.

Rohit rubbed a hand down his face and all the moments of a little Siara came rushing in from of his eyes. The way she used to wait for Rohit to come from practice, the way she had tried to get a cake when Rohit had gotten selected in the national team, the way she had claimed Virat like her own brother, the way she had given her favourite ring to Ritika when she had met her, everything, and a tear rolled down his cheek again.

He felt angry and hurt but not by the fact that his little sister was in love, but nore because of the fact that she didn't trust him enough to share this with him.

"But I am not going to go easy on them." Rohit said tearfully and Yuvi and Virat smiled.

"No one's telling you to, I just came here to make you realise that giving them a chance won't be so bad after all. You could have your favourite kiddo in your family officially too." Yuvi said, smiling.

"Did you just agree to Ro being your favourite?" Virat asked, dramatically clutching at his chest.

"I, in no form whatsoever, said that cheeku." Yuvi said just as dramatically.

Rohit laughed for the first time in the day, since the time he had gotten to know about Yashasvi and Siara and he felt light, having made his decision.

But he still needed to talk to them and get that assurance he so desperately needed.

"What must be happening in there?" Siara asked as she paced in her room and Yashasvi sighed.

"Please sit down Sia." Yashasvi said pulling her on the bed to sit.

"Yashu you know that I won't be doing anything Ro bhaiya doesn't approve of, right?" Siara asked taking a deep breath to calm herself.

Yashasvi took her hand in his as he said, "I know Sia and I love you enough to not do something that makes you unhappy. And I know how much it would upset you to do something against Ro bhaiya's will."

Siara's vision blurred, because of tears of ber own, as she saw tears rolling down Yashasvi's cheeks.

She hugged Yashasvi, "I love you Yashu I really do." She said and rubbed his back in a soothing motion.

"I know baby and I love you too, and I also know Ro bhaiya's place in your life." Yashasvi said again caressing her hair.

They pulled apart and sat in silence, clutching at each other's hands, for god knows how long.

They heard a knock on the door and Siara and Yashasvi wiped there tears stained faces.

"Sia?" Tilak called out and the duo sighed as they relaxed just a bit.

"Come inside." Siara called out and Tilak and Dhruv came inside the room and locked it.

"What's going on? We didn't see you guys at all in the living room. Everyone's cluing in on something's wrong because neither Vi nor Ro bhai has come out of his room." Dhruv said.

"And you guys look miserable so we connected the dots and concluded that Ro bhai got to know." Tilak completed.

Yashasvi and Siara nodded, "Yeah he got to know about it, and has asked for time." Yashasvi said.

"I am scared, I can't bear to see the day he doesn't talk to me." Siara said as her eyes glistened again.

"That's not going to happen Sia." Tialk said as he slung an arm over her shoulder, patting her arm.

"Whatever happens we are here." Dhruv said as they did a group hug and Yashasvi and Siara felt a bit better.

No matter what happens to their relationship, they would always have this friendship.

Even so, Yashasvi and Siara were ready to do anything Rohit asked of them to prove their love.

And if he didn't---- well then it would be hard.
