Hey everyone this is chapter 22 do like and comment
The sun cast a warm glow over the Malhotra household - not unfamiliar to the Singhania family, who lived just next door. The two families had shared everything over the years - morning chai on adjoining balconies, neighborhood Holis, school runs, and childhood fights between their kids.
Which is why today, the quiet buzz in the Malhotra house had an added layer of warmth.
Kritika Malhotra, the perfectionist of the family, was finally getting Married Her smile hadn't left her face since morning.
Her mother ran from room to room, fixing decor, barking orders at the caterers. "Malhotra uncle se kehna ki samose abhi bhejein - woh unke hi supplier se le rahe hain!"
Because of course - when neighbours become samdhi, kaam bhi aadha ho jaata hai.

By 6:30 PM, the living room was buzzing.
Marigold garlands lined the walls, fairy lights twinkled across curtain rods, and the air smelled like cardamom chai and rose petals.
Karan Singhania, dressed in a navy blue kurta and beige Nehru jacket, sat between his parents, smiling.
The Singhania family was warmly familiar with the Malhotra's - they'd seen Kritika and Shivika grow up. But today was different.
Today, rishta pakka was more than a tradition - it was a promise.
Kritika walked in wearing a soft pink saree, a modest smile on her lips, her hair pinned into a bun. The room quieted for a beat.
"Dekho, apni bahu aagyi " Mrs Singhania said teasing her
Karan stood up, helped her sit beside him.
"You look..." he whispered, "...like the girl I knew I'd say yes to the day you beat me in that contract clause debate."
She smirked. "Good. Because I still can."
The laughter that followed blended with the clinking of chai cups and casual banter of two families too familiar to need introductions.
Moments later, with sweets passed around and mutual nods, the rishta was declared official.

Kritika and karan who was always there to solve flights between siddharth and shivika didn't knew when they fell in love with each other
Kritika and karan both are lawyers so they fell in love with each other in a contract clause

He always saw her as a shy introvert mature girl who always supported her sister and sorted her fights because her sister is just opposite to her fought with everyone that's what he thought before
But she is not more different than her she fight physically and kritika defeated everyone with her words

Later that night, Kritika stood on the balcony, dialing a number that hadn't rung in the house in over a year.
Shivika's number.
It rang twice.
"Hello?" Shivika's soft voice answered, laced with exhaustion and surprise.
