"That's How We MET"

|| Chapter Fifty-Three ||

Happy Reading.

Next day at Shrivastav mansion,
Trisha got ready in a beautiful light pink anarkali with jhumka, few bangles, kajal and maskara complimenting her eyes.
She wore a light shade of lipstick and a small bindi.

Everyone was supposed to come by   1 pm as mahima(trisha's mom) invited everyone for lunch.
Soon deetya and taksh along with aarav, priyansh, kiara arrived.

The house was full of chaos, laughter, fun and " remember when...." stories, with aarav stealing glance towards Trisha in between.

Mahima said with adoration,
"i missed you all , when my Trisha was not here I couldn't even meet you kids as well but now it feels so good to have you all here."

Deetya said,
"Arey auntie, mujhe phone kr diya kijiye aap mein aa jaungi yaha.
Waise bhi kuch log toh mujhe ghar se bahar nhi nikalne de rahe yaha toh bhej hi sakte hai"
She gave a fake smile to taksh who was being extra protective towards her health nowadays.

Taksh gave a shy smile to Deetya and others laughed at their banter.

They all settled on the rug in the living room and were playing cards. That's when kavya ( trisha's bhabhi )  entered and said to mahima,
"maa...you remember that cousin of mine, whose family was asking about Trisha ..! They are asking for her hand for marriage"
All the colours of Trisha, aarav and the rest of the others faces faded with the same intensity as it grew on mahima's face.

Mahima was overjoyed,
"oh that boy aditya right? Nice boy he is, can you please ask them if I can call them in the evening, kavya beta?"

Kavya nodded,
"sure maa they loved our Trisha so much that they want to directly do engagement on the first meet."

In this whole Chaos Aarav's eyes were stuck on Trisha finding an answer for all this but all Trisha couldn't say was,
"excuse me" and left.

Kavya smiled,
"yeh toh abhi se sharma gayi"

Deetya faked a smile,
"aaa... aunty when did this happen? And Trisha didn't tell me about all this."

Mahima replied,
"areh beta aditya and his family saw her in tanish and Kavya's wedding and since then they loved her so much, aditya is a nice boy well behaved, well qualified, he likes her so much and over all he is good for Trisha.

Deetya asked after knowing everything,
"and what did Trisha say about all this?"

Mahima replied,
"areh she knew that they asked about her once but nothing serious till now, but you see now she is 26 and I think she should get married now and have a perfect and happy family like you do."

Deetya said,
" ya but.."

Mahima interrupted her,
"deetya beta do me a favour why don't you talk about this with her, look aditya is a nice boy he'll definitely take care of her and he really likes her.".

While all this conversation was going on, aarav had his eyes stuck towards the way where Trisha went, he couldn't stand that Trisha, his Trisha would marry someone else.

After a while Trisha came back her eyes a bit red and puffy as if she cried a little and the kajal she had was now all wiped off.
They all had adrak wali chai which Trisha made for everyone and while serving the cups aarav was staring at trisha but she couldn't gather the courage to look into his eyes.

Their fingers brushed while exchanging the cup but Trisha didn't look at him even once which was making it even worse for aarav.

After a while they all decided to leave when deetya said,
"I need to talk with Trisha for a moment... excuse me"
