"Rey." I murmured. I looked at him dumbfounded. He was in all formal suit just like Mr.Agrawal but he still looked cute in it with his messy hair and slim-fit personality and who can forget those hazel eyes.

"You can even stay with me instead you know." Rey said with a chuckle. I stood from my sitting position and looked into his eyes.
A hand hit Rey's head.

"Can you repeat what you just said?" Rina asked who was just beside him.

"Rina." I said looking at her. She was looking prettier than earlier. She seemed like gained some weight. So she wasn't anymore skinny, Infact she looked much healthier, glowing and fresh.

"Omg.. Kiara." With that she hugged me tightly.

"Please forgive me... I beg you.. I never intended to hide anything from you. I swear. But the situation forced me to." Rina whispered in my ears.

"Umm.. I guess now it's my turn." Rey said and tapped on Rina's shoulder. As soon as Rina moved her hands away from me. Rey hugged her. Everyone burst out laughing.

"I thought he meant by his turn hugging Kiara.!!" Exclaimed someone.

"Yah.. That too." With that Rey hugged me. 'Ughh this guy never failed to spread happiness around.' I thought.

"Now it's your turn Aarav." Rey said and I looked at him with wide eyes. He did know everything still. Then I saw a little shiny white diamond ring on Rina's figure.

"Are you guys engaged?" I asked them changing the topic.

"Umm... Actually married." Rey said.

"Omg.." I gasped. "When did this happen?" I asked.

"Just few months ago." Rina answered shyly.

"Oh. My. God." I murmured covering my mouth.

"Aarav never told you?"

"How do you guys know each other?"

Such questions were around. I almost forgot that I was talking in front of so many people. I looked at Mr. Agrawal for help because I didn't have any idea how to solve the issue.

"Kiara used to work in my company but that she resigned due to some personal issues." Mr. Agrawal said emphasising the word 'personal issues.' I nodded. Agreeing with this made up lie.

"Oh.." Granny said.

"Then why didn't you attend their marriage? Infact you didn't even know about it?" Someone else asked.

"Why don't we continue with the game? Because I surely thinks that Mr. Agrawal lost." I said changing the topic.

"What?" A young lady from earlier which seemed to me like Mia's mother started laughing loudly and came in front of me.

"What did you just say?" She asked.

"That I think I won." I repeated confused.

"No you just said Mr. Agrawal." She said giggling.

"Oh.. Ya!" I said didn't know what to say.

"Ohh.. That during job we all used to call him Mr. Agrawal so.." Rina covered up.

"So what? Start calling him Aarav from now on." The Lady said to me. I looked at Mr. Agrawal with wide eyes. I have never called him by his first name and didn't even plan to because it felt kinda more intimidating.

"What? Are you alright?" She confirmed clueless. I nodded in response.

"Guys and girls settle down.. We aren't done yet." Granny announced and yet again everyone stopped talking.

"Oh Granny!!" With that Rey hugged Granny and sat beside her. Rina greeted Granny as well and settled down with the rest of the relatives. Technically I, Rey, Rina and Mr. Agrawal were kinda like of a same family now. Me having a family now sounded weird to me as well.

"So Mr. Agrawal." Granny mocked me. "How much will you rank your wife?"

"Umm.. 9 and a half." He answered. I looked at him with wide eyes with a look which asked Seriously? 'He just gave me 9 and a half so that I lose.' I thought angrily. There were groans around.

"That's so unfair." Someone said on my behalf. Granny laughed seeing us that much into the game.

"Not so soon the finally rapid fire round will decide the winner." Granny announced grabbing everyone's interest. Everyone cheered either for me or Mr. Agrawal. Majority cheers were for me and at that point of time endorphin hormone in my body increased.

"Okay then, answer from both of you must be really quick okay?" Granny asked. We agreed.

"The date when you met?" Granny asked. We looked at each other clueless. It was difficult to remember the date we met when it was 11 years ago.

"Ohh.. Okay." Granny said understanding our clueless expression.

"Your first date?" Someone from behind me asked.

"Umm..!!" Mr. Agrawal thought.

"If a business tour counts?" I said at the same time he did.

"Your nickname for each other?" Granny's friend asked.

"Kiara is a short name why need a nice name?" Mr. Agrawal asked annoyed.

"Mr. Agrawal if that counts?" I asked looking down. Till now the entire relatives were around us listening to our unusual answers from what they expected.

"Your honeymoon destination?" Granny asked.

"Paris" Mr. Agrawal lied.

"Singapore." I lied looking towards Mr. Agrawal. He was running his hand through his hair now.

"You haven't even planned that?" I heard someone murmured.

"How did you meet for the first time?"

"In my office." He replied as if it was the simplest question ever.

"Our car crashed." I half answered half lied because we technically met years ago.

"Who proposed whom?" Granny asked.

"Our feelings for each other was quite obvious." Mr. Agrawal answered.

"It was understood." I lied again. Till now Rey and Rina were almost laughing as they knew everything about our relationship being anything but romantic.

"They have never been on an official date." Rina concluded.

"We have never seen them talking anything but work." Rey added.

"Rey.." Mr. Agrawal warned.

"I have never heard of such a sad and depressing love life in my entire life." Granny's friend said dramatically wiping her fake tears.

"Guys.. Your love life till date sucked." One of Mr. Agrawal's cousins almost of his age said.

"We will have to do something to spice up... Don't you think so guys?" Rey asked. I gave him a death glare. He was dead as I saw Mr. Agrawal stood and walked towards him.
