" Bhaiyaaaaaaaa" Rudra almost jumped on Shivaay who was entering the mansion.
"Hey Rudy.. Hows by you?"
"Fine, bhaiyaa, cant you see the decorations? Shaadi is gonna happen in Oberoi Mansion" Rudra spoke out of excitement.
"Arey! let him come into the house first" Om scolded him, to which Rudy genuinely made a puppy face.
"Hey! Whats up" Shivaay hugged his brother.
"Nothing as such! Tell me, You were supposed to come after 2days naah? Jaldi aa gaya? Kashmir mein sab thik hain naah? Kashmir ki Lake, Pahar, Greenery, aur Kashmir ki Kalii (blossom/Flower , used metaphorically) ?" Om gave a naughty smirk to Rudra, and winked at Shivaay.
"Tu.. kehena kya chahta hain ?" Shivaay tried to understand him.
"Nothing, Chill! Arey Sit naah, Aapna hi ghar samajh" Om said jokingly.
Shivaay sat on a divan.
"Ab bol.. aur kya shaadi? kiska? I mean You guys did not let me know, Who are the Groom and the Bride? From which family? Preparations & decorations are going on fleek, it looks like" He looked at his surrounding. The flower patterns, Designs on The railing of the staircase, fairy lights hanging from here and there, lamps and Floral decors brightened up the environment.
Rudra gazed at a dumbfounded Shivaay, then looked at Om and blinked while Om could not help but smile,
"I should have told you, but Shaadi Iss ghar ka bete ka ho raha hain!" Om cleared his throat, Finally He gave some hints to his confused brothers.
"Whaaaaat" Shivaay and Rudy shouted out loud in union and looked at each other widening their eyes.
"You are going to marry" Shivaay asked still could not able to blink, while Rudra spoke, "I guessed it right, Thats why You keep blushing a lil too much, these days" He gasped.
Om looked at both of his brothers, shook his head as if They were aliens, "Impossible"
He left from there.

"Guess who's it?" Anika came sneakily into her Dadaji's room and blindfolded him with her hands, standing from behind.
Rishiraj Mittal was having his evening cup of coffee, got a sudden jerk with this, and thus The cup fell from his hand.
"Aaaaa...Anika" He could not believe but tried to feel the touch of his grand daughter.
On the other side Anika took her hands off and came from behind. "Yeh kya tha? Aap mujhko dekhke Cup hi gira di?" She pouted.
Rishiraj Mittal got surprised to see his grand daughter after so long. He stood up, cupped her face and took her in a fatherly embrace.
"Cant believe Anu, my little Anu finally now has grown up. No... My my Angel.. My little Anu.. My Anika" He was shivering out of happiness, disbelief, surprise. "This stack of bricks and cement will be felt like a home now" His eyes were brimming wit happy tears.
Anika wiped off his tears, and said "Now I have come, so no more tears! You know naah Dadaji, 'I hate tears' " She mimicked Rajesh Khanna's famous Dialogue.
"Such a drama queen, my grand daughter is" He slapped on her cheeks gently, being all amused at her antics.
"Dadaji, where's He? He had reached here naah?"
"Haan haan, He is in his room probably, Tujhpe hi gaya hain tera bhai" He laughed out loud.
"Hmm.. mera bhai hain naah" Anika looked down, smiling. "Ok can I meet him first, before getting ready for the dinnar, Am really feeling very hungry You know, I can gobble anything just anything right away" She did not wait there anymore.
"Bilkul pagal hain jaise humesha thi" He smiled at her retreating figure.
............
"Surprise" Anika took Sahil in her arms and made him swing round in the air by her arms.
"Didiiiii aap aa gayi?"
"Hmm kaise na ati? Mera bhai meri wait kar raha hoga naah?"
"Haan, par mujhko ab niche utaro"
Sahil pleaded, Anika made him sit on the bed.
"Kaisi ho aap?"
"Bohooooot khush" Anika hugged him tightly and gave a wet kiss on his cheek, He immediately wiped it off,
"Aise gili kissie mat do" He reminded her.
"Main bhul gayi thi, sorry"
"No.. wo sorry nehi chalega, Aap gift laaye ho?"
Anika smiled and about to turn to bring the gift which She had bought.
but An innocent question swept off the ground beneath her,
"Mera Papa kaha hain, Where is he now ? Is he okay hmm? Anika Didi"
