A not so sunny morning, why? 

Well,it was full moon day and actually the clouds had invaded the sky. But even it would have been an upcoming full moon night, it was no less than Amavasya for Mahir and Adhya. Mahir's family was going to come to see her at evening 6 pm. From morning her Mom was behind her doing everything for the evening meet.

"Adhya, just try this herbal anti-bacterial face mask." Adhya's mom said passing her the face mask.

"Mom, for god's sake, I am not gonna pose for some advertisement of Fair and Lovely and I am damn sure, their company also don't deal in cosmetics sector." Adhya said frustated  by her Mom's makeup tantrums.

"Didi, itna bhi foundation mat lagana ki tube light se sidha LED bulb ban jao." Ryan her brother said tauntingly.

"Shut up Ryan, I myself hate it." She said while giving a glare to that poor face mask in her right hand.

Meanwhile her mother just applied egg albumin to her hairs and she just made  a face but not long after that she started smirking evilly.

"Why do I smell that today's evening is gonna be dangerously eventful."  Ryan commented whilst wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Well, it can be..." Adhya replied by moving both her hands in thin air.

At evening 5 pm ( Mahir's home)

"Mahir...Mahir..." His mother was calling out for him, so that they can go to finally see his soon to be bride. But he was no where in sight.

"Mahir, are you planning to grace us today?" His mother was getting angry every passing second due to her son's childishness.

"Ugh...What should I do now? I really don't want to marry that freak. God! Help me out!!" Mahir exclaimed while frantically pacing into the room.

"Mahir, if you didn't come down within five seconds, get ready to receive my flying chappal." His Mom shouted in anger from downstairs.

As soon as those words fell on his ears, he freaked out and started giving the finishing touches and headed out of the room.

'God, Save me!' He thought while heading down the stairs.

Once he reached towards them, he found three pairs of eyes glaring him intensely. While he was just busy calculating words to get out of this situation.

"Care to explain, what took you so long, My Highness?" His sister  Rhea asked him with a forced smile while making a mocking bow.

"I was busy thinking ways of escaping." Mahir muttered under his breath.

"Huh?" His Mother Kusmita retorted confused.

"Shaving!" Mahir exclaimed.

" I was busy shaving." Mahir said with an awkward smile, praying to god in his heart that they will buy his lie.

"Done with your petty excuses?" Kusmita asked making his smile flatter.

He just nodded his head in a yes and mumbled a 'Lets go' and headed outwards with his family behind him.

After a long time, they finally reached Adhya's  house.

Mahir after contemplating all the sides rang the door bell. They were greeted with a women in her mid forties.

"Namaste, Please come in." She said with a vibrant smile and moving sideways indicating them with her hands to enter the house.

"I hope you didn't had any difficulties reaching here." Adhya's father said to Mahir's father Veer.
