Next day.....

Akshat woke up at nine a.m. sharp in the morning. He got up, took a shower and headed to his father's chambers. He entered to see his mother and father in their huge garden talking while sipping a cup of tea. They heard the chamber doors open and turned.

"Ahh, son. Come. Sit," His father said. Akshat grabbed a seat in front of them. His mother handed him a cup of tea. "Son, we have decided to get you married," his mother said. "What? Ma, isn't it too early?" he asked. "It's not too early. You are 31. You have to be married," his father said.

Akshat left their chamber. He went to the guest chamber where Abhirud and Adhina were. He knocked on the door. Abhirud opened it and gave him a smile. "I would like to talk to you two about a matter. May I, or is it not the right time?" Akshat said. "We also wanted to talk to you about something," Abhirud said and guided him to the chair. The three of them sat on a chair and talked.

"So, are you in to my sister?" Abhirud asked directly and sternly. "What?" Akshat asked taken aback. "Well, I have to ask you a question. Forget about what my husband said. Why did you not want us to tell Arshita that you saved her?" Adhina asked.

"What!?" they heard a voice which did not came from the three. They turned and saw Arshita standing there...
