Everyone was sitting around in the living room and talking. Dad and Mr. Joshi were discussing business and such. Mom and Naina Aunty were talking about some girl's broken marriage, and we kids were sitting there awkwardly. Kiara looked at me pleadingly, silently asking me to save her. I almost laughed at her discomfort. Seeing her distress, I spoke up.

"As much as I would like to hear about Uday Uncle's business plans and Payal's broken marriage, I don't think Kiara is enjoying herself. So, with due permission from Mr. Joshi and Naina Aunty, I would like to take the kids outside to the gazebo."

They laughed at my request and nodded, implying their permission. Within seconds, Kiara, Arman, and Aahan were ready to go. I laughed at them and guided them to the gazebo, silently wishing Agastya would follow us. Honestly, I wanted to get to know him better.

We soon reached the gazebo, and I turned around smiling as Mr

We soon reached the gazebo, and I turned around smiling as Mr. Agastya followed us. I asked everyone to sit down. Not even a minute had passed when my brother said, "Kya aapke toothpaste me namak hai? (Does your toothpaste have salt in it?)"

I suddenly remembered what he did and started walking toward him, not caring about the guests. I punched him hard in the stomach and shouted, "I am changing the Netflix password, Prime's password, and also the Hotstar password. Also, I'm going to tell Dad that you drank his imported whiskey and inform Mom that you have collected all your unwashed underwear in the drawer next to your bed."

Upon seeing his horrified face, I smirked and took a seat. I heard laughter coming from the other set of siblings and joined them. Aahan scowled at me but soon joined in.

After the laughter died down, Kiara and I started talking about the new H&M sale, and Aahan and Arman began discussing the new video game. Agastya was busy typing something on his phone. I learned that Arman and Kiara are 20-year-old twins and Agastya is 25 years old.

Then Aahan said, "Do you want to play golf?"

Kiara and Arman said yes, while Agastya and I declined. Aahan took Kiara and Arman to our mini-golf course, leaving me and Agastya alone.

"Ummm... hi," I said awkwardly.

"Hi Aahana," he replied. The way my name came out of his mouth in a husky tone made my heart do somersaults.

"So, you're quite a good lawyer. I mean, the way you dominated the meeting, I really liked it," he said, initiating a conversation.

"Nothing like that. By the way, thanks," I replied, trying to hide my blush.

"So, what do you do?" I asked him.

"I'm looking forward to becoming the CEO of my company. I'm actually going to Boston after a few months for my Master's in Business and Economics," he replied, which shocked me.

"I'm also going to Boston after a few months to do an LLM (Master of Laws)," I said.

"Are you serious? Which university are you planning to join?" he asked curiously.
