DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

Aradhya's POV

3 years have passed since the day Shuvham was born. It's his 3rd birthday today. Many things changed in these 3 years. The most shocking things were sudden departure of Mrs. Cassidy and Cassius. Mrs. Cassidy was getting around but one night she got a cardiac arrest and passed away while sleeping. Gabi was broken down completely but Cassius supported her the most that time. Everything was going great until he met a tragic car crash. We thought Gabi will break down completely but she didn't. She took the responsibilities of Cassius's nephew Caleb. She didn't allow anyone else to reach her anymore. The kind hearted, innocent Gabi died along with Cassius. She doesn't want anyone else to take his place in his life. None of us ever force her to do anything like that. Dad told us to leave her alone in this matter. She stays at our place most of the time cause Caleb and Shuvham are very close friends already. When we are away for tours and concerts Caleb always stays at our place.

Concerts reminded me about Drama Queens. It reached the highest success already. Drama Queens has a massive fan followers around the world now. We already achieved what we wanted to.

Asher and Ardeyn have completed their graduations. We are so proud of them. They focused on their family business now as they can concentrate on it completely now. But one thing didn't change which is the rivalry between Northscott and Kentworth. Ardeyn and Juliet have to go through very awkward situation for the family rivalry these years. I hope it ends up soon.

Jordana got engaged recently. We are so happy for her. She has found out the true love for herself. Heidi is still enjoying her single life. She has boys wrapped around her finger but she is not ready to have a serious relationship yet. Jordana often says that the guy who will be Heidi's partner has to be patient enough to tolerate her behavior and accept her attitude or has to be more stubborn than her to tame her. I don't know what will happen in future. Talking about Whitney a few tragedy happened in her life. First her mother's death 6 years back then her step mother who literally made her life a hell. 3 years back she came to know that her brother wasn't her biological brother. He was someone else's son. Her mother passed away with her unborn brother while giving birth to him. It was her step mom who plotted this game with them. But the most tragic thing for her was her father's death. He passed away on the mission 2 years back. Since then she stays with her step mother who is supposed to be her aunt too. Her aunt changed a lot these days. She doesn't torture her like before but she adopted a boy named Felix recently. Whitney didn't want to trust her cause she plotted crucial game before and trusting her again wasn't easy for her. But after checking every details about Felix, Whitney agreed to let her keep him.

Jacob and Mom are so happy with me, Shuvham and our family. My dad has opened new wings of his hotels around Europe. Melanie has set up her business already. I am so happy for her. She has gotten around completely. We tried to find out her family but we couldn't. She can't remember anything about her family. She doesn't want to remember them as well. She still lives with us. She loves Shuvham and Caleb so dearly. Seeing her affection for kids her doctor said may be she had children and she has lost them. Not impossible. But her family never ever tried to find her out?! If I ever find them out I will not leave them for their cruel behavior toward her.

" Ali." I heard Shuvham who was hugging my legs. I chuckled before picking him up in my arms and found Caleb pouting at me. I shook my head and picked him up too.

" Caleb ish a punkin." Shivam said.

" Shuvi is a rotten egg." Caleb said and I sighed deeply.

"' You ale a lat." Shuvham said.

" You are a mouse." Caleb chuckled.

" Both ale shame." Shuvham said and I chuckled.

" You and I are the same as well." Caleb said and I shook my head.

" Hey, kids. Happy birthday, Shuvham." Heidi said taking Shuvham from me and kissed on his forehead who giggled. Caleb pouted again. I chuckled at his antiques. Heidi kissed on his forehead too.

" Girls!!" I found Heidi. I shook my head.

" Where were you?" Gabi asked her.

" I was on a date. The Lancelot guy is much different from others." Heidi said. I rolled my eyes.

" How long will this be going on, Heidi?" Juliet asked her.

" I don't know. All guys are the same. They just want a chance to sleep with me. There is no one who can be called special." She said.

" Then how is your present one different?" I asked her.

" He is a fan. He is too humble. He has money and things that he can buy me the world and my happiness. Lame one." She said and I chuckled.

" Try to have a serious relationship, Heidi. You are matured enough. There are rumors about you all the time." Whitney said taking Caleb from me. He hugged her at once.

She brought Felix with herself. He was sitting next to Gabi silently. He was a calm and quiet boy. Never whines for anything. Whitney was very worried at first then the doctor assured that it's his nature. There is nothing wrong with him.

The birthday party started when all the guests arrived. I found Asher talking to my dad. He was very busy yesterday. We couldn't talk when he came to see me I was sleeping by then. He hasn't changed at all. He is still the same calm and quiet person. But one thing changed about him that he turned more dashing and handsome now. He looks much matured now. Girls are still crazy about him though they know that he has a girlfriend already. I shook my head. We cut the cake and had dinner. I was standing on the balcony after dinner watching my family and friends who were the source of my happiness.

" There are everyone whom we can call our family, right?" Asher asked me and I chuckled.

Yes, my uncles and aunts, my cousins, their kids all were here. I invite them every year on Shuvham's birthday but not always they can manage to fly to London. But I am happy that they came this year.

" Yes, I am so happy." I said and he smiled.

" Come with me." He said holding my hand and went to the backyard garden of our house.

" Excuse me, everyone." Asher said and everyone turned to see us. " I have something to tell you guys." He said and I looked at him confusedly.

" I like to talk straight so I don't want take long from you." He said and went on his knees before picking out a small velvet box from his pocket. I looked at him completely shocked. " Marry me." He said and I chuckled hearing his words. This was really surprising for me. I nodded and he stood up putting the ring on my finger. Everyone cheered for us.

" It was boring like you." Ardeyn said and Asher rolled his eyes.

" Thank you." He said to him. I chuckled.

I took pictures of my ring and posted it on my social media accounts. I was ready to face the Tornado of comments after that.
