House is bustling with relatives, and my family members are rushing back and forth, fully involved in my engagement work. All my aunt's, uncle's and cousins arrived today and made a festival atmosphere in the house with their presence. Mom and Bademaa became the busiest persons in the world. What made me burst into laughter is the way Mumma lashing out at Karthik Bhai whenever he would have seen free. We cousins had a great day talking and enjoying ourselves as we met after a long time, and also they teased me a lot with Atharvaa's name. The day went in a swift, and we all retired to our rooms to sleep early, as Tomorrow is The Day... and we have to wake up ahead as the ceremony is going to eventuate in the morning. I tried to rest, but sleep is a far way, as my mind is fussed with so many things.
My phone screen flashed with a message notification, and I smiled, seeing a Good night message from Atharvaa. It got habitual for us to send good morning and goodnight messages daily, even after we talk hours in the call. These days we grow more comfortable with each other. He blended quickly with my family that now he had become a favorite to everybody. His respect, caring, protectiveness, and playfulness captured my heart firmly and made me admire him more. Thinking about Atharvaa, my mind returned to the day when he confessed. The intense look, honestly acknowledging his like towards me and the kiss on my hand, which still erupts the butterflies in my tummy. That day I too wanted to admit that I like him too and say that I never felt with anyone the way I feel with him, but my shyness stopped me to express loudly.
Suddenly, I started to feel apprehensive thinking about tomorrow, so without waiting, I picked up my phone and did a call to him to calm my mind. On the fourth ring, he picked up the phone with a concerned tone.
"Khushi, what happened?? You didn't sleep yet??? Are you okay??" he bombarded with a lot of questions immediately.
"Atharvaa, I'm na feeling mixed emotions like excited, nervous, and panic at a time. It feels like there is a volcano in my stomach, and it will burst soon." I mumbled out.
He chuckled, listening to my ranting.
"You sound so cute when you rant and volcano!!! Seriously???"
"Don't laugh!!! I'm serious.
"Accha, sorry, and you don't have to be nervous. I will be there with you tomorrow and will be forever."
Why, why... why he has to say those words??? Why my stupid heart beating so fast like I'm going to have a heart attack. You na Khushi going mad.
"Hmm," I hummed shyly.
Soon the conversation diverted to his relatives and tomorrow's event. As expected, my nervousness flew away, speaking with him, and I slowly dozed off to sleep while chatting with him.

I jolted up from my sleep when someone, screaming my name loudly.
