All the family members mine and adh. . . Arjun's were gathered infront the tv.

People would wake up from a coma if they heard the way i screamed. The whole hungover family were sitting here and there with their heads in their hands. With the pain and the pressure of the situation.

Everyone came out of their room grumbling or cursing. I saw adhi looking fine as day walking into the room and i purposefully ignored that smoking hot black shirt and knee length jean shorts he wore.

"What am i gonna do?" Jeevam uncle said. Defeat laced his voice.

"How am i gonna conduct my childs wedding in such circumstances?" His eyes teared up.

"Papa.." tara sent beside him and perched on the arm of the couch besides her father.

"Its fine papa. We could do a register marriage for all i care" tara calmed him.

"No! Your wedding is my biggest dream baby. I wont settle for anything less" he pulled her into a hug.

So thats what a loving father looks like.

Then mohan uncle my second uncle and vivek and varuns father spoke "How would we do this jeeva?"

He stood and moved to the center of the room.

"Dads gonna do a presentation. Be ready." Vivek whispered in my ears.

I stiffled a giggle and mohan uncle started to speak.

"There are no transportation facilities, no shops, no banks. How would we arrange it? We cant hire anyone for the decorations, catering. Hell we can't even get her jewels out of the bank locker" he rushed out.

Then only the depth of the situation hit me. Damn we were really locked in.

"A wedding cannot be organised in a jiffy jeeva. It needs a proper plan and design. We cant even hire an organiser for this" . He sighed and went back to his seat.

Huh! If they had hired my company in the first place i could have had my workers here and could have used them to plan the wedding. But nope my designs were too Simple for mohan uncle. Serves him right.

"Maya is an organiser"

For a second i stopped breathing.
Why would adhi say that? How did he know?

Everyone in the crowd turned to the source of the voice.

But It was arjun.

Its because of their similar voices. Why else would you think it was adhi.

"Right? I remember tara saying something about that. You work in quatra right? Diane's company?"

Whoa. He knew my boss.

"You know diane?" I creaked out.

"Ya i am the design engineer for her custom made S cross" he said.

We all looked at him in expectance
I had no idea what an s cross was.

"Its a new car. Its yet to be released." He finished as if sensing my feelings.

"My point is, maya is an event organiser. A team leader for that matter. Quatra handles major events like filmfare and stuff. Is a wedding such big a task for you?" He looked at me.

And he. . . Oh my god. He was making puppy eyes at me. And oh lord it was working.

I shook my head from the haze and slapped him in the forearm. He laughed.

"I actually offered to do it at first but, they rejected me." I looked at mohan uncle and he lifted his arms in defeat.

"I didnt reject you sweetie. Your designs were. . . " he did a gesture with his hands which roughly translates to not enough.
