Couple Test - Arranged Love (Under Editing)

Jeevan gadi hai samay pahiya

She woke up from her peaceful slumber after an eventful day, she had in fact needed an alarm to wake up given the fact there were guests staying  under the same roof as hers as of this morning. She still had her mother to deal with. Years back it was decided that her mother would get no whiff about the incident. Luck had also favoured them then. Right after that trip her uncle had disappeared to god knows where leaving behind his family. Her aunt had not bothered about his disappearance in fact when they saw her after a few months, she had literally glowed. Her cousins were sent to boarding school and after that life happened but they had managed to stay in touch through messages and emails. Even they did not complain or muse about the absence of their father. They had continued with their life as if they never had a father. Her mother was baffled but she had come to terms with it soon for reasons unknown to her. She was mentally preparing herself to answer to questions that would be thrown her way. She only hoped that her mother asked her whatever it is. She wasn't ready to open up or talk about anything related to yesterday to his family just yet. She had told him only because if they were to get married he needed to know and circumstances pushed her to take that step. She was also reeling from the fact that he was once a slave to drugs and had battled depression. She marvelled at the way he had sculpted himself. She also realised that she needed to be more vocal. She needed to be more assertive. Her alarm rang once again only to put a full stop to these kind of thoughts for the time being and pushed her to freshen up to look presentable

It was a different story altogether at the living room. The atmosphere was rather lively. All were preset except for Chopra siblings and Avinash. Akhil felt guilty for slapping his brother. He hadn't waited to listen to his explanation,he had fought all odds to stand at such a respectable position. Avinash matured earlier than he did and always looked at things from a totally different perspective thus making him approach things differently. He had even helped to convince his parents about Shraddha, when his father was completely against workplace relationship. His father tolerated anything but that. It was totally different when it came to agreeing to love marriage versus a love that started at work. People could argue otherwise but Anand Nanda did separate personal and professional space. He did not mind if his employers did get in to a relationship within the premises of Nanda Corporation but to Nanda brothers, it was a big No. Eventually, he broke the rules but it was Avinash who managed the rest.

Aadhya had joined rest of the group and after exchanging formal morning greetings with one another, she took a place on the sofa.

"All fine Aadhya ?" Anand Nanda asked breaking the sudden silence after she settled in.

"More than ever" she replied and requested everyone to listen to her for a minute. "It might probably come as a shock to everyone here, but let's ramp up the wedding date" she said boldly and took a sip of her coffee.

Avinash who was just coming down the stairs almost tripped listening to her out of the blue request. Rohit caught him at the right time and smirked at him. His sister was being a handful this morning and poor Avinash, did not know what him.

Her parents looked at her doubtfully and his parents expression was no different but this time around Anand Nanda wasn't going to let others meddle with it as he had his own reasons.

"Is it because of the stunt pulled by the media ? It's a small issue and can be handled." He voiced out his opinion.

"Partially it is and also I don't feel comfortable having the media breathing down my neck plus I suppose we both decided this last night" she said and looked at Avinash whose mouth was literally open wide.

"Teri behen mujhe pakka marwayegi ek na ek din (your sister will definitely have me killed someday or the other " Avinash mumbled in Rohit's ear and knew it was time for him to step in to the hungama she had just created.
