The day finally came and everyone is running all around the house preparing for the arrival of our guests.

"Kiu why are you not ready yet, they might be coming any moment now" mom shouted at me from the hallway and rushed me to get ready.

'Sigh; I seriously need to get myself together' I thought as I went to take a shower and started getting dressed in the light pink kurti mumma gave me.

I left my hair down in soft curls at the end and wore my nudge heels. I applied a little makeup just a bit of lip balm and kajal with maskara which makes my eyes look a bit big and more beautiful.

After that, I wore some accessories. Just a thin pendant and earnings with a bracelet in my left hand and a ring and watch on my right hand. My grandmother gave it to me before she died.

I don't know how but my grandma knew that I would love thin accessories more; so she bought this set for me. That's what my mom told me when she gave it to me to keep since it's mine.

But anyway what she thought came true because I am obsessed with thin accessories. It looks delicate and beautiful on my pale skin, maybe that's why.

After sometime I heard the door bell ringing so I guess this is it I am going to meet my future husband soon. Oh god please give me some strength.

Giving myself a quick pep talk I walked out of my room and towards the living room where everyone sat, happily chatting to each other.

As soon as I entered I was engulfed in a hug from Siya aunty. "My baby your looking so beautiful today."

I pouted cutely and said "don't I look beautiful everyday aunty" I walked to grandpa and hugged him and he gave me his blessings.

Everyone laughed at my antics as they were used to it. "Ofcourse my baby is the most beautiful every single day."

I grinned at her and hugged everyone else accept Kamini aunty, I don't know why but she didn't look so happy being here. Dhruv was a little unsure as he is not familiar with me because he was quite young at that time when we last met to remember me. So I just smiled at him which he returned.

I went back and sat with my parents on the couch. After that they introduced me to a man sitting beside Aarav bhai whom I didn't notice until now.

Oh god brain, what is wrong with you how can you not notice such a handsome man sitting just few inches away from you.

Abhiman Rajvansh; He is looking like a sex god in this formal attire with a bit more casual feel to it and his cold aura demanding respect. Which I will only give when I deem him as worthy.

But leave that aside, the magazine and the picture I received in the morning of him didn't do any justice at all. I mean look at him a walking hot package. How the hell can he be still single.

Flashback

'Ring' 'ring'

"Hel-"

"I want all the information you can find about Abhiman Rajvansh. You have to give me a detailed report on him. Remember every single thing should be in it. Am I making myself clear." I said in stern voice to let him know I am not joking about this.

"Yes mam. Crystal clear, I will get on it and try to find everything as soon as possible." You might be thinking who I'm talking to. Well...

"Thank you so much Liam" I said now in my normal voice.

Liam Salvador my best friend, my brother, my protector and my happy pill. I met Liam when I first started working and we instantly clicked. My family was wary of him at first but now he is like another family member to them.

Liam was so happy to get love from a family as his parents died when he was just eighteen, a teenager. His brother took care of him and all his expenses. It gave Liam a chance to become what he is today, and he is always grateful for his brother.

That's why when my family treated him also as a part he was over the moon and always tries his best to help us in any need. But we both have the strongest bond. We are each other's support system, whenever one is in need the other will always be present there.

"Well no problem. But why do you want to suddenly know about him" Liam's voice bought me out of my thoughts.

"Because I am getting married to him" I replied as I already know the outcome of the meeting.

Even though I said both our choices is required but when both the families will come together they will form a team to make us agree. So it's no use denying.

"What!!" he shouted, the confusion in his voice was clear.

"Yes grandpa Raj proposed the alliance and well I'll tell you the wedding date when it's fixed." I said

"Damn....... Well that means I have to find about him and his past even more deeply. Who knows the reality behind that face." Saying this he hangs up the call.

Let's see what will Liam find about this Abhiman Rajvansh.

Flashback end's

............ and this is Keira, Keira Singhania." I zoned out and only heard the last part. Thank god they were talking with each other or they would have seen me zoning out and teased me for this my whole life.

"Kiu take Abhiman, Aarav, Jasmine and Dhruv with you to the garden area and you and Abhiman can talk about the things there. Okay." Mom said to me motioning me to go ahead and that the elders want to talk.

"Alright mumma" I look at Aarav bhai and said "let's go Aarav bhai you know I still have the swing in the garden but it was too small for me, so Papa arranged a new and bigger one" while walking outside to the garden area.

Aarav bhai chuckled at my behaviour and said "you didn't change at all choco."

I huffed at him and said while crossing my arms "if I will change how can both the families even survive without me and my antics" I turned around and started walking again.

This time he laughed out loud and said "True, very true. If you won't be like this I would not even see the day grandpa would act like a whiney baby to get your attention"

I giggled remembering those days "both you and grandpa used to fight who will get to hug me first."

"Yeah" he replied smiling ear to ear.

"Similarly bhai you should smile more, that frown doesn't suit you. I didn't change right you should also not change because of some problems" everything was silent. I looked at Aarav bhai to see his eyes misty.

He suddenly hugged me in tight bear hug and said "where were you when I needed you the most choco. I was so lonely, there was no one to share my pain with." His voice cracked every time he spoke and it broke my heart.

"I am so sorry bhai, so sorry I was not there when you needed me but don't close yourself please. It's not only harming you but others too. You are hurting jasmine di unknowingly bhai and that's not good" I hugged him tightly while moving my hands in his hairs to calm him down a bit, it always work with Adi and it looks like it worked on him too.

After we separated, there was a pin drop silence and the atmosphere turned awkward. I motion my eyes towards jasmine di (elder sister) while looking at Aarav bhai with my eyes saying 'go talk, you need it.'
