We ended the last chapter with Sarlama saying that she wanted to get Sid married to Disha.

Rishabh:"NOOO" He shouted.

Everyone in the room turned to look at him.

Karan: " Kyu Bhai, why are you shouting No like that".

Rishabh: " Wo, huh I ...Sid....marriage ...No" he stammered

Sameer: " What do mean No Bhai,  what problem do you have with this alliance ".

Bulbul:" Haan Rishabhji"

Preeta:" Yes tell us"

Rishabh: " I LOVE DISHA, THATS THE PROBLEM I HAVE" he shouted.

There was pin drop silence in the room for 5 seconds before everyone started laughing.

Disha: " Why is everyone laughing ".

Pragya: " Because this was their plan".

Dishrish: " Plan " 🥴🥴.

Shristi: " Haan plan, we knew about you 2.".

Bulbul: " yes so why did you hide it ".

Rakhima:" Haan Beta, Im very happy , Disha is a good girl, and she would be a good daughter in law."

Dishrish blushed.

Sarlama: " Haan and we will call the priest to find out the times to arrange the engagement this afternoon"

Everyone was happy and they called the priest. While Pragya received a call and left to take it, this was noticed by Abhi, Sid and Arjun so they followed her.

Pragya on call: " Haan KK tell me, is it done ".

KK: " Yes he, its done, now we just need to wait".

Pragya: " Very good, Thank you  so much for your help".

KK: " Di, no thank you, this is my duty, anyway I need to go now, will see you soon. Bye".

Pragya: " Haan, Bye, give my love to my friend".

They hung up and Pragya turned to see the 3 guys behind her.

Abhi: " Fuggy, who was that ".

Pragya: " That was KK, the deal is done ".

Abhi: " Haan but you still have not told me what deal and who this KK is ".

Pragya:" Dont worry so much Suniye, you will know soon, for now lets go get ready find out what the priest said. "

They returned to the living area to find the priest looking at the horoscopes to decide dates.

Priest: " Both engagements can be done tomorrow then wedding in a month".

Shrishmeer/ Preeran/Dishrish/ Purbul: " Both" ?

Abhigya: " Haan both, you see na, we also arranged Shristis engagement".

Sameer: " Kya, Lambu, No No".

Abhi:" Kyu Nai Bhai". Abhi smirked.

Sameer :" Hare ye Mera Lambu ".

Everyone: " Tumhara Lambu".

Sameer blushed : " Wo, I mean".

Rakhima: " Haa, we know you mean".

LD: " Ye, engagement is you and your lambus".

Everyone laughed and Shrishmeer blushed.

The next day everyone was preparing for the engagment, the family had decided that they would only have it among themselves, however they still decorated and got everything done.

Preeran and Purbul went to the stage.

Preeta: " Today is a very special day, my big sister and little sister are getting engaged to my two brother in laws".

Bulbul: " Haan, so without any delays we call our lovely couples to exchange the rings. "

Karan handed Rishabh the ring and Preeta gave a ring to Disha.

And Bulbul gave to Shristi while Purab to Sameer.

They exchanged rings and everyone applauded. Then Pragya also took the mike and said.

Pragya: " One minute, you see my other sister my brother in law, they were engaged to other people but married each other, so they should also exchange rings. "

She went to Preeran. Abhi gave Karan a ring and Pragya to Preeta

They exchanged rings and everyone was happy.

Abhi: " And now for couples dance."

So everyone went to the dance floor and danced to Gerua very romantically while everyone watched.

Abhi picked Pragya up and he also danced with her in his arms.

The family were all tired after the days activites and everyone went to bed. 

Two days later, Preeta had to rush to the hospital for a patient on the way to the hospital while she was on the phone speaking to Karan explaining that she left in a rush, a car banged into them, the driver exited to check while Preeta explained what had happened to Karan.

Preetas driver: " Sir, look at the damage, what have you done".

The other cars driver got very violent with Preetas driver and grabbed  him by his collar, threatening him, when Preeta saw this she also exited the car and she was shocked.

Preeta: " Prithvi, let go of him the fault was yours"

Prithvi on hearing Preetas voice got happy, he had not seen her for a long time and immediately left the driver and went to her.

Prithvi: " Preetaji, how are you, I havent seen you in sucha long time".

Preeta: " Excuse me, you knocked into our car and then behave badly after its your fault and now you making random  conversation, are you missing a screw in your head".

Prithvi didnt hear a word she said he was lost in her, she stepped closer to her and reached out to touch her, while Preeta stepped back. " Preetaji. You are so beautiful" 😍😍 he said

Madly he grabbed her hand taking her to his car and opened the door. But as he pulled her to push her inside someone grabbed her hand from the other side while someone kicked him in his back.

Preeta turned to see Karan and hugged him tight. On the other side Abhi and Arjun were smacking Prithvi.

Arjun: " Pree, are you okay, did you get hurt ".

Preeta: " Bhai I am fine".

Abhi: " You Prithvi Malhotra stay away from my sister in law".

Prithvi: " Never, shes only mine and this two bit cricketer stole her, Preetaji, tell him you dont love him right".

Karan: " Oh you ape, dont speak to my wife" Karan punched him.

The 3 of them told the driver that someone would help him get to the garage and they took Preeta and left.

Karan: " Babydoll, are you okay, did you get hurt anywhere, lets go to the hospital".

Preeta: " Karan, Im okay, It was a minor crash, but yes please I have to go to see my patient at the hospital".

Karan: " What, No you had an accident, some other doctor will see to the patient, wait I will inform Vin".

Preeta knew better than to argue with him so she asked.

Preeta: " But how did you know where I was".

Karan: " That you need to ask your brother, I was leaving the house after you told me and I saw him and Jiju, I explained and he said lets go".

Preeta: " Bhai".

Arjun: " You dont worry about that, all the matters is that you are safe, and why did you go without Karan, Pragya di warned that no one must leave the house alone right ".

Preeta: " Yes, but he was still busy and I needed to go to the hospital urgently so i left with the driver".

Abhi: " Preeta, you could have asked any of us right, think what could have happened if we didnt arrive here on time".

Preeta: " Wo, Im sorry Bhai, Jiju, Karan".

Abhi: " Its okay, but when you get home, you better think about how you will convince your sister".

True to her Jijus words when they got home, her sisters all of them were pacing outside the front door, each of them taking her in an embrace.

Pragya: " Pree, I asked you not to leave alone right, why dont you listen, Im trying to keep you safe."

Preeta: " Im sorry Di" she said close to tears to see how worried her sister was.

Pragya: " Please,  this goes for everyone until our enemies are out of the way, just listen to me, anyway please come to the conference room, I have something for you all. "

In the conference she handed each couple a box...

Disha and Rishabh

Sameer and Shristi

Purab and Bulbul

Karan and Preeta

Vin and Ruchika

Arjun and Kritika.

Shristi: " Wow Di this is beautiful".

Ruchika: " Yes its awesome. "

Kritika: " Thank you Pragya di".

Pragya: " Yes now listen to me everyone,  I want you to always wear these watches, or I will assume you all dont like the gift"

Everyone said they would always wear it. She also gave them....

After everyone promising her they would never remove their gifts they all left to join the family for supper.

They were all gathered in the living area, while Pragya was lost in thought.

PRAGYA POV: I was meant to give them these things days ago. Today's incident  was out of my control,  Thank God I installed those car trackers, or Prithvi could have escaped with my sister, but what can I do,  I Cant rush the plan or it may put them in danger, I just have to remain more alert, I must speak to Sid.

Suddenly she felt a slight pain in her stomach she shouted.  Everyone rushed to her.

Abhi: " Fuggy, whats wrong are you okay, why did you scream".

Pragya: " Wo Suniye, sorry the baby's kicked, it was just new to me".

Abhi: " What they kicked let me feel".

He placed his hands on her belly, she had a slight belly bump but it wasnt noticable as she always wore those umbrella suits. He didn't feel anything.

Abhi: " Hi Princess, This is your Papa, please kick for me".

And ever so slightly he felt a small nudge.

Abhi: " Fuggy they kicked, see I told you its a Princess"  he was very excited. 

Meanwhile all the sisters too wanted to feel the kicks but the babies didnt kick no matter how much they  coaxed them. They only kicked when Abhi spoke to them. Pragya laughed at their disappointment stating that obviously they were Daddys babies.

While the guys left to have some guy time. The sisters and the Luthra girls all sat together having some girl time.

They discussed the excitement of the upcoming wedding.

Pragya: " So Ruchika, when are you going to tell everyone about you and Vin.  "

The girls looked between Ruchika and Pragya.

Kritika: " Roo, you didnt even tell me" ...

Pragya: " Oho Kritika, when are you going to confess to Arjun".

Kritika: " No Di, its nothing like that" .

Bulbul: " Really, even I noticed you and Bhai".

Disha/Preeta/Shristi/ Ruchika. " Haan hum bi".

Kritika turned scarlet and the others giggled.

Pragya:"  dont worry girls your secret is safe, I was just curious to know when you proposing "

Ruchika: " Wo Di, Vin and I we decided we will wait a while until internship is completed".

Pragya: Okay thats fair.

Kritika: " I dont think Arjun likes me ".

Pragya: " No that's not true, he is just afraid because of the past" .

All: " The past".

Pragya: " Look I won't speak about it with you as Arjun is my brother too, but its just a little harder for him to trust, Im sure he will eventually tell you himself when he is ready".

Everyone agreed with her and they all left to find their partners to go to bed. 

Leap of 2 months. 

At Malhotra/ Luthra mansion.

Sherlyn: " Prithvi what do you mean we lost everything".

Prithvi: " Sherlyn baby, the company was doing badly ever since the take over,  we were not making any money so I approached Mr Khanna for a loan,  he have me a month to turn things around, after that he even extended for a few weeks but I made a bad deal and lost everything. "

Sherlyn: " You idiot, after all the things we
Did to get the Luthras property, you go and loose everything".

Prithvi: " What its also your fault, you kept that Mahira here and she and her mother were spending the money, you are also at fault, I warned you too not get them involved."

The two of them fought with each other.
