Here goes the first chapter.

Do shower the love and support guys.

Avoid mistakes if any mistakes.

Life is unpredictable. That's what everyone says but believing ut or not depends on individuals perspectives. Individual's experience changes the meaning of life, some may be happy some may be sad. Unn palon choti choti khushiyaan dhundhna sabke bas ki baat nahi hai.

We need some moments to live a happy life whether you are single or mingled. The small small jokes cracked among the youngesters and elders brings out more light.

The same thing was happening in the Malhotra house right now. All the youngsters were sitting in the balcony on a mattress with popcorns and light music going around.

"Aur tujhe pata hai, uss din Mahak ne jo pitayi ki uss bande ki. Wahh! Dun utha ke bhaga woh. " All laughed remembering the old days. Mahak the younger daughter of Mahesh Malhotra and Yamini Malhotra. She is the barbie doll of the house and is very sensitive but agression is filled like her father.

"Btw, you didn't tell me Cabir you would return so early." Mahak said making him smile. Cabir Saxena, her elder brother's friend, a crackhead basically. Also a sharp business man.

"Well, I wanted to surprise mom. And had to meet up aunty as well. Unke ladle bete ne khat jo bheja hai." Listening him Mahak's eyes twinkled. She looked at her mother who just came and heard Cabir.

"Really? Kya bheja hai bhai ne? You know I don't want to talk to him but still I love him." Cabir handed the letter to Mahak who read it loud so that everyone can hear her.

They had tears in their eyes. The feeling of being away yet close is what this letter gave. Mahak looked at her mother and asked

"Bhai ne aisi job kyun choose ki mumma? He is so cruel. Kab aa jate hai aur kab chale jate hai kuch nahi pata chalta. I miss him mumma." She hugged her mother tightly who patted her and pecked it.

"Well, you know your brother is unique Mahak. And you should be proud that he is protecting everyone over there." Cabir said with a smile and looked down. He also misses his friend who doesn't even bother to tell him he is gonna attack him with surprises like this one.

Cabir has the habit, when he receives the letter from Manik. He gives it directly to his family without bothering to read it. He considers this family as his and so does everyone. To have the family moment he never barged the privacy.

"Oho! Chachi, bas kijiye aur chaliye khana khane. Thanda ho raha hai khana." There stood Rhea Malhotra cousin of Mahak and Manik Malhotra. She is as old as Mahak and bubbly girl. Everyone loves her personality for the way she carries it.

"Chalo, Cabir chal. Thand mein jam mat jana tum." Mahesh Malhotra said to which everyone chuckled. Being in Delhi it gets complicated due to the weather. Everyone enters inside and enjoy their dinner but everyone hand a common thing this time. The bright smile on their lips was never leaving it.

"Mrs. Anusha Mehta, aap kya kar rahi ho?" A very strict voice brought the girl out of her world who was relishing the ice cream tub.

Anusha Mehta is thr daughter-in-law of Mehta house. She is the pride of the house. Being the only daughter-in-law she was pampered to no level plus being heavily pregnant nobody bothered to correct her.

The cravings had led her to kitchen today and now being caught by ger sister-in-law means scolding. Eveb though Anusha is her elder brother's wife Nandini never called her as bhabhi. Anusha herself told her to not to call her as bhabhi as she is of the same age of her.

"Nandu, woh main...bas aise hi." She stammered to which she sighed and took the ice cream and kept in the fridge.

"Anusha, stop eating ice cream at this hour. You will fall sick badly, already you are 8 months pregnant. You cannot take a risk." Nandini said and helped her to walk back to her room.

"Sorry, it's just the cravings. Tumhare nephew ko bas khana hi pasand hai just like his/her father. Huh!" Anusha complained making Nandini leave a scoff.

"Okay, but now just sleep. Tomorrow you have an appointment to go for. I don't want any complications. You know na how your husband/my brother is. He will get hyper with every little situation. Chalo, sleep now. I need to go early tomorrow. Good night." Nandini made her lie down and went inside her room to have a good night sleep.

Nandini Mehta, daughter of Amisha Mehta and Rajesh Mehta. Her elder brother Hriday Mehta is very protective. With life she has got the best parents and brother. Soon she eill be embracing new relationship of aunt.

Next morning

Nandini came down getting ready in jeans and top to start her day. Her mother was there waiting for her daughter so that they can have their morning tea. Nandini made sure she accompanied her mother in the morning tea.

"Good morning mumma." She hugged her mother and settled beside her.

"Aaj jaldi ja rahi ho?" Her mother asked seeing the time.

"Yeah, I need to be in the examination section today. Today is the final exam na. So that's why. Vaise mumma, bhai ko yaad karva dena he has to take Anusha to the doctor today." Her mother nodded and lovingly stared at her.

"Beta, Sujata ji aayi thi kal. Unhone kisi ka rishta laya hai tere liye." Listening her mother Nandini stopped in her tracks. She waited for her mother to finish further.

"Beta, they are from reputed family. Unka beta ek hotel ka manager hai. He had decided to leave his family business and start earning on his own. Uska naam, Amish Mishra hai. Woh shayad 29 hai. Tum chaho toh usse mil sakti ho. Agar woh pasand aaye toh hum baat aage badha denge."

She kept quiet. Didn't know what to say. She felt the piercing gaze of her father who had came long back. She was in delima right now.

"When do I have to meet him mumma?" She asked giving them small smile which brought a bit smile on their face.

"If, aaj free ho toh you can meet him around 4:30. He will meet you in Desernts N more." Her mother informed and she bobbed her head. Bidding bye to her parents she left for her work with too much in her head. Right now the only thing she wanted to focus was the examination section.

The correction of the papers was done in the examination section. It was already 4 clock. She decided to freshen up and leave for the date.

When she reached the Deserts N more, he was already present there. She ahd recognized him as her mother had sent the photo. She smiled and settled opposite to him.

"Hello, how are you?" He asked forwarding his hand instead of taking his hand she just smiled and replied

"I'm fine. Hope you are doing good too." He awkwardly took the hand back and settled properly.

They spoke for few minutes and again went off. The whole silence was awkward. The pindrop silence was eating up Nandini. She knew better what she wanted rather than wasting her time. She decied to leave and he immediately let her go.

The right person is yet to come. The destiny will play it's role without blinking anything. Nandini reached her home and her mother was eagerly waiting for her reply.

"Maa, we don't match at all. He is like old to me. He doesn't know how to make me feel comfortable. And I don't know how to handle his personality. So it's no from my side. Agar meri zindagi mein koi likha hoga na mumma toh woh aa jayega. Aap tension mat lo." Patting her cheeks Nandini went to her room to change.

Nandini's mother sighed and looked at her daughter-in-law who just entered in the hall. She smiled and they both got engrossed to have their evening talks with the baby.

*****

The pindrop silence in the house could make anyone scared. But it's not that silent as everyone is busy in doing their evening prayer. Malhotra's had this concept for praying to the Almighty in the evening. Hence the whole house if silent.

At this point, a person enters the house without making any noise. Keeping his luggage down he moves directly to the small temple that they have in the corner and settles beside his sister who has her eyes closed.

After few minutes they all were done. Mahak, opens her eyes and feeling someones presence she turns her attention to the person only to get shock.

"Bhaiiiiiii!!!!" She jumps on him making him lie down. Listening her shout all of their attention shifted to them.

"Oye! Chutki hatt, moti ho gayi hai tu." Everyone were happy seeing nearly a year later. His parents were happy with tears in eyes. His sisters were happy. They helped him to get up.

"Bataya kyun nahi tune ki aaj aane wala hai?" His mother asked cupping his face. He smiled and pecked her hand which was on his face.

"Agar bata deta toh aapka yeh khila khila chera dekhne nahi milta. Bahut muss kiya aap sabko." He said with tears making all cry. They all hugges him.

"Ja fresh ho ja Mahak ke kamre mein. Tera room thoda ganda hai abhi bhi." His mother said to which he bobbed his head and went to his sister's room. Her sister wanted to follow him but held back, knowing that he needs privacy right now.

Inside the room Manik threw himself on the bed smiled brightly. Being in this house after almost a year is something different. He soon freshen up and went down to have dinner.

He was fed well by his both the mothers. His sisters were teasing him. The only person who was admiring is none other than Mahesh Malhotra. No matter what seeing his son back after so long brings out the best emotions of anyone.

"Bhai! Aapko pata hai, maine na ek bande ki dhulayi ki."

"Woh! Tu kabse rowdy ban gayi? Aur kyun dhulayi ki tune?" He asked all surprised. His sister smiled sheepishly and replied.

"Woh, he was misbehaving with one of my class mate." Manik nodded and took her in a hug. He knows she has missed him alot. The family is complete when everyone member is present fulfilling their duty being a support system.

How was it?

I tried to write something. Hopefully it's worth it.

See you soon.
