"What are you searching for so long,Zara?"Khusbu asked ,her voice sounded annoyed.

"I'm not finding my blue dupatta."I said frustratedly while searching for it in my cupboard .

"Take the yellow dupatta then.It also goes with your dress. "She suggested.

"No." I shook my head ."I'll take the blue one only.That suits more."I said as I kept on searching.My cupboard had become a mess by then.

"Okay,you step aside ,let me check."She said as she jumped out of the bed and came to me.

"Yes,please."I stepped aside and let her take the charge.

They says right that when you are in a hurry to go somewhere , some problem will definitely arise at that time to make you late.

The same was happening with me.We were going to meet my would be sister-in-law,Saba and her family for the first time this afternoon .Everyone had gotten ready already and here I was busy to find the matching dupatta of my salwar kameez . It's been more than 10 minutes since I was searching for it in my cupboard .

"You were looking for this one?"She asked,turning toward me within a minute.

"Yes,this one."I exclaimed, beaming with a smile .

"Thank you. "I took the dupatta from her hand and draped it around my neck.

"Yeah..yeah.Welcome."she said while walked past me .

"Now get ready quickly."she added as she sat on the edge of the bed and got busy with her phone again.

I nodded and moved towards the dressing table.I applied some light make up on my face,wore eyeliner,mascara and dusty pink lipstick. I,first thought to do a french braid but then kept my hair open as it suits me more.And finally I was ready to go.

Getting ready,Khusbu and I came downstairs.Misha and Farhan Bhai were already there, talking over something.

"Zara,Khusbu!You both see and tell me how am I looking in this outfit? Should I change it and wear something else?"He asked as soon as he noticed us.

I checked him out .He was dressed in a white shirt and blue breasted blazer with black jeans and shoe.And he was looking very good in it .

"Bhai,you're looking very handsome ."I said sincerely.

"Yes,bhai.You really are."Khusbu said in agreement."No need to change."

"See ,I told you so."Misha said , nudging him slightly with her elbow.

"I just hope her family will like me too."he mumbled with a nervous smile .

I could understand he was very nervous,he was bound to.After all he was going to meet his in-laws for the first time.

"My brother is one in a million.Of course,they will.Why won't they?"Misha said encouragingly.

"Yes,Bhai .Everything will be fine.Don't worry. "I assured him.He nodded , giving us a subtle smile.

Uncle and Aunty came in a while and we got into the car and headed to our destination. Khusbu,Misha and I was in one car and Uncle , aunty and Farhan bhai ; they were in another car .And our car kept following their's as only bhai knew their address.

After an hour both car stopped in front of a big iron gate.Within a minute the door cracked opened and our cars moved again and entered into the boundary of their house.

There was a well maintained lawn in front of the house .In the centre of the lawn has a water fountain that increasing the beauty of that lawn.

And the house was unapologetically modern and classy.It was a duplex house,painted in a white color, rectangular in shape and well proportioned.

Our cars stopped in front of the entrance door and we got down .

Two middle aged man and one woman were waiting to welcome us, standing just to the left of the door.

We greeted each other and entered into their house .

Inside the house,two woman welcomed us .One of them are in her 40's and another one in her 60's or 70's ,I guess.

Gosh!It's like the entire family came from a modelling company.All the men and women I'd met till then;they were very good looking even the old woman.No wonder Saba,my would be sister-in-law is so beautiful.

Yes,I have seen her but only in photos.

We all took our seat in living room and then everyone introduced themselves and exchanged pleasantries.

The old woman was sister-in-law Saba's grandmother .She has two son and Saba is the daughter of her younger son.That's all I could understand from their long family introduction.

"Go and bring her."As far I could remember the introduction,he who spoke wad my would be sister-in-law's father .And to whom he said is his wife means sister-in-law's mother.

The woman nodded and headed upstairs to bring her.

The elders continued having a conversation in a friendly and cordial atmosphere.It seems the old woman is the head of their family because among them she was the one who mostly talking with Uncle, Aunty and Farhan bhai.

Their conversation went on and on .And the whole time Misha , Khusbu and I were silently listening to them.

To be honest I was dying of boredom hearing their talks on family, business,children and most of the boring stuffs.

So after a time , I stopped listening to their conversation and started gazing around .

The living room where we were sitting right now and is very open, very large and richly furnished.It 's quite noticeable that they are very rich than us.

There was a crystal chandelier hang above our head that glorying the whole room.It was very big and beautiful and its crystal teardrops like small golden suns.

While I was observing the chandelier suddenly I saw something from the corner of my eyes and instantly my eyes flickered from the chandelier to that direction which is the second floor's corridor.

And my eyes wide opened as I saw Aabir walking over there.

I got baffled thinking that as to how and when I did become so obsessed with him that I've started imagining him .

'No,No,Zara!You can't let him control over your mind.You can't let him.'Scolding myself in mind,I closed my eyes and shook my head , hoping that when I open my eyes he would be gone.

But when I open my eyes ,he is still there, this time coming down the stairs.

'What the hell is going on with me?Am I becoming insane?'I doubted my sanity.

At that precise moment I felt Misha stiffen who is sitting at my right side.I looked at her and found her staring at his direction with livid disbelief.

I frowned,measuring her expression.Because if it's my imagination then Misha couldn't see him.And if she is seeing him then he couldn't be my imagination.

'Is he really here then?But what is he doing here?'I was in utter confusion.

While I was staring at him and trying to figure out what's going on with me, suddenly his eyes flashed over to meet mine .

And he paused on mid staircase as surprise flitted across his face.

A moment later his expression became composed and he came down the remaining stairs .

And when he came before us,Misha stood abruptly .

"What are you doing here?"She asked glaring at him fiercely and everyone got startled at her sudden reaction.

So even I because I didn't thought she would react like this in front of everyone.

"That's my home."Aabir replied to her and before I could register his words in my mind and could understand what he said ,the elder son of their family spoke.

"He is my son Aabir Ahmed."

He is..what?...son?

My mouth hung open in shock as I wasn't expecting him to turned out to be the member of this family.

"What's wrong,Misha?Do you know him?"Uncle's words came into my ears and that put a full stop in my thoughts.

I quickly recovered myself from the shock and looked at Uncle only to find him staring at Misha being confused.

I shifted my gaze to Misha who was standing being dumbfounded.

Everyone's questioning eyes were on her,waiting for her answer.So,I thought to give answer on her behalf.

"We study at the same college."I said.

"We are friends."It was Aabir.

"We know eachother."Misha said.

We ,three gave different answer at the same time and then stared at one another.

"You all know one another !"Aabir's father mumbled,his eyes raised in surprise.

"Yes,dad.We study at the same college and.... "Aabir paused in mid sentence and shifted his gaze from his father to us.

"...we all are very good friends."he completed his sentence,making me frown at him.

'Oh!Really?We are friends ?That too good ones?Since when?

Cause as far I know Misha doesn't like you.Khusbu and you hardly have a one or two line conversation .And we both ?Well ,we aren't even on talking terms let alone friendship.'

I wanting so much to throw these words on his face but can't because of the place and situation.I only could rolled my eyes at him on his statement .

"It's good to know that you all are friends ."his grandmother said then.

"But I don't understand one thing ,why did you react like this upon seeing him?"she asked looking at Misha ,with a suspicion of a frown upon her brow.

"Actually ,We were not expecting him to be here.Thats why,when he suddenly appeared before us,Misha got surprised and reacted like this.Nothing else"Khusbu replied on behalf of her.There's an wry smile on her face.

"Yeah,she is right..I ..I was very surprised to see him."Misha said,smiling nervously.

"But you looked more angry than surprised "his grandma said.

Augh!Why is she dragging it unnecessarily?

"Umm.. Actually..I.."Misha is looking for words.

"Look,Dii(elder sister) is here."Aabir exclaimed suddenly,making us all noticed that Saba has appeared here along with her mother.

Her arrival did put a full stop in this topic as everyone's attention diverted to her.

When my eyes fall on her ,I got awestruck .She is more beautiful than the picture brother had shown us.She is dressed in a white Anarkali dress and looking heavenly beautiful in it.

"Assalamu Alaikum" she greeted us with a sweet smile on her face.

"Walaikum Assalam."we all replied together.

"Come and sit here with me,dear."Aunty said .

She nodded her head and sat beside her.

"MashaAllah, You're looking very beautiful ."Aunty said,adoring her face and she blushed .

"Really,You're truly beautiful.No wonder Farhan bhai has become crazy for you."Misha said, making her blush more.

Farhan bhai glared at Misha for making him feel embarrassed but she didn't care at all.

Aunty continued talking to her and asked her some questions about her qualifications, interests,cooking skills etc and she answered all the questions timidly.We, three also talked to her in between.Honestly speaking I liked her very much.Farhan bhai has a good taste,I must admit it.

"I think we know why we all are here."spoke Aabir's grandma with a demure smile on her face getting into the main point.

She continued"We know that both children like eachother and want to spend their life together.And for that they want our permission."

"You know what?Nowadays ,childrens doesn't give importance to their parents or family's consent in this matter.Infact,sometimes they get married without informing their parents and hurt their feelings."Uncle paused and moving his gaze between bhai and bhabi for a moment ,he continued "But our children didn't do anything like this.They told us everything about their relationship and seek our consent."

Sister-in-law's father spoke this time"Saba has told us everything about Farhan. We've also inquired in our way.And we've found nothing wrong in him or your family.So,from our side, there's no problem to make this alliance as we believe that she will be happy in your family."

"We also don't have any problem to make this alliance.There's a 'YES' from our side too ."Uncle said . Aunty nodded in support of his statement.

At that moment ,I don't know anyone else notice it or not but I did see that Farhan bhai looked up at his would be wife and winked at her,having a playful smile on his face.In return she rolled her eyes at him.

I chuckled silently ,noticing them.

The elders carried on their discussion regarding their marriage.

During this period,my eyes were looking at anything but him so I couldn't tell if Aabir is looking at me or not.

"Doesn't that seem a little too soon?"Aunty interrupted when they proposed a date for engagement ceremony and wedding.

"We shouldn't waste time for auspicious thing.The sooner the better."Aabir's father said.

"What do you say ,Farhan ?"Uncle asked looking at bhai for his opinion before confirming anything .

"I am okay with it."Bhai answered,a smile lit up his face.

"What about you,dear?"his eyes shifted to my soon to be sister-in-law.

"Are you okay with it?"he asked her.

She smiled and nodded with a slight blush, giving her approvement.

Everyone's face brightened with a broad smile.

"Then it's confirm.Their engagement will take place one week later and wedding after one month."Aabir's grandma declared and the rest of us nodded our head in agreement.

I want to jump in joy.So did Misha and Khusbu.But we can't do that at that time,so we three held one another's hand and grinned widely to express our happiness.

"Have some sweets."If I'm not mistaken it's Aabir's mother,who spoke .

She took a plate of sweets from the glass table which is placed in front us .The table id full of various snacks ,fruits and sweets items.I must say they've done well arrangements for our hospitality.

Everyone fed sweets to eachother and hugged.

Everyone is very happy .And among us, the most happiest person are Farhan bhai and Saba bhabi.Why wouldn't they ?After all they are getting married to the person they love.

Misha is slightly off though and I know the reason is Aabir.Since the moment she got to know that he is one of the member of their family ,she is sulking.

I still have no idea what's her problem with him, it's still mysterious to me.

Anyway,later on,We did dinner at their house and then headed back home happily.

On our way back to home ,Misha and Khusbu are discussing about engagement ceremony like what to wear , making a list of what to buy and some other stuffs.

Meanwhile, I am just gazing out the window and thinking about today's happening.

Wasn't it strange?I mean,One day before I was thinking to stay away from Aabir and decided to not keep any kind of connection with him.And now he is going to become a part of my family..of my life.

Of all the girls in this world my brother fall in love with his sister!

What a Coincidence!

But it says 'Coincidence is a signal ,a message from the universe which lead us towards our true destiny.'

What it actually should be called then ? Coincidence or destiny? Or mix of both.

Whatever it was,what it actually wanted?Why it was connecting both of us?

My mind was full of these questions and I was clueless about the answers .
