I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider🕷️, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind!

Yuvraj's POV

The haldi ceremony, 20th Dec
11:02AM IST

Umaid Bhawan Palace, Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

Glancing at Mia time to time, I hold her hand in mine. She was still angry at me from yesterday and it all happened because of my stupidity. If I wouldn't have told her about the proposal thing, she wouldn't be having any idea about it ever. But the exact opposite happened. Now she is angry and isn't responding to me since forever.

God! I hate this ignorance of her!!

Sighing I went up to Shree and Sid with her and applied some turmeric paste first on Shree and then literally bathed Sid with the paste. He groaned and scowled at me whilst I smirked.

"Your time will come Raj! And trust me I won't be sparing you at all!" He said.

"We'll see!" I said smirking before walking back to my place.

"Attention guys! So the bride's bestfriends have made a special surprise performance for her! And I am presenting you me, Mia and Samaira!" Armaan announced out of nowhere.

I saw Sam and Mia shooting Armaan a thumbs up and got their positions beside him.

Song - Mumbai Delhi di Kudiyan

Girls girls girls
You know that I wanna party all night
You know that I wanna party

You know that I want girls girls girls
You know that I wanna party all night

Har or mash-hoor

Akk jayein sab choor
Teri masti khatam nahi hondiyan

Dil mein bhara hai aise
Disco disco disco disco
Paani pyara ho jaise fish ko
Jabse dekha hai maine tujhko
Tab se lagta mujhko
Poori karne aayi hai wish ko

Wish tere saste yeh rakh tere baste mein
Aaya kahan se nikal apne raste pe
Tujh jaise fukkron ki mere peechhe toliyan
Raat bhar nahi sondiyan

Nahi sabke hi bas ki
Yeh kaliyan alag mere zone diyan
Na na main rukkdi na mukkdi hai
Battery vi mere phone diyan
Haan haan..

Maine suna hai Mumbai Dilli diyan kudiyaan
Raat bhar nahi sondiyan
Maine suna hai Mumbai Dilli diyan kudiyaan
Raat bhar nahi sondiyan

Girls girls girls
Raat bhar nahi sondiyan x (3)

The trio danced so gracefully but all the time my eyes were on Mia! She was a perfect dancer! She could have a really good career through her dance skills too! Man! She is talented! Very very much talented!

After the dance everybody clapped and I also clapped with a wide smile and proud covering my heart knowing that the talented girl is all mine. What I didn't like is Armaan and her closeness. Maybe! He is her bestfriend but my heart didn't get the proper rest knowing a guy is close to my girl, that too her bestfriend!

We all went back to our rooms after the ceremony was over and freshened up for lunch.

02:15PM IST

Currently we were all sitting on the dining table and eating our lunch when I noticed Mia. She was looking beautiful in her blue white dress! But that wasn't the only thing I noticed.

But I wasn't the only one who did, even Sam, Abhimanyu and her parents did! She was wincing slightly whilst tapping her head in between. Mia was sitting on my right side and Sam was on her right. So I think only I and Sam heard her winces. And she wasn't even eating her food properly. She was just playing on her plate.

Putting my fork down, I turned around to face her.

"Mia! Are you fine?" I asked grabbing a hold of her hand.

She looked at me frowning but when she noticed I was looking at her hand which was holding her head she nodded.

"Yeah I am okay! I am okay! Just a slight headache! That's all!" She said.

I frowned.

"Headache? But you were alright in the morning! What happened to you all of a sudden princess?" Abhi asked in concern.

Her parents and everyone on the dining table except for Hina (who was rolling her eyes and kept eating her food) looked at her in concern. I clenched my jaw because of her behaviour towards my girl.

She seriously needs to learn a lesson!

"I am all fine dada! It's just a minor headache! I will be alright after some rest! So please excuse me guys!" She said getting up from her seat.

"But you didn't eat anything beta!" Rani ma said in concern.

"No Rani ma! Actually I am not hungry! I will eat later! I just need some rest now!" Mia said apologising.

"No problem Mia! You shall go and take some rest!" Veer said.

Nodding her head she went out of the dining hall. I too got up from my seat.

"I will check on her!" I said and left the hall before anyone start interrogating me.

I saw Mia walking up the stairs whilst clutching her head with one hand and her other hand was holding the railing. Rushing up to her, I picked her up in my arms in bridal style making her yelp in shock. She visibly relaxed when she saw my face but then glared at me making me smile sheepishly.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" She whisper-yelled.

"Not happening babe!" I said with a smirk and ascended upstairs.

Sighing she snuggled close to my chest making my inner beast awe at her. I finally reached her room and kicked the door open with my foot. Skipping inside, I gently laid her down on the bed and covered her with the duvet till her stomach. Placing my palm on her forehead to check her temperature, I sighed in relief when I found her body temperature was normal. She was looking at me amusingly.

"What?" I asked pushing my urge to roll my eyes.

"You know! I am the doctor here not the other way around!" She said teasingly.

I rolled my eyes this time.

"I know that very well! And just because I don't have a medicine degree that doesn't mean I don't even know the basic things!" I said.

She smirked more making me groan. I sat beside her and hold her one hand.

"No more talking! Now sleep baby!" I said pressing my palm on her forehead, massaging it tenderly.

"You don't need to do t-!" I cut her off.

"Shh! Shut up and close your eyes or I know other ways to make you sleep!" I said smirking.

She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Eh! What's those ways?" She asked with a bit of fright lacing in her voice.

"You'll see!" I said smirking.

She cocked her eyebrows. I made a pouty face and leaned close to her making her eyes wide. She squealed out loud and closed her eyes in a second.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! I've closed my eyes!" She said hurriedly making me laugh out loud.

She huffed out loud and pouted her lips whilst her eyes were still closed. Smirking I leaned down and pecked her pouted lips making her gasp and her eyes flew open.

"You cheated!" She said.

"I didn't baby! It was just the trailer, if your eyes would have been opened j would have kissed the hell out of you!" I said huskily.

Her eyes widened and she pushed me back making me laugh again.

"Ugh! You're so blunt!" She said clutching her head again.

Sighing I massaged her head.

"Shh! Enough talking! Now sleep meri jaan! You need it!" I said pressing her forehead.

She hummed and closed her eyes. I massaged her head whilst occassionally pecking her palm and knuckles. After sometime I felt her steady breaths making me sure that she is asleep. Pecking her forehead, I got up and left the room before closing the door softly behind me. I was descending down the stairs when I saw Devina aunty coming up. I gave her a smile and she smiled back at me.

"How is Mia now?" She asked.

"Don't worry aunty! I gave her a head massage and currently she is sleeping! And I am going to make something healthy for her as she didn't eat her lunch!" I said.

"That's so thoughtful of you beta! But you don't need to do that! I will make something for her!" Devina aunty said patting my arm.

"No aunty! I want to make something for her and trust me I know how to cook! You can ask mum or bhabhi tho! So can I?" I asked with hope.

She smiled and nodded.

"Sure you can! And I trust you, I don't need to ask anyone! And I must say my princess is so lucky to have someone like you in her life who loves her this much!" She said proudly.

"Trust me aunty! It's the other way around! I am lucky to have her!" I said.

"Okay okay fine! You both are lucky to have eachother! Okay? Now here! This is for her headache! Give her after her meal with lemon water! She doesn't take her medicines with water that's why!" She said giving me the medicines.

I nodded and went downstairs to the kitchen whilst putting the medicine in my trouser pocket. Entering the kitchen, i saw Rani ma giving some instructions to the maids.

"Rani ma!" I called her.

She turned around and gave me a smile.

"Yuvraj! Do you need anything bete?" She asked.

"Actually yes Rani ma! I want to cook something healthy for Mia! So can I use your kitchen?" I asked.

"Of course you can Yuvraj! You don't need to ask! But you can tell them and they will make the food for Mia!" Rani ma said pointing at the cooks.

"No Rani ma! I want to make something from her by myself! So can I?" I asked.

"Sure beta! You can. They will help you with finding the ingredients! Now I will take my leave!" She said.

I nodded and she left.

"Um! I think I will make some vegetable fried rice so can you guys give me..."

After 45 minutes

"Done!" I breathed out as I put the bowl in the tray with the lemon water.

"Thank you for your help guys!" I said and made my way out of the kitchen.

Walking up the stairs, I finally reached Mia's room. Slowly opening the door with my foot, I balanced the tray and went inside. I saw Mia still asleep with her mouth slightly open.

Awh isn't my baby looking so cute?! God! From when did I start to gush like girl?

Placing the tray on the bedside table, I took out my phone from my pocket and clicked some pictures of her. And man! She looked cute!

Putting my phone aside, I sat beside her and caressed her hairs.

"Mia! Get up meri jaan! You need to take your medicine!" I whispered pecking her cheek.

She stirred and slowly opened her eyes with a frown.

"Yuvi! What happened?" She croaked out.

Looks like she didn't hear me properly!

"I said get up and eat your food. Then you will be having your medicine!" I said.

She scrunched up her nose making her face look more cute. And it took the hell out of me for not grabbing her and kissing her senselessly.

"Uh! But I am not hungry!" She said.

"I know baby! But you need to eat something to have your medicines right! And I have made something special for you! So won't you eat it?" I asked with puppy eyes.

Love sick puppy!

"You made it for me?" She asked.

"Yes! Now get up or it's going to get cold!" I said and helped her to get up.

I put some pillows behind her head to adjust her body and she leaned back on the headrest. I sat beside her and picked up the bowl.

"Fried rice!" She exclaimed happily.

I nodded with a smile and took a spoon full of the veggie fried rice. I brought the spoon infront of her mouth.

"Come on! Open your mouth!" I said.

"Are you going to feed me now? You know I have a headache only! I didn't have an accident!" She said teasingly.

"Talk less and open your mouth!" I said again.

She parted her mouth and I shoved the spoon inside her mouth. She closed her eyes taking the taste and moaned.

"Wow Yuvi! This is so delicious!" She said opening her eyes.

"Thank you babe! Here!" I said and fed her again.

After 10 minutes, she finished the whole bowl and I was happy that she had some food in her stomach. Putting the bowl down, I took a napkin and wiped her mouth. Then picking the lemon water and medicines up, I gave her the tablet.

"Here! Devina aunty gave me those and told me to feed you after you had something!" I said.

She nodded and gulped the tablet down with the lemon water.

"How are you feeling now? Is there much pain in your head!" I asked sitting beside her.

"No! Not much actually! Now I'm feeling better! Thanks to you for that Yuvraj!" She said with a smile.

I smiled and pecked her forehead.

"Anything for my Mia! Now come on, take some rest so the medicine will work faster! I will come later to check upon you!" I said tucking her inside the duvet.

She nodded and slept. After she was asleep, I took the tray and went downstairs.

04:34PM IST

There were no functions tomorrow so I thought to take Mia outside in the fresh air to freshen up her mood and she will feel a bit better. So here we are roaming around the park with pretty flowers everywhere. Mia was wearing a and she looked absolutely beautiful in that. I have my fingers intertwined with her whilst we walked through. She is grinning like a happy child and watching the flowers and the beautiful sight around her. But my eyes were stuck at her beautiful face and her breathtaking smile. She was talking about something and from her grinning face I knew it was something good but I couldn't hear any word of her. I just can't wait to call this girl mine officialy infront of the whole world.

"Yuvi!" I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard her calling me.

"Uh yeah! Yes Mia?" I said.

She narrowed her eyes at me making me smile sheepishly at her.

"You didn't hear me right?" She stopped and turned to me scowling and crossed her arms infront of her.

Shit!

"Sorry babe! I was awestruck seeing your beautiful smile so..!" I said making her roll her eyes.

"Whatever! I was saying that I want to eat panipuri!" She said pointing towards left.

My eyes widened when I saw it was a panipuri stall but it was just by the road. I shook my head furiously.

"No way! Don't be like my mum and bhabhi! These are not good for health! You're a doctor yourself and you should know about it more than me! No way I am going to let you eat those that too when you just fell sick in the afternoon!" I said in a serious tone.

She puffed her cheeks and stomped her feet making me look amusingly at her.

Man! She looks cute! And her cheeks, they looked so pink like a strawberry! I so wanted to bite her cheeks!

"No no no! I want to eat them and I'll! With or without you!" She said scowling.

She turned around and walked away from me and towards the panipuri stall.

"MIAAA! YOU CANNOT DO THAT!" I screamed running behind her.

Turning around she screamed in return.

"I CAN AND I WILL!"

She didn't stop and ran towards the stall with me running behind her. I reached to the stall where she was grinning at the panipuri widely.

"So! Atlast you agreed with me!" She said teasingly.

I couldn't help but groan.

"Bhaiya! Do plate panipuri! Ek teekha and ek-!" She said and turned to me cocking her eyebrow.

Translation -"Brother! Two plates of panipuri please! One should be spicy and another-!"

"Just make it normal!" I said.

It's not like this is the first time for me for eating outside in the roadside stalls. I have already did this with V, mum and bhabhi! But with her, is special!

"Ek normal bana dijiye!" She said grinning.

Translation -"Make it normal!"

The shopkeeper nodded and handed us two small plates. I must say he has taken care of the proper hygiene as he had the panipuri covered. He had mask and gloves on. His stall was covered with a big umbrella. And it looked good. Making our panipuri, he put one in Mia's plate first. She grinned and put that in her mouth making her lips pouty. She closed her eyes and moaned.

"Mmmm! Ssooooo yuuummyyy!" She moaned.

Smiling I shook my head whilst the shopkeeper put a panipuri in my plate. Taking it in my hand, I put the puri inside. It tasted a little spicy, tangy and sweet. A perfect combination of the flavours.

Wow! This is really good!

"So how is it?" Mia asked smirking.

"It's good!" I said gulping it down, without any hesitation.

She gave me a told you look and ate her panipuri. She ate almost twenty whilst I ate six. She even fed me one of her spicy panipuri which literally burnt my whole buccal cavity. I don't know how she ate all of her panipuri!

After an hour or so we finally left for the palace.

10:45PM IST

Currently I was with Mia in her room where Sam was asleep and we were talking in the balcony. The weather was good, not too cold like Delhi. But still I have my hoodie on and Mia had a woolen shawl around her petite figure. There was a swing in the balcony and we were sitting close to eachother. You can say I was back hugging her when she had her head rested on my chest.

We were talking randomly about our childhood, friends, school life and college life etc.

"Didn't you miss your mum in London then if you are this much obsessed over her handmade foods?" I asked.

She hummed.

"Of course I did! But I knew my goal and mum's busy life. So I didn't disturb her much but still she used to come to meet me in between 4 months or so! What about you? How did you manage it in NY?" She asked tilting her head up to look at me.

Smiling down at her, I said.

"I had seen Duggu bhaiya being away from us in NY when he was there for his higher studies, so I have always prepared myself for that certain moment of my life. So I don't think it was much hard for me. And of course Sid and V were with me. They made it a little easier but a lot crazier! They used to annoy the hell out of me!" I said making her giggle.

"They are nice! I like them! And don't bad mouth about my brother! Did you get that?" She asked with a fake serious look on her face.

"Really? One was always been a pain in my ass and you just added another monkey in the team who is my spare enemy! And you expect me to not complain about them? This is so wrong! You're being biased!" I whined.

"Hey! Did you just call them monkeys?" She asked pulling away from my embrace.

"Yes I did!" I said and pulled her back making her head bang on my chest.

"Ow! What are you made of? It felt like I just banged my head on a concrete wall or something!" She asked scowling.

"These are muscles babe! You're so tiny and fragile!" I said.

"What the hell! No I am not tiny! I am freaking 5'7"!" She said pouting.

Oh how much I love to tease her!!!

"Whatever keeps you asleep in night my love!" I said pecking her pout.

"Ugh! Sometimes you're just so so annoying and hard to spend time with!" She said throwing her hand in the air.

"Ouch! You wound my heart babe!" I said pouting.

"I am not going to talk to you anymore!" She said crossing her arms in front of her.

Well oops!

"I am so sorry baby! You're not tiny ok I was just kidding with you! Please talk to me!" I pleaded.

And sometime went in convincing her to talk to me again.

Next Day, 21st December
Ganesh Puja, 04:30AM IST
Umaid Bhawan Palace, Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

There could be no Hindu wedding without prayers being offered to Lord Ganesha. Just before the wedding day or in the early hours just before the Indian wedding rituals begin, the bride and groom, along with both the families offer prayers to Lord asking for protection from all kinds of obstacles and from the evil, leading towards a beautiful new beginning. And it was the day today. Ganesh Puja ceremony for their successful wedding without any problems.

I groaned and smacked my hand down on the alarm clock which didn't let me sleep properly. Last night, I was working till late after I came back from Mia's room and didn't get a proper sleep. Now I am regretting working till late. Grumpily, I got up from the bed to see Varun still sleeping like a pig. Scowling I went towards his bed and kicked his ass. He yelped in shock and fell down the bed. I stifled my laughter.

He peeked getting up from the floor and his state made me laugh out loud. His hairs were sticking on his face, he has drools covering his lower face and his eyes were wide opened.

"KAMINEEEEE!" He screamed.

I rushed inside the bathroom and closed the door before he could catch me. I brushed my teeth and took a shower. After my business was done, I came out of the washroom with a towel around my waist. I went to my closet and picked up my traditional wear which mum bought specially for this ceremony. Wearing that on, I came out of the closet.

Gelling my hairs, I put on some cologne. I wore the juti matching to my clothes and checked my-handsome-self in the mirror!

Cocky much? From birth! ;)

Straightening my collar, I went out of the room. Sid and Varun were not present in the room so I guess Sid must be downstairs and Varun must be taking his sweet time for shower. Shaking my head, I went downstairs where Veer was present with Sid.

"Hey guys! Good morning!" I chirped pushing my tired self away.

They looked at me unison and greeted me back. Then we trio along with Sahil, Abhi and Armaan checked if everything was ready. Varun joined us after sometime.

It was almost 05:20 and all the ladies came downstairs along with my baby who looked damn sexy in her white and pink saree which I bought for her from Jodhpur. She had her hairs tied in a bun with some strands free and from where I was standing which was almost 10 feets away from her, I could say that her hairs were a slight bit wet. Her face was glowing and she looked breathtaking. I was busy staring at her that I didn't even notice her coming to me and standing beside me.

She gave me her most wide smile as she gave me something in my hand. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked down to see my wrist watch. Then I realised, I had left it in her room yesterday.

"Thank you baby!" I said and took my watch from her.

She nodded and went back to Shree and Sam.

"So shall we leave? We don't have much time left!" Prem Uncle said.

"Yeah we shall leave now!" Dad said and we all went out to our cars.

Sid, I, Varun and Sahil took a car whilst Veer, his wife, Rani ma, Shanaya took another. Mia, Shree, Armaan, Sam and Abhimanyu in a car & Mine and Mia's parents with bhabhi, bhaiya, Hina and Alia went in another. Prem Uncle, Armaan's parents and Chachi, chachu went in another. After sometime we finally reached to our destination.

05:35AM IST
Ganesh Temple Ratanada, Ganesh Mandir Road, 65, Circuit House Rd, Marg, Ratanada, Talab, Rajasthan 342001

We stopped the car in front of the temple from where the guards will take care of the parking and all. We all went inside. The temple was beautiful. It had a huge ganpati's idol on it's top which was golden in colour. The surrounding were a forest and a beautiful garden around the temple.

We went inside and stood in front of the idol of Ganesha. The idol was so mesmerising. From the corner of my eyes I saw Mia with her joint palms and lowered head as she took the blessings of the lord. I did the same and rang the bell once.

"Let's take a walk around the temple whilst the seniors will see the puja preparations and there is still some time left for the puja! We will come back before it, what's say?" Sam asked excitedly.

We agreed and took a look around the temple. There were so many types of flowers and fruits in the garden and the place was so clean and maintained.

After sometime bhabhi came and called us inside for the puja. We all went back to see there were some carpets on the ground and in the middle there was a fire holder. Pandit ji sat on one side whilst Sid and Shree sat facing the idol. We all sat around as the puja started.

"ॐ श्री गणेशाय नमः!"

"वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ । निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा ॥" Pandit ji read.

"I pray to lord Sri Ganesh for the beautiful relationship Siddharth and Shraddha are about to start, for the forever love they will share, for the trust they will have for eachother, for the thread that will bind them with eachother. Let's start the puja now!" He chorused.

[ Please don't mind the English words. I couldn't write them in Hindi as it would have been taken so much time as hindi is not my first language if you don't know! That's it! Enjoy :) ]

He then proceeded the puja along with Sid and Shree.

After 2 hours
08:13AM IST

The puja just ended and we came out of the temple. Sid and Shree distributed some sweets and clothes among the needy people and children. I saw Mia with a sweet packet as she descended down the stairs of the temple. Being curious, I went behind her to find her kneeled down infront of a old woman who looked quite sick.
The old woman was caressing Mia's head as she gave her some clothes and money. She had clutches to her side. I went to them and kneeled down in front of the old woman.

"Namaste!" I greeted.

Mia smiled and the old woman smiled at me too. She patted my cheek with her rough bony hands.

"Dadi! He is Yuvraj! A very good friend of mine!" Mia said.

W-what?

I gave her a dirty look. The old woman chuckled in her hoarse voice.

"Beta! Y-you don't n-need to feel shy in front of me! I know t-there is much more than being just friends! I can already see the l-love you have for eachother!" The old woman said.

We both looked at her shockingly.

How did she know?!

"My children! I am old but experienced too! Forget all that! You two look so good together! May the god bless you two kind souls with forever togetherness and happiness! Bless you my children! Bless you!" She said.

"Um if you don't mind! Then I can help you! You wouldn't have to do all this anymore! I know an old foster home where they help and take care of the senior citizens like you! If you say, then my man can take you there and trust me there will not be any problem for you! And Mia and I will also come to meet you there, how does that sound?" I asked pointing at Mia when I mentioned her name.

Smiling Mia nodded and looked expectedly to dadi. She gave us a teary smile and nodded.

"Thank you so much beta! I especially didn't want to die in some road corner! And all alone! My own family didn't ask about me, but you two! I can't express my gratitude in words! Thank you so so much!" She said joining her palms.

Mia hold her joint palms.

"No dadi! You don't need to say thank you to us, neither you need to think about your family anymore! From today, you will live a new life! Promise me you won't cry again!" Mia asked wiping her tears.

"Of course meri bachchi! Kabhi nahin roungi aajse main! Kabhi bhi nahin!" Dadi said pecking her forehead.

Translation -"My daughter! I will never cry from today! Never ever!"

I called my guards and called Karan (his assistant) after that. Karan took care of the formalities of the foster care in Delhi and the guards took dadi with them. And Mia and I went back to the others.

09:34AM IST
Umaid Bhawan Palace, Circuit House Rd, Cantt Area, Jodhpur, Rajasthan 342006

"Oh my god! I am so so hungry that I can eat anything! Like anything! Someone please feed this innocent stomach of mine!" Varun whined making us snicker.

"Is there a specific time when you are not hungry V?" Sahil asked mockingly.

"Ugh! Not now Abbas! I am hangry and I am not that generous when I am hungry so shoo shoo!" Varun said.

"Did he just shoo me?" Sahil asked me with a hushed tone.

"Unfortunately yes!" I whispered back.

Varun is kinda scared of Sahil's wrath. So he doesn't fuck with Sahil and his anger issues. But looks like he is going to get some good beatings from Sahil today!!

"Don't worry Varun! The breakfast is ready! Come on, let's go inside and feed your innocent stomach now shall we?" Rani ma asked.

"Awh you're the best Rani ma!" Varun exclaimed making us roll our eyes at him.

He took a hold of Rani ma's hand and dragged her inside the palace and we trailed behind them.

In the dining hall, we all sat on and waited for the maids to serve us our breakfast. They brought the dishes and served us.

"Eat up first guys because after this me and Mia will be giving you dance tuition for tomorrow's sangeet evening! I hope you are all okay with that!" Sam said.

"You and Mia?" Armaan asked.

"Yes! Do you doubt us and our dancing skills Maan?" Sam asked with threat lacing in her voice.

"Yes! Do you Maan?" Mia asked with the same voice.

"N-no! Of course not! After what you did with me before the haldi day, I can't doubt on your skills! Especially dance skills!" Maan muttered the last sentence under his breath enough for us to hear.

We frowned whilst Sam and Mia glared at him. Armaan jerked up with a screech.

"What happened Armaan?" Veer asked.

But instead of answering he kept his glare on Sam who smiled at him sheepishly. Then all of a sudden, he pointed his finger at Sam.

"She! She fucking kicked me under the table!" Armaan said.

Twinkle aunty smacked Armaan's arm and scolded him.

"Armaan! Stop cursing!"

"Sam! What is all this?" Sunil chachu asked.

"This is what he gets when he messes with his bestfriends! Am I right Mia?" Sam asked.

Smiling sheepishly at her parents Mia nodded. Her dad shook his head with a smile whilst her mum scolded her under her breath.

"Are you done? Now sit down and eat your breakfast! Don't whine like a girl now!" Sam said to Armaan.

Armaan gasped but sat when Twinkle aunty tugged him down to his seat. Twinkle aunty gave a thumbs up to Sam who grinned at her. And this time Armaan gasped again.

"Mum! You too?!" He said in shock.

Poor Armaan!! But what happened with him before the haldi ceremony is still a secret! I hope it's not that bad!

"Now eat your food! You all will need it when I and Mia will be giving you lessons!" Sam said.

Gulping in fear, we started to gulp our breakfast down.

10:10AM IST

So we the boys including me, Veer, Abhimanyu, Sid, Sahil, Armaan and Varun are here present in the ball room where Mia and Sam will be giving us dance lessons. The seniors along with Duggu bhaiya, bhabhi, Shree, Mia and Sam will be here soon.

"Armaan! Will you tell us what happened that day?" I asked.

Armaan sighed.

"Of course! It's important for you guys! You need to be very courageous and strong to listen about it!" Armaan said.

We frowned whilst Abhimanyu smacked Armaan's head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Armaan asked rubbing his head.

"That was for badmouthing about my sisters! I won't tolerate it!" Abhimanyu said.

"Well then I am left!" Varun said and smacked Armaan's head again.

"Ouch! Stop hitting me guys! And Varun will you please explain why did you smack me before I decide to kill you with my bare hands?" Armaan asked.

"Yes sure! Mr. Ahuja! Somedays before I had adopted Mia as my younger sister! And Sam has always been like a little sister to me! So yeah being their elder brother, I smacked you because you were insulting my innocent sisters!" Varun explained.

"Innocent! My foot!" Armaan said loud enough for me to hear.

And this time I smacked him.

"Ouch! Dude what's wrong with you guys? Will you just stop hitting me for god's sake? And please elaborate Mr. Singhania, why did you smack me?" Armaan asked.

Giving him a cheeky smile, I replied.

"Because you dared to insult my baby sister and my girl! I dare you to do that again!" I said.

"Wow guys! Then listen to my heart wrenching story once! Then you will be having pity for me!" Armaan said.

"So...!" Armaan started to explain.

Flashback

Author's POV

Armaan, Sam and Mia has decided to surprise Shree on her handi ceremony by performing a group dance! And here they are practicing for it the day before the haldi ceremony on the terrace of Umaid Bhawan Palace.

"No no! Not like that Maan! You need to copy us!" Sam said explaining the moves to Armaan.

Sam and Mia were particularly shoving and pulling Armaan here and there. And poor Armaan tolerated his best friend and the love of his life for more than freaking three hours! Three fucking hours! Without an ounce of rest!

End of Flashback

"To be honest it seems scary guys!" Varun admitted.

We nodded gulping in fear.

"Yeh lo! Yahan hai saare! We thought you guys ran away!" Mahira chachi said coming inside.

"Your daughters will kill us if we even try to!" Armaan said getting glares from Mahira aunty, Sunil chachu, Devina aunty and the most scary looked Avinash uncle.

"Not a word against my daughters maan!" Twinkle aunty said.

"But you're my mum!" Armaan whined.

"But she loves us more! Isn't it aunty!" Mia asked coming from behind as she and Sam hugged Twinkle aunty.

"Yeah it is! I love my daughters more than my useless son!" Twinkle aunty said making Rajveer uncle snicker.

"Dad! You're in my team right?" Armaan asked with hope.

But his hope died down when he saw Sam and Mia looking at Rajveer uncle with puppy eyes. Rajveer uncle smiled and encircled his arms around Mia and Sam's shoulders.

"Of course I love them more than you! Betiyan beton se kayi guna jyaada achi hoti hai! So I am in their team! Sorry beta!" Rajveer uncle said.

"Ugh! Oh god! I am feeling so loved here!" Armaan said.

"Enough guys! Now shall we start the thing we are here for? Mia, Sam are you guys ready?" Mahira aunty asked.

"Yeah, yeah we are! Let's start!" Sam said giving Mia a sick smile.

Damn! We are so doomed!

Author's Note

Hey guys! Sorry for the late update.

This week I was kinda sick and didn't really feel to write the story. That's the reason I didn't write a single word. But I am finally back being all fit and fine. And here's your most awaited chapter.

So Christmas is around the corner and UK has been prepared for this Christmas season from the October. I am also excited for this year's Christmas. So my daily bits for today is all on the Christmas in my home.

I like my home well lit and clean. And not to mention, I love lights even that is a candle or it is fairy lights. I just love them.
