At the Bhardwaj Villa, (Aashika's POV)

It's been around 2 and a half months to our marriage. All the guests have gone back and Bua ji as well. Though I didn't get to know anyone that well as all 4 of them were roaming around me all the time... I really love their presence around me. It's still 7 a. m. but I don't know how Rohit woke up so early today, he was not even in the room when I woke up at 4 a. m. Suddenly someone knocks the door. I expected it to be Rohit but it was Maa.
She said looking at me in a state of confusion, "Isn't Rohit there in his room as well?"

I questioned back, "No but...What does it mean by as well!"

She replied me, "All 4 of them are not in their rooms, Idk where did all of them go altogether!?"

She went away without saying anything else, looking for them. I decided to call Rohit because earlier I thought he might have some work but now it feels like it's something fishy.
I called him and he picked my call at once, "Hey! Rohit, kahan ho? Baaki sab tumhare saath hai?"
(Hey, Rohit, where are you? Are you all together?)

He replied back, "Mmm.... b-bas aa rhe hai 2 min mein!" He hanged up the call without even saying where were they. But I could sense that something was fishy that's why he was sounding so tensed.
(Mmm.... W-we are just coming in 2 mins)

All of them entered the hall after some time. Mom was just about to ask them about their whereabouts but Ruhan and Ajay went straight to their rooms without even sparing her a glance. Their faces were completely drained. Even Rohit and Rivan looked as if something really terrible was on the way!

After clarifying everyone (absolutely lying) Rohit, Rivan and I came back to our rooms. I asked him with a serious expression, "What's going on?"

He looked at me blankly. I repeated myself and then he came back to consciousness, "N-nothing much! We just went on a walk together!"

I mocked him, "Hmmmm... A walk right? It took you guys 2-3 hours for a mere walk. And when you came back it looked as if someone had been scolding you or beating you for hours, am I right?"
He again started staring at me! Why does this man stare me so much!!!!

I snapped my fingers to bring him out of his world.
I held his hands and asked him again, "You can share it with me, Rohit.. "

He replied to me, after which it was impossible for me to control myself from laughing, "Ruhan & Ajay are in an affair with Siya & Rishika, the daughters of the CEO of Gandhi Exports. Yesterday Mr. Bimal Gandhi, their father, announced that he'll soon marry his daughters. Neither he nor our mother know about this. Today the son of a business tycoon is going for a meet with Rishika. Somehow she has managed to cancel it this time but still she is absolutely sure that the next time her father will catch her if she lies! Ruhan and Ajay got to know about this today, so we went to the garden to discuss how can we save them from this chaos! But at then end we came up with no plans!!"

I erupted into immense laughter! Like, this wasn't really a thing to worry about!!

He looked at me as if I think he was joking!
I said, "You could've asked me... I've plenty of ideas!"
First his eyes lit up but soon it turned grimy. He said, "It's not easy at all. My brothers have created innumerous blunders! It's impossible to save them now!"

I looked at him with concern, "Ig I have a plan! But we can't discuss it here. Can we go somewhere else this afternoon?"

He first looked at me and then he called someone, "Hey bro! We're coming today there for a few hours!" Then, he hanged up the call and told me to get ready fast.
After getting ready we all including Ruhan, Ajay & Rivan set out.

After half an hour we reached to an apartment. They had a beautifully decorated flat there. It was well maintained.

Ruhan with a restless expression on his face, "C'mon bhabhi tell us, what's the plan?" Ajay too fixed his gaze on me.
I decided to test them first before taking any further step, "Guys, I guess it's the best idea to let go this relationship now!"

All of them were dumbfounded. Rohit questioned me, "Was this your idea, lily?"

I continued, "Yeah! See, both of them respect their parents a lot! And even if we manage to get you guys married. Their parents won't be happy nor will they be. So, it's the best idea to let go this relationship."

Ruhan was constantly looking outside the window. Idk even if he listened to what I said. None of them dared to utter a single word.
Ruhan and Ajay shared a gaze and Ajay said in a broken voice, "You're right bhabhi. We should not hurt them or th-their parents in any way."

Rohit and Rivan were absolutely silent. This was the first time, I've found these guys so silent!

I said, "Ok! So if you wanna let it go, what do you think will they be happy with their new life partners?"
Silence prevailed in the room! I knew no one had the answer to my question.
Ruhan finally broke the silence, "Bhabhi, what should we do then? What do you expect from Rohit if he would have been at our place?" Rohit passed him a Deadpanned look!

I finally said what they wanted to hear, "I would've expected my boyfriend to create a wonderful story and act just like Rishi Kapoor to make everything look damn realistic!"

All of them looked at me with shiny eyes!!
Rohit exclaimed with utter joy, "I told you na that I've married the most unique creature on this earth!"
Creature se aakhir iss aadmi ka matlab kya hai!!
(What does this man even mean by the word creature?)
Ajay said, "So, bhabhi, what do we need to do?"

I requested all of them to lend their ears, "Actually, last week Mr. Gandhi told me that he wanna do an alliance with me. So, I can somehow convince him to give a chance to you guys!"

Ajay shouted, "Bhabhi aapke paas ye idea tha to pehle btana chahiye tha na!!!!"
(Bhabhi, if you had such a wonderful plan! Why didn't you share it earlier!!!)

I giggled at this. Rohit & Rivan erupted into immense laughter knowing my antics really well!!
So, then we decided the whole plan and tried our best to make everything look realistic!

Next day, At X-Guides, (Author's POV)

It has been 3 hours since their meeting had begun. After it ended, Aashika decided to drop the topic of Siya and Rishika's marriage.
Aashika sips from her cup of coffee, "Mr. Gandhi, it's so nice to see you. How are Rishika and Siya? They must be excelling as always."

Mr. Gandhi with a warm smile, "They are, Aashika. But, you know, as a father, I worry about finding the right matches for them. It's not easy with such accomplished daughters. Not everyone is as lucky as you to be in a perfect match!"

Aashika, laughing lightly, "Oh, I appreciate the compliment. I'm sure Rishika and Siya will find someone just as amazing."

Mr. Gandhi, "I hope so, Aashika. You've got such a good sense about people. If you were in my shoes, who would you consider?"

Aashika, "Oh, Mr. Gandhi, I wouldn't dare assume... but, if I would think about it, there are a couple of gentlemen I know who might be... interested. But it's just a thought."

Mr. Gandhi asked her curiously, "Oh! Now you've got my full attention, Aashika. Who are these gentlemen? Don't keep me in suspense!"

Aashika smirks, "Well, let's just say they're both quite accomplished and have a quite good interest in business and medical science. I've caught them casually mentioning your daughters a few times."

Mr. Gandhi with his bright eyes, "Really? So, they are accomplished, you say? Sounds like they're making an effort. Are these men someone I know?"

Aashika was determined not to reveal their names until and unless Mr. Gandhi himself guesses it, "Oh, you might have heard of them. They're quite respected in their fields... and from a family you know quite well. But I wouldn't want to assume too much!"

Mr. Gandhi asks excitedly, "Aashika, I think I know who you're talking about. Could it be... Rohit's brothers, Ruhan and Ajay?"

AND HERE WAS THE WILDEST GUESS!!!

Aashika with a smirk on her face, "Well, you did guess it, Mr. Gandhi. They're wonderful men, but I wasn't sure if they'd caught your attention yet."

Mr. Gandhi, "They have but still I wanted my daughters to get married to businessmen!"

Aashika knowing that he was already too much convinced, "Yes, you're absolutely right, Mr. Gandhi."

Mr. Gandhi, "But still I guess I should give a chance to them! They belong from a really good family and are highly educated."

This was Ms. Aashika Singhania who can convince one so easily without even flattering them!!
She immediately informed everyone that the plan was successful!

At night, their mother informed them that Mr. Gandhi had sent a proposal for Ruhan & Ajay for his daughters Siya & Rishika. Everyone's happiness was on the n'th cloud!

Their meet, (Rohit's POV)

I stood at the door with Aashika, ready for what promised to be an interesting evening. Mr. Gandhi and his family were arriving, and Aashika's mischievous plan was set to unfold.

The doorbell rang, and I opened it to find Mr. Gandhi, Mrs. Isha Gandhi, their daughters Rishika and Siya, and their youngest son, Vinay. Vinay had a playful smirk on his face as he followed them in.

"Welcome, everyone!" I greeted them with a smile. "Aashika, here they are!"

"Aashika, you look radiant as always!" Mrs. Gandhi exclaimed, stepping inside. "Bimal, doesn't she light up the room?"

Mr. Gandhi nodded with a warm smile. Rishika and Siya, standing quietly, glanced around with curious eyes.

"So, Aashika," Mr. Gandhi began, "I'm keen to see how this evening turns out. What have you planned for us?"

Aashika smiled mischievously. "Just a relaxed evening with some good conversation."

Ruhan and Ajay, both looking slightly too polished, greeted the guests. "Mr. Gandhi, Mrs. Gandhi, it's a pleasure to have you here," Ruhan said.

"Absolutely," Ajay added, trying to sound casual (but couldn't)...
Everybody settled themselves.

Mr. Gandhi turned to Ruhan and Ajay with interest. "So, Ruhan, Ajay, I hear you're juggling medical studies and business work. How's that going for you?"

Ruhan and Ajay seemed relieved by the straightforward question. "It's challenging but rewarding," Ruhan said. "Balancing both fields keeps us busy, but we manage."

"Indeed," Ajay added. "It's a lot of work, but we're committed."

Mrs. Gandhi, intrigued, chimed in. "And what do you find most rewarding about your work in medicine and business?"

Ruhan thought for a moment. "Helping people through medicine is deeply satisfying. And in business, it's about making an impact and solving problems."

Ajay nodded in agreement. "I'd say the same. It's about making a difference in various ways."

Vinay, who had been quietly observing, suddenly spoke, "Why is everything sounding like it's a setup?"

Everyone laughed, including Mr. Gandhi, who clapped Vinay on the back. "Smart kid!" Ruhan & Ajay's expressions were too good to see in this moment.

Vinay again spat out some hilarious question, "Okay, so Ruhan & Ajay, what are your hobbies to which you're actually addicted?"

Both of them shared a glance as they knew the disaster was now about to come!!

Ruhan starts with a bit of hesitation, "I love travelling and that is to which I'm absolutely addicted!"

Ajay, "Yeah! And I love working out, you know you can say that I'm a gym freak!"

Vinay (the troublemaker), "Okay, so if you guys had to choose between travelling or exercise and your girls. Which one would you choose?"

Ruhan & Ajay's eyes widened. They never knew if someone could ask them such a question. Even Siya and Rishika started staring them as they wanted to know which one would their boyfriends choose!
But guess what, my brothers were no less of comebacks!

Ruhan, "Mmm....Ig I don't need to choose because I can easily take Siya with me wherever I go!"

SMOOTH ANSWER-1!!!!

Ajay was no less, "I think your sister won't mind if I balance both workout and her together. Because even she knows that I need a huge amount of stamina to maintain good health and a really good relationship."

SMOOTH ANSWER-2!!!!!

Everybody knew what he was trying to indicate. Rishika was trying hard not to blush and everyone else too tried to divert the topic.

Vinay was so much roasted that he didn't even ask a single question after this!

As the evening proceeded everything was getting positive and at the end......finally Mr. Gandhi agreed for their marriage!!!!!
After that all of us had dinner, I received a mail. So, I rushed to check it as I was already waiting for it. And yesss! I did it!!

Aashika leaning in, "Hey! Why are you so happy? What happened?"

I exclaimed, "I applied for this year's Michelin Guide's contest! And guess what, my request was accepted. Last year, I could just manage to be the top 10. This year, again, I got the opportunity to participate in it!"

Everybody's face lit up with smiles. I continued, "I need to go to Paris, on 28th September!"

Rivan said, "That's great! Bhabhi & you didn't go on a honeymoon yet. It will be a perfect honeymoon for you guys in Paris!"

Before we could say something, we got an order from the High Court (my mother) that Aashika will accompany me to Paris. Actually even I didn't want to protest. As I know, it will be a PERFECT TRIP with her!!

It was already 10 p. m. So Mr. Gandhi & Mrs. Gandhi insisted that they should go. After bidding them goodbye, we all came back!

Everything was fine but Ruhan and Ajay vanished all of a sudden.
Pta nhi inn bevkufon ko Doraemon ka invisible cape kaise mil jaata hai baar baar!
(Don't know how these dumbs get Doraemon's invisible cape again and again!)

Finding out our maniacs, (Author's POV)

Everyone went to sleep. It was just Aashika, Rohit and Rivan trying to find out where Ruhan and Ajay had vanished.
Aashika went to the terrace, Rivan went to the garden and Rohit went to their rooms to check if they were there.

As Aashika was heading towards the terrace she could hear something. She opened the gate of the terrace and tried to peek inside only to see her two dear brothers-in-law dancing like maniacs on Duniya.
("Duniya" is tagged in the cover and the link is also provided at the end)

She didn't want Rohit and Rivan to miss this scene. So she called them and told them to come to the terrace.

All of them entered through the door. Still it felt like they were invisible to Ruhan and Ajay who kept on dancing. As the song ended, they screamed like the people in front of them were wearing demon masks.

Rohit mocked them, "Wowwww! You guys dance so wellll!"

But Rivan was no less, "Oh really! They were at least dancing on the terrace. You were dancing on the street like a... "

Rohit slapped him on his face. Aashika was literally thinking what else has this man done!!

Ruhan, "Thank you so much bhabhi... it's just because of you that our dreams are gettin' fulfilled!"

Ajay mocks him, "Why are you only thanking bhabhi... Thanks to Rohit also!"

Rohit was about to say but Ajay interrupts him and continues, "Somvaar ke vrat rakhne ke liye!"
(For keeping fasts on Monday)
(Mostly girls keep a fast on Mondays to get a husband but our Rohit can do anything. So, don't be shocked)😵

Everybody starts laughing...After some time they head towards their rooms (As Rohit was fed up of his brothers' teasing!)

In their room, Aashika asks Rohit with her doe eyes, "Tumne mere liye kitne somvaar ke vrat kiye?"🤣
(For how many Mondays did you do fast for me?)

Rohit was dumbfounded (Ab aakhir bichara bole to bole kya), "Let's leave all this na, let's talk about something else..."
(After all, what should he even say)

But Aashika was determined to know the answer, "Aiiiiii, why? I want to know, please tell me na!!!"

Rohit tried to divert the topic, "You know what, I forgot to tell you that Mia and her family will be coming soon after we come back from Paris!"

Aashika exclaimed, "Oh really, I would love to meet her!!!"

Rohit, "Yeah! Now let's sleep, so that tomorrow we don't get late for our work!"

Aashika with a smirk, "But still you didn't give the answer to my question!"

Rohit ran towards the closet, Aashika followed him but he closed the gate before that!
Aashika exclaimed, "Aishhh! Just a millisecond!!"

Rohit was no less, "A millisecond is enough for killing someone, Jaana!"

Aashika slammed the door... They spent the whole night fighting and.... definitely leaving no chance to make each other blush!!
