AUTHOR'S POV-
The Singh family was having breakfast. Rashvik was beyond angry. The deeds of his ex-wife were constantly crossing his mind. And all this frustration was because of that one message!
Rakshit and Reyansh just woke up before breakfast as their summer vacation started.Seeing Rashvik's mood, both of them thought its best to remain silent.
Advik was still sleeping as he woke up early in the morning but then fell asleep again.
Rashvik was lost in his thoughts when his dad asked
“Sarakshi contacted you?”
Rashvik hummed in response, continuing to eat his breakfast.
“So when are you guys meeting beta?” Rajiv asked hopefully
“I'm not meeting her dad, I'm not interested,” Rashvik replied with a straight face.
“Beta but-”
“Dad please, please I really don't want to meet her and I have so much work to complete” Rashvik said cutting Rajiv mid sentence.
“What's going on Singh family” Everybody looked towards the direction of voice and it was Prachi and Ananya with the kids.
“Aao aao beta” Rajiv said with a big smile
(Come, come child)
“Dadu” Aarushi screamed running towards Rajiv
(Grandpa)
Both the families are really close, not a single day of their pass without each other.
Rajiv has invited them for breakfast as they have returned after a long vacation.
“Sorry uncle ji we are late” Prachi said hugging uncle
“Are koi baat nahi beta, we just started eating” Rajiv said assuringly
(Doesn't matter)
“Uncle I missed you” Ananya said making a cute emotional face
“Aree mera bacha, come here I missed you more” Rajiv said pulling her into a heartwarming hug
(Oh my child)
“inko kyu laye aap wapas bhabhi, inke bina bada sukoon tha” Rakshit said sarcastically
(Why did you bring her back sister-in-law, it was a great relief without her.)
“Uncleeee, why he always has a problem with me” Ananya whined
“Galat kya bolra hai aksh” Reyansh said
(He said nothing wrong)
“I don't like you either my dear Reyansh” Ananya said rolling her eyes
“How are you both hn, lagta hai bhul gaye ho mujhe” Parchi said hugging both of them
(Looks like you both have forgot me)
“Bhabhiiiiiiii” They both said in unison
“We missed you so much,you know nobody was there to defend us, bhai ne bohot pareshan kiya hume” Rakshit said whining
(Bhai troubled us alot)
“Are mere bacho, ab agayi hu na mai don't worry”
Prachi said with a pout
(I'm back)
“yessss” They both said excitedly
“Ye kyu itna sadme mai lagra hai” Prachi asked, pointing towards Rashvik who was staring at them as if they had committed some heinous crime.
(Why is he sitting as if he is having trauma)
“Kyuki mujhe breakfast karke office jana hai aur yaha aap logo ka drama khatam nahi ho raha hai” Rashvik said , irritation evident in his tone.
(Because I have to leave for office after having breakfast but you guys can't stop your drama)
“isse toh baat karna hi bekar hai” Prachi said rolling her eyes
(It's better not to talk to him)
“Ahh leave him, let's have breakfast” Rakshit said looking towards prachi.
They were having breakfast with some small chit chats about here and there when Prachi asked Rashvik
“What happened about meeting her?”
“Meeting who?” Rashvik asked squinting his eyes
“Teri hone vali patni se milne ka KYA HUA” Parchi said with a sarcastic smile, adding pressure to ‘kya hua’
(What about meeting your future wife)
“Why everyone is concerned about me meeting her, I don't want to meet her yarr, kyu pareshan kar rahe ho sab” Rashvik said standing up
(Why everybody is troubling me)
“Listen everyone, I know I'm being very rude to you guys, even rude to dad but please understand my situation PLEASE. I've been feeling very irritated since morning, I feel like I should go somewhere and never return. I'm already regretting every decision I have ever……… EVER TOOK, so please don't make me do this type of thing which I'll regret later.” Rashvik said trying to be calm but obviously he couldn't.
“Bhai I know I should keep quiet right now, at least that's what you want but can't you just stop blaming yourself for whatever happened. It was all in the past, you don't have to blame yourself again and again” Reyansh said standing behind rashvik.
“Then whom should I blame Ansh? It's all my fault. We're having this conversation because it's my fault, this whole marriage situation it's my fault…….I-”
“Shhhh bhai calm down, what is your fault bhai? WHAT IS YOUR FAULT, do you even blame yourself for having advik? Do you regret having him?” Reyansh said, holding Rashvik's hand and staring at him.
“It's not like that, he is the best thing ever happened to me” Rashvik said, averting his gaze.
“Then think of him before saying things like this, whenever you feel like that you have done something wrong in the past, think about advik bhai.If you had not made these mistakes then you would not have had Advik and as dad always say everything happens for a good reason,you never know what future holds for you bhai, why are you assuming that everything will turn out like last time, think positively” Reyansh said in a very calm tone, still staring Rashvik.
Everybody was looking at Reyansh with amazement even Rashvik was looking at him with wide eyes.
After a few seconds Rakshit started clapping and others joined him.
“Papa ise bolo esi bate na kara kare, itni sensible bate toh mai nahi karta. Vo sab chodo ye batao ye itna bada kab hua? Mera Ansh hi hai na ye?” Rashvik said, squeezing Reyansh's cheeks with his palms and checking him from head to toe.
(Papa tell him not to talk like this, even I don't talk this sensibly. And leave everything tell me when did he grew up? He is my Ansh right?)
“Bhai leave me, now I regret wasting my precious motivational words on you” Reyansh said turning back to leave just then Rashvik back hugged him and said
“Thank you so much Ansh, I feel way more blessed now to have you guys than I ever was. Thank you for always being there for me and never giving up on me, when clearly you all were suffering more than me, I know us aurat ne bohot sataya hai tum logo ko.And Thank you for your precious motivational words that you just said, I love you so much” Rashvik said calmly but chuckled a bit while completing his sentence.
“ab kya kare sage bhai ho, give up karne ka option tha hi nahi, haina aksh” Reyansh said with a fake sad tone
(What to do , you are our real brother, so there is no option of giving up, right Aksh)
“Exactly, but still I don't care maine kar liya hai give up, only his new wife can fix these wounds” Rakshit said clutching his clothes around his chest.
(I gave up)
“Not again Akshhhhhh” Rashvik said with a frown
Everyone laughed and the typical singh family atmosphere filled the room!
“ Uncle your sons are crazy” Prachi said rolling her eyes
“insane yet sane vale case hai teeno” Rajiv said laughing
(They're insane yet Sane case)
“Hahahaha, so true” Ananya said laughing out loud
“Chipkali” The trio literally screamed at her face
(Lizard)
Ananya huffed and sat back on the chair.
“Bhabhi, Ananya, pa and bhai log, sorry for today's behavior, I'll try to be more positive from now onwards as ansh said but but but……. don't think that I'm going to meet her! This is my final decision” Rashvik announced
Everybody face palmed and said in unison
“hai bhagwan”
(Oh Lord)
Rajiv got a call and he went away from the table.
Rashvik was about to leave for work when Rajiv called him to announce that Sarakshi's parents have decided the dates and started preparation for the rituals that happens before the marriage
“when is the wedding dad” Rakshit asked
“ First and second of may. They don't want to do any big functions. No engagement ceremony or anything just haldi and mehndi on first day and next day barat” Rajiv said
“that's great” Rashvik said with a straight face
“What is today's date?” Rakshit asked
“19th April” Reyansh replied
“19th April!?” Prachi and Ananya said in unison
And then four of them gasped
“What happened now” Rashvik asked being confused
“Sirf das gyaarah din bache hain shadi ko” Prachi said furrowing her eyebrows
(Only ten-eleven days left for wedding)
“kitne kam din bache hai” Reyansh said
(Only few days are left)
“Aur itni sari tayariyan” Rakshit said
(And so much to prepare)
“puri shopping bachi hai” Ananya said pouting
(Whole shopping is left)
“Tayariyan? What do you guys have to prepare” Rashvik asked
(Preparations?)
“everything bhai, it's your wedding, it's our bhai's wedding, nothing should be missed out, so preparation should be good” Rakshit said dramatically
“Let's go shopping today only, what's say, it takes time for lehnga to be stiched you know” Ananya said
“Yeah let's start from today” Reyansh said
“Okay done then” Rakshit said
“we couldn't enjoy the first marriage, but no one can stop us from having fun this time” Rakshit said proudly
"By the way who is inviting you guys, huh? What are you guys so excited for?" Rashvik said pointing towards Prachi and Ananya
"Haha! Nice joke" Ananya said sarcastically
"We invited ourselves Mr. Rashvik Singh, thanks for your concern" Prachi said joining her hands
Rashvik just shook his head in disbelief and left for work
Rajiv discussed a few things with Prachi then they also left for work.
Meanwhile in Sarakshi's house, her parents just wanted her to get married as soon as possible and they were even thinking they're wasting their money on her.
She just kept quiet and listened to their never ending rants about how she is a burden to them
Oh and not to forget, this little innocent soul is still waiting for his soon-to-be husband's reply which she is never going to get.................... Maybe!
