Chapter 1

The Singhania mansion was bustling with activities. It was Aditya's second birthday and just like last year both of his grandmothers had taken him to the temple early morning to pray for his safety. Aditya didn't know the importance of temples and went because he knew he would get boondi ka prasad there.

He was a very smart boy for a two year old. The little devil knew it was his birthday today and that nobody would scold him today and so was busy in doing mischiefs since morning. Till now he taken bath three times.

After coming from the temple he straight away ran to his Sahil chachu's room who had just come out from bath and was getting ready. He ran inside the bathroom. Bhavna came searching for him and saw him sitting comfortably in the bucket full of water.

After changing his clothes she gave him some toys to play and asked Devesh to look after him. She went downstairs to do some work and came back to see Devesh talking to someone on the phone and Aditya completely smeared in her cosmetic products. The dressing table and mirror became his canvas. She smacked Devesh's arm and went to Aditya. She gave him to Devesh who gave him a bath and Bhavna cleaned the mess he created.

Bhavna's parents along with Advik's family were invited. Bhavna's parents arrived first. Aditya ran to them and settled himself in his nani's lap.

"Ladhe ladhe nani. Ladhe ladhe nanu."

(Radhe radhe nani. Radhe radhe nanu.)

He said in his cute baby voice. Mitali smiled at him and returned his greeting while kissing his cheeks. Ritesh did the same and Aditya giggled.

"Nanu gudgudi."

(Nanu its tickling.)

He laughed and kept his head on his nanu's shoulder. He suddenly got up and asked in full excitement.

"Nanu aap mele liye kya laaye?"

(Nanu ehat have you brought for me?)

"Arre hum toh aapke liye kuch nhi laaye. Hum toh laana hi bhul gye. Sorry."

(Arre we got nothing for you. We forgot to bring. Sorry.)

Adi made a sad pouty face. It had never happened that his nanu has not bought anything for him. He always gave him something when he went to their house or when he came here.

"Arre ye kya hai mere paas dekho toh."

(Arre see what i have got here.)

Ritesh said dramatically and put his hand in his pocket. Adi looked at him curiously. He took out a chocolate from his pocket and gave it to him. Adi squealed in joy and hugged him. He took the chocolate from him and got off his lap and ran to his Vaibhav chachu hiding the chocolate from his mumma.

"Chachu ye choclet chhupa do. Walna mumma le legi."

(Chachu hide this chocolate. Otherwise mumma will take it.)

He gave his chocolate to Vaibhav. Vaibhav was his treasure chest. If he wanted to hide something he went to him. Vaibhav was the most sweetest among the four and his mother would never doubt on him. Vaibhav kept the chocolate in the fridge.

Advik's family was also here and they celebrated Aditya's birthday. Adi then took Arnav and Ahana to his toy room and they played with toys. The elders had their discussion, the boys gang were talking among them and Bhavna and Chhaya were talking about their lives.

Karan had retired from work a year back making Arjun the CEO and Devesh the COO. They recently hired a new employee for the place of CLO which was earlier acquired by Devesh. As far as Vaibhav knew the new CLO and Sahil knew each other from school time and there was something between the two.

Talking about Vaibhav. He had always believed in the theory of 'the one' and wanted a married life like his parents, chachi-chachu and bhai-bhabhi. He wanted a partner who could under him and love him without any conditions. Someone with whom he would want to spend his entire life with. Someone with whom he could stay young forever.

Pyaar ek saath budhe hone mai nhi. Budhe hokar bhi ek saath jawan rehne mai hai.❤️

*Random thought*

He did not have any problem with having an arranged marriage until he is getting the partner he wishes.

It had been two weeks since Aditya's birthday celebration. They were sitting in the living room talking and watching TV more specifically Doraemon. Aditya's demand. Vaibhav saw his parents actioning something to each other as if wanting to say something. He was observing them from the past 10 minutes.

"Mumma papa kya hua? Is everything alright?"

(Mumma papa what happened?)

"Haan. Haan beta. Everything is alright."

(Yes. Yes son.)

Karan said and Damini glared at him.

"Aapse kuch nhi hoga. Mai hi bolti hu. Vaibhav when are you planning on getting married?"

(It's not your thing. I will only say.)

Damini asked in a firm tone.

"Beta its not like we are interfering or something. Hum bas janna chahte hai if you have someone special in your life."

(We just want to know whether you have someone special in your life.)

Karan said politely.

"Kya interfere. Beta hai hamara. 28 ka ho gya shaadi ka kya socha hai."

(What interfere. He is our son. You are 28 now when are you planning to marry.)

Damini asked. Vaibhav looked at them bewildered.

"Mumma papa relax. I don't have anyone special in my life. Aur agar aapko koi ladki pasand hai toh mujhe koi problem nhi hai shaadi krne mai."

(Mumma papa relax. I don't have anyone special in my life. And if you like someone then i have no problem in getting married.)

"Thik hai phir. Meri ek friend hai jiske jankari mai koi hai. Unki beti ke liye bol rhi thi wo. Mai unse baat krti hu."

(Fine then. My friend has someone among their knowns. She was talking about their daughter. I will talk to her.)

"Thik hai mumma. Jo aapko sahi lage. Khush?"

(Ok mumma. Whatever you find ok. Happy?)

"Bhut khush. Mera pyaara bachha."

(Very happy. My lovely child.)

Damini said and kissed his forehead lovingly. *Mothers

They soon called it a night and went to their respective rooms. Vaibhav couldn't help but think about what his mother had said. He just hoped that whoever she was would give him his forever. He soon slipped into slumber.

The next day they returned home from work and Damini informed them that she had talked to the girl's family and they are planning a meet next week. Vaibhav agreed and they spent their time talking and playing with Adi and soon called it a night.

Vaibhav had a strange feeling about this meet as if his soul was telling him something. A strange peaceful feeling. He slept thinking about the meeting.
