Today Reyansh had an off so he was sitting and enjoying with his parents. His noticed his mother motioning something to his father.

"Umm Reyansh beta-"

(Reyansh son-)

His father started when his mother cleared her throat and glared at him.

"Reyansh 29 saal ka ho gya hai. Shaadi kab krni hai?"

(Reyansh you are 29 years now. When are you planning to marry?)

His father immediately changed his tone. So this was what it was all about. His parents were one of a kind.

"Aap dono ko pata hai na. Maine kabhi iss baare mai jyada dhyaan nhi diya. Aapko jo krna hai karo."

(You guys know right. I never paid attention to it. Do what you want to.)

Aanchal's eyes sparkled hearing this and she motioned Mishkat to continue.

"Ahana pasand hai hume tere liye."

(We like Ahana for you.)

Mishkat dropped the bomb on him. Reyansh looked at him open mouthed and wide eyed.

'Yayy!'

Ignoring his conscience he asked his father.

"Papa- mai- Ahana- kaise-"

(Papa- i- Ahana- how-)

'Kya matlab kaise!'

"Kya matlab kaise! Kya problem hai usme? Itni pyaari toh hai."

(What do you mean how! What is the problem? She is so sweet.)

His mother spoke up for the first time.

'Haan itni pyaari toh hai.'

'Shut up!'

"Mumma par- i mean- maine usse hamesha friend ki tarah dekha hai-"

(Mumma but- i mean- i have always seen her as a friend-)

"Toh phir ab dekhle na. As more than a friend."

(So now she her.)

"But-bhut awkward nhi ho jaayega."

(But- it would be so awkward.)

"Beta awkward hoga when you will think of her only as a friend but jab pyaar hone lagega na tab everything will start falling into place."

(It would be awkward when you think of her as only a friend but when you start falling in love..)

Mishkat said. They knew that they would have to intervene or else he would never even think about getting married.

And Ahana was the only girl he ever gave attention to. The boy was himself unaware of his feelings. But not anymore. His parents were on a mission.

Reyansh sat their processing what they had said and his parents went on describing each and every quality of hers.

"Fine! Ho gaya mai convince. Carry on with your plans."

(I am convinced.)

He mumbled at last making Aanchal squeal in excitement. She immediately called Chhaya and gave her the news.

Chhaya on the other hand was manofying Advik.

"Advik! Reyansh ne haan krdi. Baat kijiye na aap apni princess se."

(Reyansh had said yes. Talk to your princess na.)

"Baat kr lunga lekin i won't force her. Agar wo haan karegi toh haan warna na."

(I will but i won't force her. If she says yes then yes else no.)

Chhaya pouted. Now we know where Ahana gets her habit from.

They went out and saw Ahana watching tv with Arnav. Both of them were eating popcorn and having coke.

Advik sat beside her and caressed her hair. She snuggled into him and continued watching the movie.

"Princess! Tere liye ek rishta hai."

(There is an alliance for you.)

"Achha."

(Ok.)

She said absentmindedly and continued watching tv.

"Reyansh ka."

(Reyansh's.)

"Ummhmm."

Advik waited for her to grasp his words and she did not disappoint. Three seconds later she jumped up shouting loudly.

"KYA!?"

(WHAT!?)

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

Arnav paused the movie and looked at his sister who looked like she saw a ghost.

"Shaadi ki baat kr rhe hai. Reyansh aur iski."

(We are talking about marriage. Hers and Reyansh's)

Chhaya said and Arnav burst out laughing.

"Good joke mumma."

He sobered up when he saw his parents looking serious.

"Ye joke nhi hai."

(This is not a joke.)

Chhaya shook her head and Arnav made an 'o' face.

'Meri shaadi! Ansh se!'

Ahana thought.

Her conscience: gasps faints dramatically

She ignored it like always.

"Mummaa!"

She whined.

"Unse nhi. Daante rehte hai mujhe."

(Not from him. He keeps on scolding me.)

'Haww! Juthhi!'

"Chup! Ek aisa time bata de jab usne tujhe bina matlab daanta ho."

(Shut up! Tell me one time when he scolded you without reason.)

Chhaya said making her whine again.

"Aur koi reason hai reject krne ka?"

(Is there another reason to reject?)

She asked again. Ahana thought hard but could not come up with one.

"Princess! Koi aur pasand hai kya?"

(Do you like someone else?)

She quickly shook her head.

"Papa! Kitna awkward ho jaayega. Mai kaise-"

(It would be so awkward. How will I-)

"Arre kuch awkward nhi hoga. Tu bass unhe bhai mat bol dena."

(Nothing would be awkward. Just don't call him bhai.)

Arnav joked from behind getting three glares.

"Awkward tab hoga jab tum hone doge. Hamari shaadi se pehle hum jaante bhi nhi the ek dusre ko. Ek mahina pehle mile the. Atleast you know him well."

(It would be awkward when you let it. We didn't even know each other before our marriage. We met just a month before.)

She nodded and Chhaya squealed loudly and dragged Advik inside while jumping with excitement mumbling things along.

Ahana sat back on the sofa and watched her movie with a stressed expression.

**************************************

The next day she got ready but was very nervous to face him. Did he know about all this. She hoped not.

Whereas Reyansh didn't know how to feel. His Ahana obsessed conscience was dancing with happiness when he got to know that Ahana had said yes.

He reached the hospital and his eyes involuntarily searched for her. He found her attending the boy whose surgery was the first one she had attended.

He was here for his routine checkup.

He observed how she interacted with him, her movements, her actions. Everything seemed new to him.

'Hayee! She is so pretty and sweet!'

'I know.'

He realised what he was doing and moved away from there and went to his cabin.

"Damn! Kya bhar diya aap logo ne mere dimaag mai."

(What have you filled in my brain.)

Ahana on the other hand was trying hard to avoid him. She didn't know how she face him. But seemed like luck wasn't on her side.

"Doctor Ahana. Ye reports Doctor Reyansh ko deni hai. Aap please unhe de do meri rounds shuru ho rhe hai i have to rush."

(Have to give these reports to Dr. Reyansh. You please give him i have to rush for my rounds.)

A fellow doctor came and gave her a file. Before she could say something the person ran away leaving her rooted to her spot.

She thought for about 5 seconds but deciding not to waste any time she went towards his cabin.

She took a deep breath and knocked. She entered when he gave the permission. He was looking at some report.

She cleared her throat gaining his attention and their eyes clashed. They shared an eyelock before she looked away and passed him the file.

She started to go out when he called.

"Ruko."

(Wait.)

She turned towards him. He came near her and she lowered her head. She didn't know why but she felt nervous right now.

"Apni marzi se haan ki hai ya koi pressure."

(Dis you say yes on your will or someone forced you.)

'He knows.'

'Yayy!! He knows!'

"Umm-pata nhi."

(I don't know.)

She again turned to leave when he pulled her close.

"Iska matlab."

(What does this mean.)

"Ansh please!"

"Achha ek baat puchhu?"

(Can i ask something?)
