As Ishaan, Aaditya, and Ridith were sneaking back through the corridor, feeling victorious after their mission, they suddenly froze.
From the other end of the hallway, Rishabh, appeared, arms crossed and eyebrow raised.
"Tum log raat ke ek baje yahaan kya kar rahe ho?" he asked, suspiciously narrowing his eyes.
(What are you three doing here at 1 in the night?)
Ishaan quickly nudged Ridith, who stammered, "Uh... bhai, hum... hum lemon paani peene aaye the"
(Uh... bro, we came to drink lemon water!)
Rishabh didn't buy it for a second. "Lemon water? At 1 in the night??" he said, looking unconvinced.
Aaditya, trying to look serious, added, "Haan bhai, pata hai na, vitamin C zaroori hoti hai health ke liye."
(Yeah bro, you know, vitamin C is important for health.)
"Makeup bhi seekh rahe ho kya?" Rishabh asked looking at Aaditya's shirt
(Are you learning makeup too?)
Before more excuses Ishaan Suddenly realize and called out "By the way, bro, what are you doing here at 1 in the night?"
Rishabh hesitated for a moment, and said "I-I was just getting some f-fresh air..."
"You were getting fresh air or bhabhi, huh?" Ridith smirked and said
Just as Rishabh was about to defend himself and explain why he was sneaking to Aarohi's room, they all froze in place.
A guard appeared from the end of the corridor, holding a flashlight.
"Yeh kya ho raha hai yahan?" the guard called out sternly.
(What's going on here?)
Without thinking, all four brothers-Rishabh, Ishaan, Aaditya, and Ridith-looked at each other wide-eyed. The panic set in.
"RUN!" Ishaan shouted.
In a flurry of chaos, the boys bolted in the opposite direction, desperately trying to escape. They didn't care where they were running; they just knew they had to get out of there before the guard caught them.
One by one, they hopped over a small balcony ledge, jumping into a soft patch of grass below.
Rishabh, the last to jump, stumbled but quickly regained his balance.
Aaditya said "aapne he ghar Mai chor ke tarha bhagna pad raha hai"
(We had to run away like thieves in our own house.)
Meanwhile, the guard had seen everything.
He didn't want to take any chances.
He immediately reported the incident to their fathers.
the guard informed the fathers, Mr. Malhotra, Mr. Rahman, and Mr. Shed
The guard stood at attention, "Sir, I saw four figures near the corridor at 1 in the night. I'm sure it was your sons!"
"What nonsense" Mr. Shed asked
"I am saying the truth Mr.shed" Guard said
In this chaos
The first door opened, and out came Ishaan, rubbing his eyes, yawning with a sleepy face. "What happened ? I was fast asleep, I have to go to court early morning" he mumbled, still pretending to be half asleep, scratching his head as if confused.
Next, Aaditya appeared dramatically from his room, wearing a white doctor's coat and round glasses, holding a stethoscope in one hand and medical textbooks in the other.
"I was studying for my medical exam..." he said, pushing up his glasses like a serious scholar.
Right after, Ridith came out, holding his laptop in one hand and a notepad in the other.
"I was working on an urgent office project," he said, acting frustrated. "Yeh bhi koi time hai tang karne ka?"
(Is this the time to disturb us?)
Finally, Rishabh stepped out of his room, arms full of files and paperwork. "I was buried in these files. What's the matter?" he said with an authoritative tone.
All the dads looked at the boys, clearly not convinced but unsure how to argue.
They looked at the guard, who was now scratching his head in confusion.
"Sir, I swear I saw them! They were running in the corridor!" the guard insisted.
Mr. Malhotra narrowed his eyes. "What nonsense! They all seem busy with their work."
Mr. Rahman turned to the guard. "You must be mistaken. Go to sleep now."
Once the dads left, the boys grin at each other.
Ishaan, with a mischievous smirk, winked at the guard who was still standing there, confused.
The gaurd left
"We need Oscar" Ridith said
Ishaan corrected "Oscar need us"
Next Day~
>>
~Aaditya's Pov~
Sun has barely rise and I am stuck in the garden while Ishaan and Ridith were busy carrying chairs and arranging flowers.
Meanwhile, the groom was still fast asleep, enjoying his dreams with his bride
One day, I'll be the groom too, and then this guy will work while I sit back and relax! Honestly, with so many workers around, I'm starting to wonder why we even need to lift a finger.
Okay I know we have to help them
But it's inferior while the groom is sleeping and we 3 are working so early in morning
"Abbey, dharti pe bapas ajaa" I heard
It was Ridith, who shout, pulling me out of my daydream.
I looked over to see me holding a bunch of flowers, staring at the sky
"Bhai, do you want to marry the flowers or what?" Ishaan laughed, and I couldn't help but chuckle too.
I reply "Uh, I was just admiring the sunrise!"
the groom finally decided to show up.
He stumbled into the garden, hair a complete mess and eyes still half-closed, looking like he'd just have a battle with his pillow.
And lost!
Rishabh looked at us and asked, "Ye sab kya kar rahe ho?"
(What are you doing?)
I replied sarcastically, "Just, tapoori sa shuta phuk rahe hai"
(Just, Smoking like a thug"
We all burst into laughing
"What?" Rishabh asked still confused
"We're just practicing our flower arrangement skills, bhai!" Ridith shot back, trying to sound serious but failing.
"Right. Next, I'll be teaching yoga classes, and Aaditya can host a cooking show!" Ishaan join in, barely holding back his laughter.
Rishabh looked at us and said, "Jo karna hai jaldi khatam karo, isse pehle ladkiyan aa jaye aur tumhe is halat mein dekh le."
(Finish whatever you're doing quickly before the girls come and see you like this!)
Ridith shot back, "You go first! If your bride sees you like this, she'll call off the wedding, and all our decoration will be wasted."
We all burst into laughter, but Rishabh just looked irritated.
Just then, my mom walked in and scolded all three of us. "Why are you laughing like madmen? Do your work quickly! All the relatives will be here in about three hours, and there's other work too!" she said, shaking her head before leaving.
After she left, Ishaan sighed dramatically, "Naukar samjh rakha hai!" while pretending to wipe away tears.
(They think us as servants)
Rishabh chuckled, shaking his head, and then walked off, leaving us still laughing.
Just then, the sound of girls giggling and chatting filled the air as they entered the garden. Ishaan's eyes went wide, and he started to panic. "Oh no, they're here." he exclaimed, looking
Seeing him so flustered, Ridith and I exchanged glances, knowing we had to make a quick escape.
"Bhai, let's run." Ishaan said
We dashed away, trying to avoid the impending chaos,
but not before Ridith tripped over a chair, sending a bouquet of flowers flying in the air.
"Bhai jab se yaha aya hu tab se bhag he raha hu, pata nahi kya ho raha hai" I said
(Bro, ever since I got here, I've been running around non-stop, I have no idea what's going on.)
Time skip!
Now, here we were-no longer looking like servants but dressed in sharp suits, looking very handsome if I say so myself.
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the engagement party kicked off.
The garden was transformed into a magical setting, twinkling lights hanging from every tree, and vibrant flowers everywhere.
I could see our bhabhi glowing in her stunning outfit, a smile lighting up her face as she greeted everyone.
Ridith and Ishaan stood beside me, both trying to look cool while subtly checking their reflections. "Dude, we look like Bollywood heroes!" Ishaan whispered, adjusting his tie.
"Ofcourse" Ridith said
Now, The bridesmaids were making their grand entrance, and the atmosphere buzzed with excitement.
I stood at the edge of the hall, watching it all unfold, a smile tugging at my lips.
It was all going smooth, just as planned.
Then Ruhi stepped forward for her entry.
For a second, everything was fine. But suddenly, she stopped. I noticed her struggling-
her dress had caught on something.
She tried to free it but failed.
A ripple of embarrassment crossed her face, her cheeks flushing.
Out of nowhere, there he was.
My brother, Ishaan
Cool, calm, and with the kind of confidence that would make anyone jealous.
It wasn't just the fact that he moved so fast-
it was how he did it.
Like he had this invisible crown on his head
He walked over to Ruhi without a second's hesitation.
For a moment, it felt like everything else in the room faded away.
He knelt beside her, his hands working deftly to free the fabric.
And the way Ruhi looked at him- man, if she wasn't already blushing,
she was now.
I couldn't help but smirk.
He handled the situation like he'd done it a thousand times before.
Not a single ounce of awkwardness. The guy didn't even flinch.
I watched as Ruhi's dress finally came free.
Ishaan stood up, offering her a smile that could melt stone.
For a second, I swore the entire room was holding its breath, waiting for something magical to happen.
And in a way, it kind of did.
Ruhi's face lit up with a shy smile, her cheeks bright red, looking up at him.
Ishaan offered her his hand.
She hesitated for a moment but then took it, walking with him toward the other bridesmaids.
He left her there, and as soon as he turned back, I noticed the girls teasing her.
It was clear that today was just the beginning of something special for them.
As Ishaan came back to us, I noticed his smug look. Ridith and I exchanged glances, ready to tease.
"Look who it is! The hero!" I called out, grinning.
"Yeah, Ishaan, I didn't know you were auditioning for a romance novel." Ridith added.
Ishaan rolled his eyes but smiled. "Very funny, guys. I was just helping."
"Helping? More like making girls tomato" I teased. "What's next? bouquet of roses?"
Ridith laughed. "Or sing her a romance song! Can you imagine that, Ishaan?"
Ishaan chuckled, trying to defend himself. "Come on, I was just being nice!"
"Nice? You mean charming! Look at how red Ruhi got!" I said, still grinning.
"Okay, okay, I admit it was a bit charming," Ishaan replied with a grin.
"Just a bit?" Ridith teased. "You're practically a prince now."
We all laughed, enjoying the moment.
~Author's Pov~
The engagement ceremony was a beautiful affair, filled with laughter and joy. The hall was decorated with colorful flowers, and fairy lights twinkled above, creating a warm atmosphere.
Aarohi walked in, her face glowing with happiness.
Rishabh stood next to her, holding her hand, his eyes filled with love.
As the priest chanted blessings, the couple exchanged rings, sealing their promise to each other.
Family members rushed to shower the couple with flower petals.
In the midst of the celebration, Aaditya approached Saanvi with a playful smile. "I don't want to say it but You're looking like the girls from that show Varsha used to watch all the time," he said.
Ishaan, overhearing, added, "He's talking about Disney princesses!"
Saanvi crossed her arms, a hint of jealousy creeping into her expression. "Who is Varsha?" she asked, trying to sound casual.
"Just one of my childhood friends," Aaditya replied
------------------
The Mehendi ceremony turned into a lively dance party. All the bridesmaids took their turns to show off their moves.
When it was Ruhi's turn, she danced with so much joy that it lit up the entire room.
Ishaan watched her from the side, completely mesmerized. "Bhai, Kya ladki hai yaar!" he exclaimed, his heart skipping a beat.
(What a girl!)
But he didn't realize that the man standing next to him, looking at him in shocked
Ishaan was blissfully unaware, grinning at Ruhi. "I mean, just look at her! She is so amazing!" he continued, oblivious to the tension building beside him.
That man asked "she looks beautiful na."
Ishaan replied "Yes beautiful and hot too" still admiring her
Aaditya, who was nearby, noticed the situation.
Panic flickered in his eyes as he quickly moved closer. "Uh, Ishaan, maybe we should-" he started, but it was too late.
That man turned to Ishaan with a stern expression. "You seem to be enjoying my daughter's dance a bit too much," he said, crossing his arms.
"Absolute- wait!!! You mea- you-you are h-her d-d-dad" Ishaan asked being shocked
For it Ruhi's dad give a small nod
"Oh, I didn't mean-uh, like I-I just meant her dance is really... uh, e-energetic." he stammered, trying to cover himself.
Aaditya stepped in, attempting to ease the tension. "Uncle, Ishaan just admires talent! Right, Ishaan?" he said, nudging Ishaan with his elbow.
"Uh, yes! Exactly! Talent, yes! Absolutely!" Ishaan replied, his eyes wide as he realized the misunderstanding.
Ruhi's dad raised an eyebrow, still not convinced. "Talent, huh? Just make sure she doesn't get any ideas about you."
Ishaan gulped, still clueless. "ideas? Me? Nah! I'm just a simple gu-" he said, trying his best to sound innocent.
Uncle left before listening to his protect
And with this Aaditya burst in laugh while Ishaan try to be cool while fixing his outfit and hair.
----------------------
The dining table buzzed with laughter and food. Ishaan and Aaditya were cracking jokes while Ruhi and Saanvi shared funny stories.
Suddenly, Ridith walked in, fresh from his 'work' with his dad, and sat down next to Aarna, who didn't notice him at first.
Without looking, Aarna casually placed her elbow on his shoulder.
She realized it was not chair
When she finally turned to see who it was, her eyes widened.
Her heart raced
~Aarna's Pov~
It was not chair on which I kept my hand
I turn my head to see
I accidentally kept my hand on him

In bridal style
Saanvi and Aarna freeze, eyes widening at the unexpected sight.
Saanvi being stunned said "Yeh⦠kya dekh diya main?"
(What⦠am I seeing?)
Ruhi glances away, her cheeks flushed,

She may seem talkative, but she's actually very focused on her work.
