⚠Long Chapter Ahead Don't Get Bored⚠

Everyone was so excited as today they all are going shopping for Hiya - Vihaan’s wedding and Ayaan - Ishani's engagement.

Harsh with Ishani will come directly to the shop while Vihaan and Meera come to Suryavanshi Villa as per Maheen's request so that they all can go together.

“Here is your bride” Divya nudged Ayaan by her elbow while Ayaan glared at her and she giggled.

Rehana went to Ishani and hugged her tightly.

“You're okay right?” Rehana asked, breaking the hug and smiling at Ishani. Who nodded her head as yes.

“Di…  why is Rooh baby giving so much attention to Ishani? Instead of me?” Divya pouted and Hiya smacked her head with a sigh.

“She shared a bond with Ishani, Divya. Why are you feeling jealous?” Hiya said, rolling her eyes, at her sister who's looking at Rehanna and Ishani with anger in her eyes.

“But she is mine” Divya whined, stomping her foot angrily and Rehana looked at her with a confused look.

She was just going to ask Divya why she was looking angry but Maheen called them to come inside.

“Come girls”

They all entered inside the shop and the shopkeeper asked them to make themselves comfortable.

“What happened to you!” Rehana asked, sitting beside Divya on the chair, and Divya moved her face to the other side only to earn a hard glare from Hiya.

“I'm angry with you Rooh”

“What? Ab maine kya kar diya?” (What did I do now?”

“You're giving so much attention to Ishani, instead of me,” Divya said, turning towards Rehana and then again making a stoic face.

Rehana giggled hearing her and hugged her frame from the side.

“So my divi is jealous?”

“Yes… a hell of yes… I'm jealous” Divya said, gaining everyone's attention and all the family members looked at her with wide eyes and the shopkeeper also stopped his work and looked at her. While Hiya facepalmed and then her eyes met with Vihaan who asked through wiggling his brows what's the matter and Hiya shook her head sighing.

“Divi” Rehana gulped feeling everyone's eyes at them and her eyes Widened when she felt she was being hugged very tightly by Divya.

“You're my best friend. You're my half soul, you're my soul sister, you're everything to me and you know that right. I just don't want to share you with anyone.” Divya said crying and Rehana felt how much Divya loves her.

“Divi” She caressed Divya’s hair while she was sobbing.

“What is happening here?” Samaira asked not understanding what's happening with her daughter. .

“Actually chachi… . “ Hiya explained what happened.

“Are you a kid Divya? Why are you crying as if Ishani Or anyone will snatch Rehana from you? “ Samaira said and Divya tightened her grip more.

“Divya”

“Uhhh Sam…  let them be.” Maheen stopped Samaira.

“Divi. I love you. I love you the most. Why are you crying like this? See I'm here with you.” Rehana's eyes also filled with tears seeing Divya crying.

In the meantime the shopkeeper excuses himself, leaving them to handle everything on their own.

“I'm sorry Meera ji , and Harsh ji …  she is always like this. And they duo are really soul sisters. Please don't mind.”

“It's okay Mrs. Suryavanshi”

“Samaira, that's fine, you know. Divya must love Rehana so much.” Meera said, holding Samaira's hand.

While one poor soul was silently crying seeing their love. She never gets the chance to hug her sister. Either her sister came close to her to slap her or to say dirty words about her mother.

Ishani's teary eyes met Ayaan's and she smiled.

Ayaan felt so hurt, realising what she must be thinking.

“Divya” Ayaan called Divya and Rehana broke the hug.

“You do not have to feel jealous of Divya. No one is going to snatch Rehana from you. Trust me. But please don't cry. You're making Ishani sad. Look at her how she is crying there”

Everyone now noticed Ishani, who looked down, getting everyone's attention.

“You're making her guilty. Please don't. You've had everyone in your life. Abhi bhai, me, Hiya and then Rehana, but Ishani Despite having a sister, she has never been able to feel her sister's love. Please don't be harsh with her my barbie” Ayaan caressed Divya's haira lovingly and Divya nodded her head as yes and hugged Ayaan.

“I'm sorry bhai. But trust me.. My intention was not to hurt Ishani anyway. I'm sorry Ishani”

Ishani shook her head and came towards them.

“It's okay…  I know how it feels to share your favourite one with someone else whom you don't even know. If you're not okay with me talking with Rehana di. Then I'll not. But please don't cry. You're so lucky Divya di, that you got everyone to love and being loved by them. But not everyone's lucky to get everyone's attention and love. And I'm one of them. You know I'm like the one who's begging for attention and to be loved by everyone.” Ishani wiped her cheeks and smiled at Divya and Ayaan.

“Ishani” Rehana held Ishani's hand and wiped her cheeks.

Ishani looked down, realising she had revealed so much in front of them.

Rehana hugged Ishani and patted her back soothingly.

“She is craving for sister's and family's love” Harsh said looking sadly at her younger daughter.

“Please Uncle don't mind Divya's words. She is way too possessive regarding Rehana” Hiya said when she noticed tears were glistening in Ishani's father's eyes.

“No no. It's okay beta.”

“Divya is childish. But don't worry, Rehana is way more mature than Divya. She'll handle them smoothly, don't worry” samaira assured Harsh.

“Is Divya always so possessive towards Rehana?” Meera asked Maheen and she smiled.

“Yes. Actually when we brought Rehana to our house. She was traumatised after her parents death. She used to just sit in her room all day. Didn't talk with us. She was going through depression when Divya brought Rehana out from her loneliness. She kept Rehana busy with her all day long. And that's why they became so close to each other” Maheen said with so much adoration in her eyes, seeing the girls hugging each other and smiling.

“Divi asks sorry to Ishani” Rehana said and Divya nodded. She held Ishani's hand and kissed the back of her palms.

“I'm sorry Ishani. It's just that i love her so much”

“No doubt everyone loves her so much. She is too sweet to ignore”

Rehana shyly lowered her eyes and Divya laughed out.

Ayaan smiled seeing Ishani mending with his sister's and may be his would-be sister-in-law.

“We don't know how your relationship with Suhani was. And trust me we don't want to know. But here…  when you'll be ours, we'll be yours too. The moment you'll be considering the house as yours we'll also become yours Ishani. If you ever…  ever feel lonely, angry, upset or anything…  feel free to share with us. Never hesitate to share with us if Ayaan bhai scolds you or anyone says anything to you okay?” Hiya asked palming Ishani's cheek and she nodded smilingly.

“I just wonder what will happen when Divya and Rehana will be getting married and go away from each other” Meera said jokingly and Divya shook her head hearing her.

“No no I'll not let anyone take Rooh from me.”

“Then? She will never marry for you?” Samaira asked, scrunching her brows.

“why not. I'll ask Abhi bhai to marry her so that she can stay with us forever. Also Rooh is a good girl, a family loving person and bhaiya would be lucky to get her. Huhhh… . .  Neither he is going to find a girl for herself nor is he in a relationship.. So after Ayaan bhai's and Di's wedding I'll talk with Abhi bhaiya. I know he'll never go against my wish” Divya said with attitude and blew her hair, while Hiya smirked at the blushing Rehana who lowered her eyes shyly and tucked the hair locks behind her ear.

“Acha aisa hai kya Divya?”

(Oh is it like this Divya? )

Divya's eyes widened in shock hearing Abhi Bhaiya's voice and then found he was standing beside her mother, with folding arms and raising one brow.

She smiled sheepishly and shook her head while everyone laughed. But Rehana looked down realising he heard everything and now he'll tease her again by saying ‘Divya and she should get married’

~♥~

“This is looking good right Vihaan?” Samaira asked to choose the diamond couple ring for the duo.

Hiya looked at her mother-in-law, who looked sad and then af Vihaan who's smiling.

“Chachi, can we go for a simple one?” Hiya asked her chachi and Samaira turned towards her confusingly.

“Why? Is it not good? See bhabi, is it not good enough?”

“If she is asking for a simple one then why not Sam” Maheen understood why Hiya asked Samaira to choose a simple one and respected her choice.

Vihaan sighed realising what Hiya must be thinking and then bent to pick the pair of rings which Samaira had chosen for them and asked the lady shopkeeper to finalise it.

“Vihaan” Hiya held Vihaan's wrist, shopping him to leave the counter and dragged him to another side from the family.

“Why did you choose this pair?”

“Because I've seen you liked them”

“But it's too costly”

“And you thought your would-be husband is unable to buy you, what you liked”

Vihaan looked at her with hurt in his eyes and smiled.

Hiya shook her head, and held Vihaan's hand.

“I know what you're capable of or not. I know how much you care about my choices. But I also do care about my husband's finances and everything.”

Vihaan smiled at her thoughtfulness and cupped her cheeks. . His broad warm palm sends her a good amount of warmth.

She leaned her cheeks more into his palm when his thumbs caressed her cheek bones.

“I would love to take care of your choices Hiya. Trust me…  it's okay for me.”

“Then let me pay half of it… please…  it would be from my pocket money I saved till now. Please” She looked at Vihaan with hope and he nodded his head.

‘I love you Hiya’ his inner voice spoke while his throat felt numb to utter those words externally.

~♥~

“So…  your Divi is going to ask me to marry you” Rehana was roaming in the shop absentmindedly when Abhimaan hugged her from behind, making her jump in fear.

“Hash Abhimaan you scared me” She said, turning towards him, making him chuckle at her Cuteness.

“How much did you hear?” She asked looking at her sides if anyone'ss watching them or not. But thankfully everyone's busy.

“Everything.”

“Hawwww then why didn't you come forward?” She hit his shoulder lightly.

“Let it be. Tell me what catches your eyes here?”

“Means?” She asked, raising her face.

“Did you choose anything for yourself?”

“For myself?”

“Hmm” He hummed, caressing her soft hair locks.

“I don't need anything” She smiled and then hugged him.

“But I want to buy something for you”

“Why?”

“Because I've never gifted my wife anything till now.”

“Give me after our wedding”

He smiled and put his chin over her head.

“We did Nikaah right? So as per the rituals i've to give something to my wife as muh dikhai”

“you were out for three years, we didn't meet, didn't talk, didn't even know about each other. Still you stayed committed to your unwanted wife. Do you think I can ask for more from you?”

Abhimaan cupped her cheeks.

“Your Allah has me with you. Your prayers didn't let me look at another woman. Your love takes me back to you, your longingness makes me weak to ignore you.”

“Don't you believe in God?”

“Yes I do believe. But I don't believe in doing business with him. Like whenever I feel needy I'll ask from him, otherwise ignore him. Maybe I'm not a spiritual person. But I do believe in God and his way of making everyone happy and sad moment after moment”

“You think about everything so deeply,” She said , smiling ear to ear.

“ohhh Rehana… you don't know what more I can do so deeply” He said pulling her close and her eyes widened, getting his wild thoughts and she wiggled to come out from his grip. While he laughed hard.

~♥~

“Are you sad?” Ayaan whispered in Ishani's ear who was looking at the ladies, choosing everything regarding their engagement.

“No, why would I?” She smiled looking at Ayaan who nodded his head and intertwined his finger with her.

“you liked everything they bought for you!”

“Hmm… they're good. Also I don't know how to choose like them.” She made a pout and Ayaan chuckled.

“Why are you laughing? I'm not an expert at choosing everything for myself. Because I never did.” She said sadly and Ayaan squeezed her palm.

“I've prepared your wedding gift”

“Hein? Really? But I've not got any chance to buy anything for you? Tell me what you want? I'll ask papa to give me some money so that i can buy” She said excitedly but Ayaan shook his head and she frowned.

“No. I don't want any gift. Don't ask your father for any money.”

“Then?”

“Do well in your studies. Establish yourself and be a good doctor that will be my gift from you”

Ishani nodded her head rapidly.

“Yeh jitni jor jor se tum ser hila rahe ho na utne jor jor se agar mujhe tumhari padhai ke awaz na aaye na to pitoge mujhse” Ayaan tried to sound scary but Ishani chuckled.

~♥~

“What are you doing here?” Divya gasped when she felt being dragged inside the trail room.

“I came here with my brother and sister-in-law and saw you're laughing with Rehana” He said looking at her with a smile and relief.

“Something happened?” She asked touching his hairs and looking into his eyes.

“No, why? “

“You're looking tensed”

“It's nothing”

“You're looking beautiful today” he further added, making her smile.

“I got your birthday gift”

“Then when are you planning to give me?” He asked me to measure her hair length.

Divya stood on her tiptoes and leaned to his ear.

“Tomorrow…  meet me at the basketball ground where we met for the first time” Raunak smiled and cupped her cheeks, smashing his lips with her he devoured her taste of mouth and groaned when she bit in his tongue being naughty.
