Until I Found You

*:･ﾟ✧Chapter 16. [Lakshya]*:･ﾟ✧

Harsh saved her contact in my cell, named, "Dear Wifey" and a heart emoji. It's surreal to see everyone so happy in the house after so long. I somewhat feel responsible for that prolonged time of sadness, I still regret not listening to my family in case of Neha.

But with Shanaya, I will do everything possible to keep her happy and my family too. I don't want to risk it all again.

Next week is our engagement, and I am to be dragged to the ring shopping with all the ladies. I mean why am I needed anyways, when they are going to chose the final one.

"Sir, Mr. Dipankar is here." Ritvik announced, and I answered to let them in.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Mehra." Mr. Dipankar said shaking hands.

"Same here, Sir. Have a seat." I addressed him politely.

"I had a proposal which I think you might be very intrested in." He started off and we got into a very good and interesting discussion.

When I say we are a media house, I basically mean that we are the power source of a movie produced. We have several teams of directors and then their teams, who work on projects in different areas and times, and that's how films are produced under our names as media houses. I am famous, but I don't allow reporters or cameras near me unless until I have an announcement to make or I am at an event.

The day passed in meetings and everything, and the moment I entered home, I was stunned by music playing and half house was decorated with different type of items.

"Bhaiyaa is here." Riya shouted and came running to me.

"What is happening?" I asked a little loudly trying to speak through the music.

Riya and Harsh dragged me out with them and started explaining more like bickering.

"So,  the whole deal is that, the engagement will take place here at our house, that's why the decorations and some rituals are told by Dadi Maa. She is coming tomorrow." Riya said doing a little dance, Dadi Maa in an angel, she is sweet, and caring and hella protective of us.

"And?" I asked, surely there is more.

"And, Bhai those rituals will be held here only and you and Bhabhi will be going shopping with Maa, Chachi, Dadi Maa, and Bhabhi's family on Friday for rings and stuff, and then on Saturday, the ring ceremony." Harsh said throwing his hands in the air.

"Why are you guys so excited? Even I am not that excited." I said with a frown, because I was damn tired.

"Because it's the first wedding of the house." Riya said twirling around.

"Okay, stop. I am dead tired, gonna shower and sleep." I said stabling her, because seeing her might give me dizziness.

"Oh okayy, I will tell Chachi and Maa." She said and went inside doing little dance. 

"Why is she so happy?" I muttered to myself, amused.

"Because we are finally getting a good Bhabhi and the big fat Indian wedding for you." Harsh said swinging an arm around my shoulder.

"Hands off me, and I am going to my room." I said and he grinned.

My silly idiots.

Growing up, Maa wasn't that attached to me, actually Maa wasn't there for the beginning years of my life, I don't remember much of that time too. Maybe Maa was there, but I don't remember it clearly. A part of my life is really blurred for me, and I don't seem to recall many things from that part. A pain shooted through my temples, and I groaned.

I quickly took a shower, got into bed, and was almost asleep when I felt a pain of hands massaging my head lightly.

Maa.

"Maa I missed you." I said, she was fairly angry with me for choosing Neha too, and didn't use to interact that much with me.

"I missed you too beta." She said patting my head slightly. I snuggled into her and slept off. ready for office, had breakfast and left.

The next two days were pure torture as I had to complete two days of work in advance as I would be absent due to ring ceremony and shopping. But the worst part is that my headaches are getting frequent and more painful as days are passing. I haven't told this to anyone yet, but I need to get it checked, it's getting out of hand now.

"Dadi Maa." I said bending down to touch her feet. I couldn't meet her yesterday as I went to office early and came back very late.

"How's my favorite grandson doing?" She asked chuckling, and ruffling my hair like I am some 15 year old.

"Dadi I am not 15 year old now, and I am fine." I said with a smile.

"Good to know and you are always a bacha for me." She said laughing.

We all set out for the shopping spree, in which I am least intrested, but it's important. As we entered the shop, I saw everyone except Shanaya, even Aanya was present.

"Bhabhi I am really sorry, but Shanaya won't be able to come. She hasn't come home only from 24 hours now. She called to inform that some superior of her is coming so she won't be able to make it." Aunty spoke up, and Aanya nodded beside her, and that hope inside my crushed.

I was hoping to get a glimpse of her, and buy her something on my own too.

"Areey it's okay Bhabhi, we understand. Our Lakshya here is also a workaholic. But what about her ring?" Maa asked her.

"Aanya will select one for her Bhabhi, she has all the instructions from my precious daughter." Aunty said with a little laugh.

We all selected the pair of rings, and all the shopping was almost done, when an almost dead Shanaya entered the shop. She walked in a daze, as if will crumble anytime, what the fuck happened?

Love, Nyxie.
