Destined to be yours

Chapter 13| First Night

The car ride was an hour long and the kids fell asleep. Ahana was looking out the window while her one Arm was around Ansh and other around Aryan was asleep leaning on her. While on the other Hand Naira was also asleep snuggling into her father.

Neil:"um..Ahana.."(He asked awkwardly )

Ahana:(Looks towards him)"Hmm"

Neil:"Actually I was thinking to shift Ansh to Aryan and Naira's school. "

Ahana:"but...So suddenly ?"

Neil:"No actually mom gave the idea but she wanted me to ask you. She said it would be easy for us and the kids to go to the same school. Plus Ansh is a smart kid I am sure he will do great there"

Ahana:"See I have no problem with shifting Ansh's school but its mid year. Idk if he will be able to cope up and If he even wants to. I'll talk to him about it. If he wants then we can "

Neil:"Okay"(And again silenced claimed the car)

Soon before they know it, The car stopped in front of Malhotra mansion. Neil got out of the car with Naira in his arms. He signaled Sid who came and picked up Aryan and While Ahana came out of the car and had Ansh in her arms. Though it was hard for her to walk and carry her Dress as well as Ansh but she managed.  As they reached the main door. Ansh and Naira were taken away from Neil and Ahana as they needed to do more rituals.

Angali did the Aarti and instructed Ahana to do some rituals before they came in. Such as  dipping her hands in the red color liquid and leaving her hand print on the wall near everyone other hand print of the daughter in law of the house. After all the required rituals were completed, Ahana and Neil were made to sit opposite of each other as they were gonna play a game.

The game was a simple game but with deep meaning. In front of them was a bowl filled with milk and rose petals. They had to dip their hands in it and find a ring. Who ever finds it first is said to be the dominator in their relationship. For example, if the guy finds the ring first, people assume that as a sign that most of the time the girl will listen to the guy and vice versa. The truth to this game will only be known in the future.

Ahana and Neil started to find the ring. Though their were no excitement in them but everyone's excitement around them made then smile. The boys were cheering for Neil while the girls cheered for Ahana. Ahana felt something under her hands and touched it to recognize that it was indeed the ring. A small hint of excitement washed over her as she picked it up but just then she also felt a tug on the ring. Everyone looked shocked at Ahana and Neil pulled out the ring at the same time. Both looked at each other before looking at the ring while Angali smiles and said.

Angali:"Wow. Do you know what this means"(Ahana and Neil nod no)"That your relationship will be mutual.  You both will be a perfect pair as both of you will have the same amount of decision making and respect in ur relationship. This is usually very rare to get"

Everyone:"Wow"

Angali:"Okay let's move on to the next ritual. "

Neil:"Mom I am damn tied "

Angali:"This is the last one beta"

Sid:"Yeah bro take a chill pill you have all night to do whatever you want"(He said winking while others laughed and Neil gave a glare at him. )

Neil:"what is the last ritual "

Angali:"You have to carry Ahana to ur room "

Ahana/ Neil:"What!"

Angali:"Yes"

Neil:"But mom"

Angali:"No but.. it's the last ritual. Common hurry up"
