"HI aunty." I greet Vinita aunty as i and Saumya walked in to their mansion. Finally, finally we are done with the shopping. Saumya hugged her and walked straight into kitchen. Even I am also famished.

Well who wouldn't be, it's 8:30 now and last I ate was just a burger at 2:30, after that haven't got time to feed my baby aka my tummy.

"HI sweetheart. Long time no see huh" She said and walked to me. We hugged each other.

As I said earlier. They are like my second family.

"Yeah. Sorry I  was busy with work." I answered sheepishly.

"Sweetheart I told you not to work so hard. Have some time for yourself." She said. I was about to

"Vinita, stop berating poor girl." Raghav uncle walked in to the living room from his study. I hugged him as well.

"How was the shopping" He asked.

"Very tiring" I replied and we all laughed.

"I knew Saumya will do this." Aunty said and laughed.

"After all she is your daughter." Raghav uncle teased her. She shake her head.

These two are the perfect goal for any couple. Aunty and uncle are together from last 48 years. She has been with him when was just a mere waiter and stuck by his side in days of his hustle. And look at them now, they are, still as strong as before and the love they have for each other has never die down but it has grown by each passing day. You can see in their eyes how much they love and adore each other.

"Sometimes I feel like, krish is more of your kid than me" we all turned our head to the source of the voice, Samyak.

"Jealous much" I teased him and he stuck his tongue out to me.

"You both can never grow up" Aunty said. "Come on dinner is ready" She said and we all walked to the dining table.

"I am famished" I said.

"Tell me something I don't know." Samyak muttered. I hit him on the arm. "Ouch" he said while rubbing his arm. I just smiled sarcastically and sat besides Saumya and he sat across me. Aunty served us food. Dinner with Chandra's on Saturday and Sunday has been a ritual for me from the time I started my job. And I never felt awkward with them but instead feel like a part of family.

We eat our dinner in silence until samyak decided to say something.

"Mom dad we need to discuss something with you after dinner." He told them.

"Okay. We will talk in my study" Uncle told.

My breath hitched at the thought of talking about getting married to Sam with his parents. What if they don't want us to get married for good because uncle said we only need to get married for the contract. what if aunty doesn't want me as her daughter in law. What if I am not what they want in their daughter I'm law. What if..

Suddenly someone put their hand on my hand and I looked up to see it was samyak. He is telling me calm down with his looks. I think he sensed my little panic attack. I took a deep breath and pulled my hand away. He was studying me very intensely I try to keep myself calm and nod at him as to tell him to not worry.

After getting done with dinner, I got up and put my dish on dishwasher.

Aunty walked in the kitchen. I offered her to help in cleaning but she refused and said I look way much tired so I should just go and sit. when I walked out of the kitchen Samyak was there waiting for me.

"What happened. why were you panicking when I told dad that we have to talk." He asked.

"Let's go to your room and talk there." I said because I don't want uncle to hear any of that and get worried about project. So we went to his room.

I have to give head to samyak for keeping his room clean not messy like a frat boy. His room is even clearer than mine.

"What is it, krish? Are you having second thoughts on marrying me." He asked looking worried.

"First of all, you haven't proposed till now, so it's not a yes." I said and he looked skeptic. If I wasn't panicking about Uncle and aunt's reaction I would have laughed at him. "And I am having 2nd thoughts butgbe reason is not you. It's that uncle wanted you to marry me for contract. What if he doesn't want this marriage to last long. What if aunty have chosen another girl who will be perfect for you to marry. Because you know as an unsaid rule, you should marry a heiress of another business empire. What if.... " I was in the middle of my rambling but samyak put his palm over my mouth so my words muffled. His other hand was on my shoulder. I was looking in his eyes and so does he but he was smiling.

" Stop over thinking. Will you?" he said while smiling. "you seriously think my parents will not want you as their daughter in law." He asked amused.

I said yes but because of his hand it was not comprehensible. He realized and put his hand on my shoulder. So I said yes.

"Krish, tell me what can I do to make you feel less insecure about yourself. You are perfect. You know what I am not gonna waist my time in explaining this to you. You will se how happy they will be after getting to know about our future plans. Mum always pressured me to settle down and the girl she want me to chose as life partner is you. Just trust me on this." He informed me. That made the butterflies inside my stomach to erupt.

I sighed and nod my head to him because I trust him and let's just take the risk. Samyak enterwine our hands and just that simple gesture made me more relaxed. We walked to study of Raghav uncle, where they both were talking about something but stopped when they saw us.

"Yes my kids. So what you have both decided." He asked when we sat on the other chairs. I am still lm nervous as hell and aunt's constant gazing is making me more nervous. I pressed samyak's hand to convey my message to continue and got it.

We are best friends for a reason.

"Mom dad, we decided that we are not going to get married just for the contract." He said.

I looked at him shocked but his face was stoic calm. Maybe he realized how wrong I am for him.

My heart felt a tiny bit of hurt but I subside it.

"If that's what you both want then and I will not force you on that." He said. He was sounding disappointed but I don't dare to look at him instead I was looking at my shoes.

"but Sam..." Aunty started but samyak cut her off in the middle.

"Mum, you haven't got the message clearly. We don't want to get married Just for the contract. But we want to get married for good. Like for a life time." He said.

I was again shocked and I looked at him and this time he was smiling and looking at me.

"Are you serious, samyak" Aunt asked and when I looked at her she was looking so happy, and proud.

I felt so relieved. I was worked up for nothing.

"Yes mom. We realized that their is no better person for us that each other." He answered. My heart again started picking speed.

Calm down krishnaa. He didn't mean those words in a lovey dovey way. And what happened to never to fall in love concept.

"I am so happy for both of you" Uncel said and up from his chair and pull him in a hug. Aunty come to me and did the same.

"I am so proud of my son to make the right decision of choosing you as his better half. I knew there is something between you two." She Said and kisses my forehead. I thanked her.

I felt super blessed to have such people around me.

"we always wanted to krishnaa to be our daughter in law because we know she is the best choice for you and for our family and also you are the perfect one for her because you will give her everything she deserves." Uncle said and hugged me. So many hugs for a day but I blushed at his comment but nonetheless thanked him as well.

" So when are you both planning to get married " Aunty asked.

"Well dad had said, we have to get married in 2 months" Samyak replied.

"Yeah. And your son haven't even proposed me till now and my yes depends on his proposal." I said. They started laughing.

"That's like my girl." Aunt encouraged me.

"Son you better propose her in a fantastic way and keep the nose of Chadra's up" Uncle said.  I chuckled.

"I should leave its getting late." I said.

"Come on I will drive you back" Samyak said. I bid my goodbyes to aunty and walked out of the mansion and into his car. We drived in comfortable silence to my apartment. He stopped when we there.

"Thanks for the ride buddy." I said and get out of the car. He did too. Streets  are silent because it's past 10:30 now.

"it's alright." He said and walked me to the door. "Good night coco" He said and kissed my forehead.

"Good night Sammy" I said and chuckled. Then he went to his car and drove off.
