I nodded my head, still looking down.

"Preeti di.. " I turned my head to the voice which looked familiar and I heard it after two years.

I got up from bed immediately and took her in a embrace.

Tears are flowing from both our eyes.

"How are you?" I asked Keerti while pushing back her hair which came on her face when she hugged me.

"Except missing you terribly I am doing great." she said while hugging me again.

"I am sorry please forgive me Preeti di.." she is crying on my shoulder. Neha rubbed her back to calm her.

"sshh.. It's okay. I am not angry on you. How could I be angry on my little sister." I said while pulling back from hug.

"It sounds foreign for my tongue to call you didi. It wants to call you Bhabhi." she said in a shaky voice. Hot tears escaped from her eyes.

"you can call me anything you like." I said while wiping her tears with my salwar suit dupatta.

"I came here as soon as Ritu aunty told me you were here.." Keerti said.

"when did you arrive." I asked her while rubbing her forearms to calm her down.

"few minutes ago. Maa and dad are downstairs waiting for you."

Keerti didn't say Siddharth's name. I wanted to ask her if he is arrived or not. Suddenly the thought of see him after so many days give me a chill. His thought only make me blush and I don't understand how I will face him after days.

"let's go they are waiting for you." Keerti said while dragging me along with her and Neha followed us from behind.

Whole mansion is fill with guest. Servants are busy in decorating the whole mansion. Some ladies showing there clothes to others and some of them having chit chat. Childrens are playing. Some elders are having tea with snacks and share their own marriage experiences.

We walked to the living room where my whole family is sitting along with Neeta aunty and Akhil uncle. Mummy and Papa talking to Neeta aunty and akhil uncle with a wide smile on their face.

My eyes started searching only one particular face but I felt disappointment not to seeing him.

"Bhayi will come at evening with his friends." Keerti answered my unasked question. I give her a small smile.

"Maa..Dad.." All of them turned to our side.

Neeta aunty stood up and walked to me.

I bent down to touch her feet but she took me in a warm embrace and started weeping on my shoulder.

"My daughter.." Neeta aunty keep crying on my shoulder.

"Please forgive me beta." she said while pulling herself from the hug.

My eyes is welled up in tears and I wiped her tears while shaking my head silently saying her not to cry.

"My son is living like a robot without you." Akhil uncle came to me and hug me.

"whatever you will take decision but remember one thing you always be my daughter. You are same to me as Keerti. Never forget that." Akhil uncle said in a fatherly manner.

I bent my head down and nodded.

"Every single girl should be looking pretty in my wedding and forget your men until my marriage because we girls are going to rock." Neha said while pointing to us.

We whole Agarwal sisters and keerti siting in a living room when Neha order us what to do.

"we will see when your dhruv is here." Shivani di said while feeding shreya.

"yeah, then she herself roaming around him." Shikha Bhabhi said.

"No, I am not. He is going to have a hard time to get me." Neha said while winking to me.

"Poor Dhruv, A boy who like to bully others who thought he got a big bully than himself as his wife. " Riya Di said.

"Diii... " Neha said while pouting and foldes her both hands on her chest.

"Just kidding baby. Don't pout."

Everyone broke into a laugh.

I turned my head to Keerti and she is looking at me with a half smile, like she is something deeply.

I put my hand on hers and raise questioning eyebrows, asking her is she alright.

She shake her head.

"you know you can tell me everything." I said.

"If our life never changed, if everything was fine then you would be my brother's dulhan and my Bhabhi." she said.

I can see tears in her eyes which she holding back.

"Don't think about the bad things. Now everything will be fine. You have a wonderful family and amazing brother." I said while giving her a smile.

"Can I consider you in my wonderful family and Dulhan of my amazing Bhayi." Keerti asked me while looking at me.

I didn't say anything and lower my head.

"It's been two years you guys apart from each other but the love you both share, I only read this type of love in romantic novels. I can't see you both like this. I wanted to see you both together." she said.

"Keerti..I don't understand anything. I am confused. I don't know what to do." I whispered and closed my eyes.

"Bhabhi I don't want to pressurize you for anything. I just wanted to tell you one thing, you both are incomplete without each other."

I open my eyes and looked at her.

"Ddrrruuuvvv..... "

I turned my head to Neha who screamed and run towards where dhruv and his family is standing.

We all got up from our sit and walk towards them.

Neha jumped on dhruv and hug him tightly.

Dhruv hugged her back and lifted her from the ground and spin her around.

The whole hall echoed with their laughter.

"Look...She is ordering to us to stay away from our husbands and now she is the one who jumped her poor husband as he entered the house." Shivangi do said.

Everyone is the hall broke into a laughter make Dhruv and Neha blushing.

Dhruv touched everyone's feet and share brotherly Hug to my brothers and jijus.

Dhruv's eyes fell on me and he give me a slight nod to greet me. I also nod my head to greet him back.

He looked sincere to me. There is no mischievous in his eyes. I can tell he is completely change. He looked more handsome than before when I last saw him. But not more than Siddharth.
