DESTINED ENCOUNTERS
—🪷🐚🪕🦢—


"...so will meet you tomorrow at dinner then? Bye beta," Riddhima ended the call, triggering a flurry of questions from Rutvik and Roohi about the impending visit.

"Is bhabhi coming tomorrow?"

"We are finally meeting her?"

"What should I wear?"

Riddhima raised her hands to stop the onslaught. "STOP! If you are going to behave like this, I don't think this marriage will be happening-"

"WHAT!?" Rudransh's horrified voice interrupted her, startling everyone.

"What what?" Roohi asked.

Rudransh composed himself. "What were you guys talking about?"

"Bhabhi is coming for dinner tomorrow!" Rutvik exclaimed excitedly.

"Common Rutu! Badi maa just said it isn't finalized yet," Roohi corrected him.

"But I already said I have no problem with your decision," Rudransh interjected.

"Oo khoteya! Viah tenu kalle nu karna hai? Kudi di marzi da vi pata hona chahida hai," scolded Riddhima.

(Idiot! You are the only one marrying? Her consent is required as well.)

"Oh come on mummy, veerji nu dekho ik vari, itte sohne munde nu kon inkar karega?" Rutvik teased.

(See brother once, who will say no to such a nice guy?)

"Veerji ke chamche, kya chahiye tujhe iss bar?" Rudransh narrowed his eyes at Rutu.

(Brother's yes-man, what do you need this time?)

"Sohni jehi, Adi bhabhi." Both Roohi & Rutvik smiled ear to ear.

(A very nice, Adi sister-in-law)

Ignoring them, Rudransh walked away, his siblings' address for her as "bhabhi" making him flustered. He needed to hide his flushed face.

"Kabir? Listen just-"

"Hold on dude. I am just on the way to your room."

Before Rudransh could say anything else, his best friend, Kabir Chauhan, entered.

"Isn't it too informal for a COO to directly barge into the CEO's room, at his home?" Rudransh raised an eyebrow.

"Ahh. But CEO's best friend can. And last time I checked, I am your best friend."

"Listen. Postpone our flight to Tokyo. We'll leave at midnight instead of evening," Rudransh informed.

"Ae bawle! Khud ka charter hai toh kuch bhi karega kya!?" Kabir was a little agitated about ruining his sleep.

(Hello idiot! You own a charter doesn't mean you will do as you please!?)

"Kabir, listen-"
