Rhea's pov

I rush through the doors of my office towards the parking lot.

They said they were coming in the evening, didn't they?

I quickly reach my scooty, tied my scarf around the face, summers can be very hot in India . With my helmet on I start my scooty.

I reached home after a long 30 minutes which included me stopping at a super market, for some snacks my mom ordered me to bring.

I take all the bags and started walking towards the lift.

"Hey, is this laxmi nivas?" Someone called out.

I turn towards the source of the sound and find a pretty tall man, mind me I am tall but he is taller. He is dressed in a formal way, definitely not from our apartment.

I cleared my mind before answering ,"yes" and reached the lift. He followed me into the lift.

We both reach to press the same button, 5th floor.

I retrieved my hand and he pressed the button for us.

"So, do you know some Sharma's in your floor?" He asked looking straight.

My eyes widened a little realising who he might be. He might be the one who is here for my sister. Their family was supposed to come to our house to see my sister.

"Um.., yes I heard someone will be here today to see her," I initiated to find if he is the one.

"Yes, my family is already here with my brother, I was late due to some work," he explained.

So he is not the one, but his brother is. Shit but he doesn't know that I'm the sister of the girl for whom they are here.

The doors dinged and opened, I stepped out and pointed to the house at the end of the row which is my home," that's the house," I informed him.

He nodded, "Thanks nice meeting you."

I rushed in opposite direction to Swetha didi's home.

" Hey, what are you doing here, the family is already in your house," asked Swetha didi who is getting ready.

"I know but his brother was in the lift with me and he asked if I knew my family," I giggled before continuing,"But I didn't tell him that they are my family."

"And why is that?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Can't you see, I am in my jeans, glad I had the scarf that covered my face and this shirt," pointing to the shirt clinging to my body, "my mom would kill me if I walk into the house like this, I don't want to take the risk," I folded my hands.

"Okay fine, I will get you a dress wait here," she reached for the closet and gave me a kurthi which was long reaching below my knees, "now go get ready."

I quickly changed my dress and handed the bags to Swetha to take them into the house.

I waited for a long 15 minutes and finally walked towards my home.

Everyone turn in my direction, Uncle and aunty looking like modern parents, with their both son's sitting beside them. I glance up to see the groom who is dashing his formals and his brother who I met in the lift. I smiled a little towards them walking to my mom who is standing near them.

"She is Aarushi's sister, Rhea," my mom acknowledging me. I nodded giving them a quick smile and rushed into kitchen where my sister and Swetha were there.

I hope he didn't recognise me.

"Did you see him?" My sister asked with a little doubt in her face.

I nodded and took a seat on the kitchen counter. Snacks are laid there and I made no delay in grabbing a sweet. "Did you?" I questioned her.

Swetha giggled beside her, my sister just smiled nodding.

"Had any talks?" I asked suppressing my smile.

" They had and I have a feeling it did go well," Swetha wiggling eyebrows at Aarushi.

Aaru, with cheeks turned red, playfully hit her and turned towards me,"yes, and it truly did go well, he seems like a great guy."

My smiled tripled as I hugged my sister.

"By the way what's his name?" Swetha chided.

"Kiran," Aaru said blushing a little but her eyebrows are creased like she has some doubt in her face.

"What's wrong?"

" I don't know if he likes me, I am not that great, you see," pointing to her face.

Here we go again with the self doubt. "I have already told you that you are beautiful in your own way and it's not about external beauty and never again doubt it," I ordered her.

She nodded, my mom came rushing into the kitchen," they are leaving, come with me," she grabbed my sister and we all went out.

They were already standing ready to go. Kiran was looking only at my sister smiling, they are going to make a great pair, I smiled, internally jumping with happiness.

"We will call you," their mother said to mom and dad. And they all went out. My mom and dad following them to drop them till the lift.

As soon as they left, I exclaimed, "I have a strong feeling that they are so gonna say yes!!" jumping towards my sister. She is red from all our teasing.

Two weeks later

After a day , they called and said they liked my sister . And finally her marriage was settled. Excited is a small word to describe what I am feeling.

I have been planning for over an year on how to enjoy this wedding and it's finally here.

Aaru and kiran, I should probably start calling him Jiju, exchanged their numbers and their conversations have no end, every time I find my sister laughing, it's jiju on the other side making some nasty jokes.

They are going to be the best couple.

Today is their engagement day, we are currently making a doll out of my sister. She is looking so beautiful in her blue lehenga and a subtle makeup , her hair tied into a loose bun, hairs falling on her sides slightly.

Jiju is so gonna get whipped.

I was dressed in a long frock, light pink in colour. Engagement was at our house, in a small hall near our house.

"Are you excited?" I giggled at Aaru.

She said nothing but blushed and nodded a little.

" Come on then, let's go and give jiju heart attack," I said encouraging her.

We laughed as we reached the stage. They were already on the stage and Jiju was awestruck looking at Aaru.

His mom nudged him a little, bringing him out of trance, we stifled our laughs. I didn't see his brother anywhere,Vikram, I knew his name through Aaru.

I never thought weddings would be so hard, I had the hardest job to greet all the guests.

Running a marathon would be easy I guess, smiling at everyone, greeting each other, it is draining all the energy out of me.

The only one enjoying now would be my sister sitting on a couch chatting with her would be husband.

I smiled at them, they look so happy and content. Atleast she got her fairy tale love.
