Tanvi was tired by the time she reached her home. She was working with an NGO in Bangalore. There was a lot of fieldwork involved hence coming back exhausted was a normal phenomenon for her. She liked it this way, it gave her no time to think of her personal life. She was contemplating whether to change or collapse directly on the bed when her ringing cellphone broke her train of thoughts."Hello mam" she spoke sleepily into the phone."Hi, Tanvi. I loved your project report.""Thanks, mam" She replied."Anyways I didn't call to talk about projects. I know its short notice but there is a slight problem. Shruti is ill. She had to go on sudden leave. Would you please take up the function responsibilities? That includes welcome speech for the chief guest as well."Shruti was one of the senior colleagues in the NGO. She was working on an orphanage campaign in Tumkur district. The inauguration

“No !! and this is my final answer.” Tanvi was having a meltdown at her place.Asha said “Dear please try to understand, they are expecting us. If we don’t go then what will they think?”Tanvi said “I don’t care! mom, you promised that you won’t bother me with marriage talks. It’s not fair.”Avdhoot Kirloskar intervened “Tanvi listen to me; let’s talk in the study I will explain everything to you."She followed him into the study and sat glumly facing him.Avdhoot said “You know Tanvi we are proud of you. We love your achievements and passion for helping others. You are an incredibly special girl. Have I ever forced you to follow our commands ?”Tanvi shook her head in a NO.“A girl like you needs a special life partner. Like all parents we just want you to be happy. Aniket is a nice guy and he has similar interests as you. You know he could have

"WTF !!" Tanvi cursed internally "This is so awkward" She was grumpy for rest of the meal. On Asha's insistence, she was forced to help clear away the plates and trays into the kitchen. Though Anjali graciously asked her not to bother as she was the guest. Tanvi quickly returned to her room before her mom could assign her another errand."What does he think of himself. Am I invisible? btw why am I angry. As if I care what he thinks of me" She muttered.She heard a knock and yelled, "Come in."To her surprise, Aniket entered. She blinked and looked at him."I will be leaving to collect Ananya in the next 20 minutes. Please don't be late""20 mins!? I have not even showered yet!" Tanvi said."How many hours do you need to get ready?""I don't need hours, but I do need at least some decent amount of time to shower and change" Tanv

Holding their hands, they tiptoed towards the terrace. She was still confused about why she agreed to accompany him. Soon they were on the terrace surrounded by plants. There were so many of them it looked like a terrace garden. There was a pretty gazebo in a corner with flowery vines running all over it.“Wow!! It is lovely” She exclaimed.“It’s the best part of the house” He replied.“I agree. How come I never thought of exploring the terrace.”They sat in the gazebo. Aniket looked at her amused while she looked around in wonder.“So which book did you pick?” He took the book which was clutched in her hands.She flushed in embarrassment while he read the title.“P. S I love you !!”She flushed “Don’t laugh”.He gave a wicked smile “I didn’t even know this book was in the library. I guess it is Ananya’s. You don’t seem romantic sor

Anjali lovingly offered some more pooris to Tanvi “Take some more."“Thanks, aunty but I had enough. I loved the potato curry btw” Tanvi said.Her stay had been overall quite pleasant. While her father and Niranjan uncle reminisced their college days. Her mother bonded well with Anjali and Sujata. Agnihotirs were nice people. She regretted some of her unfair assumptions about them.Since they had already been to Lonavala several times site seeing was not a priority instead the elders were planning to visit a Ganesh Temple in a nearby town. It was going to be an overnight trip which gave the perfect opportunity for Ananya to arrange her party.Ananya said excitedly to Tanvi “Tanvi didi we have to go shopping today.” “Shopping for what??”Ananya said “For the party of course. Aniket and Yogi Bhaiya, you are also coming with us."Yogi said “And do wh
