3 days before coming to india at arushi's house :-

"Mama baba I'm going to meet my friends okay I'll be back by afternoon " arushi said eating her breakfast.

Her  dad cleared his throat and said " Arushi i hope tum yeh baat samjhe sakti ho and don't be angry okay listen to me " arushi sensed something was bothering her baba " kya hua baba just tell me what happened something happened in the company ek sec aap toh thik ho na " Arushi started her rant's being scared

Her mum stopped her and her dad continued "gudiya i'm fine its just that your 23 now and you'll be 24 in few days i just wanted you to get settled thats it " arushi was way confused now and said " but baba i'm settled see i have a good house that is made up of my money. My company is on its profits and i have the best family so i am settled "

Her baba laughed on her innocence and said " gudiya settled meaning I want you to get married your the last child left in our family to get married now even Zainab who was 1 year older  than you is getting married i really want to see you happy with your own family " arushi was not looking at her baba or anyone now but staring at her food so her mum

" okay okay we will talk about this marriage and wedding all this stuff after we are back from dhidhi's wedding okay ." And she left for her room to get ready and left the house at 2

" hello uncle aaj aapki chuti hai I'll be driving the car by myself okay thank you " she said to her driver smiling.

Arushi was wearing a black jumpsuit suit with a rusty brown shrug and her dior bag and she left her long medium brown hair's open and wore black ysl heels .

Arushi sat in her black ranger rover and drove out of her house.

After one hour off drive through the city of Bollywood yes London  ( as half of the Yash  raj films are shoot here ) . She reached coco grill & lounge in central and as always she was 2 minutes late .

"Arushi  ahmed your late again how many tim.... Ek second are you okay aru " Tanishika asked as soon as arushi came towards them and she was looking pale .

" yeah i'm okay " she tried lying but everyone gave her look like stop lying and tell us the truth " agh everytime right how do you guys get to know " and this time everyone together said

" it's because of your face you can't lie " and they laughed " okay so will you tell us now " aroosh said.

" actually mama & baba wants me to get settle they found a guy for me " they all gasped and said so who's our jiju arushi glared at them and said " he is not your jiju also I told them we will talk about it after my cousins wedding i just want to enjoy this wedding peacefully thats it " .

" anyways can we stop talking about me and eat i'm really hungry "

( i know you guys be wondering she just ate her breakfast but no that was like at 9 in the morning that she ate and after saying bye she went got ready and left at 2 thats why she is hungry)

They all ordered there food and drinks ( non alcoholic) talked about the new gossip and random best friends stuffs and soon left for there house not there parents place but there cute friends house ( ARUSHI AMYRA LEISHA TANISHIKA AND AROOSH are best friends since school and after there college as they were in different fields it was difficult for them to meet so they brought this house with there own savings and named it

" The Chamber of 5 Secrets "

And we would love to give this house a tour this house which was beautiful designed by arushi but with everyone choices and tastes

The living room which was beautifully decorated by Arushi herself.

They had a beautiful backyard ( guys the backyard is like this but the tresses are palm tresses and they don't have any mountains behind the tresses they have a beautiful city view )

A beautiful city view from there backyard.

They had a fireplace setting area but in a modern way and this was tanishika's choice .

They had a massive pool next to there setting area and had a outdoor dining area and a kitchen next to this

There outdoor dinner area and kitchen

There kitchen which was LEISHA choice and designed by arushi and as there house was on.a hill they had a basement which had there favourite activities and things like a indoor pool , arcade , bowling alley, table pool & a private gym

Which was also designed by arushi but with everyone choice ( desgined by arushi meaning she is the one who drew it out for the builders)

They have a home theatre as Amyra , leisha and arushi are a bigg Bollywood Movie Fans and aroosh and tanishika always got dragged to watch the same old Bollywood movies again and again .

This is arushi's room and her walk in closet in this house as she is the oldest of this group  her bedroom was located on the second floor of there house .

This amyra's room and walk in closet and she is the second oldest in this group  was located on the same floor as arushi on the second floor.

This is leisha's room and walk in closet as she is the third oldest in this group  was located on the first floor and with aroosh .

This is Tanishika's room and walk in closet as she is the second youngest person in this group  was located with arushi and amyra's rooms on second floor .

Last but not the least this is aroosh's room and walk in closet yes she is the youngest and she is obsessed with black unlike other people in group who made there rooms aesthetic and white . And was located on the first floor with her. Best friend leisha .

" guys mein ne mama ko kaha tha that ill come till afternoon wait let me just tell her I'm coming tomorrow haha " she said laughing and everyone laughed aswell and walked to there backyard .

" haan agya maha rani ka phone pata hai mujhe pata hai that you will say " maaamaaa roo , eisha , tani and myru dragged me to our house I'm so sorry i'll be back tomorrow " I know it " her mum said mimicking her and arushi was looking at her phone with her mouth open and to her disappointment she was on a FaceTime so all her friends could hear her and they all laughed together.

" haww mama your so rude " she said " what rude you have been saying the same lines since that house has been made and literally every week since 5 years so it's nothing new and I know who drags who i have all the report " and arushi eyes widened and she looked back to see leisha and amyra nervous and she thought bloody imposter they are gonna she quickly said bye to her mum and ran after both the girls .

Soon the whole house was filled with laughter and happiness  after they were done with there running marathon they all went to the kitchen to make a good delicious meal and as i said leisha , amyra and arushi were really good cooks when aroosh & tanishika was good at desserts and mojitos and as always .

Arushi prepared her famous Chicken curry which was a Hyderabadi curry  and leisha made the perfect parathas even thou they were born and brought up in london they loved there culture and food .

Amyra made the perfect chicken kebab and salad and tanishika made fudge brownies and aroosh made mango mojito as last week Tanishika made mojito and aroosh made mango mousse so they switched this time .

And they all went to there rooms and got ready in a casual loose pants and tee and came down in there outdoor dining area with there food and they had a-lot of more gossip sessions and a-lot of deep conversations and then a-lot of lame jokes to brighten up the mode and as they ate and cleaned up all the dishes and they we're about to go inside they all planned and pushed arushi in the pool and she shouted

" WTF GUYS OMG ITS COLDDDD " and everyone laughed but Amyra pushed aroosh in the pool and this time arushi , tanishika and amyra was laughing and leisha knew if she laughed she would have been dead by aroosh so she pushed Tanishika and amyra and now both of them together shouted

" WTH LEISHAAA " Amyra shouted

" WTF LEISHAAA OMG ITS COLD PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR HAND " tanishika shouted and when leisha being so sweet and innocent she gave them her hand and tanishika pulled her in the water and now all were laughing and splashing water at each other and when everything was done and it was getting a-bit cool they went to there rooms had a good hot shower and changed into there pjs and came down to there home theatre and today was the time to watch VIVAH ARUSHI's favourite movie.

After 2 hours the movie was done and except arushi everyone was asleep in there seats and she knew this happens every single time so she just smiled at them and locked the movie theatre from inside incase if there is a robbery or a attack as they live in a house on a hill it wasn't that safe even thou they had security and bodyguards around the by there dear fathers it was still scary for the girls and as they were in the basement movie theatre it was quite the safest or can i say secret place of this house and mostly they all slept together over there and thats the reason they had recliner sofa seats for themselves back to the thing arushi gave each of them there blankets as they had a pool time and also its a-bit cold she spread the blanket on them and herself and soon she fell asleep aswelll . And as all of them ever not at all early rises no one literally no one woke up till 1pm that to because they got a from there mums . Arushi mum called her to come back as they were leaving tomorrow so she needed to pack and stuff  . And aroosh and amyra's mum called them as they had an important meeting tomorrow and there father & brother needed to discuss about that . And last but not the least Leisha had to leave as soon as possible from this because even she is leaving today night for india and tanishika had an appointment and work stuff .

Arushi pov :-

I don't know why but i felt nervous to go inside the house but after a good night out and sleepover with my besties i feel okay now I don't know how that man is i just hope he doesn't turn out like him......

" PHUPOOOOOOOOOOO" My niece and nephew came running towards me and soon Bhabhi came towards me with water .

" uff tumhe pata hai i missed u soo much " her Bhabhi said to her and Arushi smiled at them.

" chalo phir Bhabhi jaldi se meri liye kuch yummy sa bando and we will sit and talk about alot of gossip i heard " she said laughing and her bhabhi pulled her cheeks and said .

my bhabhi was a orphan and she was living with us since she was 10 when she lost her parents in an accident and as baba and uncle were neighbours and close friends they kept bhabhi with us as she didn't have anyone here and sending her back to India was not good as she would loose she studies and everything so she was here actually she was like my older sister thats why i never had a problem because I didn't have a sister we were always like sisters until my bandar brother married her off yep theres is a love marriage and i so happy for them and now she is my permanent bestie anyways back to the topic .

Bhabhi smiled at me and she went to the kitchen i took my niece and nephew together to my room first i made them have a bath then changed them in there cute outfit and went and had a shower myself and then I changed into my home clothes my old tee and a loose pant . Soon Bhabhi also got us some food and I quickly digged into the delicious chicken briyani made by my dear mother.

" acha you said you missed me but jhooti uou didnt even call me " i said .

" Gudiya you were with your best friends okay and i know that you guys were meeting after a long and tiring week and you need some peace so I didn't call you anyways . " she said excited .

"Acha arushi i had to talk about something " she asked and I sensed what she was tryn say .

" meri pyaari Bhabhi agar yeh baat shaadi ki hai toh Nahi please nahi let me enjoy my briyani please " i said

" okay but listen to me once just hear me out arushi i will tell you something listen okay mama and baba if they can they would keep the universe infront of you so you can adore it they can literally do anything to make you happy and smile and they would never choose someone wrong for you and we all know that whatever happened that day wasn't your mistake so just forget that day and move on from that okay and ill tell you one more thing you remember when i came in this house i was just 10 years girl who didn't even know where her ma and papa are she thought they went on a tour without her and she had to live with her neighbour you know for the those three yearss of my life i used to wait infront of my house everyday or stare at it from my window thinking one day they'll come i literally hated armaan aswell because he would often come in my room and wipe my tears and tell me they will never come and one day he came to me as i was staring at the opposite house which was once mine and it was my 13 birthday and wiped my tears and said they will come back just close your eyes and search for them and you'll find them and I actually did it and guess what i found them and from that day that little thing which he did for me made me love him and i am sure one day someone  will do something which will make you certain about the choice you made to marry him he will be the luckiest man on this earth to marry our gudiya okay now enough of this sad session finish your food and start packing we will leave early morning tomorrow. " my Bhabhi said wiping off my tears and her tears and she took our plates and gave me some water and went away with her kids and i was shocked.

"Will someone ever love me as much as bhai loves bhabhi "i thought and i shrugged my  over thinkingness and started packing my suitcases one contained all my wedding clothes and jewellery and one bag contained all my normal kurtis & my makeup and heels . I didn't need much shoes and there will be more functions and less travelling so i'll be carrying only two pairs of shoes and I 'll be doing alot of shopping there aswell so i  packed lightly and once i was done i ate my dinner and not to forget it was already 1am and i received a video call from all of my friends and we wished leisha a safe flight as she was flying off today and soon I slept and woke up when my mama basically threw water on me  and when i  checked the time it was already 8 and we had to leave at 8:40 for the airport and you know desi parents they love to be in airport 5 hours before there flight.

I almost ran to the bathroom and had a very quick shower and jaldi jaldi wore my outfit thank god i kept it out yesterday night and in 20 minutes i was out and i did all my skincare and just kept some mascara and lipgloss and thank god ramu kaka ( our house help ) kept all our bags in the car and all i can say is i was ready at 8:30 sharp but i was finding my charger and i got abit late but we were okay and soon we reached did all the airport stuff and sat in our lounge and and it was already 10 and our flight was at noon 2pm I received a joint video call from everyone

" have a safe flight rushi " they all said and i noticed something

" LEISHA you reached this early " and she said

" aru i think you forgot i was literally in the flight when you guys called and it was a direct flight from London to delhi and now in afternoon i have a flight to udaipur and it was just 8hr 36 minutest thats. It "

" shut up anyways idc i'll be sleeping throughout the flight and i have a direct flight to Hyderabad "

We all laughed and talked alot and soon ended the call and i went and had some lunch + my starbies and thought " at this point Starbucks should adopt me cuz i'm over there half of the time " and she laughed at her own joke . Soon they all boarded the flight and as said arushi was off to sleep that she never noticed the guy beside her 8HOURS LATER . She woke up took her bag and got of the flight as they were in first class even when she woke up she couldn't see the guy beside her .

WELCOME TO HYDERABAD AHMED FAMILY.

Mezaan's pov :-

( this was 24 hours before the flight)

" Mezaan you can't do anything we have decided you and zainab are getting married and thats it u know your baba gave his word 5 years ago and now he can't turn back and before i die i really want to see you settled with your kids " my mama said .

" mama don't say like this " i said

" oh hello I don't know about you but I'm still 30 can't you see i'm so young & handsome " my dad said with srk's swag and i was about to laugh when mama said .

" pata nahi kaha se mujhe yeh mil gaye pata nahi mama ko ine mein kya dekha hai 57 ke hai keh rahe hai 30 matlab peet dekha hai aapna pagal budhe " my mum said first mummering to her self then to dad and thats when i lost it I was laughing so hard until I received a hard glare from mama & dad

" okay baba okay ill get married fine " i said defeated And they looked at eachother and

said "

" mezaan did you book our tickets " my mum asked just to be sure .

" yeah ma i did but a small problem because we booked it today itself there was only two places left so ill be coming tomorrow first flight okay " i said and they said okay take care and they left for there flight .

I looked at all emails and informed my  manager not to call or email him unless its a urgent issue and called manav my college bestie we have been friends for a long time now and we often call eachother and ask how are you but nowadays we are quite close and call literally twice a week because of our hectic schedule.

" hey what's up kya kar raha hai tu kal actually i wanted to ask if we can clubbing tomorrow i'm free but we can go only if your free " manav asked .

" bhai kal subha meri flight hai india ki remember pagal " i said.

" oh fxuk I forgot its fine then have a safe flight " he said

" thanks bro wese tu kya kar raha hai " i asked

" bas kuch nahi yaar uff I'm telling you if this keeps happening nah i will kill myself because of both the lady's of my house matlab they can focus on themselves but noo they have to focus on me like wth " manav started his weekly rant and i being dumb asked whoo to which I received a glare and he said .

" MY MOTHER AND MY BHABHI like bas subha  shaam manav beta shaadi karle , manav mujhe devrani chaleye like thik hai aap ho chaleye to aap log le lo like it's ridiculous ladki pede par se toh nahi milte na and i am totally okay with arrange marriage and shit but no what do they say MANAV BETA YOU SHOULD DATE HER FOR A. WHILE YOU SHOULD FALL IN LOVE THEN YOU MARRY HER & if i say okay I'm going on a date they take out the full bio data of the girl and says she is not my type mezaan do something or else ill die " he said almost crying and i can understand this because mama & chachi are the same and now we see i over here with my wedding in four day's totally forced .

" theek hai theek hai i'll tell aunty that I'm finding a girl for you so she can stop all this for 2 weeks till I'm back and then we will find a solution okay till then don't stress and you have to leave by next two weeks its my wedding nikkah just family hai nahi toh I would have invited you to that aswell but shaadi hai you must come because your my only bestie " and he said okay have a safe flight and we ended our calls and i quickly called aunty it was not that late so i called her .

" namaste aunty kesi ho aap " i asked even thou i'm muslim i like to great others with there own native hello .

" mein theek hoon beta tum kese ho and congratulations for your wedding pata nahi manav kab shaadi karga " she said and i asked her the most important question.

" I'm fine aunty but omg I heard your finding a dating + shaadi girl for manav and manav didn't tell me this i heard a rumour is it true " and as expected her eyes widened and she asked what rumours.

" apparently there are rumours that manav malhotras mom has been finding a girl for him and you know aunty when these type of rumours spreads even the bad girls act sanskari and they get boys and there family like this and families uske jaal mein phass bhi jate hai and the she ruins there family and you don't want that right " i said and she nodded and said

" beta if the rumours are because of me then why don't you do my work then the rumours will vanish and maybe you can find manav's dream girl right wese bhi he is coming to your wedding please find a good punjabi girl for himm please. " and as expected she did it she gave me the job its so easy with aunty she gets stressed really easily and she hates being in rumours or headlines.

" okay done i will find a girl for her you and bhabhi take rest okay bye " and i cut the call and called manav "done bhai done tension mat lena okay we will solve this "

He manav though always it was too early to get married he 's 26 aswell but he believes in soulmates and love and he thinks rushing things up will make his soulmate go away but I don't get it so. We ignore that bit but he is literally a dream husband what a girl expects .

Back to my life I slept early and woke up with my alarm and dressed up and took my suits cases and offf to the airport and after all the airport stuff we we're sitting in the flight and in about 30 minutes we are off to India here i come but I noticed a girl is sitting next to me but I seemed like an wall to her she was so engrossed in setting in her seat and soon she was off to sleep and whenever she woke up for work or food we had a barrier between us so I couldn't see her much and after the plane landed she rushed with her family and quickly got out the plane.
