"This girl, how many times I told you to call me by my name, I like it when you call me by my name" Mia told her while shaking her head as if to tell her that she was truly disappointed with the way she calls her
"But mother told me to never call my elders with their names it is not lady like" Ananya told her innocently to which Maria also nodded her head agreeing with her daughter's words
"Then just call me some other name but don't call me sister it makes me think I am old" Mia told her as she really doesn't want Ananya to call her sister as she called Vihaan brother which made uncomfortable for every time she calls both of them as sister and brother
"By the way, why the sudden visit auntie is there any problem or any important work here" Mia changed the subject as she doesn't want to listen to any excuses of Ananya
"There are no problems but we came here as it is very important and our presence is needed here" Maria told her in roundabout manner as she really don't want to speak much with Mia
"Really then is there anything I can help you with" Mia asked them as she was really excited to see the both of them as it is very rare for them to come to this country
Before even Maria can reply they heard the sound of the car coming and they all stood and walked towards the entrance and Mia also followed them curiously as to why they were all so excited
The car came to a halt in front of the entrance and Ronin and Vihaan came out of the car as usual and while Ronin was coming towards his son and daughter-in-law Vihaan stretched his hand towards Aadvika indicating her to take his hand and Aadvika also took his hand with a smile as she stepped out of the car
The movement Vihaan came out Mia became excited and thought that maybe his parents were being so excited as they didn't saw him for few months but soon, she came to the realisation that it is not the case as she saw the beautiful lady in her Pistachio Green designer lehenga with beautiful eyes and rosy lips with the well-proportioned body which makes every woman around her feel jealous coming towards them hand in hand with Vihaan
"Welcome Young madam, Welcome young master" all servants and guards bowed to them the movement they stepped out and started to come towards the other family members
Vihaan just nodded his head with his same cold and arrogant face while Aadvika gave a gentle smile to them as she followed Vihaan towards his family
"Young madam!" Mia stunned for a minute with the way all are greeting the new comer
"She is Vihaan's fiancée my future daughter-in-law so it is very common for them to call her respectfully" Maria told her so calmly as if it is expected without knowing that she dropped a bomb on Mia who stood frozen with the new found information
"Hi Bhabhi (1) you are looking so gorgeous no wonder brother agreed to marry you without objection" Ananya ran towards them holding Aadvika's hand as she grinned at Vihaan who gave a cold stare to her saying her to not spout nonsense
"You became thin again I told you to eat more are you not listening to my words now" Vihaan chided her as he easily lifted her holding her arms as if she is nothing more than an air
"I am eating and now I am a lady so can you stop treating me like a child" she glared at him for making fun of her infront of a new member but Aadvika simply laughed to herself looking at their antics
After going near to them Aadvika went towards Vihaan's parents and bent down to take their blessing by touching their feet as it is the tradition in the country to take blessings by touching the feet of the elders
"God bless you my child, may your wishes be fulfilled" they both blessed her with a gentle smile which is from the bottom of their hearts with her respect towards the elders
"I am sorry madam and sir that you have missed such an important occasion of your only son because of my personal problems" Aadvika asked for their forgiveness as she knew that because of her they missed their engagement
"it's not a big issue dear there is no need for you to feel guilt or sad we don't believe in engagements in fact even your aunt and me also got married without getting engaged" Avinash told her with a gentle smile on his face which is very rare for others to see
It is a well-known fact that Vihaan's father and mother's is a love marriage and they went against Ronin to get married and only after few years into their marriage did Ronin agreed with their relationship and accepted Maria as his daughter-in-law
"And there is no need for you to follow all these traditions and customs we are all open-minded people so please be like your usual self with us" Maria told her as she held her hand and took her inside the house totally forgetting about her son who came along with them
Vihaan helplessly shook his head at his mother's antics and took Ananya in his arms as he followed them inside while Mia also followed them inside despite being still in shock
"Come here sit with us we want to talk a lot with you" Maria told Aadvika as she made her to sit with her while Avinash and Ronin sat beside Maria and Vihaan adjacent to Aadvika holding Ananya in his lap happily talking with her while Maria spoke with Aadvika
Ronin and Avinash indulged in their own conversation as it is very rare for all of them to be together under same roof and Mia became alone as she sat opposite to Vihaan with a glass table in between them as she looked at Aadvika with envy while fisting her hands to make her facial expression remain same
