Rohan drove home with a smile still plastered on his face, his mind replaying the wonderful evening he had with Arya. He entered the living room, heading to his room upstairs, without noticing his family seated at the dining table, who had come to pay him a surprise visit.
They watched him climb the stairs to his room, their faces filled with amusement.
"Mom, Dad, did he see us, or are we now invisible to him?" Ram asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief. He was Rohan's younger brother, just twelve years old.
"I guess he looks so happy, I'm sure his blind date went well."Mrs. Singh smiled knowingly.
"Should we go and see for ourselves?"Mr. Singh's eyes twinkled with curiosity.
They nodded in unison, stood up, and climbed the staircase to Rohan's room. When they reached his doorstep, Ram tapped on the door gently.
Rohan, who was in his room taking off his clothes to freshen up, heard the knock and thought it might be his cook. He opened the door, and his eyes widened in surprise as he saw his family standing in his doorway, their faces beaming with smiles.
He let out a startled scream and quickly shut the door, trying to process if it was really his family standing outside his room.
"Rohan, open the door!" Mrs. Singh called out, knocking on the door again.
Rohan took a deep breath, composed himself, and opened the door, forcing a smile onto his face. His family entered the room, their eyes scanning his face, eager to know about his blind date.
Rohan's eyes widened in surprise as he faced his family, who were now seated on his bed, their faces filled with amusement.
"What are you all doing here?" he asked.
"Is this how you welcome your family that you haven't seen for a week?"Mrs. Singh said, feigned a frown, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
"Why did you scream and close the door when you saw us?"Ram asked.
"Because you all got me scared. You never told me you were coming to my house."
"We came to pay you a surprise visit and also to know about your blind date." Mr.Singh said.
"Wait, let me get this straight. You mean to tell me, you all left your house to come to mine just to ask about my blind date?"
His family nodded simultaneously, their faces grinning from ear to ear. Rohan sighed tiredly, shaking his head at their antics.
"So, tell us, son, how did it go?" She pulled him down to sit beside her.
"We are curious to know. Please tell us, so we can start preparing for the arrangement to meet her one on one." Mr.Singh said.
Rohan's family nodded in unison, their faces filled with anticipation. Rohan sighed and stared at them, his face a mix of amusement and resignation.

The next morning, they sat around the dining table, enjoying their breakfast. Mrs. Singh's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"So, son, when are we seeing this Arya girl you went on a date with?"
"How did you know her name was Arya? I never mentioned her name."
"You did, last night when we asked you about your date. You kept mentioning her name countless times without knowing."Ram teased.
"When are we seeing her? I am dying to meet my future daughter-in-law." He asked, and his wife nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with anticipation.
"Easy, family, we only just went out once."
"Then go out with her again. This is actually the first time you went on a blind date and returned home with a smile. You wouldn't stop complimenting how she is." She said.
"There's something you should also know about her."
"What?"Mr. Singh's eyes narrowed.
Rohan hesitated before speaking. "She...She's Karan's ex-wife."
He raised his face to see any reaction on their faces, but they remained neutral.
"And?...We know about that, Viti told us already."Mrs. Singh spoke up, a hint of a smile on her face.
"You all knew?"
His family nodded in unison, their faces breaking into smiles.
"Although I haven't seen her in person, but I am really dying to meet her. And I can see you like her already."Mrs. Singh said, smiling.
Rohan's face turned bright red, and he looked down. His family continued eating, their faces filled with knowing smiles.
*KABIR'S MANSION*
Arya and Maya were busy helping out in the kitchen, while the rest of the family lounged in the living room, engaged in various activities.
Ved spoke up, his brow furrowed. "Kiara and Sonia, why are you two just sitting there instead of helping Arya and Maya in the kitchen?"
Zara nodded in agreement. "I think he's right."
Kiara rolled her eyes, her look dismissive. "I don't want to get my hands dirty. I just polished my nails."
Sonia chimed in, her voice equally nonchalant. "Me too."
Jash's eyes narrowed. "How will you learn how to cook?"
"We can cook, Uncle."Sonia shrugged.
"Then prove it by going to the kitchen. I've never seen you two in the kitchen cooking for the family. Don't you know you'll be somebody's wives tomorrow?" Zara's husband said.
"Let them be, they're still young and full of life. They'll learn." Gian intervened. His wife nodded in agreement.
"You haven't told me the name of the guy you went on a blind date with." Maya said.
Arya smiled, about to reveal the name, when Samara's scream pierced the air.
Everyone's heads turned towards the sound, their faces filled with concern.
They quickly rushed upstairs to Samara's room. As they opened the door, they saw her looking frightened, clutching the bed to her chest.
"Samara, what's wrong?"Gian's wife rushed to her side, her face worried.
Roshni joined in, her voice soothing. "Calm down, tell us what's wrong."
Samara panted, her eyes wild with fear. "My baby...she tried to kill my baby."
"Who's trying to kill your baby?"Sonia's eyes widened.
Samara's eyes scanned the room, landing on Arya, who stood by the door with a worried look.
"She!" Samara accused, pointing at Arya. "She tried to kill my baby."
The room fell silent, everyone's faces shocked.
"What are you talking about?" Arya asked confusedly.
"Calm down, Samara, it's just a dream."Jash intervened
"It's not just a dream...I saw her chasing me with a knife, trying to harm my baby."
"Arya is not someone like that."Maya said, defensive.
"I know what I saw. She tried to kill my baby."Samara's voice rose.
"It's okay, calm down. It was just a bad dream."Roshni said, trying to calm her down.

Later in the evening, Karan returned from work, his face tired and worn. Samara greeted him.
"Karan, I had the most terrible dream," she said, her voice trembling. "I saw her and she was trying to harm our baby," She continued.
Karan remained neutral as he began to undo his shirt. He didn't say a word, his silence unsettling.
"Karan, are you listening to me?" Samara asked, her voice rising.
"Samara, don't let it bother you. Besides, it's just a dream, so let it go."
"Is that what you're going to say?" she asked, disappointed.
"Look, Samara, I'm tired and I need to freshen up. Then I'll go downstairs and eat."
He turned and walked away, leaving Samara staring after him, confusion and frustration etched on her face.
