On a vibrant morning in Mumbai's bustling street , 'SHREYAM'  the Agnihotri home radiates happiness and abuzz with laughter and joy , celebrates a double delight as the Agnihotri's host grand housewarming (garhpravesh) and their elder son HRIDANSH sacred thread ceremony (janeu).

[SHREYAM is Agnihotri's villa name]

[" Janeu" is basically a tradition in Hinduism family's (in many hindu families) janeu also known as upanayan sanskar or yajnopavita]

A women in her fifties "TARA AGNIHOTRI,(a lady with kind nature and alluring smile , She is the sole of the family and house) loving matriarch of the family, flitted about the house, her vibrant red saree a testament to her infectious energy. She is sweet and simple lady who loves her family .

Her husband, RAJ AGNIHOTRI , ( Head of the Tarisha industry and Shreyam empire )trailed closely behind, attempting to calm her frazzled nerves. As the perfect foil to his wife's exuberance, Raj's gentle demeanor belied his position as the patriarch of Shreyam.

" Tara Tara, my love, please listen," Raj implored, "everything is under control. Take a moment to rest and refresh yourself." But Tara would have none of it and just stare her husband.

"Raj, can't you see how much still needs to be done?" she exclaimed, her hands fluttering in exasperation.

"Here you are, telling me to sit down and drink juice, when there's so much work left to be done. You drink your juice, dear, and let me attend to my tasks" With that she again started her work

"With a soft sigh, Raj shook his head, his eyes filled with a loving exasperation as he watched Tara bustle about"Ofcourse why not she bustle afterall it's his son janeu sanskar and their garh pravesh

Mumma dadda "As Raj heard the familiar voice, his eyes shifted from Tara to the stairs, where the sound was coming from, and landed on the source - his daughter, NIHIRA."

"NIHIRA AGNIHOTRI , the radiant princess of the Agnihotri family, descended the stairs in a stunning vibrant pink anarkali, her cheerful voice echoing throughout the villa. This captivating young woman in her early twenties exuded confidence and charm. Her mid-length hair cascaded down her back, with a subtle curl at the ends, framing her heart-shaped face and smooth, fair skin. Her bright, inquisitive hazel-brown eyes sparkled with warmth, reflecting her adventurous spirit and passion for life. With a unique blend of elegance, playfulness, and bold style, Nihira's presence was unmistakable, filling the space with her infectious energy."

She went to her parents, hug them and ask them how's she looking and as usual her dadda being the most cheerful person compliments her in all the way and her mother, with a warm smile, gently applied a kala tika to behind her ear  and performed the traditional hand gesture of  whispering blessings to ward off any evil eye" She smile at her mother antics and also done same gesture to her parent's

"You are looking like a phuski bomb" a voice came from the door and they all turned to the source of voice who is watching all three of them and the couple smile after looking at him as he heading towards th trio

And he is none other than.....

HRIDANSH AGNIHOTRI, a charming and fit young man in his late twenties, walked into the house, his gym clothes clinging to his athletic physique. Standing at 6 feet tall, with a lean and athletic build, broad shoulders, and chiseled features, he flashed a captivating smile . He was a perfect blend of his parents' captivating traits, inheriting his mother's deep, striking charcoal black eyes that sparkled with warmth and kindness. From his father, he inherited a charming aura that was irresistible to women, a magnetic charm that could sweep anyone off their feet. This winning combination of his parents' best qualities made Hridansh a truly captivating individual. His dark hair was perfectly messy, and his strong jawline was accentuated by a slight stubble.

He came and touch his parents feet and than turn towards his sister, and said in a teasing way "Ira  you look like a stree (ghost) in this dress!"

Nihira's eyes rolled heavenward in utter exasperation, accompanied by a dramatic sigh that conveyed her annoyance. She flashed a tight-lipped, saccharine smile at her brother - the sweetness laced with sarcasm . With a flick of her wrist, she tossed a pillow in his direction, which he caught with effortless ease, his reflexes on point.

Hridansh, unfazed by his sister's playful jab, and tossed the same pillow back to her, which hit her arms a little.

She said in an exaggerated  and dramatic tone, “Ouch! Dadda bhai hit me!” while her brother rolled his eyes, feeding the drama of her sister

"Hridansh" his father said and glare at him while pulling his daughter in side hug and rubbing her arms

"Dad she threw the pillow at me first and you're not saying anything to her" Hridansh complained, then wrapped his mumma in a hug

Kaha tha hriyuu tu subah se ? (Where were you, hriyuu) Tara asked while hugging him and caressing his cheeks

Hridansh groaned, "Maa, not that name again!" And  rolled his eyes good-naturedly as he don't like the name anymore but his mother love this name

"Come on, Hriyuu! Admit it, it's a cute name! And don't forget, when you were little, you'd always light up with a grin whenever I called you Hriyuu. But the moment I said Hridansh, you'd pout and cry, 'Mumma, I'm your Riyuu!' in that adorable baby voice of yours. She smiles  just reminiscing about his childhood sweetness!

Just then, a voice boomed from the doorway, "Your Hriyuu is on a mission, Aunti" . A tall man claded in kurta pyajama exuded  effortlessly style ,with his charming smile enter into the house .DHAIRYA AHUJA , and CEO of Ahuja Industries, announced with a chuckle.

As he enter and he touches tara and raj feets and they both give their blessing to him .

"Jeete raho khush raho beta" Tara and Raj said in unison

(Have a happy and long life)

"Or wo wala ashirwad ka kya aunti" Dhairya said to tara

(And what about that blessing aunti)

"Or konsa wala ashirwad Dhairya" tara asked in comfusing tone

( Which blessing )

"Jaldi Shadi ho jaye wo wali blessing aunti" Dhairya said in shy tone

"Ohh,wo wali tara said in teasing tone and she said Chalo jaldi jaldi sundar si bahu bhi mil jaye humko, hriyuu to kar nhi rha hai kam se kam tu hi saas sasur bna de humko"and they all laughed

(Oh, that blessing—I'm hoping you find a beautiful wife so we can become in‑laws. Since Hriyu isn’t even interested in marriage, at least you could give us a daughter‑in‑law and make us in‑laws)

By the way  "What mission are you talking about, Dhairya?" Tara asked

Dhairya's face lit up with a mischievous grin and give a side eye look to hridansh  "A secret mission, of  your Hriyuuu Aunti," he said, drawing out the nickname in a teasing tone.

Hridansh shot Dhairya an angry glare, but Dhairya royally ignored him, unfazed by the warning look. Instead, he plopped down on the sofa, looking like the epitome of innocence.

What are you doing here ?hridansh question his bestfriend

I'm here for the function ,aunti personally invited me . So here i'm to make sure you don't get too bored.

Hridansh (rolling his eyes) "I don't need a babysitter, Dhairya."

Oh, I'm not here to babysit, I'm here to ensure the party doesn't start without me , Dhairya said.

Now enough both of you tara interrupted between the two bestfriend, then turn  towards hridansh and ask him to get ready as pooja is going to start in sometime.

He nodded and started heading towards his room when he heard Nihira mentioning a name that made him stops in his track. His heart skips a beat as he froze , his ears perked up and lips curved into a very beautiful smile at the mere mention of that name .

Who was the one who made hridansh felt like this, whose mere mention bring a smile to his face......
