Krish pov:
After the event, the relatives left after congratulating and the rest of us, just our family and a few friends stayed behind.
Anika had already changed and was sitting in a beautiful anarkali suit... I think that's what it is called.
Our parents were busy with i have no idea what kind of stuff and we were all sitting on the terrace. The sun had already set and it was dark. There was a little fire in the middle and all of us sat around it.
Anika was sitting in front of me with Yuvika on her one side and Ishita bhabhi on the other. Kartik, who cannot stay away from her, sat beside her.
Ishan and Sahil were beside me, using their phones. 
Vihaan was sleeping on my chest.
After the ceremony, he didn't let go of me and I love this kid so fucking much.
I saw Anika talking to Ishita bhabhi about her new firm. Ishita bhabhi works at a corporate firm and is at a really high post.
"You should make it less obvious that you're staring at her" Ishan whispered and snickered.
I looked at him with a fake smile and said "Do you want me to expose you?
"Fuck off man" He said "Anyway, when are you leaving for London?"
"In about two weeks"
He nodded.
"When's your wedding?"
He got visibly sad and looked at the fire. "Next week"
Everything in his life is moving on pretty fast and I don't think he has been able to move on from his ex. We all hated her since the beginning and didn't ever put on an act to be nice to her either.
He clearly has some kind of attraction to this woman he's getting married to but he still is not okay with this wedding.
"Bachho!" I heard my dad call all of us and we went down. It's funny how most of us are almost 30 but would immediately respond to 'bachho'
The priest was also still there and I wondered why but then suddenly remembered that we have to fix the date for our wedding.
The eldest and then us, sat in the living room of Anika's house and went on about the dates.
"There are two dates that are the most auspicious" The priest said "One is on this day exactly after a month"
My dad said "That works best. I mean, achhe kaam mai deri kyu karni, am I right?"
"Sahi baat hai" Anika's dad said.
"Arey but Krish is going to London for 3 months" Mom said.
Everyone looked at me suddenly.
"There's just...a lot of stuff" I tried to reason.
"I just started my new business too, I don't think I can afford to take off for a week or two" Anika added and looked at me.
I softly smiled at her.
"The next date is after 5 months" The priest said.
I thought about it for a moment.
"That will work" I said.
"Chalo ji, Fir to done karte hai ye date?" Anika's mom said.
"Anika you're okay with it?" My mom asked her.
"Yes aunty. It works out perfectly" She said. 
"Just out of curiosity, are these the only dates or are there more?" I asked.
