The priest looked at his stuff again and observed whatever he was doing.
"In this year yes, lekin dusri tareekh bohot samay baad hai. 1 se 2 saal"
"Fir to 5 mahine baad wali date hi sahi hai" Mom said and everyone agreed in response.
After a while of discussion, everyone stood up and said goodbye as it was already late and should head home.
My mom hugged Anika.
I stepped forward and hugged her and suddenly, Sara and Ishan and Sahil went:
"Oooooooo"
"Chup. Teeno k teeno badmaash ho" Mom said and they started laughing like idiots.
Inhe to mai batata hu.
I got in my car and started driving towards my parents' penthouse. Sara sat in the passenger seat and mom and dad sat at the back.
"Bhai to ek dum—" Sara started.
"Complete that and fir mere se zyaada bura koi nahi hoga" I threatened.
"Oye!" Dad said "Aise baat karte hai chhoti bhen se?"
"Vahi to na papa. Krish bhai has no manners. Yahi sikhaya hai aapko humne bhaiya?"
"Don't poke him Sara" Mom said.
We reached home and my parents went to sleep straight away. 
I was about to go to my room and call Anika but I got a call from Kartik.
He'll not let me live and love.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Can you get here? It's kind of urgent" He said.
"Fine"
I walked out of the house and got in my car. I drove to our spot. 
Whenever something nice happens, there's always Nyxen Mehra ruining the day at the end. He has become the absolute hurdle in my happiness to life.
If it were up to me, I'd straight up lock him in the jail but to do that, we need proof. And how we're going to get that? I don't know and it bothers me all the time.
I got there and saw that it no one else was there except Kartik.
"Where's everyone else?"
"They're on their way"
I nodded.
I sat down at the chair and leaned back on it. I closed my eyes for a moment before Kartik said "You're not going to involve her in it, are you?"
I sat up straight instantly "No. Obviously not"
"Good"
We sat in silence again.
"When is the date?"
"Of what?"
"New baby"
Kartik smiled and it's that rare smile of his.
"In a month"
"What! I'm not gonna be here!"
"That's okay —"
"NO! That's not okay. I was there when Vihaan was born and i want to there when new baby comes"
Kartik opened his mouth again but just chuckled.
"We'll ask her to call her chachu and ask him to come immediately, is that okay?"
"It's a— It's a girl?"
"It is"
"Kartik I- Congratulations man! I know how long you've wanted to have a girl. This is great news. I'm so so so so fucking happy for you"
"Emotional kyu ho raha hai?" Kartik said and hugged me.
"Wo m-"
"Wo ye isko rone ki aadat hai" I heard Ishan's voice and just sighed when I saw him.
"Shakal mat bana. You love me" Ishan said again.
"Delusion" I muttered.
"We get annoyed by you actually" Sahil added.
I dont what got into me but i just couldn't talk about my brother.
These guys are my real brothers.
"Kartik you know what? Whatever urgency it was, I don't wanna hear it. I got engaged, you're having a baby girl —"
"YOURE HAVING A BABY GIRL?" Sahil and Ishan said at the same time.
"See? Let's just enjoy today. Nyxen Mehra will be here tomorrow as well because he's not gonna leave us alone for a long, long time"
"He's right" Sahil said "I am too tired to hear his name right now"
Kartik considered it for a moment and then nodded.
"Fine"
