Rajvansh palace,
All the family members along with meera were sitting in the living room talking about meera's marriage proposal to rishiraj das, the elder son of srikant das one of their most oldest raw material provider.
The day before yesterday meera talked about her relationship with Rishi. Her family was shocked initially but agreed with her. As she's their older daughter of the family but younger than hriday they were a bit protective over her.
In the Rajvansh family, the eldest grand couple are Arunaditya Singh Rajvansh and Seeta Singh Rajvansh. Both had two sons only named Shekhar the elder one and Yashwant the younger one. Shekhar married his love Jankee Shrivastava just after he finished his studies and was ready to take over his father's business. At that time they only had a textile business but later on, with Shekhar's creative business mind and Yashwant's marketing strategies, they expanded their business to many other fields.
Yashwant's marriage was an arranged one but he also loved his wife no less than a lover, he got married to Veena Oberoi.
Shekhar had two sons and one daughter named Hriday, Meera, and Jay.
Whereas Yashwant had one son and one daughter named Advait and Gauri.
Hriday is the elder among the siblings after him comes Advait then meera and Jay being twins and lastly Gauri the younger sibling.
Advait is currently the CFO of Rajvansh Group of Industries whereas Hriday is the CEO. Hriday is also the founder of CS industries his own which he developed with his hard work and comes under the most desirable networking among all the industries. Hriday wants to make advait the CEO of the company to avoid future family disputes. His brother Jay wants to become a wildlife photographer so it'll not be an issue in the future.
Meera is working as a fashion designer and has her own business renowned as 'kala boutiques' whereas Gauri is currently studying medicines and is in her second last year, also they all will get their part of the property from hisgrandparent's will as preplanned.
Meera being Shekhar's only daughter always had an over-protectiveness for her. Not like he doesn't love Gauri but Meera being the first daughter in the family brought another level of joy. After Meera's proposal, he secretly investigated the guy Rishi Raj Das whom his daughter loves. No wonder why he likes Rishi and also his family background. He already knew Anjana but he didn't know about her being the daughter of Srikant their oldest raw material retailer. He and Jankee liked Anjana from the very beginning since she often came to the palace on a hriday. Though they kept their relationship secret but his parents nothing was impossible. They saw love and adoration in their son's eyes and recognized his love for Anjana before he could even realize himself.
Therefore Shekhar put the condition before Rishiraj asking his sister's hand for a hriday. When he got to know about this he got shocked thinking how his parents found out. But later got to understand when he talked with Jankee on the very same night about the matter. After talking with Anju he straight went to his parents but Shekhar was not present at that time so he asked his mother.
Being the best lovers of their time, he knew his parents would never hide anything from each other thus he got his answer from his mother only. He felt so proud of his parents at that time and his love for them increased by thousands of folds for them.
Seeta voiced out her thoughts looking at Srikant who came there to meet and talk about these marriage things,
"We know your Anjana Srikant Beta, but we don't know about Rishiraj your son."
Arunaditya hummed and gestured to his son Shekhar who was busy glaring at Rishiraj to continue the talk.
"I think Anjana will be perfect for our Hriday, as in life partner".
Shekhar said whereas his wife Jankee just shook her head.
"Shekhar we are here to talk about our meera. Don't you think it is moreimportant right now?"
"Haa...i.. i.. ah yes where were we?"
"We haven't even started yet!"
Jankee said glaring at her husband. Shekhar later further interrogated Rishiraj as a strict father but to his surprise, Rishiraj passed his test with flying colors.
Rishiraj the youngest entrepreneur with a sharp mindset, and business skills, was easy for him. He genuinely loved meera and meera also loved him. They are indeed the best couple.
After so many discussions and talks, elders agreed to both couple's marriage and also to conduct their marriage together.

At Rajvansh group of industries,
Hriday was coming back to his office from the meeting when he met with his parents in his office. Jankee was constantly fiddling with her saree and getting anxious about Hriday's decision. When all three settled down on the couch placed at the corner of his office, Shekhar cleared his throat saying,
"Hriday we are here to talk about something important. "
"Yes Dad"
"We are here to talk about our decision which we discussed with family members yesterday regarding meera's marriage and yours."
Hriday sighed and knowing this would happen, he was ready to face everything if his mishti was with him.
"Shekhar we already know about him we have to ask his mishti, right Hriday?"
Hriday got embarrassed and cleared his throat. And replied to his mother,
"Maa, what are you? If you know everything then why are you wasting time!"
His mother gasped and pinched Shekhar astonished at her son's response. Her son never agreed this easily even without throwing any tantrum or his stubbornness.
Just then everything was settled, jay barged into his office running and huffing.
"Maa when anju didi will become my anju bhabhi? Have you guys decided on any specific date or something?"
" From when you were hearing our talks, how much did you hear or did you hear everything?"
Hriday shouted at his brother getting annoyed thinking he'd tell to Anjana when he wanted to be the first one to tell her about this.
After his parents left after discussing with him everything, he got busy with his work. Dhruv his secretary knocked on the door and informed him about Srikant's arrival.
He stood up and welcomed Srikant into his office and made him sit opposite his desk.
"Anjana had informed you beforehand, am I right?"
"Yes father-in-law, your daughter informed me about your arrival."
Hriday replied and on the other hand, Srikant was surprised to see hisconfidence when he addressed him as father-in-law. So he decided to go with Anju's advice and pretended to act like a strict father.
"Hriday, my anjana is my lifeline. I know she already informed you about her being adopted at the age of six from the Laadki foundation, but it came to me as a duty to inform you as her father."
Hriday smiled at him already knowing about this. Anju never hides anything from him except Rishiraj's behavior towards her. Hriday replied,
" Uncle let us be real to each other. I know one day or another I have to ask about mish- sorry Anju's hand to you for our marriage. And I am more than happy for the opportunity to promise you about her happily ever after."
Hearing him Srikant became emotional and decided to drop the idea of interrogating him.
"You do love her. I can see it in your eyes. Please promise that you'll protect her, and will never make her feel alone, she has longed for her mother's love, and being a single parent I was not able to fulfill her wish, so I request you to fulfill her every dream son! She's so precious to me."
Hriday stood up and came to Srikant and sat on his knees in front of him.
"Dad, I can call you that right?"
" Did you ask your father before calling him?"
They laughed. Hriday took his palms and kissed his palm to seal the promise to keep them forever.
"I notice you called me with three different names just now. And I like your confidence son."
"Naah, that was nothing. I called in three different stages in one day to make you feel the names with their importance. "
Srikant was impressed with him and said,"You know I know I shouldn't but let me tell you this. Anju asked me to
interrogate you very strictly as your father did with Rishi for meera."
Hriday pouted and mentally noted to take revenge on her for her antics.
"Don't tell her that I told you this. Instead, act like you got afraid of me okay? You know she kept me awake late giving me lessons to ask this, ask that, and all."
Hriday laughed and stood up along with Srikant. They both hugged each other and bid goodbyes with meet-soon gestures.
The whole day hriday thought about their marriage. Hriday loved meera but his knowing Anjana itself came with Rishi's background so he was quite relieved about meera's future.
.
After 2 weeks,
Both couples agreed to meet with their families and discuss their marriage in their presence.
When everyone was enjoying the gathering, the ladies along with Anju and meera also involved with them whereas all the males were discussing arrangements. Rishi gestured to hriday to talk to him outside.
Hriday came outside and stood beside Rishi looking straight into the night sky.
"I know you know already I got to know about your affair with my sister. She's adopted!"
"I know already Mr. Das for your information. And I also noticed you are not fond of her according to my knowledge. Right?"
"Hmm, I won't lie to you but thinking of her makes me weird. She's sodifferent since I know her from childhood. She never demanded anything from me. I know it's due to my behavior towards her but I swear it's not like I hate her or something it is just that when she came into our life I thought Dad had forgotten us. He ignored us for her."
"But this is wrong. Srikant uncle never discriminates among you all and you know this already."
" I know but I just want you to know that I don't hate her and I like her as my sister. I give you my word. And I am a man of my word you know me hriday. So as her elder brother I am asking for just one promise will you keep that?"
Hriday nodded.
"Promise me that you'll never leave her alone. She despised being alone."
"You also promise me that you'll keep my Miri happy and never make her cry. She's so emotional she cries even when she's innocent after our fights in childhood. "
Both brothers smiled and Rishi also joined him saying,
"In that crying competition, our anju is no less brother-in-law."
"Oh yes, she's their leader! How can I forget this even after being with her for almost five and a half years? Damn, man!"
"Yes, keep our convo secret. I know you never hide anything from her but I request you and I am trusting you on this."
"Sure! I can do that."
Both fisted their fists with each other and hugged each other unaware of the fact that their future wives heard them when they were coming to call them inside for the discussion. Later on talked about some business and then decided to go inside.
Rajvansh's ancestral priest informed them about the date after 51 days most auspicious one for hriday and Anjana. And 50 days for Rishi and meera, which means they'll get married just a day before Hriday and Anjana's marriage.
