Prologue
Arnav woke up to the shrill ringing of his phone. Cursing the caller, he reached for the phone to see that it was his Di calling. He contemplated cutting the call and going back to sleep, but thought against it.
"Di do you even realize it is past midnight here. What is so urgent that you could not wait till it was morning here in London. Arnav grumbled
Anjali realized that in her haste to ask Arnav about his travel plans she completely forgot to check what time it might be in London. She felt guilty of waking up her brother this late, knowing how hard he worked every day.
"I am really sorry Chhote I didn't see the time before calling but the matters here are really getting out of hand. Dadi is freaked out seeing the amount of work that has to be done in two weeks. Even you are not here to supervise the decorations and all other stuff. Shyam has completely lost his patience with the workers. In short the house is in chaos. When are you coming Chhote? I really need you here at the moment. Anjali said in one breath.
"Breathe between your words Di. First of all you just calm down, I was going to talk to you about coming home first thing in the morning but now that you have called let me tell you that I am leaving day after tomorrow and will reach Delhi within a day. Arnav explained to calm down his frantic sister.
"Thank God both of you will be here in 2 days. I will have two more people to help me.
Arnav suddenly realized why his Di was talking about two people. He tried to think of an excuse to get out of this situation but he knew that his family wouldn't heed to his excuses this time. So he did what he thought was in his best interests
"Yes Di we will be there in 2 days. Just handle everything till I come. Arnav said
"So Akash and I are finally going to meet our mysterious Bhabhi. Make sure you brief her about the family before you guys come home. I must have woken her up too, so say sorry to her on my behalf. See you soon Chhote now go back and sleep.
"Ok Di. No you didn't wake her up as I went to the drawing room when I saw that it was your call. Bye Di see you soon.
Arnav ran a hand through his already messy hair exasperatedly. He thought that if he didn't take his wife with him now he would be in very deep trouble.
"Now how am I supposed to find myself a fictional wife within a single day? Arnav thought.
