Sunday at Rajvanshi Mansion

Aaradhya came downstairs wearing a blue kurti and blue jeans. Hair open. Light gloss. Small earrings.

Aaradhya’s Outfit

She looked beautiful.

She also looked like six brothers just saw the stock market crash.

Silence.

Dadu lowered his newspaper slowly.

Dad blinked twice.

Aditya froze mid-step.

Ahaan stared.

Aayansh squinted.

Avik stopped breathing.

Arhaan dropped his juice.

Then, like synchronized backup dancers—

“Change.”

All of them.

Together.

Aaradhya stared.

“Main Suryavanshi house ja rahi hoon, Maldives nahi.”

Dad cleared his throat.
“Beta… neckline…”

“NECKLINE MEIN KYA HAI?”

Dadu coughed.
“Hawa zyada aa rahi hai.”

She gasped. “DADU?!”

Advik: “Dupatta le lo.”

“Main tent nahi hoon!”

Aayansh: “Hair tie kar lo.”

“MAIN BACHCHI NAHI HOON.”

Arhaan added helpfully,
“Main jacket de deta hoon.”

Before the male population could continue—

Ahana (mother) entered.

Behind her: Anika (chachi) and Aanya (kaki).

They scanned the scene in 3 seconds.

Ahana folded her arms.

“Kya problem hai?”

All men suddenly developed interest in the ceiling.

Dad: “Kuch nahi…”

Anika smiled at Aaradhya.

“You look beautiful.”

Aanya glared at the boys.

“Tum log apni jeans dekho. Arhaan, tumhaari toh phati hui hai.”

Arhaan whispered, “Style hai.”

“Chup.”

Mom looked at Abhay.

“Tum bhi control karoge?”

Dadu slowly hid behind newspaper.

Aditya pretended he wasn’t alive.

Ahaan adjusted his watch.

Avik muttered,
“Hum kuch bolte hi nahi.”

Aanya replied instantly,
“Bilkul nahi bolna.”

Arhaan sighed dramatically.

“Men’s rights kahan hai?”

Ahana: “Bas. Sab car mein baitho.”

Aaradhya smiled sweetly.

Victory.

During the car ride

Arhaan whispered loudly,
“Woh definitely notice karega.”

Avik: “Main bhi notice kar raha hoon.”

Aayansh: “Pulse spike 100%.”

Ahaan: “Control.”

Aditya: “Embarrass mat karna.”

All five together: “No promises.”

Aaradhya closed her eyes.

“Bhagwan mujhe single child kyun nahi banaya.”

Suryavanshi Mansion

The mansion was lively.

Sunita hugged everyone.

Yashvardhan laughed loudly.

“Rajvanshi log aa gaye! Ab ghar mein shor hoga!”

He had no idea.

And then—

Yuvaan came down the staircase.

White shirt. Clean look. Calm smile.

Yuvaan's Outfit

He saw Aaradhya.

Paused.

Looked again.

Definitely noticed.

And smiled.

Soft.

Six Rajvanshi heads snapped toward him like CCTV cameras.

Arhaan whispered loudly,
“Focus gaya.”

Aaradhya elbowed him.

Avik narrowed his eyes.

Aayansh murmured,
“Observation confirms.”

Ahaan stood straighter.

Aditya sipped juice like a shareholder evaluating risk.

Yuvaan walked over politely.

“Hi.”

Before Aaradhya could speak—

Avik stepped half an inch forward.

“Hi.”

Ahaan nodded like approving a merger.

Aayansh smiled too nicely.

“Healthy lag rahe ho.”

Yuvaan blinked. “…Thanks?”

Arhaan leaned in.

“White shirt risky hai.”

Everyone stared.

“Kya? Juice gir sakta hai.”

In the lounge—

Yuvaan tried sitting beside Aaradhya.

Avik slid between them.

“Yahan AC better hai.”

Ahaan sat on her other side.

Arhaan climbed onto the armrest.

“Main upar se guard karunga.”

She hissed,
“Tum log serious ho?”

Yuvaan tried speaking.

“So project—”

Avik: “Kaunsa project?”

Aayansh: “Duration?”

Ahaan: “Frequency?”

Yuvaan calmly: “Group project hai.”

Kanika raised her hand.

“Main bhi hoon.”

Instant relaxation.

Arhaan: “Theek hai phir.”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Even Yuvaan.

Aaradhya covered her face.

At lunch—

Arhaan kept staring at Yuvaan.

Yuvaan finally asked,
“Sab theek?”

“Haan. Bas dekh raha hoon.”

“Kyu?”

“Bas.”

Avik suddenly asked,
“Gym jaate ho?”

“Haan.”

Aayansh: “Cardio?”

“Yes…”

Ahaan calmly:
“Good stamina important hota hai.”

Aaradhya CHOKED.

“CAN YOU ALL STOP?!”

Sunita dadi looked confused.

“Kya hua beta?”

Arhaan sweetly smiled.

“Health awareness.”

Dad Abhay narrowed his eyes.

“Tum log ajeeb behave kar rahe ho.”

Aditya calmly:
“Preventive measures.”

Yuvaan was biting his lip trying not to laugh.

Aaradhya leaned toward him and whispered,

“I’m so sorry.”

He whispered back,

“Worth it.”

Her heart skipped.

Unfortunately—

Arhaan appeared between them like a ghost.

“Kya worth it?”

She screamed.

The entire table turned.

Arhaan looked proud.

“Main toh bas water lene aaya tha.”

Outside near the garden—

Aaradhya finally snapped.

“ARE YOU ALL DONE?!”

All six stared at her.

Avik: “Humne kya kiya?”

“Kya nahi kiya?!”

Aayansh: “We were polite.”

“YOU ASKED HIM ABOUT CARDIO!”

Ahaan calmly: “General health question.”

Arhaan added,
“Main toh bas guard kar raha tha.”

She threw her hands up.

“Main 11th mein hoon, kisi mission pe nahi!”

Aditya finally spoke.

“We’re just being careful.”

“Careful of WHAT?!”

Avik pointed vaguely at Yuvaan who was laughing with Mihir.

“Bas.”

She glared.

“You people are embarrassing.”

Arhaan smiled proudly.

“Achievement unlocked.”

Even Avik laughed.

Aayansh patted her head.

“Chill. Hum tease kar rahe hain.”

Ahaan softened slightly.

“Relax.”

Aditya sighed.

“Next time, less obvious.”

“THERE WILL BE NO NEXT TIME.”

All six together:

“Dekhenge.”

When they were leaving—

Yuvaan leaned slightly closer and whispered softly,

“Security tight hai.”

She groaned.

“You have no idea.”

Arhaan popped up behind them again.

“Bilkul hai.”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Even the elders looked confused.

And as the cars drove away—

Arhaan announced proudly,

“Mission successful.”

Avik: “Kya successful?”

“Usne darr toh feel kiya hoga.”

Aayansh: “Nahi. Woh enjoy kar raha tha.”

Silence.

All brothers looked at each other.

Aditya muttered,

“Next Sunday interesting hoga.”

Aaradhya screamed into the car seat.

And the Rajvanshi Army prepared for absolutely nothing again.
