The car rolled to a slow halt a little distance away from Oberoi’s manor, the massive gates standing tall in front of me like silent witnesses to everything that waited inside. I turned my gaze towards Bhai, who was already looking at me with that familiar, gentle smile that always made me feel safe, no matter how heavy my heart felt. Without saying anything, he slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small box. The suddenness of it made my eyes light up instantly, excitement bubbling inside me before I could even stop myself.
