The Alternative

Meenakshi looked at her brother carefully as he sipped his glass of water. He looked tired and worned off. Work? She couldn't put her finger on it but something was strange with him. He didn't look like his usual self. Ryan used to be cheerful all the time and be ready for comebacks with Sakshi. But the scenario was so strange today. Neither did Sakshi taunt him about anything,nor did he make his own move. What was going on? 

"What is happening here?" Dhruv asked as he stepped in the room and saw Meenakshi's entire family present there including Ryan. He wasn't expecting him to come so soon and especially this day. But he didn't mind. Anyone who had true love for Meenakshi was always welcomed.
