The Raichand estate in Europe was alive with anticipation. Mukul had mentioned his fiancés before, but no one had ever met them in person. Today, that would change.
A sleek convoy of luxury vehicles arrived at the estate gates, and one by one, Vanya Varma, Kiara Varma, Sakura Varma, Aarohi Rathore, Liya Rathore, and Sirisha Rathore stepped out, their poise and elegance leaving the estate staff momentarily speechless.
The Family's Reactions
Avni Raichand felt a rush of emotions—pride, amazement, and curiosity. Seeing six extraordinary young women, each radiating intelligence and strength, she whispered to herself: "Mukul truly chooses wisely… these are remarkable girls."
Anaya Raichand, now old enough to understand social and familial dynamics, clapped her hands excitedly. "They're amazing! And they came for my brother?" she said, her voice full of awe.
Aryan Raichand and Sumitra Malhotra exchanged glances, both impressed and slightly overwhelmed. They could sense that Mukul's fiancés were not only beautiful but exceptionally capable in multiple disciplines.
The rest of the cousins and extended family whispered among themselves, quietly noting the poise, confidence, and air of authority each young woman carried.
First Impressions
The six fiancés approached Mukul with grace and confidence. Mukul, ever calm yet slightly nervous, greeted each of them with warmth and subtle humility.
Vanya Varma, radiating sharp intellect and quiet strength, offered a respectful nod to Avni.
Kiara Varma smiled, observing the family's reactions with keen insight.
Sakura Varma stepped forward confidently, her presence commanding attention.
Aarohi Rathore approached Anaya, exchanging an immediate bond of sisterly recognition.
Liya Rathore and Sirisha Rathore glanced at the Raichand and Malhotra elders, sensing the weight of the family legacy and Mukul's position within it.
Avni's Thoughts
Avni studied Mukul closely, seeing how naturally the six young women integrated themselves around him. "These girls… they're not just his fiancés. They are his partners, his allies. Together, they will protect him and support the family in ways I can only begin to imagine," she thought, a mixture of pride and relief swelling in her chest.
Family Conversations
Aryan Raichand leaned toward Mukul quietly. "I see you have chosen wisely… these girls are extraordinary. Your mother and I are pleased to see this union."
Sumitra Malhotra added softly: "They complement you, Mukul. Together, you all will be unstoppable."
Anaya, eyes sparkling with curiosity, whispered: "I can't wait to get to know all of you. Brother, you've truly brought home a powerful family of your own."
A Moment of Realization
For Mukul, seeing his fiancés and his family together for the first time evoked a complex mix of pride, love, and quiet responsibility. He realized the magnitude of what lay ahead: managing relationships, training, and preparing for the greater challenges of the world—all while leading and protecting the family he had reunited.
The Raichand–Malhotra estate had never seen a gathering like this—six fiancés, one prodigious heir, and an extended family full of intelligence, ambition, and love. The stage was set for a new chapter of alliances, growth, and destiny.
