Disha -

"The man who's standing beside the staircase is my boro mama and the one next to him is my choto mama. The woman who's sitting beside my mom is my boro mami and the one next to her is my choto mami. The couple sitting next to each other on the couch are my khalamoni and mama", I kept on introducing my family members and Raidan kept on greeting them.

I'm actually looking for my fuffas. They are nowhere to be seen. And since they ain't here, I thought of introducing the rest.

"Okay, now let's move to my cousins", and even before I could finish, one of my my fuffa came walking down the stairs and another entered through the entrance with Mason. I mean, what a timing!!!

"Okay so, this is my boro fuffa", I said pointing towards my boro fuffa who just walked down the stairs. He quickly greeted him.

"And this is my monichaccu, my another fuffa but I was taught to call him monichaccu so you'll have to call him the same", I told him as I introduced my still young by heart monichaccu.

"Hello monichaccu. Nice to meet you", Raidan greeted him as well.

"Hello son!! I've been waiting for so long to meet you. Good good , very good choice honey", my monichacchu said with a very big smile referring me as honey!!

"Next are my cousins.... Let's start with the eldest.... This is my eldest cousin brother called, Emeit and this is his wife called, Tory and this is their son, my favorite nephew.... His name is Arham", I finished. He greeted them and waved a hi at Arham.

"Next is my another cousin brother called Ray", he said hi to Ray is well.

"We've already met most of the people who are next in line, so after Mason there's Alex and then Louis, after them there's Ananya after her there's Ohi and Roja and Ayesha respectively", he hi'ed each of them in a very cute way with a smile. I was so close to being jealous.

"Okay so that would be all for now. Some other people are supposed to come tomorrow. Not sure though, let's see", as I was finishing, I noticed my friends and they were looking at me as if I had just erased them from existence. I litellary started cursing myself in the back of my head as I couldn't think of an explanation to give them.

"As for these three, they are my friends and I've already told you about them so now it's your turn to figure out who's who", when you know you will be punished for something just put the blame on others, that's what I did, I put it on Raidan to deal with. None of my business.

He looked at me cluelessly at first and then gave me one of those stares that were litellary screaming, if I was being serious. Of course I was, but yeah I would've helped him afterwards. And that's why I just looked away, pretending that I didn't see it at all.

"Hii, you guys are Mimma, Harisa and Jarin right? I've heard a lot about you guys from her but I'm sorry that I won't be able to tell who's who", he said to my friends faking an apology. He was being so humble that he'd almost fooled me as well.

"It's alright bro, it's okay if we call you 'bro' right?" Harisa asked.

"Sure it's fine. A little bit help here please?" he said looking at my way, gesturing me to help him with his eyes.

"Sure, the one wearing a pink gown is Mimma. As you can see, she's really tall. And the one who just talked with you is Harisa, she and I are of same hight as you can see and the fair one next to her is Jarin. All of them have been so excited to meet you", I expressed as I introduced them.

"Oh really? I've been really excited to meet you guys as well. Specially Harisa... She told me a lot about you", he told them.

"Me? Did she say mean things about me?" Harisa asked.

"Did you do mean things?" Raidan questioned back.

"No", she replied, narrowing her eyes. She sounded firm.

At this point everyone was giving a weird look to Raidan, because Harisa is really close with everyone, she's practically another daughter to them. They definitely didn't like what he said. I wouldn't like it either if I hadn't known Raidan. He's just trying to be funny. But it's the worst way one can choose to be funny.

"Guys he's joking. He's just trying to be funny", I said giving them a weak smile.

"Stop Raidan, it's not really helping", I wishpeared under my breath so that only he could hear it.

"Yeah I was joking. She told me all the good and embrassing things about you guys", he said with a laugh. And this laugh was so much made up that anyone could tell. But fortunately my family couldn't.

"See I knew it!! She can't possibly say anything bad", Jarin said and quickly added in our language, "because she knows that she would've been a dead meat if she did", and gave me one of her deadly stares.

"Okay!!" I started clapping my hands as the introduction ceremony was over, "Let's get ready and head for shopping now", I said to them because we won't be able to get back earlier if we go out late.

"Hold on a moment please, we've something to announce", Raidan said all on a sudden. His face looks like as if he's gonna blast a bomb. So serious and awkwardly nervous.

"Do we?" I asked and I bet confusion was

written all over my face.

"No wayyyy.....!!! Are you actually pregnant?" Joey said all on a sudden and there was this look of disgust in the eyes of my family members right after the moment these words left her mouth that I felt chills running down my spine.

"What??? No!! We're just a pure man and a pure woman who are about to get married and fyi we haven't crossed any lines that shouldn't be crossed", I said confidently infront of everyone and then the look in their eyes softens. But after clearing up the topic with so much confidence I kept on thinking that we didn't actually crossed the line, right? Anyways now that I'm not pregnant the focus shifts to Raidan including mine, who said he, I mean, we, had something to announce.

"What is it that you want to announce son?" my boro mama asked.

"It's about my family. I'm sorry last time", he started eyeing me after that almost as if telling me to help him clear it up.

"Oh!! That!! Last time I had told you that his parents are astronaut right?", I attempted to lay it out as calmly as possible.

My whole family nodded as I looked at them so I continued, "I was actually joking. They are just normal people".

"I remember you had said that your parents ain't in this world, what did that mean?" my choto chachima threw a question at him.

"That's... That's because.... He didn't actually say world, he had said word, w o r d. You guys misunderstood so I just played with it for that", I replied, lies after lies. I've never lied to my family but this time I've to lie so many times just to cover up a small lie.

"Okay so what about your family??" my boro fuffa asked.
