Chapter 2- Making Decisions
"Dean. I think we need Arnav."
"Okay...", Dean answered casually as he continued wiping the blood off his knife, barely concentrating on what Sam had just said. Sam raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise in his grayish blue eyes as he waited for the fireworks. And then it happened. Exactly how he'd expected it to be.
"Wait...what?" , Dean questioned his little brother as realization hit him and a sudden flash of attentiveness jolted his brain. "What did you just say?"
Sam sighed. "I said...I think...I think we need Arnav."
Dean threw the knife on the ground. His face changed color as fury took over him. A deep ache fluttered through his heart as painful and bitter memories flooded his mind. He raised his voice. "How many times do I have to tell you to not mention his name in front of me?"
Sam put a comforting hand on Dean's shoulder only to have him shove it off. "Dean. I understand what's going on in your mind right now. But, let's face it. We need him and..."
"We don't need that 'black suit- shiny shoes tycoon' to help us out with anything." Dean interrupted him. "Besides, he didn't care once to call up and ask where and how the hell Dad has been!"
"But...Dean..."
"Enough Sammy. I am not hearing anymore from you on this matter. Let that rich brat sit in his air-conditioned room and grow his trees of money!" With that said, Dean stomped away to his Impala that stood as a shiny knight in armor under the gleaming light of the silver stars embroidered on the night sky.
Sam raised both his hands in the air as a sign of defeat and then followed his brother to the car, thinking of another way to convince Dean. They had to make an important decision.

Arnav stared at his reflection in the mirror as he ran a comb through his silky ebony hair. He threw the comb on the dresser and sprayed his favorite Hugo Boss perfume all over. He straightened his suit as he gave himself a final look in the mirror. The black Armani suit clung to his body revealing his perfect figure. His broad shoulders, the perfectly chiseled chest, his flat abdomen and those perfectly shaped biceps could get any girl falling at his feet. Satisfied with the way he looked, Arnav scurried out of his room. It was a big day today. It was the day he would finally let happiness enter the doors of his saturnine life.

"Will you marry me?", Arnav asked Lavanya. She almost spat the champagne that she was in the process of drinking.
"Whaaattt...?", she asked as if in a trance.
"Ummm...I know I am not very good at this. My actions speak louder than my words. No one knows that better than you do. In fact, no one else knows me better than you do. Lavanya, I was a mess until you entered my life. You compelled me to open up, to live and breathe again. You made me realize that my life is worth living. You have been that pillar that has supported the crumbling roof of my devastated life. You gave me hope. You gave me a reason to live. You are my reason to live. You saved me."
He fished out a sparkling diamond ring with a pure gold band out of his pocket and held it in front of her. "You believed me when I told you that Maa comes to visit me from heaven. You are the only one who can effortlessly put up with my bad temper, my unpredictable mood swings and my tantrums. I want to make you mine and lock you up in my heart forever. To put it in simple words, you make me happy. Will you give me a chance to keep you happy? Lavanya, will you marry me?"
She sat rooted on her chair, her pair of jet black eyes refusing to stop the endless tears that flowed.
"Please? Marry me?"
She nervously bit her bottom lip. Her dimples studded her cheeks as her thin lips curved into a smile. The smile that always managed to take Arnav's breath away.
"Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes...in every language possible. Yes, I will marry you!"
Arnav heaved a sigh of relief as Lavanya got up and threw her arms around his neck. He lifted her off the ground and kissed her ever so softly on the lips.
"I love you.", he whispered in her ear.
"I love you too. More than anything else in the world."
"Promise to never leave me Lavanya. Never leave me like Maa and Pap..."
"Shhh... You don't have to say anything. I promise. I will always stay by your side."
Arnav buried his face in the crook of her neck. They wished they could stay like this for eternity. He had finally made the most important decision of his life.
