All the dinner time Garima keep praising the food and abeer felt content at heart to see his mother happy...
After dinner they sat in the living room coming to the main point of this meeting .mrs Garima Shekhawat started speaking
" Mr khurrana as you know adhya and abeer are dating each other for the last few months and now they have decided to move on to the next step, which is to get married. See I am happy in my son's happiness and I like Adhya too but .."
"Don't hesitate Mrs Shekhawat please complete" Ashish requested her.
"See we belong to a well-known family of Shimla. . Before proceeding further I will like to discuss this with my sisterinlaw and especially with Rudra as they are the only family we have. My nephew Rudra is on a Kedarnath trip, as soon as he gets back to Shimla ., I will talk to him ."
"Shimla! but your family belong ..., so your family doesn't live in that small town ." "Drishti voiced out her doubts.
" No drishtiji our great grandparents settled their business in Shimla only, Kasauli is a small town, as we have some relatives there too .sometimes we visit Kasauli for festivals and marriages," Garima answered politely
"Mrs Shekhawat I hope you didn't have any problem with our different castes, I know you belong to Rajputs and we are Punjabi. See don't misunderstand me but I know Indians believe in this .so I was just..."
Garima smiled thinking about a father's dilemma about her daughter's wedding.
"No not at all, if my family have any issues with this then trust me I must be not sitting in your house right now. I already informed them about abeer's wish to marry a Punjabi girl to didi and she didn't have any issues .. see my family is already blessed with money, powerful status and above all well-cultured sons like Rudra and Abeer. We just want a girl who will bring happiness to our house and trust us that our daughter in law will be the most pampered one in the house. As our wish of having a daughter in the house will be fulfilled this way ."
Ashish's eyes brimmed with tears as he was impressed with the way Garima was telling him or better say giving answers to his unasked questions or doubts.
Garima observing Ashish's face understood that she is successful in clearing a father's doubt about her daughter's future life.
Drishti was getting irritated with sugar-coated words of Garima, as she was not liking the way they are depending on decisions in their family.
She was again going to burst out in anger at Garima,Devrat interfere before Drishti start her sweet talk," let me talk beta,Garima Ji, of course, you should ask their opinion too ." he wanted to control the damage that drishti's words were doing.Garima smiled at the old man's understanding
."So I think we should take your leave as soon as Rudra tell me his decision will forward it to you ."
Stating this they left from there, thanking them for their hospitality.
As soon as they left, Drishti started shouting in anger,' In which era did these people are living ha.! His son loves adhya but she seeks permission from his nephew to say yes to this alliance. I mean nephew who is younger than her in age ... "
"It's ok Drishti calm down, I met that man in India and trust me he is a very dignified person, his presence is formidable. You know he speaks less but his business sense and behaviour are much more than any experienced man.
I think he will have no problem with this alliance, I mean if he loves his younger brother then he will accept abeer's love for adhya too. Just wait, dear wife"Devrat was silently listening to this argument but he was nervous about Rudra's acceptance. As garima mentioned about the Kedarnath trip devrat understood that this man must be a traditional man than will he accept adhya who is born and brought up in London, and as usual, she doesn't know much about Indian culture.
Adhya was nervous as well as she never thought that garima Shekhawat will propose something like this, I mean it's ok that she should take her family's opinion about her and abeer's alliance. But only Rudra is going to decide about her and abeer's marriage that she doesn't positive about. Abeer whenever talked about his bhai he praised his brothers like some god ., his role model, his inspiration and the list goès on.
Four different minds are thinking about this situation.
At abeer's place
Garima went to her room after bidding goodnight to abeer. Abeer was relaxed as he already knows that his bhai will never say no to adhya and he already knows that this situation is coming up.
After reaching her room, Garima called her sister-in-law gauri Shekhawat, as she doesn't want to talk in front of abeer
"Pranam didi"
" khush raho, hmm so how was the meeting with the girl's family,"gauri asked in curiosity
" It was nice didi,adhya khurrana is a pretty girl and cultured too. Her family is also good people, you know they arranged the meeting at their place only and served us Indian cuisine for dinner and the food was amazing...
'I think you are missing Indian food very much, Garima .lf you forget we have an army of cooks, who cook amazing meals daily in our house too. Right now discuss the people, their nature, and their behaviour. I want every detail ."
"Sorry didi cited, see mr devrat khurrana her grandfather is a very nice person, and so is dr Ashish khurrana her father they welcomed us very warmly. But drishti khurrana adhya's mother is not looking happy with us ."
"And what do you mean exactly by that " gauri asked sternly.
" Di, she was not looking happy about this alliance, she was curious to know about Rudra handling the Shekhawat empire alone, I mean single-handedly.
But the girl adhya is such a sweetheart didi I am very proud of abeer's choice. She was wearing Indian wear di, and you know she touched my feet for blessings. I think she respects our culture too ."" So you mean to say she is not like her mother right, and don't worry about how much she respects our culture we will find out in the future. Right. , let's wait for Rudra's return then let's see what he will decide about this. Send me a photo of that girl asap ."
" Ji, when is Rudra coming back "
"That he never told to anyone as always he will go on his will and come back from his will only. I don't know what to do about this boy. "
" But I am happy that at least abeer is thinking about marriage, unlike his brother who never wants to get married "gauri sighed while talking about Rudra.
" But didi you should convince Rudra you know you are so good in...in .."
" Manipulating.. don't hesitate to say it garima I always take it as a compliment. I agree that I can change the opinion of others cleverly but this boy has his traits from his father, rishab, so my cleverness never works on him "
"I hope after seeing abeer settled and happy maybe Rudra should also think about his marriage"gauri said in a hopeful tone.
"Trust me didi he will and after some years when he will see their kids, then he will also think about fatherhood why don't you convince him talking about kids, try this may be it will work."
"Seriously garima you think I never have talked about this, I tried many times but rather he keeps quiet or puts that responsibility on a beer's shoulders that he will give you heir for the Shekhawat clan ."
"Only God will decide what Rudra will have in his face, and don't worry didi ., we will talk to him after abeer's marriage ."garima consoled gauri.
" Yes hope so garima, now it must be late night there so sleep. Goodnight "
"Goodnight di "
After disconnecting the call,gauri was thinking about garima.
How naive is she? , doesn't she understand that maybe all this Indian culture showoff must be an act to impress her. Rudra was right about his Chachi she trusts people easily.At that moment a message popped on her mobile, she opened it, it was a photo of adhya.In which she was wearing a lehenga, looking like a Diwali pic.
" Well she is pretty, lets's see what Mahadev had decided for you dear"
Next day at khurrana residence The next morning, at breakfast every family member was worried about Adhya's future.On the other hand, Adhya was feeling bad for putting her family in this situation. She knows how sensitive issue is this, and also afraid of rudra's rejection. If rudra rejects her then will Abeer go against his brother's wish or will follow his brother's order. Adhya was going mad thinking about the consequences she cursed herself in her mind " Yehi ladka mila tha Mujhe Pyaar karne ke liye " ( I got only this boy to fall in love )But she want some answers from Abeer so she messaged Abeer to meet her in the evening ., in the same restaurant where they usually use to meet.Abeer knows already what will adhya go to say but he was already well prepared with the answers.In the evening while returning from the officè both of them entered the restaurant in time, after placing the orders for snacks and coffee. Adhya started her talk" look abeer you know I love you and wan
The weather was cold , chilling winds were flowing in the valleys of Kedarnath. The hotel was not so lavish, matching his standards but he was satisfied with the view of the temple which he can see through his hotel window.Rudra was just feeling the peace that he always found when he was near Mahadev. The outer world knows him as a successful businessman, a man of few words, a man who took all the responsibility for his family at a very young age,.and never disappoint anyone.Rudra's povPeace,... that is the only thing I am feeling right now, peace of mind, peace of soul. If it was possible I must have shifted to a place like this for the rest of my life. I know it is not possible for now but later .. after some years maybe when abeer will take responsibility of our business and our family successfully.Fifteen years back if somebody has told me that I will become a responsible, rude, saint type man in future, I must have laughed at their assumption.But everything changed for me fi
The next morning rudra reached the office and entered his cabin Mahesh was silently following him.The posture of rudra was enough that he is not in a good mood.Connect the call to the pi who I appointed for abeer in London.Mahesh connected the call and passed it to rudra.' Hello Mahesh sir, you are calling so late, is everything fine sirr .'"Rudra Singh Shekhawat speaking .""Hello .... hello sir, tell me, sir""Are you doing your job perfectly?"'Yes sir .. ask Mahesh sir I am giving the daily report of abeer sir "'Then please enlighten me who is this adhya khurrrana .and do you know she is abeer's love interest "" Sir ... she is a friend to abeer sir they usually meet and it is common here I mean gurl and boys hang out together so I didnt .... love I dont know "'You are dismissed from your job moron" rudra disconnected the phone call" Mahesh see to it that this moron should not get any job, am I clear "Mahesh nodded yes, he understood that rudra is in anger and it is relat
The next morning a message pinged on abeer's mobile he jumped from the bed after reading it, it was rudra's message to invite the khurrana family to shiv Ratri puja in Kasauli.Abir hurridly got ready and rushed to the dining table where garima is already waiting for him.He hugged her mother in excitement.'Thank you, thank you, thank you so much mom I love you I love you all ""You are a welcome child but only rudra deserves this thank you as he is the one who got agree to this alliance, to say the truth I was doubtful about rudra's decision as adhya is born and brought up in London and she doesn't know much about Indian culture, while rudra always thought that a traditional and cultured girl will suit more for our family.But see how much he loves you and give preference to your happiness more than his beliefs ""yes mom bhai has done so much for our family ""ok now give me mr Khurana's mobile no. I will call him to invite them ""But why you... I mean I can message adhya na, he
Abeer left for India with his mother before a week to Shivratri, as he has to clear many things about adhya to his family.When they reached Shimla,gauri was the only one who was present to welcome them in the Shekhawat mansion as rudra was in Singapore on a business trip, and will be back before a day or two to Shivratri.Abeer got disappointed with rudra's absence as he want to have a heart to heart talk with his brother. But now he has to wait for rudra's return.On the other hand in London adhya 's family started their preparations for the journey. Ashish and devrat already discussed that if everything went well they will at least do an engagement to make this relationship official.The day arrived when rudra came back from his trip late at night. The next day, rudra touched his chachi's feet for blessing and hugged Abeer who bent to touch his bhai's feet. After exchanging greetings they all got settled for breakfast.S group is going to start their first project in Singapore and
The next morning adhya got ready in a long Anarkali suit with a dupatta Drishti wore a beautiful saree with a sleeveless blouse, wrapped in a pashmina shawl as it is still cold weather in Shimla. Ashish and devrat wear simple kurta pyjamas. Drishti wore a diamond mangalsutra ., she then insists that adhya wear a chain with a diamond pendant. Adhya was not much fond of jewellery, but for her mother's happiness, she didn't refuse. Abeer reached the hotel on time ., garima also accompanied him. After exchanging greetings .adhya touched Garima's feet after giving blessings to adhya garima hugged her. They all started their journey.Garima suggested adhya and abeer come in SUV in the second car garima.And in the third one devrat Ashish and drishtiBefore going to her car garima nodded at abeer who blinked his eyes .only devrat noticed this, But he was sure that abeer wants to talk to adhya about something important, so garima is giving them privacy. The journey got starte
Shekhawat mansion ., Shimla.When they arrived at the shekhawat mansion, the Khurrana family were awestruck by the view of the shekhawat mansionWhen they entered inside they all got surprised by the interiors of the mansion which is having a touch of royalty in it.Every piece of furniture showpiece, chandelier even the carpet and curtain were looking very exquisite. But what impresses them more is the hospitality and down to earth attitude of the family members. Ashish was feeling ease in his heart as the Shekhawat family welcomed Adhya as she is already their family member.Both the families were sitting at the dining table for lunch. The servants enter with trays of different dishes. On the left side, the whole Khurana family was settled and on the right side the shekhawats.On the Khurana's side all the lunch was served but on the Shekhawat's side was all fast recipes, like sabudana vada,sabudana khichdi, sighade ka halwa and more.Devrat Khurrana were surprised to notice this .l
The next day the khurrana family visited the Shekhawat mansion in the morning to talk about their acceptance of this marriage and the engagement ceremony.Shekhawat family welcomed them smilingly, after exchanging greetings. They were all set in the living room adhya didnt come as it was the discussion between elders." Mrs Shekhawat I want to request something, actually we wanted to have an engagement ceremony before we leave for London to make it official .""I think that's a good idea " gauri chimed in excitement."And one more thing if you dont mind I want my granddaughter's wedding like a proper Indian wedding, I mean please come as a barati to London, I want the wedding in London ."Devrat requested hesitantly." Mr Khurrana I know you must have many dreams for your daughter's wedding, but... I hope you already know that... Abeer's wedding will be the only wedding in our house. Many relatives are waiting for this news for a long time. We always wanted a grand wedding for Abeer in
