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 want to get settled with you, yesterday at dinner I like your mother too as she is a very sweet lady ., but what I am ... I mean .... see please dont take it otherwise ., but ...
'Adhya come on say it clearly whatever you want to say, I am not going to judge your love"
Adhya took a deep breath and then said
"I don't understand why your mother seeks permission from your brother, I mean your aunt is elder than your mom so it's fine to take her permission. But why your brother . .. see I mean he is not older than your mother right. Then why he is so important ."Abeer smiled at her "I know what are you feeling right now, and it's obvious too. You know adhya when my papa and bade papa met with an accident,bhai was studying abroad at that time when he got the news he returned to India. From that day his dreams his priorities, and everything got changed. The only aim of his life was to handle the Shekhawat empire and keep the family safe.
"I was just 11 years old at that time for my good upbringing he send my mother to London at my grandparent's home as he want to save me from the hardships and upcoming misery to live without my father. He is still a bachelor, he doesn't marry because he did not want to focus on anything else than our business and family, another main reason was he doesn't want a girl who will enter our home and divide the family for her comfort ."
"My late grandfather already divided the property between my father and bade papa. But after my father's death my mom was shattered badly as she was always been a housewife she doesn't know anything about business and I was just a kid. Rudra bhai takes care of both the properties and trusts me he still gives the profit of our share to my mother's account. He also expands more business in the name of my mother and me ."
"My bhai is the head of the family from his young age and he has earned that respect. Still, you think that my mother did not need his opinion ."
"Respect is earned Adhya, and my bhai truly deserves this. "
Adhya was stunned to listen so much about rudra's life, she respected that selfless human being in her mind. But still, the thought of rejection was ringing in her mind.
" Ok, I understand now that his permission matters to you and aunty, but what if he rejects me abeer, I am afraid of his rejection ."
" You don't know my bhai still you are assuming rejection, see my bhai loves me a lot and for him, my happiness means a lot. I know he will happily accept you in our family "abeer stated confidently.
"You are acting so confidently, as you know he will not reject me "
"Yes dear that's true I am sure that he will never reject you for me."
" Ok if you say so but my family is worried abeer, they also want my happiness "
'Tell them to relax, as soon as bhai will return I will personally talk to him about this and his answer will be yes I know "
"I love you abeer, I have many dreams about our wedding. I have imagined many poses for our pre-wedding and then wedding photoshoot. I hope everything will go fine "
" I love you adhya, I also have many dreams about our honeymoon. I have imagined you with me in many positions first on our wedding night and then on our honeymoon. I hope you will not be able to refuse me that time . " abeer stated same as her, in a serious way.
Adhya took two minutes to understand what he said then she hit his arm with a small punch and leaned to his shoulder smilingly with her red cheeks. Abeer kissed the crown of her head and laughed at her innocence.
Abeer liked this quality of adhya that even though she is born and brought up in London but from her heart, she is just like any other Indian girl. They both know their limitations, the relationship between them was just some huge kissing on the cheeks that's all. They both want to wait till marriage for a physical relationship.
After some chit chat, they bid bye to each other and left for their homes. At dinner time when the khurranas were settled for dinner. Dadu asked adhya
"Aadu did you talk to abeer about his brother's acceptance thing "
"Yes dadu I talked to him and he told me that his brother will accept this proposal. As his bhai always want abeer happiness first ." Adhya replied
' Is his bhai married?" again drishti started.
" No '
' I think he is elder than abeer, right "
"Yes almost 11 years "
"Still he is a bachelor"
'Yes "
"But why? I mean they are calling themselves as well cultured and rich still he couldn't find a girl for his elder son " "drishti said in a mocking tone.
" Mom he doesn't want to get married"
"Ooh ! you mean he is gay or maybe some issues right "
"Mom how does it matter to us haa, I am going to marry abeer, not his elder brother, so please relax and let me relax too ."
" what do you mean how does it matter us, what if they say that first, we will get older brother married than younger one, tell me then what will you do,haa, wait for the old man to get married "
"He is not that old maybe in his mid-thirties and handsome too, " Ashish interrupt their talk
" dad you too, please dont provoke mom " adhya whined to his dad
"I am telling you there is something wrong in their family you know like they are hiding something. See how their elder son has the authority over everything of shekhawats. I think they are hiding a .. a secret "
"Boli sherlock homes, " devrat murmured in a low tone. ( sherlock homes started)
Which was heard by Ashish and Adhya who snickered at his comment.
Drishti was looking at the trio in confusion, as she was discussing a serious matter so why are they laughing ?.
"Why are you three smiling ?"
" Nothing drishti we are just proud of you that how much you are worried about adhya's future, what a great mother you are " Ashish handled the situation at hand.
Drishti blushed at his compliment and felt proud of herself as his husband complimented her in front of the old man.
Little did she know
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.'

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.

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.

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

They were all set in the living room adhya didnt come as it was the discussion between elders."

Many relatives are waiting for this news for a long time. We always wanted a grand wedding for Abeer in
"What will I know adhya ?" rudra asked in a stern voice with a scary calmness that indicates danger.Listening to his cold voice, she was almost on the verge of fainting. The challenging tone in rudra's voice was well received by her .suddenly she noticed the ladies of the house we're leaving for shopping." Coming badimaa" screaming this she makes a run from there.Abeer laughed hard, looking at her girlfriend who was running like her back was on fire .rudra smiles at her antics. Both the brothers hi-fi each other.All the day adhya was cursing herself for doing this blunder at least she should care about the surroundings before speaking. But she was like this from childhood.After a tiring day of shopping, the ladies were exhausted. Shekhawat family insisted the ladies have dinner with them only, so adhya and drishti agreed.At the dinner table, rudra was notpresent as he was attending some dinner party with foreign delegates. This brings more relief to adhya as she was feeling emb
