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 will convey our invite to them."
"Are you giving it to me or I call rudra to invite them then you know the invitation will look like a threat ."
"Yes, he will start like this,mr khurrana it will be better if you reach the temple on the given date and time or the consequences were not good "
Both mother-son laugh at this.
Rudra is only polite with his family members otherwise he is known as a heartless man.Garima invited Dr Ashish khurrana with his family and then message about the date and place.
At Khurana residence
The same evening when Ashish came back from the hospital he informed his family about the invitation
Adhya already knew it as abeer told her in the morning.
Drishti was still not convinced about this relationship, but she also wants to meet the GREAT RUDRA SINGH SHEKHAWAT. so she agreed.
Devrat liked the shekawat family, he asked his friend who lives near Shimla about the Shekhawat family and his friend only has praises to tell about them.
Especially how they respect their culture and traditions and follow them strictly.They are the richest family in Shimla they have succeeded in every business field in which they are involved. And all the credits go to only one man that is Rudra Singh Shekhawat. He decided to stay a bachelor all his life for the sake of his business and family love.Devrat already developed a huge respect for that person without even meeting him personally.
Adhya was happy excited and nervous at the same time. Happy because rudra had agreed to meet her family, excited because he is going to visit India after a long time and nervous as she doesn't know how will abeer's family react to her.
Devrat asked adhya to shop for some Indian clothes, drishti raised her one eyebrow at this .but she knows that saying something against devrat will be not in her favour at least now .so she kept mum.
Adhya messaged abeer to join her in shopping for Indian clothes, abeer agreed.
When adhya reached the mall she was surprised to see abeer and garima is waiting for her at the mall.That time adhya was wearing formal clothes, she got conscious about her clothing and scared too what if garima doesn't like it. But she left these negative thoughts in the back of her mind and touched her feet.
Garima stopped her in between and hugged her warmly ., garima was wearing a suit. and adhya tried to explain.
"Sorry auntyji I directly came from my workplace so .."
'You dont have to be sorry beta, I do not have any problem with your clothing style, and please dont touch my feet every time we met as it's okay at festivals but I will like it if you hug me. I am just like your mother ."
Adhya got relieved listening to this, .abir gave an "I told you " look to adhya she smiled at him. Then the shopping spree started and garima chose such a nice collection of suits and Kurtis for adhya.
Adhya was impressed by Garima's choice of colour and clothes. After spending some time she becomes comfortable with her.
Abeer was smiling looking at his mother and his fiance as the little bit of hesitation faded away, now these two are behaving like long lost daughters and mothers. He becomes proud of his choice adhya who is giving respect to her mother, by asking her opinion about every dress she bought. When the shopping finally ended adhya and garima both gave her cards for billing.
"Please aunty Ji let me pay for this "
"No beta now you are going to be our daughter in law or precisely daughter so I will pay this bill ."
" Auntyji, I am not married to your son yet so please let me pay this time"
" Adhya looked at abeer for help "
"Yes maa let her pay, we should save our money now because after marriage she is not going to touch her wallet anymore you know "
" Okay as you both insist but adhya after getting married promise me you will make this man suffer, you must take him shopping every week got it."
Garima started teasing abeer.Adhya laughed at this, she was feeling relieved that she is really lucky to have garima as her mother in law. The trio decided to have some snacks in the food joint in the mall.
Abeer went to place their order leaving the ladies behind, after some minutes he came back as he left the wallet on the table only.
"God knows when this boy will become responsible as rudra, I hope you will bring some sense of responsibility in him after marriage "
Adhya just smiled shyly at this.
" Adhya beta abeer is very precious to me, after his father's death I dont want to live anymore, but gauri didi and rudra handled my shattered soul.
They reminded me that after how many treatments and pain I had gone through to get abeer and if I will not handle myself then how abeer is going to live his life . ."" Then we shifted to London, I still remember the day when we left for London, you know abeer hugged rudra crying badly, he was not ready to leave him from the hug, how much we have to convince him to leave rudra ."
Rudra and gauri didi visited London more frequently than time for abeer. Abeer used to wait for Diwali, Shivratri and other occasions to visit India to meet his rudra bhai and Badi maa ", "Anyways that's the past, sorry I must have bored you with my past stories "garima started wiping the tears.
" No way aunty I know how hard it must be for you, I promise you aunty that I will try my best to keep abeer happy "
Abeer came with the tray " what are my favourite ladies talking about ?"
"Nothing, I was just suggesting ideas to adhya to make your life hell after the wedding ."
"Ooh, mom! I am your son, ok will complain to rudra bhai then we will see".
"rudra's fan," Garima stated teasingly to which abeer whined more. Adhya laughed at abeer's expression.
That night at dinner Adhya was continuously praising garima for how good she is, how supportive she is, how she takes her side more than abeer, and how much hardship she has gone through in raising abeer.
Ashish and devrat were smiling and feeling very happy that her daughter is accepting abeer's family too.
But drishti was a different case, listening to so many praises about garima she was getting more furious.
"she already become a fan of her mother in law
' why not ! garima aunty is the best mother in law in the world, "adhya stated with pride.
" But you know mom you were you are and you will be my mom, my best mom. I love you mom ."adhya hugged her mom from behind
Drishti's eyes got wet with tears as she loves her daughter very much. She decided that will give a fair chance for this marriage alliance as she only wants her daughter to be safe and happy.
Devrat smiled at the scene and prayed to the almighty, for adhya's happiness.
In Shimla
Rudra was still collecting more information about khurrana. Chachi had already messaged him their journey details.
He arranged the best cars from their cars collection to pick up the Khurrana family from the airport.
Rudra made Mahesh book the best suites of one of their hotels for their stay.
The more he got the information about khurrana, he understood very well what kind of woman drishti is. She values money more than values. So why not give her a very small glimpse of our status and power in Shimla, that's why rudra himself checked every arrangement made for the Khurrana family.
" Just hope that you are not like your mother miss Adhya Khurrana ."
Rudra murmured to himself..
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
"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
On reaching the hotel suite adhya started crying loudly. Her parents and grandfather got worried about her." What happened adu? Why are you crying beta? Did you fight abeer? should I talk to him? "Devrat got worried looking at her miserable state"Drishti what has happened to her haan You are with her all day did the Shekhawat family tell her something?"Ashish asked in an angry voice to his wife" I dont know Ashish, she was lost all the time while shopping then after dinner she went with Abeer to the poolside ... yes and then she told me that she is having a headache. So we came back and abeer himself dropped us and he was behaving normally. He was also worried about her health, he suggested visiting a doctor too, but Adhya refused"Devrat sat near adhya and started pressing his temple to help her with her headache.Aadya hugged her dadu, "what happened to my doll haa tell me beta? "" Dadu... I am... I am... so foolish dadu Bewkoof hoon mein, why I never care for the surroundings
The seven-star hotel of Shekhawat group was decorated marvellously. The relatives who were already been jealous of the Shekhawat family were more upset looking at the arrangements of engagement.From the decoration to the buffet everything is looking exquisite, and why not rudra himself has been checking the arrangements for his chote 's special dayThe relatives greeted the Shekhawat s with a smile and a burning heart inside. Everybody is just pretending that they are happy for abeer but the reality of the situation was the exact opposite of it.Some of them were frustrated as they were just waiting for a chance to pin out some mistakes in this engagement but rudra doesn't give them a single chance till now.The other Shekhawat family arrived.Rajdeep and rishab 's first cousin Rakesh Shekhawat with his son Veer Shekhawat arrived with their family Rakesh's father was the real brother of Rajdeep and rishab's father and a drug addict too. Because of his addiction, he was not able to fu
Rudra was holding Adhya by her waist, it was not a tight grip but still a firm grip. His other hand was holding adhya's hand in a light grip. Adhya took some courage to see his face, she found him looking everywhere but not at her. Slow music was making the atmosphere romantic, the dance move was slow as usual. But Adhya was feeling so nervous but, at the same time, she thought of rudra as a mannerless man who even doesn't know how to approach a lady for a dance. She just praying for the music to end soon. As already expected Vicky Jaiswal come toward them and asked politely. " May I have the pleasure to dance with this beautiful lady" he forwarded his hand towards adhya. Adhya thought him to be gentleman enough and at least it was better than dancing with Hitler, she wanted to accept his offer but before anything like that happen, the grip of rudra "s hands tighten on her hand. She looked at rudra who signalled her in no, Adhya got more scared she stilled on her pla
