After reaching her bedroom, adhya kept thinking about Abeer how easily he made her fall in love with him, he was the dream man she could ever ask for. Every time they met she used to discover more good things about his personality, the way he handled his business at a young age and his determination towards his work.
The way he cared for his mom, she remembered how he used to be particular about her mother "s health even sometimes he used to call her in between to ask for her medicines and meals, that was truly commendable. On the contrary, adhya is still treated like a princess in the house, it was always her parents and her grandfather who took care of her needs and she was habitual of that only.
The day Abeer proposed to her she thought that he could love her in only some meetings for her, love is a true feeling, and she was not interested in getting involved in flings, in modern words she was an old school type. So she did what she thought was right. She knew that Aber is a gem of a person so she handled the matter carefully as she doesn't want his heart to break. She wanted to know more about him and she didn't know when she lost her heart to him. He talks about his care towards her and the way he supports her or says guide her in the matter of her career was her
Adhya decided tomorrow she will talk about this proposal thing with her parents, she already told them about dating abeer. Her parents were always supportive of her; she was never forced for anything by her family. Whether it's her career option or her personal life she was sure that her parents will like Abeer, especially her dadu.
Next morning khurrana residence.
Everybody was sitting for breakfast, the table was as usual filled with different varieties, Indian breakfast for devvrat, healthy breakfast for Ashish and diet breakfast for drishti. Adhya was ok with all the food options so she had many options in hand. Adhya thought that this is the right time so She started the topic about Abeer.
' Dadu, dad and mom, I want you to meet Abeer, as you know we have been dating for six months. I think we are ready now for the next step in this relationship "
'Are you sure about it and, I mean you can take more time to know him "
Her dad asked her lovingly,.on which she smiled and blinked her eyes in assurance.
'Ok then I think we should meet him along with his family," her dad stated smiling.
"Dad, he lives with his mother in London and the rest of the family lives in India so for now we can call him along with his mother for a meeting "adhya explained.
"Ok, then I will book a table for dinner in some hotel ..."
"No! son I think we should invite them for dinner at our place only, as in the hotel it will be too formal. We Indians believe in these things more you know, and they will like it, I am sure of this ." Devrat khurrana commented in between
"Ok dad as you wish, drishti please see to the arrangements ."Ashish requested drishti.
"Ok so I will make the cook prepare some famous international cuisine" Drishti's tone is full of excitement
"No beta I will suggest you keep the Indian menu, I know that they will like it ." Senior khurrana again suggested.
"You didn't even meet them papaji then how could you say about their likes and dislikes' ' Drishti commented sarcastically as she was getting irritated by her father inlaws interference.
"Drishti do what dad is saying there is no need for argument, "Ashish told her in a stern voice
"It's ok beta, let me answer her, you know drishti it's a famous quote,
YOU CAN TAKE AN INDIAN OUT OF INDIA BUT YOU CAN NEVER TAKE INDIA OUT OF AN INDIAN
So as a proud INDIAN I know what my fellow Indians will like, and it's not your mistake as you are angrez ( foreigner) now "
It's a devrat way to give back to drishti.
Drishti was fuming in anger at her insult but she knows her husband will not tolerate a word against his father so she kept quiet and finished her breakfast and left for the dinner preparation. Ashish left for hospital bidding bye to them.
"Aadu beta, I will suggest you wear something ethnic today. How about the Kurti which I bought from India. You can match it with some pants or jeans. Or whatever you like but please no short dresses ."devrat suggested to adhya.
"But why dadu? I mean Abeer and his mother have been living in London for a long time so I think they dont mind my western clothes ."
"Just trust me beta I know they will not mind your dressing style but if you want to give a good first impression to his mother then you will just follow me ok "
" I... I captain "she saluted her dadu and kissed him on his cheeks and went to her room as it was the weekend so no office...
At Abeer's house
The next day Abeer got the message from adhya that her family invited him along with his mother for dinner at her place.
Abeer went to breakfast where he informed about the dinner plans to his mother ,Garima shekhawat .
Garima knows that Abeer is dating a girl named adhya and she belongs to an indian family . She noticed that from last one year Abeer has been looking happy and for her the most important thing is Abeer's happiness.
She lost her husband in an accident at a very young age, the aim of her life was to give a good upbringing to his son Abeer. Her whole world is around Abeer, and she knows very well that Abeer also loves her in the same way.
Garima was praying in her mind that the girl shouldn't be a gold digger and love her son unconditionally. That's all she wanted from her daughter in law.
If she refuses adhya then abeer will never go against her wishes but also never going to marry again.
The Shekhawat family is already dealing with one Rudra Singh Shekhawat and doesn't want Abeer to be the next Rudra in their family. So she has already made up her mind that she will accept his son's choice and then left matters in God's hands.
Garima took the dinner invitation news smilingly and politely asked
"So in which hotel we are going to meet them"
"No mom, they called us at their residence for dinner ."
Garima was surprised to hear that
"Ooh! That's great" garima said in a surprised tone " Abeer please order some sweets to take alot to their house "she suggested abeer
"But that's not needed maa, it's just a dinner "abeer stated
"We are going first time to their house so it's bad to go empty hand,"garima explained
"Ok mom as you say "abeer agreed
Abeer bid goodbye to her mother and left for his online meeting as it was Sunday so he has no office.
Abeer called adhya to confirm their visit
" Hi love, what are you doing baby" "Abeer tried to tease her.
" Nothing much mr Shekhawat just feeling nervous about meeting your mother " adhya replied rudely.
"I think in our situation I am the one who should be nervous"
"Really and why so? "
" See you are going to meet just my mother, but Poor me had to meet or better say impress your mummy, your papa and your grandfather. You see so that's three vs one "
Adhya laughed at this she adores this quality of abeer he can lift her mood in seconds.
"Ok you win but tell me is your mother Orthodox type, means she will have a problem with my dressing style"
" You will know when you will meet her, I just want you to meet her with an open mind, not with any presumptions, trust me as I am there with you. I love you baby "
" I love you too, now cut the call as I am getting late, bye "
" Bye sweetheart "
Just then Drishti came into his room holding some designer dresses, all of them were short dresses, some one-piece, some knee-length frocks.
Adhya gave a questioning look to her mother
"These are some options for your dress for today's dinner "
"Ooh ! mom I was thinking that.. you know I should wear something ....ethnic, I mean some Indian wear ."
" Why? I mean as much I know you don't like it much. You hardly wear it at festivals"
'I know but I want to surprise Abeer's mother "
-" Really or your dear dadu had told you to wear Indian wear ."
" Mom, he just wants to help.."
" Help! yes help, that old man doesn't let me live peacefully, first your dad and now you too, he is controlling everyone's life, such a manipulator he is. "
"Stop it, mom, you always misunderstand dadu, he is just trying to help me as abeer belongs to an Indian family, he respects his family values more. As dadu lived in India all his life he is sharing his experiences to help me in winning his family's heart "
'' Why do you have to win his family's heart? Abeer loves you, that's enough. Why do you want to impress his family don't you tell me that you are going to live in some joint family. Is Abeer forcing you to shift to India in his joint family after marriage? Because if it is so then I am telling you I will not agree to this alliance "
"Stop it mom please stop it, why do you always think negatively about everything. Moreover it my life and my decision too,... trust me if abeer in future wants us to live in India with his family then I will talk to him"
"But to your relief abeer and I going to settle in London only so relax "
Drishti was still not convinced, she always took adhya as an immature girl.
She had already made up her mind that she is not going to say yes to this proposal.
The Khurrana family was all set to meet the Shekhawat. Adhya was in her room reminding herself of the tips that dadu gave her.No. 1 Wish them in namaste (the Indian way to greet by joining your hands ), she should also touch his mother's feet for blessings.No 2 only answers when a question is asked and in a polite manner.No 3 on the dinner table let the elders start first then she should start having her meal.No 4 Answers confidently about herself whenever asked.No 5 And the most important point is no PDAs in front of elders, she should maintain a distance with abeer.Adhya for the first time in her life feels this kind of mixed emotions, she is feeling butterflies in her stomach and at the same time, she was scared of her mother's reaction. She was just praying that his mother should accept her wholeheartedly and she promised herself that she will never disappoint abeer's family. As the clock stricked 7 pm the shekhawats arrived at khurrana's residence. Garima Shek
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
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
Two years later Abeer 5 yr old Dev 2 yr old Adhya and Rudra were sitting in the drawing-room of Sameer and Soniya's house, they were here to meet Soniya who met with an accident two days back in Dehradun while tracking and now sitting on the couch with a plaster on her leg. Adhya named his second son dev, and you can guess why. So dev is the total opposite of abeer, very naughty and talkative. It doesn't bother him that people are even listening to him or not but when he has to speak, he will. All the time adhya kept noticing saanvika as the teenage girl was taking care of her mother and also managing the house by assigning instructions to house help, she found it very adorable how she is behaving like a responsible child to her parents. " I must say bhabi, the princess is such an adorable girl, see na how she is taking care of you" " " Hmm yes I agree with this, you know I am also surprised sometimes at how my little girl became a responsible young lady. To tel
Six months later.Garima was still in Australia, giri was taking good care of her and she was feeling much better but still, she used to miss her family. Gauri even visited her once in these six months, that time giri Garima and gauri planned a trip to Dubai. Garima knew that this was only to divert her mind but she didn't want to trouble them but they were not ready for her stay in London.It was a sunny afternoon when Garima was reading some novel in the living room of Giri's penthouse. Giri had a collection of books and Garima always had a keen interest in reading, she used to pass her free time by reading some good work.Suddenly she felt like something was moving on the floor.She turned her head towards the movement where she found little Abeer who was coming to her by crawling on his knees. Garima got hooked. She blinked her eyes twice to confirm that she was not hallucinating. She used to video call girls to see him almost every day but she never expected to see him crawling.
The next day when adhya joined the breakfast table, abeer was sitting in the rudra's lap again playing with his ring, rudra was holding him with his left hand and having his breakfast with his right hand. Gauri was also present there, and adhya thought that rudra must be feeling uncomfortable so she tried to take abeer from his lap but that boy started crying out loudly and clinging more to rudra. " What are you trying to do?" Rudra asked her in a stern voice " I thought you must be... I mean I will take him you have your breakfast in peace" adhya tried to make her point " It's ok I am fine, let him be with me '" Okay adhya glared at abeer who smiled at his victory, she just shrugged her shoulders and got settled for her breakfast Soon rudra left for his office, and abeer didn't leave him until he reached the main door, rudra said sweet things in his ears to which he giggled, rudra signalled his nanny to take him and that boy happily came to the nanny without throwing any tantrums
The next morning when Rudra woke up his head was throbbing in pain he somehow managed to reach the washroom after taking a shower he came out and was shocked to notice the surroundings. It was not his bedroom. The memories of the last night came back to him, he was in the bar then he met Sameer, Sameer yes. He didn't waste time and reached his bedroom he only found the kids and soniya is present there, " Where is adhya ?" " She went to the nearby temple with Garima aunty."" Hmm and where is mom.? "Before soniya can answer him, Abeer starts crying loudly as he wants to reach his father. Rudra smiled at his eager son who was throwing his hands toward him. Rudra took him in his arms and kissed his chubby cheeks. Abeer giggled, enjoying his time with his father. Soniya was in tears again remembering the pain that Rudra was going through, she didn't know why but she hated adhya for this.Rudra looked at soniya again and noticed her moist eyes, he got worried for her." A
Adhya was sobbing badly hugging her dad, Ashish was trying to console her while keeping his pain at the edge. Drishti's condition was worse than theirs as in this last year she got closer to devvrat and cursed herself for the days when she behaved rudely with him. The relatives, neighbours and some friends who reached khurrana villa to pay the last tribute to devrat were praising the man who always behaved politely with others, a man full of life, he used to do many secret donations from his pension. Even Ashish drishti also didn't know about it.Devrat's body was lying on the ground covered with white cloth, Adhya was not ready to leave his side. She was crying badly calling for him but she knew that he was not going to hear her anymore. It was so unfortunate that adhya was already going through immense pain, of betrayal and at the same time, devrat's demise made her case worse, especially her mental condition.Gauri and garima were trying hard to console her but all in vain, rudra
In the coming days, Rudra became busier with his new projects but Adhya never complained to him for not spending much time with her. Whenever Rudra used to be at home, Abeer was found in his arms; he loved to adore his baby. Abeer used to throw a killing smile at his father whenever he was around.Abeer was just two months old but he started creating voices. Whenever adhya and rudra were talking he used to cry to get their attention. Rudra used to get surprised at his actions, as such an attention seeker was he. Adhya used to laugh at Rudra's misery. It was Garima's birthday that day, at midnight the family members made her cut the cake. Garima cut the cake while keeping abeer in his arms. Gauri rudra and adhya were delighted to see her face gleaming with happiness it was like she got a motive to live and it was again abeerThe next morning Rudra has to attend a meeting in Delhi so he left for Delhi, whereas garima decided to visit the temple. Gauri was dealing with knee pain so she
The Shekhawat mansion was decorated beautifully again not to welcome any guests but to welcome the Prince of their house. Abeer Rudra Singh Shekhawat When the car entered the main gate, the driver opened the gate for adhya who stepped down, holding the little boy in her hands. Rudra reached her and took the baby in his arms. He held her one hand to support her as she was still weak. When they reached the entrance of the house, Gauri and garima were already present there with puja thali to welcome the next generation of the Shekhawat family.Gauri put roli on the baby's forehead, garima followed her, and then they performed arti of the new member of the family. Garima took the baby in her arms and drishti and gauri made adhya settle on the couch placed in the drawing-room. Garima took the baby inside the house with shivering hands. She unlocked the door of a room, switched on the lights and with slow steps reached in front of the photo of his son.""Abeer, look who is he
The Shekhawat mansion was decorated beautifully and why not it's adhya 's baby shower. The Khurrana family arrived in Shimla a day before to attend the function.Devrat was still not well but in the excitement of adhya's baby and becoming a great grandfather, he came to Shimla even after Ashish tried to stop him .but, at last, they all have to agree with devrat. When rudra come to know about the deviant's bad heath he appointed a nurse for him in Shimla, as drishti will be busy in the preparation so it will be convenient for them. Ashish And drishti were again got impressed by Rudra's thoughtfulness. Rudra already decided that only some close relatives and family friends were invited to attend the function. When devrat Ashish and drishti meet adhya they all get emotional as they look at their princess who is going to be a mother soon. Adhya was going through the same emotions as she is meeting her family after a long time, Ashish and drishti were not able to visit Shimla becau
The next morning the news headlines were flashing on all news channelsVeer Shekhawat, the would-be son-in-law of the textile minister, died in a car accident on his wedding day. The accident happened at midnight when Veer Shekhawat was returning from his cocktail party. When we interrogated his friends they told us that he was very drunk when he left the party. His friend offered to drop him off but he refused them and chose to drive. Till now police are taking it as a drunk and drive case but still,l they are investigating further.Rakesh Shekhawat was sobbing badly on the cremation ground, Rudra was standing there with a hard expression on his face, he was just observing the pain that Rakesh Shekhawat was going through. Rudra was not a sadist but at this moment he was behaving like one as the pain of Rakesh Shekhawat was giving him a piece of heart.When the last rites were starting from their home Kalyani was lost her senses while seeing the dead body of his son, gauri was present
