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 related to abeer sir
Mahesh, I want all details of this girl Adhya khurrana, from how long did abeer know her I want every detail of her.
'Sir I will get it to you by tomorrow .'
'No I want it till evening, I am already late, as I dont want to waste time. "
Mahesh nodded and left from there.
The whole day rudra was lashing out at his staff as he was still not believing that his baby brother hid this from him
In the evening Mahesh enters the cabin with a file in hand. He kept the file in front of rudra.
There were some pictures of adhya on the first page then the information.
Name. Adhya khurrana
Father's name. Dr Ashish khurrana
Father's occupation - cardiologist in mxm hospital
Mother's name- Mrs drishti khurrana
Mother's occupation - housewife.
Grandfather - devrat khurrana retired as a bank manager from union bank in Delhi, after his wife's demise he shifted with his son to London.
Adhya 's occupation - working as an architect in James Design.
Relationship status - in a relationship.
Hobbies - travelling.
. Rudra closes the file with a deep sigh, he knows that this girl doesn't suit his family as her lifestyle, her job is saying it all.
But he was worried about abeer so he decided to take his opinion on her first before he will come to any conclusion.
"Any other thing which I should know, I mean any previous relationship, boyfriends "
" No Sir she is the first time in a relationship she was a nerd in school and college. Abeer sir is her first boyfriend" "
"From how much time is this going on"
"Sir they know each other for more than 1 year but they started dating six months ."
"Are .. are they ina ... live in a relationship I mean staying together like a couple .. you know what I mean "
Rudra clenched his jaw in anger while finishing the last line."No sir, they are not in a live-in relationship the girl lives with her parents "
Rudra was relieved listening to this, "connect me to abeer. "Soon the call got connected.
"Hi bhai, how was your trip and when did you come back "Abeer asked in his usual cheerful tone.
"I am good, the trip was also nice and I came back yesterday.
" I hope I answered all your questions, now you have to answer my questions and you know abeer I don't hate liars I despise them, so I am expecting an honest answer from you. am I clear "
Abeer recognises this tone it means his bhai is damn angry about something or someone. He knows the reason also ., as he is the someone this time and his affair is something.
He ģulped the lump in his throat and replied in a small "yes ".
"Who is adhya khurrana ?"
"My girlfriend "
," Is she Indian "
"No bhai she is born and brought up in London but belongs to an Indian family".
"what are your plans with her, I mean this relationship "
"I want to marry her " Abeer replied confidently as he know,it's now or never "
" Hmm .......what if I dont approve of this wedding ?"
" Then I will not marry her as I dont want to do anything that you don't approve of. But ...'
" Complete your sentence abeer "
"But i ...will not marry anyone else also I will like to remain a bachelor all my life ."
"Okay, I will talk to you later goodbye ." Saying this rudra cut the call.
Rudra already knows that abeer will say this only but what should he do now?
He always fulfilled all his wishes of abeer but this is hard for him. Accepting a girl who doesn't know about our culture, our traditions.
But he was very upset about this situation he has only one person in mind, Sameer his childhood friend, a classmate from school to college. Rudra knows that Sameer will always suggest him some way ., so he decided to call him to his office.Sameer entered his cabin in the evening, he already guessed tension in Rudra's voice in the morning call. Sameer Sikand is his only close friend Rudra. They are classmates from kindergarten to college in America.
Sameer married his college sweetheart soniya who was junior to them in college. She is also a good friend to Rudra. Sameer and soniya are happily married for 8 yrs and are parents to a 6-year daughter saanvika . . .
" What the matter rudra "
Rudra forwarded the file.
Sameer goes through the file and raised an eyebrow to know the reason.
" She is Abeer 's girlfriend, now he wants to marry her ."
"Thank god! At least he is not following in your footsteps. So what's the problem ?"
Rudra in return glared at him."She is not Indian, she belonged to an Indian family, no knowledge of our traditions, our culture Look at her photos her pics are telling us what lifestyle she has been living. Do you think she will adjust in our house ha. . What if she will bring a rift between our family .you know na Sameer I am going to announce Abeer the CEO of Shekhawat Empire. "
" As you are 100 % sure that you will find a perfect girl for abeer ., who will follow all traditions and doesn't bring any rift in your family, do you take guarantee on that?"
Rudra knows the answer to this question as nobody can guarantee that.So he didn't answer"see rudra you are thinking all negative things. What if she will love your family just like you what if she will learn all the traditions of your family happily "
"And what about Abeer, I know he will not go against you but are you sure that he will marry the girl of your choice Haan ." Sameer completed his theory.
"He told me exactly that Sameer, that he will never go against me but he will never get married in his life ."
"See how right was "
"At least you should trust abeer he loves you, respects you ".
"I know that and of course I trust him "
"So then trust his choice also, I am sure the girl must be a gem, that's why my boy like her ."
"Hmmm"
"Dont take any decision in hurry meet them, especially the girl then give your decision but remember what abeer means to you and your family ."
"I will "
The same night at Shekhawat mansion.
After dinner in, Gauri's bedroom rudra connected a video call to his Chachi.
" Pranam didi "
" Pranam Chachi "
"Khus raho beta , so tell me how was your trip to Kedarnath . I hope you had a peaceful time there ."( Stay blessed dear )
" Yes, Chachi it was good. We are here to discuss an important matter with you and you also know that ."
"Maa told me you met the khurrana family So tell me Chachi, what ďo you think about this alliance I mean you met the girl and her family too ."
"Rudra we all know what abeer means to us, from the last year I am noticing changes in him, he is smiling a lot, his face is beaming with happiness. See rudra, I know his happiness means everything to us and if adhya is the reason for his happiness then I dont have any problem ."
"The girl adhya is a decent girl and her family is nice too, not rich as us but they belonged o the upper-middle class. His father is a well-known doctor and his grandfather is a retired manager for a bank in Delhi. The only person that I am not sure about is her mother drishti khurrana I dont think she is in favour of this alliance ."
"Dont worry Chachi I will dig out more information about them. but I am happy to know that you like abeer's choice "
"Beta when you will meet adhya you will know why I got impressed by her in the first meeting only "
" Hope so Chachi hope so "
After some casual chit chat, they disconnected the call.
Gauri asked rudra who was sitting with his famous zero expression face, nobody even her mother can tell what was going on in his mind looking at his face.
Rudra was clever, like clever by heart. He knows how to keep his emotions in control.
"So what will we do now "
" Maha Shivratri is coming after some days so I think we should invite the khurrana family to Shimla for puja and that way we can meet them, and know more about the khurrana family ., as you know maa Chachi is so naive. And let's meet the Great adhya Khurana who had successfully wrapped my brother around her finger ."
Wishing goodnight to his mom he left for his room
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
"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
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
