Nigam's looked at her with shock

Sid (shocked): Why you want to go?
Shivi: Huh!! I stayed here for your marriage dumb. It's done. So.....
Abhi: Yaa but it's not written anywhere that after sid's marriage you have to leave
Shivi: But we will come back in some days permanently
Harsh: So you stay here. Uncle, aunty are gonna come anyways
Priya: You can't go. My room's renovation is pending. I need your help in shopping
Sid: Oh wait! Anshi, you should go or else you are gonna help her like everything is free in this world
Shivi: Arth you don't need to worry. Cause I will be back in soon. You know I can't see you living peacefully

Sid roll his eyes

Sd (bit loud voice): No more discussion. Listen to me

Everyone snapped in that direction

Sd: Thank God finally you gave me chance to speak. (Fake Sighed making everyone giggle) Shivi beta, I talk with dad in morning. His work is done. So day after tomorrow they have flight for India
Harsh: What's the need to go now?

Shivi nodded

Sm: Avneet, you go and get ready. You are going to your home for path phera

Avni nodded

Sm: Sid, you too need to go there
Sid: Hmm. I just need to drop her or stay with her?
Sm: Stay with her. In an hour or two you both will be back Anyways. Avneet's dadi and dad are going for Kuldevi mandir of their village by lunch

Sid nodded. Abhi went to college, sd and harsh went to office. Vaish went to boutique. Sidneet went in room to get ready

After few minutes. They both got ready and came down. Sm gave avni a bowl of milk

Sm: Avneet sprinkle the drops of milk in whole house. Everyone's room, kitchen, garden
Avni: Okay!

Avni did as Sm told her. She came back then Sm gave her a bite of Dahi shakar (Sweet cute) then she gave to sid

Sm: Now you both can go

Sidneet took her blessing and left for Nandra mansion

In sometime they reached there. Dadi did aarti of both at entrance then they entered in. Firstly they both took blessing of Dadi and Ad

Dadi (hug avu): Meri gudiya

She kiss her forehead. Sid looked at them with smile. Then avu went to Ad and hug him. Ad hug her back, caressing her hair

Ad: My princess is looking so good today. God will keep you away from all the evil eyes (kiss her hairs, avu smiled widely)

Ad apart the hug. Ad and dadi took them inside and all sat on sofa. Avu was nervous. This is first time she is sitting with Sid in front of her dad

Ad: Avu how's your feet now? You took medicine on time and applied ointment? You need to take care of it fully and also your health
Avu (nervous): Yes dad

Everyone can sense her nervousness

Sid: Avneet, you need to pack your stuff, books. Do it

Avni nodded and went in her room

Dadi: I will help her

Dadi left. Sid and Ad was talking about random topics. After some casual and business talks

Ad: I want to request you something
Sid: Ji uncle
Ad: Beta, Avneet is responsible, mature girl but she is nervous and scared of every new thing in her life. So please just take care of her. Like her meal time, medicine and other things related to her. She never asked if she is hungry other than meal time. Somewhere I personally feel we couldn't took care of her properly. So please take care of her
Sid: I know that like yesterday she skipped her medicine and breakfast just for a stupid fast. I got to know about it. Later she wasn't even having lunch. Mom and bhabhi made her eat
Ad (shocked): No. She had breakfast and medicine yesterday
Sid: She was fasting
Ad (shocked): What kind of fast?
Sid: Umm.... I don't know
Ad (smiled): She is like a child. If someone asked her to do something that will be good and she will do it without thinking much about it
Sid: Hmm.... True and you drop unnecessary responsibility on that child which may spoil her life

Ad looked at Sid with shock

Ad: Sorry I didn't understood your point
Sid (sighed): I guess you know marriage is such a big responsibility. For the sake of marriage she walked on burning coal then yesterday that fast. If like this she is gonna obey each and everyone's words then I bet you she won't be happy. The only thing she will have is pain. Everyone in family told her she can continue her studies. She can achieve her dreams. Still she is scared. This way only fear will take place in her in mind like always not the happiness. See uncle don't mind my words. I am nothing in front your life's experience, issues and even success but still I am saying I can't help her if she will be scared like this. Everyone is ready to support her but she firstly need to share with us and be comfortable

Ad nodded. Just then servant came with snacks

Sid: I will go and call Avneet
Ad: Okay

Sid went to avni's room

Meanwhile at avni's room. She was taking her books when dadi entered

Dadi: Gudiya what are you doing?
Avni: Dadi just taking books. In a week or two there is an entrance exam
Dadi: But bacha, you are married now and you can't study
Avni: Dadi but there everyone said I can continue my studies
Dadi: In these studies how you will take care of family and pregnancy and everything
Avni (nervous): But dadi, he wants me to continue my studies and he is not ready for baby
Dadi (shocked): What? It means you both didn't anything?

Avni was looking down embarrassed. She wasn't comfortable in all these talks

Dadi: Gudiya if you don't have child now that no one will respect you in family. See your jethanis will take everything from your hands
Avni: No dadi. They are not like that. They herself told me I am like younger sister from them. So they will love and support me
Dadi: Gudiya these are sweet talks to make you fall. See bacha they have child. They are fully settled. They will easily impress your mother-in-law and father-in-law. Then they will take everything. You should leave your studies. You need to compete your jethanis. To make your special place in family like they have. To win everyone's heart

Voice (shout): What the hell is going on here?

Both quickly snapped in that direction and saw Sid was fuming in anger. Avni flinched

Sid (shout): I asked something

In no time. Ad too came there. As he heard sid's shout

Ad (worried): What happened? Everything is fine? Damad ji, you are okay?
Sid (sternly): Let me make it clear for you dadi. I don't want baby now. I have to make carrier. Avneet is so young for all this. She need to complete her studies and achieve her dreams
Dadi (shocked): But damad ji, your dad have business. Now what you want to make?
Sid: My dad have business, not me. I am just working under him. I joined them few months back. I am learning it. Till now bhai helped me to complete the deals. I need to set everything for our future
Dadi: But-
Sid (cuts her): Avneet is too young for all this then how she will manage with new family and same time with teenage pregnancy?
Dadi: Your family will help her. You brother's wife
Sid (coldly): But you only said they are trapping her. They won't support her. Won't they trap her here?

Dadi looked at Sid with wide eyes open

Sid (glaring her): You only said to compete Avneet have to compete them. So for your kind information. My both bhabhis are working women as well. They both own boutique. Now Avneet too have to have earn on her own to compete them. If you want Avneet to be happy. Then try to make her fear free rather than explaining her to be start the family fights. They are one who always support family. They will treat her like younger sister. So if you can't teach Avneet these things then don't you dare to teach her these competition things and all. This never took place in my family and lastly if because of Avneet ever in my family there will be fights and difference. I swear without thinking twice I will drop Avneet here. Avneet will continue her studies and that's my decision. So stop brain washing her. Am I clear?

His stern voice scared whole family. Dadi nodded

Sid (coldly): Avneet take your books and stuff quickly. I am waiting in car

He stomped out of there without letting anyone speak. After all this avni was really scared

Ad (hug avni): Calm down princess. Shh!! Acha my princess will continue her studies then will be physiatrist? See princess I am getting older now. So I will be your permanent customer for my joint pain

He said to make her relax and she chuckled at his words

Avni (broke down): Dad, I can continue my studies?
Ad (caressing her hair): Haan mera bacha. I want to see my princess to be happy. Do whatever your heart says. Damad ji and his family will support you. I promise I will also support my princess

Dadi was shocked. She was digesting everything. Whatever happened

Ad (kiss avni's forehead): Pack your stuff quickly. Damad ji is waiting for you. It's not good to make him wait like this

Avni broke the hug and quickly pack her stuff

Dadi (hug her): Take care mera bacha
Avni (hug her back): I will miss you both

After biding bye. Dadi gave sweets to avni and she went from there

To be continue.....

Finally.....
