Teri ek jhalak mere liye aisi hai,
Jaise maine mere samne Jannat dekh li Ho,

This chapter dedicated to my darling buddy Saanj_31 love you dear.

Author's pov

Ruhi is sitting with Aditi and Radhika without saying anything to anyone, she is so tense about this situation, Aditi looks at her and comes close to her and says.

"Do you like anybody....."

"Is this necessary to like anyone? ..... I don't like anybody yaar.... I have already told you that you will marry me to the boy you like for me,..... but the point is this I just want to finish my studies ..... then please think about this marriage or all of the things..... I don't know why you guys are so into this marriage."

Radhika comes close to her and places her head on her lap, caresses her hair with her fingers, and says.

"My daughter is very angry with us."

"I am not angry mom ... just I don't want to marry right now with anyone I don't want to be involved in any relationship......"

"I have already told them that we are not going to marry our younger daughter before completing her studies........ And they agree with this. They want the engagement of their sons together ..... nothing else and more importantly your father chose this boy for you....."

Ruhi looks at her mother, and immediately sits beside her then looks at Aditi without saying anything, her mother continues.

"And you know very well he will never force any decision on you. It's all up to you. He just likes that boy very much... That's why he feels he is the right choice for you."

Ruhi bows down her head and says very softly in a questioning manner.

"What if I don't like that boy..."

"Then it means your father is wrong in judging people ...."

Radhika gets up from there and leaves Ruhi in her dilemma. Aditi doesn't like her mother-in-law's indirect pressure on her. She never does this and it is very unexpected for her also.

She leaves Ruhi there and goes after her mother-in-law in her room. She knocks on her room Radhika says without turning towards her.

"Aditi beta .... come inside..... you don't need to ask before coming inside."

"Mummy...."

"You want to know why I pressured Ruhi for this marriage ..... well beta .... Ruhi has only seen a Happy family .... She loves her freedom ..... wants to fly very high, sometimes We parents get very possessive for their children's future and that is what I am...."

Radhika holds Aditi's hand and makes her sit beside her on the bed and says again.

"We want a very happy loving family for our daughters ..... My daughters have some dreams. I don't want them shuttered just because of any wrong decision about them at any cost..... "

Now Aditi can understand every meaning in her hidden pressure. She is smiling at her, Radhika cups her face and says again.

"Don't worry your one sister-in-law is not going to marry very soon because we are not ready for my both daughters to leave us together. Ruhi will get married after completing her MCA and in the meantime, they can understand each other very well and if she doesn't like Raunak Ji there is no pressure on her to continue this relationship."

"Then why don't you tell her...."

"Because she will dislike Raunak Ji without knowing him...."

Aditi smiles and hugs her mother-in-law tightly and giggles Radhika pats her back with so much love and says.

"You also have time before the marriage of Ruhi, give us another sweet Ruhi or Shravya so we can play with her the whole day."

Aditi narrowed her eyes in understanding the meaning of her point, after a while her face turned into a tomato, she closed her eyes tightly in shyness and without saying any word she immediately got up from there and ran away.

AUTHOR'S POV
SINGH'S HOUSE

Adhyay and Raunak are sitting in the hall with their family at Singh's house Manohar is talking to Ranjan about something continuously because Ranjan is laughing so much. Raunak whispers softly.

"Sasur ji bade majakiya hai"
(Father-in-law is very funny)

Adhyay just nodded his head and looked here and there continuously because he is not able to adjust himself to the atmosphere there, Raunak brings his mouth close to his ear and says.

"Bhabhi ko dhund Raha hai."
(looking for sister-in-law)

Adhyay slowly turned his face towards him and gave him a very tight-lipped smile and said very softly that only he could hear him.

"Nahi ... humari bhabhi ko dhundh rahe hain."
(No ... looking for my sister in law)

Raunak quickly jumps from his place and maintains a good distance from him, then starts staring at him with his narrow eyes.

Aditya comes and sits between them, serves them coffee which he brings with his house help, and talks to both of them about some economic and business matters like every man loves to discuss.

All three of them are totally engaged in their business matters when Manohar's voice distracts them from their discussion he says.

"Raunak JI ..... Adhyay Ji, so you both live in Mumbai right now."

Raunak instantly answers before Adhyay because he knows very well he only nodded his head, and he doesn't want any bad impression to spoil everything.

"Yes Uncle right now we are living in Mumbai but maybe after one or 1 and a half months we are going to shift to Bengaluru as Adhyay gets a very prestigious project there....."

Adhyay looks at his side with his sharp eyes and places his hand on his thigh to interrupt him in the middle and says.

"Yes, the company gets a prestigious project there. I am the CEO of that company but that is not only my company ..... he is the Co-CEO of our company...... our company is the result of the hard work of both of us. I only handle the office work and meetings...... He goes to the construction site to explain properly everything to labour and everyone... what kind of material will be used in the building construction, whatever we need in our work ..... we are working together for seven years under our dad's guidance..... It is the dream of both of us that our company ranks top in the world...... he is another part of me. He is totally equal in everything. It's not only my company, (look towards Raunak) it's our company."

Raunak looks at him without a word with so much emotion in his eyes. His family also looks at him very proudly, Manohar smiles and pats his shoulder with so much pride and says in his Jolly nature.

"We heard that Adhyay Ji speaks very rarely. Some people feel that there is no tongue in his mouth .... But look, he speaks a lot better."

Everybody starts laughing at his words. Adhyay also smiles a little bit but I can compose his facial gestures in his previous condition. He sits straightening his back so Manohar asks him again.

"So what is your next plan ..."

"We are shifting to Bengaluru as Raunak informs you after completing everything in the Mumbai project .... And That project needs approx 2 years to complete... "

That's when Radhika comes there with Shravya and Ruhi. As soon as Adhyay's eyes saw Shravya in a simple pink suit, he forgot what he was saying, he looked at her with a slightly open mouth.

Manohar clears his throat because of that, Adhyay coming back from his La la world, and everybody there suppresses their laughter because of his embarrassing situation. Ram clears his throat and says to everyone.

"I think we should leave our children alone for a while so that they can talk to each other and try to understand each other........"

Ruhi and Raunak come to Ruhi's room. Raunak looks at her room very well and says while leaning on her study table across his arms across the chest.

"Very nice room, very neat and tidy...."

" Yup, sita aunty does her job very well ..."

"Sita aunty... "

"Our house helps ....."

He takes a cookie from the plate which is already placed for them in the room and says while enjoying its taste.

"Wow .... Amazing ... I love homemade cookies ... "

"Good for you anyway, Shravya di has a habit of cooking a lot of food for gourmets."

She says while sitting on her bed and takes a pillow in her lap and sits in the position she is looking at the door.

He looks at her, ignores her words, and enjoys his cookies. He says while licking his finger.

"All work is done by Sita aunty and sister-in-law, so what do you do? .... "

"Boxing ...... "

After listening to him Raunak started coughing very badly. Ruhi looks towards him but does not get up from her place and gestures to him with her eyes that there is a glass of water on the table.

Raunak takes the glass and drinks the full water of that glass at once, then he comes in front of her and sits on her bed with his hand on his chest and says.

"See, If you think I am scared of you because your role model is Mary Kom, then this is your misunderstanding."

Ruhi looks at his face for a while, then takes out a chocolate from the drawer, and places it on her bed, and says while checking her nails.

"What else do you do besides holding the waist of girls... "

Raunak looks at her and shows his full teeth and says.

"Apart from this, I also hold their hands sometimes .... By the way, tell me what else do you do besides breaking innocent people's noses ......."

Ruhi looks at him with her narrow eyes and says.

"I don't want to marry you .... "

"But I am very fond of getting married... "

She tries to throw the pillow on his face but he snatches the pillow and hugs it(pillow) like her.

"Give it back .... "

"Ooooo, my boxing queen .... take it yourself .."

She tries to snatch her pillow from him but she is not even able to move an inch to Raunak from his place and is not getting the pillow back.

She almost leaned on him when she realized that she immediately got back in her place back and said.

"Say no to this marriage. I am not at all interested in you, you are not my type."

She takes chocolate from the bed and peels the wrap, without offering him she starts eating it and says.

"I am not interested in marrying you .."

Raunak snatches the chocolate from her hand and takes a big bite from it and says.

"Do you think I am interested in you, ohh hello all Mumbai girls are flattering me, they are ready to go with me without any question. Do you understand that?"

Ruhi looks at him head to toe and snatches her chocolate back and looks at the chocolate where he bites, immediately takes out a cutter from her drawer, and cuts the little part of the chocolate from the upper area.

Raunak looks at everything with so much interest and in the meantime, Ruhi shoves that piece of chocolate in his mouth and says.

"There is something special in you that so many girls are crazy after you .... Hey don't tell me you elope from the zoo."

Raunak laughs at her very loudly and pulls her both cheeks and says.

"Cho sweet of you .... How soon did you recognize your estranged partner? ...."

Ruhi pushes him backward but she falls on top of him as he is still holding her cheeks very tightly.

At the same time, Aditi also comes inside and she laughs loudly after looking at both of them.

Because of her laughter both of them also look at her side. They are still in the same condition, Raunak immediately holds her from her waist and gets up from the bed while holding her safely.

Ruhi quickly came close to her and tried to explain to her what exactly was going on here but Aditi did not stop laughing.

Aditi stops her laughter, Raunak slowly comes in front of her and bows his head, and gives a very sweet smile to Ruhi.

Ruhi is watching him with very surprised eyes, she cannot understand anything. He says to Aditi.

"Your sister-in-law is very sweet .... She is a very sweet girl, Aditi bhabhi everyone is waiting for us, we should go there .... (Look towards Ruhi) come after finishing your chocolate, I'll wait for you."

Ruhi's eyes get wide, before she can understand anything they both leave from there. Raunak turns his face toward her and winks at her.

"What the hell just happened here just now..... I will kill you."

Here is an update, I hope you like it please let me know.

So how is our Ruhi - Raunak official meeting?

The next one is Shravya and Adhyay, let's see what will he say or not.
