AUTHOR'S POV

" I want to discuss something with you? I hope you don't mind…. But it is necessary to talk to you, otherwise, we can't plan anything."

Shravya feels some uneasiness in his voice, as she feels his voice very seriously. Shravya knows very well that Adhyay cannot hesitate to uphold his point of view. She smiles and says.

"Uncle-Aunty has said to ask something, I have no problem. What is the matter of hesitation in this, there will be some important work related to marriage, only then they have said that ask me…. It is necessary to work."

"Too much… "

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Are you sure…. "

Adhyay smirks and puts his hand inside his pocket, Shravya smiles looking at her phone and laughs while putting her phone to ear, which brings a smile to Adhyay's face as well. Shravya tells him immediately.

"Adhyay JI …. Why are you teasing me, Both Ruhi and Bhabhi are more than enough… Please, don't start."

"Raunak and Rithika have the habit of teasing so much, they both love to tease everyone and most importantly there are only two people in your house but here even my grandparents will not spare you."

Adhyay laughed after saying this and leaned on his study table and said very seriously.

" both of them would have been silent when you said something, but there is no one to be silent here, then forget to stop them…. They all are impossible."

"Are you scaring me… "

"Not at all… just telling you…"

They both laugh at this, now Shravya keeps silent to listen to what he wants to say.

"Raunak booked tickets for Bora Bora for both of us for about 10 days. I just want to ask, ''How many days of leave can you easily get from college?"

Shravya immediately closes her eyes and presses her lips between her teeth. She has understood the meaning of Adhyay and what he is trying to say to her. She put her hand on her heaving chest which is beating so fast now, but still, she calms down her heartbeat and says softly.

Adhyay is far away from Shravya but without seeing her he can feel her uneasiness but he knows as much as these two talk openly to each other, that is much better for them.

Adhyay knows very well that Shravya is very shy, she will probably not be able to talk to him openly about anything, yet he wants to force her to talk openly for them because he wants to know everything.

"Are you listening…. "

"Yup… "

"How many days off from college will you get easily?"

Shravya first looks at her nails and then starts rubbing her arm in which she keeps her phone and says very hesitatingly.

"Badi Ma has forced me to take leave for 1 month after arguing a lot….. and as you know nani is also here, but…. "

Adhyay understands the meaning of this very well, so without listening to her completely, he immediately tells her.

"I know that you have had a lot of leave due to many functions before, so as we come back from our holiday, then you can join college again."

Shravya smiles at his caring gesture, Before Adhyay can say anything else to Shravya, his eyes go to the door where both Rithika and Raunak are looking at him leaning in the door frame. He knows why they both are here so he immediately says to Shravya.

"I will call you later…. "

He hangs up the call and sits there because he has to know what these two are going to do now because he knows very well if he asks something them it's like Dig one’s own grave.

Raunak puts both his hands in his pants and Rithika puts her hands in her dangri and comes closer to Adhyay, standing him in the middle, both of them start rounding him, and Raunak starts while pulling his cheek to irritate him.

"Mele golu ne khana khaya."
(my golu ate food)

Rithika pulls both his cheeks and says.
"Nah…., only eat Mumma's sweet scolding."

Adhyay fixes his eyes on Rithika's finger from which she is pulling his cheeks, he immediately frees himself from her grip, but Raunak places his elbow on his shoulder and says.

"Come on golu…. You are smiling a lot while talking to my sister-in-law, where does your smile go as soon as you hear our voice?.... We are not so bad…. Sometimes show us your beautiful smile to us, Golu Ji."

Adhyay punches on his stomach, but Raunak laughs loudly, Rithika immediately snatches Adhyay's phone from his hand and runs away from there, and starts calling Shravya.

"Aaj to Golu Ji ka Param Priya Naam hum humari Param Priya bhabhi Ji ko bata kar hi rahenge.
(Today we will keep on telling the beloved name of Golu Ji to our beloved sister-in-law.)

"Don't you dare to do that… "

But Rithika runs out of the room with the phone and Adhyay runs after her, Raunak is not able to stop his laughter at all but he does not want to miss this scene at any cost so he immediately runs after those people while laughing.

"Rithika shows your woman power."

Raunak amid his laughter asks Rithika to encourage her due to which he immediately receives a punch from Adhyay. Rithika comes into the hall and hides behind Ram and shouts.

"Dadu…. Brother has to get married today, but we refuse him, see how he has gone mad…. "

Adhyay, surprised to listen to her, immediately moves forward and says.

"Rits I hit you so hard…. "

Ram comes and stands in front of Adhyay and while keeping both hands on his waist, looking into his eyes says.

"Try to touch her…. Ranjan, it is hard to wait for 5 days, see how badly he is suffering to see his future wife ...."

Rithika sticks her tongue and stands behind Ram to tease more Adhyay, Raunak also comes to Rithika and stands in front of her in such a way that he will save her from Adhyay. Adhyay looks at his phone in Ritika's hand and tells her.

"Rithika, please give me my phone back."

"No… Today I have decided that I will keep telling my sister-in-law your nickname... I don't understand what is the problem in golu, she is calling you Adhyay Ji, she will call you Golu Ji."

Hearing this from Rithika, all the people standing there start laughing and Adhyay starts staring at them because he knows very well these people are just bothering him.

But Anjana intervenes and immediately snatches Adhyay's phone from Rithika's hands and returns it to him.

"Mom yaar you spoil it…. "

Rithika grins like a kid but Anjana holds her hand and says very lovingly.

"First of all my child is not able to see his bride, and on the top, you are making fun of him, then have a little pity on this boy who is going to get married after a few days, but behaving like a Majnu nowadays."

Hearing Anjana's words, everyone starts laughing again. Adhyay starts looking at his mother, gradually everyone becomes silent and as soon as Adhyay sees everyone has become silent, he starts laughing looking at them, and everyone starts laughing with him.

"Mom, you are also making fun of me."

Anjana cupped his face, and with tear-filled eyes she says.

"Of course, You don't even know how happy I am to see this happiness of yours, Shravya is my responsibility more than you, because when I take care of Shravya then only she will be able to take care of you."

"Oh god, my mother India…. "

Adhyay hugs his mother, But Ranjan is staring at Adhyay. This is all Ram is seeing. Ram slaps him hard on the head so that he stops staring.

"What is your problem…. "

"Since this boy was born, my wife keeps crying because of him and whenever this boy is in front of my wife, she forgets me and gives all her attention to him… I am pissed off."

Hearing this, everyone wants to laugh out loud, but before anyone can do anything, Ram immediately slaps him again. Pulling Ranjan's ear and keeping him close Revathi, looking at her and says.

"Ever since this boy was born, my wife used to forget me and pay attention only to this boy who is now a father of three adults, used to cry for his wife all the time, used to get upset about him….. Today I have got a lot of trust in God, I have accepted this fact, ''Here you have to bear the fruits of all your good and bad deeds."

Hearing this, everyone starts laughing while holding their stomach. Ranjan looks at Ram with anger and then turns to look at Adhyay, As Adhyay sees his father looking at him, he immediately holds his mother in his arms and deliberately looks at his father and tells his mother.

"You love me the most, mom."

"Of course, you are my life."

Anjana quickly replies to him, Ranjan looks at his son and shouts while pulling his wife from his arms.

"Here you have to bear the fruits of all your good and bad deeds… I am waiting for your days.."

Raunak laughed loudly while holding his stomach, that's when his phone started ringing. He immediately takes his phone from his pocket and reads the name, looking at Adhyay who is busy arguing with his father. He immediately went outside to receive the phone.

"Hello bhabhi, There was some important work that you missed your brother-in-law."

Raunak knows very well that Shravya will not call him without any work, so much has known that Shravya is quite an introvert.

"I am sorry to disturb you… "

"Not at all bhabhi just tell me anything important."

"Yes…. I am sorry…. "

"Look bhabhi, if you say more sorry, I am not angry yet but I will definitely get angry and when I get angry once, it is very hard to make me happy….. Now please tell me why you are calling."

"Actually Ruhi…. She had gone to get some of her dresses which were given for the alterations but had not come yet and her phone is switched off. That girl must have forgotten to charge her phone. I am a hundred percent sure because of which phone got switched off."

"Ok …. Which market… "

"There is a shop named Leela Fashion in the Saraogi Mansion near your house, she has gone there."

"Yup I know… it is only 5 minutes away from our house, ok I will go there….I call you back."

Raunak quickly disconnects his phone and gets in his car, as fast as possible to get to the shop. He immediately enters the shop and asks the salesgirl.

"Ruhi Singh's dresses were here for alternation, so has anyone come and taken those dresses?"

Salesgirl checks her register and tells him immediately.

"Yes, about 15 minutes ago, Ruhi Singh checked all the dresses well. The alteration of one of her dresses was not done properly, due to which she had to wait here but after alteration took them away…. "

"Ok…  "

Raunak immediately goes to his car and sits thinking about something and says to himself.

"There are only two ways to go to Ruhi's house from here, I am coming from one, she will take the second one, I will check it once."

Raunak immediately calls Shravya while driving.

"Yes, Raunak bhaiya…. "

"Ruhi had a problem with a dress, due to which she wait here, don't worry, I am going the same way now that she might have gone, That's how I meet her, I scold her well for not charging the phone from your side because I can't scold from my side at all."

Shravya laughs at this but immediately says.

"What kind of problem could be in finishing which took her so much time? Well, it doesn't matter if you see her scolding her well from my side."

They both laugh together, Raunak hangs up his phone and speeds up his car and after 5 minutes he finds her with someone talking, Whose face can't be seen clearly.

He gets out of his car and starts moving toward those people. As soon as he gets closer to them he can see his face very clearly.

He looks at Ruhi, gritting his teeth and clenching his jaw tightly.
