A/n pov:

The person was radiating a deep aura which was making atmosphere de@d silence. Gauri was shocked to see him as it was none other than Neel

Gauri: aap...(you)

Neel didn't said anything and step forward with some people behind him. Until this.. swaparna also came there along with nitya and got confused to see an unknown man in their house.

Neel turned towards Guest2 and spoke

Neel: you have no right to do character assassination...

That lady scoffed and replied

Guest2: and who are you to speak? I said what I said..this girl is jinx to chaturvedi family

Neel: and as I said who are you to to judge?

Guest2: if only you know what their relative thinks. Anyways this girl is walking trouble...and gauri will never get married...

Gauri face saddens and Neel roared

Neel: jaban ko lagam dijiye warna aapke liye acha nahi hoga...

( Watch your mouth otherwise it won't be good for you)

Gauri looked towards Neel who was looking de@d serious which made her shivered and so others

Neel: one word more about her and I'll not hesitate to ruin you... Gauri will definitely get married..." I'll marry her..."

Everyone standing there gasped including swaparna and nitya too while gauri watched him with blank face

Neel came forward and stood in front of gauri. He took out the small box and pulled out diamond ring.. he took her hand and slide down the ring in her ring finger...

Gauri didn't pulled away her hand nor she reacted..she just stared Neel with blank face..

Neel: here you all go...she is now my fiancé and I'll not tolerate if anyone dares to lay a finger on her...

All guests got goosebumps while that lady just rolled her eyes and spoke

Guest 2: you will regret it... let's go vimla

After that everyone started leaving this place and now only nitya, swaparna, Neel and gauri were stood there

Finally gauri decided to ask

Gauri: how did you get our address?

Neel slightly smiled and replied

Neel: I got to know about it from locals

Gauri: Ohh...

Neel: it's not hard to find your address..

Gauri didn't said anything and swaparna asked

Swaparna: beta who are you?

Neel: namastey aunty...I'm Neel Sehgal.. businessman and CEO of Sehgal's corporation

Nitya gasped and whispered in gauri's ears.

Nitya: damn I heard lot about him..he is top businessman of Mumbai..

Gauri looked towards Neel and swaparna continued

Swaparna: oh..but beta I didn't get it..why did you engaged with her...I mean..you are rich and belongs to top elites... shouldn't you get married to a girl who is same level as you ??

Neel chuckled and replied

Neel: aunty you got me wrong...me and my family don't believe in such things... everyone is equal for us..and about your daughter...well let's just say I fell for her kindness..

Gauri looked at him with shocked and confused expression and he continued

Neel: in fact today I came to ask gauri's hand for marriage but when I reached I heard all these things and I couldn't stopped myself from interfere..

He clapped his hands and few guards came while holding sagun thali and kept on the table

Neel: for gauri..

Gauri was still trying to process Everything while swaparna said

Swaparna: but beta we didn't agreed for this... It's too early..

Neel: aunty as I said I'll marry her and I know somewhere you are impressed by me...

Swaparna didn't said anything but he was right..she was impressed by him for being gentleman...the way he stood up for gauri and defended her was worth praising..after all what mothers want for her daughter? A good husband who can take care of her..and be with her at every moment of life...

Swaparna: come with your parents tomorrow...I'll talk with them

Neel: my father is no more so I have only my mother...

Swaparna: oh I'm sorry for your loss..bring your mother here then we'll decide whether you and gauri gonna get married or not...

Neel nodded and spoke

Neel: it's time for me to go...take care gauri..

He said while smiling and gauri said nothing. He waved his hand and walked out from the house.

His expression changed from smiley to serious. He pulled out her phone and dialed someone's number

Neel: did you able to negotiate with them...good....work is done here too..
Okay...

He cuts the call and went towards his car. He sat inside and driver drove off
