Arhi FF - "FOR YOU FOREVER" THREAD 1 (Page 51)

Early rising was never defined in NK's dictionary. He was always woken up by the "good words" in their high pitch from Garima or Sashi on his laziness and irresponsibility. Today those words of praise seem to be vanishing in the air among the strange noises inside the house. His sleepy eyes opened to see his nervous buaji instructing their neighbors on preparing the sweets and arranging the hall.

NK: "Buaji.. Are we launching a rocket here today? You seem to be very tensed on the timing of the launch?"

NK: "Hello mom, whats all this uh? You call me irresponsible ,I agree but don't think that I will leave you and dad in lurch. Uff too much partiality for the darling of this house. I wish let the the groom take her away from the house to US today itself. Let me get some space and respect in this house."

Sashi who was entering the hall stood in front of him staring at his words. NK scared of his father's sight slowly escaped to his room.

Buaji: "Don't worry Garima.. He will become responsible as soon as Khushi gets married. Sisters and brothers fight is common in a house but once they get separated after marriage you wont believe that these two had ever fought for a trivial thing in life. Such is a bond between a sister and a brother."

Sashi was not concentrating what they were talking. He was immersed in his thoughts about his beloved daughter who was his everything. He was worried about the groom how he would be, his behavior, his lifestyle and his habits. He had questions on how Khushi would be traeated by his family and him. He couldn't imagine getting separated from his titaliya. Buaji understood his tension and consoled him that everything will be alright and something good is going to happen soon. Sashi plastered a smile on his face and enquired about Khushi. Khushi had informed Garima that she would be back from the temple soon.

Arnav had shifted to his new flat where he was staying alone. Though there was a small guilt in him for having disowning his friendship with Abhay he couldn't just digest the fact that Abhay had just cheated him. His thoughts were wavering as to how Abhay could question him about his life on how he would trust his girl while he knew why Arnav was stubborn on these matters. He didn't just think about any right or wrong. He wasn't superstitious but he had believed one thing the girl whom his family selects would surely be his life partner as they wouldn't just select a random girl for him. SO the question of her behavior and character was not to be doubted on this regard. The thoughts which were driving his mind in full speed suddenly came to a halt when he got a call from his Di to inform about the proposal.  

Arnav: "Di , I was just delaying the marriage because  I wanted to get settled properly.       I wish to reach greater heights in my career. I agreed on the condition that life after marriage should never be a block to my path to the career success. I hope I am making my points clear. I would want you to understand something else too. I would see only one girl for marriage and its up to you to search who would be the best for me. I am not interested in denying the proposals and hurting anyone for my choices. And there should not be any conditions or demands from our side. I hope you know all these."

Anjali : "Chotte I understand your feelings. I wont let you down  anytime. We will see the girl and only when we feel fully satisfied we would talk to them. We will surely tell them about you and would proceed only if they are ok to proceed. We wont let anyone down on this matter. But I strongly feel we don't need to look for any other girl as my mind intuition suggests that she must be the perfect Jodi for you."

The one person whom he adores and respects as his mother is his di. She is like a friend, philosopher, guide, mother, sister and a teacher to him. She is stronger than him in thoughts and she would always be in his support and vice versa.

Khushi with her eyes closed was confessing to her devimayya in the temple. From behind one hand stretched near her eyes to close them with the palms. Khushi just jerked with the touch.It was none other than Payal who was trying to know what was she praying to her devimayya so strongly.

Payal : "hey Khushi are you blackmailing Devimayya? Is that to get married soon and leave us behind? "

Khushi. : "Stop Payal. Don't say that again I cant leave you all like that. Some people are just coming to meet me that's all It doesn't mean that I m getting married tomorrow.First they have to like me and then discuss about it. The final step would be marriage. Its just a long procedure. The only concern is that I cant go to college today I would miss my most important class and cant face the friends tomorrow as they would rag me with stupid questions. "Khushi said hiding all the fears she had.

Payal : "You fool. Are you thinking about ur classes? SO you are concerned about the studies more? It is right in one way but since you don't know about the family if they wants the marriage soon then how would you respond?"

KHushi getting tensed bites her nails and talks to devimayya again : "Hey Devimayya. Let them come today and like me as per Buaji and Dad's wish. But if they like me and wanted this marriage to really happen make them extend this marriage for another 6 months till I finish my college somehow. That way my parents would be pleased and my dreams would be fulfilled as well. I would never bother you again which such requests. Please help in this issue."

Payal...laughing: "You are really mad Khushi. If they like you then how would they wait till 6 months and do you think your "voh" can wait for you for six months?"

Payal couldn't bear her lecture on the importance of  her studies as she was trying to infuse some marriage related stuff on her but the plates got turned by Khushi's level of speech which was more matured than what she thought. . She took Khushi to her house to get ready before the groom's family arrives.

Nani, Mama, Mami, Akash,Lav, Shyam, Anjali with Madhu- the full Raizada quorum  was present in Gupta house who were warmly welcomed inside. Nani liked the house as soon as she entered. Even though it was small compared to theirs she loved how the tradition was preserved in the house. Her first point in the check list was ticked. Anjali and Shyam were trying to talk to Sashi and Garima to break the ice who were very happy to see such a close knit family. Buaji was very much impressed with them except Lavanya who was least interested in these events and was browsing her mobile after just greeting the elders for name sake.

Nani introduced all the members to Sashi. Sashi in turn introduced Garima and buaji.

NAni : "Arnav is my daughter's son. After my daughter Ratna left us these two kids were brought by me. I was their mother as well as their grandmother. They wouldn't go against me or any elders at the house. We all love each other very much and all of them respect my decisions."

Anjali : "yes uncle. We both are very attached to nani. I should not boast about my brother but I tell you I am proud of being his sister. He has taken up the responsibility of a family at an early age and he has reached success only by god's grace and his hardwork. He is really a nice character."
