Chapter D

Later in the day Aarti's dadaji arrived accompanied by his daughter who explained to Maya about his routine likes and dislikes. Maya with SP's permission had arranged a comfortable room for him on the ground floor not too far from hers. SP was happy to have the old man there because he will be able to discuss about olden days and he believed that the grand children would greatly benefit for this man's past experiences

When the kids arrived home they greeted their elders, they were still apprehensive about the elder dadaji's motives but Maya encouraged them to come and speak with him they all had tea and snacks together, while Dadaji could not take his eyes from Ansh although he was very happy to also have both Aayu and Aayan, Ansh reminded him of his dear son

Aarya arrived home and spent some time with him then they all had dinner together getting acquainted as the days passed into weeks the kids became more comfortable around their guest and enjoyed his tales of life when he was a boy growing up in the village and young man in college.

Aarti also learned some things about her mother and her side of the family, also about her two elder brothers.

One night during dinner "Suraj beta you have a wonderful family, in this day and age you all still live peacefully together with so much love, respect and support"

"Yes uncle ji my sons and bahus are exceptional there are no fighting for property here all the children consider all the brothers as their papas and their aunts as their mamas I am truly a blessed man."

"Suraj I hope you don't mind but I want to bring up something you know how it was always both your bauj's and mine dream to unite both families we tried with Vickram and Maya but sadly that was not meant to be. Sonia eldest granddaughter she is a couple of years younger to Vedant and she to has a dream of becoming a lawyer I believe she will be a good match for Vedant and both can work with Pankaj. I am not forcing down the idea down your throat just suggesting that they can meet and decide for themselves."

Maya was shocked "Bauji what are you saying you will alow your great grand daughter to work is that not against everything you believed in that women should stay and just be housewives and rear children"

"Maya even your bauji had the same belief and Suraj what about you did you also brought down the same tradition?"

"Uncle ji I believed that a woman place is at home looking after her family but after meeting Aarti bahu I slowly changed. Vidhi bahu and Yash's first wife never had a problem following my orders to be housewives but Aarti was accustomed to working with her first set of in laws she helped them manage their what started as a small supplies business now has grown into a large scale importers and exporters of different goods. Aarti was convinced that she could handle being a house wife and a business woman but as per our family's tradition women must cook clean and tend to the children also serve the elders. Convincing me that she could work from home using her laptop was very difficult, Yash in the early days was in his own world so she had no support from him. Then about three months after their marriage he had no choice but to accept her help with an important event that marked the turning point in their relationship and opened my eyes to her talent, dedication and yes my understanding that she could handle both work and the home after all there are both Vidhi and Paridhi bahu to handle the home front and our eight servants to do the house work. The real problem was with Paridhi bahu she is so headstrong and independent wanting to wear small tight modern clothes and demanding to work both in radio and TV. I saw my son Prateek as a weak hen pecked husband not as a Sindhia man he refused to or could not make her understand our traditions. It was Aarti bahu who finally made her understand our traditions and got me to compromise and allow Paridhi to work part time as a RJ. Even Vedicka now works after she completed college much to the angst of her G3 dadiji who thinks she won't get a good match because she is not the traditional wife/bahu."

"Suraj vedicka can marry my daughter Dolly eldest grandson they are the same age and are both working in their respective family's business Abhi is an accountant and Vedicka is into marketing I can see this being a win win situation for all because I fully intend in fact I have already made the arrangements for all my wealth to be transferred for Aarti, Yash and their five kids."

All present at the dining table were stunned Aarti was the first to react "Dadaji you don't have to give us anything getting to know you is enough. If you have marriage proposals for the kids Pankaj and Vidhi bhabhi will give them some consideration but my kids and I well we will feel strange to accept your wealth because your daughters and their families has been handling all of your business for all these years. We are still strangers to you"

"No Aarti you are not strangers but a part of me my flesh and blood my Vickram's daughter and grandsons. Pankaj beta please consider my request the children can meet and get to know each other and if they choose they can marry although I hope my dream will come true at least in their generation both our families will be united through marriage and business."

Latter in Aarya's room Yash back hugged Aarti "My love don't think so much if it makes dadaji happy giving you and the kids his wealth then allow him we will not interfere in the running of the business and leave it as is in the hands of your aunts and uncles."

"Yashu how can I accept this it is wrong when they did not accept my mother and my elder brothers have outright refused. My aunts and uncles will believe that I am a goal digger I don't want to have their hate and scorn fall on my children"

"Baby how about we not speak about that now and let me give you a nice massage'

"Only a massage Yashu I know how your mind works any chance to romance"

"But of course my lovely wife it has been a very long day and we both need to relax" and he bun placing kisses along her long neck and shoulders gently turning her around slowly removing her jewelry and clothing.

Then it was Aarti's turn to return the favor and enjoy the site that is her handsome sexy husband who is still a fitness freak in his forties

After a lengthy period of physical pleasure both wrapped lovingly in each other's arms Aarti once again voiced her fears about accepting her dadaji's wealth

"Aarti let us not speak about that now come on concentrate on how hot your husband is and how much he wants to pleasure you. This is not good for my ego I am here naked in bed with my wife and she wants to speak about family and business" and he give her and angry look

"Sorry my love forgive me you know sometimes I behave foolish"

"I will forgive you if you give me what I want"
