Harsh Ji what do you think? What should we do now?
I don't know. I know one thing I don't like that girl at all.
But I think whatever Didi and Bhaisaab said is also true.
What do you mean Manjari?
I mean to say now that Akshara is back and the Goenkas have agreed to this alliance, Abhi won't step back. You know how stubborn he is.
I know that. I never thought my own son would put me in such a situation. What can we do now? We have no other option but to say yes. You talk to them. I am not interested in talking to that Manish Goenka. I know he might be celebrating my defeat.
I will call Swarna ji tomorrow morning.
Abhi reaches home smiling and blushing. He sees Neil and Avni sitting in his room.
I am sorry Princess. Am I too late?
No papa it's ok.
Come let me serve you dinner.
I already had it papa.
When and with whom?
Sometime back with mamma.
Mamma???
Bhai actually bhabhi video called on my phone and Avni was talking to her while she had her dinner.
Mamma told me that you might be late.
Okkk then I will change and we will sleep.
Ok.
Neil leaves and Abhi goes to change. He comes back and starts caressing Avni's hair till she falls asleep. He then calls Akshara.
Hey you reached?
Yes just sometime back.
Jaan how do you do all this so smoothly?
What did I do Abhi?
Avni's dinner.
Ohh that. I knew you would be late and she doesn't have dinner without you. So I called Neil and asked Avni to have food. Abhi it's nothing. She is my daughter too.
I love you.
I love you too. Btw did aunty say something or uncle.
I didn't talk to them, will see in the morning. I was in a good mood. I didn't want to spoil it.
Okk (blushing)
Bye take care.
Bye.
Next morning Manjari calls Swarna and informs her that they are ready for this alliance.
Manjari Ji then we can keep a small Tilak ceremony in the evening with just the two families.
Ok Swarna ji.
Also Manjari Ji you could bring along Abhimanyu’s Kundali.
Why?
Actually we had invited a priest so I was thinking we could show them both the kundalis and ask for the date of marriage.
Sure Swarna Ji. I will get it.
Manjari informs everyone at the breakfast table about the Tilak in the evening except Abhi who hasn't come down yet.
I am glad Manjari that you both agreed to this alliance.
Didi, honestly I wasn't ready for it but whatever you said was right plus I am happy that finally I can see my Abhi dressed as a groom, else I had lost all the hope.
