Shakhi : One Shots

SHAKHI TS : Speak for yourself

She rushed to her room as soon as she got home and began crying. When Alok visited her room after dinner and inquired about her date with Parth, she broke down in tears, "He is not a good guy, I don't want to marry him please, Papa"

Alok's eyes widened with this information. "No Bebo Putar! You have got some misunderstanding. Parth is a very nice guy, I have met him myself," Alok tried to explain to Bebo as his plan was now failing.

Bebo shook her head and said, "No," "Papa," He tried to misbehave with me in the restaurant and also twisted my hand. He was also misrepresenting our family.

Alok realised that Bebo will not agree easily, now she can get ready for this marriage only by intimidation. He approached her and gave her a frightening look.

"Look, Bebo, no matter what kind of guy Parth is, you're going to marry him; if you judge more, it will not be good for you."

She kept looking at him in astonishment. She thought that her father, who used to treat her like a princess, was now threatening her and pressuring her to marry a rich, spoiled vagabond guy. His daughter's happiness has nothing to do with him.

"Papa! What are you saying?" she asked while being surprised.

"What I'm saying is true; this marriage is very important to me. If you even once suggested that I don't want to get married, no one is worse than me, you understand, and yes one more thing, if you try to tell  Whatever happens to Shaurya or Anokhi, it will not be okay."  Alok said before leaving the room.

Bebo burst into sobs. Gayatri and Kitty, who were listening to all this standing in a corner outside the room, run to her and hug her.

"Mom, he..he .. wants... to ma..rry me for..cibly, " Bebo said in middle of the hiccups.

Gayatri patted her back lovingly, "Yeah, I heard everything that he told you, but don't cry, we'll find a way and he won't even know, Hmm. Come wash your face now, see how your eyes are swollen from crying. I don't want you to get fever from crying continuously." She kissed the foreheads of both her daughters and put them to sleep.

Next day :

It was Sunday and everyone was sitting in the dining room having breakfast. The only sounds coming out of there were the clatter of cutlery.

Alok stated after a brief period of silence, "Bhaisaheb, shall we ask Rajeev's family for lunch on the following Sunday, on the same pretext, we will move further the topic of relationship and inform them our decision."

Everyone turned to look at him after hearing this. While Bebo choked, Kitty helplessly turned to look at her. Her eyes began to well up with tears, but she stubbornly held them back. Gaytri and Kanchan were watching the elder Sabharwal's with helplessness because neither of them is able to do anything. Surprisingly Yash was eating food in complete silence. He did not retaliate in response to them.

Tej nodded, and the rest of the breakfast was consumed in silence.

After finishing breakfast, Gayatri and Kanchan were working in the kitchen while Tej, Alok, and Devi were sitting in the living room.

Kitty and Bebo were in their room when Yash came up to them and asked them to come with him downstairs to the living area and they both quietly followed him.

Tej was reading the newspaper when Yash approached him. Tej put the newspaper down and questioned, "What's happened, why are you standing here?"

"Bade Papa, this marriage will not happen."

Everyone started looking at him with astonishment because no one had thought that Yash would even dare to say this in front of Tej.

"May I ask why ?"
