Only You.....Just You.....

Chapter 20: She is Mine Forever (Part 1)

Eventually, we had reached home. My mom along with Ginni masi, Navya, Divya and all others were waiting to welcome us with a band of musicians.

As soon as we reached home, Dhol and all the instruments started being played. Flowers were being showered on us. The vibe was so beautiful and happening. We were welcomed with all the ethical values.

Finally, we were sitting in the hall. As expected, Alisha was not sitting with me, she was with Ginni masi, Navya and Divya. I was sitting with my father-in-law and my father. Dad asked, "Did you tell Manoj to come?"

"Yes, but he didn't get a long leave. So, he will be reaching here tomorrow morning." I replied.

"With his family right." dad asked.

"Obviously dad..." I said.

Everyone was busy in planning the ceremony for tomorrow. Everything was already final. The caterers were coming to collect the advance and then the decorators, then some other people, and then the other. This happened in a loop. After paying so much money to these people my dad said, "I am gonna be brook after this marriage." I grinned and then from the background mom said, "He is not going to beg alone, your father-in-law will accompany him."

"Why...?" I asked curiously.

"He was insisting your dad to let him do the expenses for the engagement, but your dad didn't agree, then he said to split the expenses, still your dad said no. Later your father-in-law said, he will be doing all the expenses for the marriage or the marriage will not happen and your dad couldn't speak anything." mom explained everything.

"Oh... so dad is paying for the arrangements of the engagement and Alisha's father will be paying for the marriage." I said.

"Yes ..." Alisha's father said, keeping his hand on my shoulder suddenly.

"You know what, you should stop calling him Alisha's father." dad said.

"But if I call him dad, there will be confusion," I replied.

"You and Alisha should decide, what you guys will be calling us. You can call your parents as Mumma-papa and we can be mom-dad." Alisha's father said, but dad revolted saying, "No this is not fair. We want a modern one. We will be mom-dad and you can keep the Mumma-papa."

"No... I said first so, I will be the dad." Alisha's father said.

"No, I am the from the boy's side. So, I will be the dad." dad said.

"I've got a solution," I said.

Both of them looked at me but said nothing. However, they announced the punishment if they were said, papa. I said, "How about dad-1 and dad-2?"

Dad said, "Why are you assassinating the character of your mother?"

The stupid discussion had opened the arms for the people to join. Dad called Alisha and asked her for a suggestion. She said, "I don't know. I have never thought about it.

Dad said, "You must take classes from the latest bride of our family, Navya. Navya, come here."

Navya joined the discussion. She was asked the same question. She answered, "No matter what you people decide. Whatever the girl says to her husband, the husband has to follow it."

Dad got up and told Alisha to sit on the sofa. Alisha sat and dad sat beside her. He started pleading her. He said, "Look, Alisha, you are my daughter-in-law, means you are like my daughter. So please be on my side and make me the dad."

"No Alisha, I am your real father, make me the dad," Father-in-law argued.

Alisha said, "Why am I like your daughter, why am I not your daughter?"
