Ye Ishq Hai

ch-22

      After that day, everyone got busy with their respective work. All elders in marriage preparations, Avantika in her entrance exam preparations and Aditya was as usual in his work. He used to come home late and talk very less with his parents too. His parents didn't mind because they were busy in wedding preparations and shifting in new house as they had made plan that they will welcome Avantika in the new house.
Aditya and Avantika didn't try to contact each other after that day as there was no reason to do so. Everything was over, according to them.

     Wedding anniversary day:-

        Last few days passed in blur as everyone was busy. Finally, today was the most important day for two different reasons. One side it was 25th wedding anniversary of Avantika's parents, on the other side,Avantika and Aditya's wedding was going to be announced today in front of whole media. Arundhati was busy in looking after all the arrangements since morning. It was very important day and she didn't want any kind of troubles.

  Dev came down to go to office,he looked at his wife who was busy on phone. He went to her and stood in front of her. She looked at him and put the phone down.

    " Dev, do you need something?" She asked.
" Yes, your lifelong love and support." He said and hugged her.

    " Happy anniversary and thank you for always being with me. I can't even imagine my life without you" Dev said to her.
She became emotional after hearing that.

   " Same to you too Dev." Arundhati said and hugged him back.

    At the same time Avantika came down.

     " I am sorry to disturb but happy anniversary to both of you." She went to them and handed over small gift boxes to both of them.

       Both her parents were happily surprised to see that because this was the first time she was giving any gift to them. They opened it with so much excitement and got even more surprised. She had herself made customised brooch for her father and a beautiful pendant for her mother. They got emotional and overwhelmed seeing their gifts and hugged her.

    " Thank you so much beta, this is very beautiful and special. I will always keep it with me as this is my first gift from you." Dev said while hugging her.

    Avantika felt so happy after listening that. After that her mother too hugged her.

    " Thank you so much sweetheart. I thought you were just doing timepass with that business thing and all. I had no idea that you are this much good in this? I hope you do very well in your business and I will be your first customer when you will launch your collection." Her mother said to her.

   Avantika felt so emotional after hearing that.

   " Sure mom. I will gift you my first collection when I will start it." She said to her.

       Arundhati smiled at her.

    " Well, you made us very happy, so we also have a special surprise for you." Her mother said and smiled at her.

    " What surprise?" She asked.

   "For that,you need to wait for few more hours then only you will know about it. Trust me you will be shocked but in a good way and will thank us, I am so sure about it." Arundhati said to her happily.

   Avantika was little puzzled, but she didn't ask anything more.

    " Ok, I have to go now. I will come early before party." Dev said and went from there.

    Avantika was also going back to her room but her mother stopped her.

   " Avantika, I have booked spa for us. It will be our first outing, so be ready. We will leave in an hour and will do our lunch there too. " Her mother said to her.
