Mine...only mine

CHAPTER 9

Avyaansh and Diya moved towards the garden.

Diya was fleetingly fidgeting her fingers all the way from the living room to the garden.

They reached garden. Diya and Avyaansh are seated facing each other on a couch which is placed there.

Diya is so nervous and somewhere she is also scared to say anything. She is just looking at her fidgeting fingers which are resting on her lap.

On the other side, Avyaansh was mesmerize by the innocence in her face. She was looking so beautiful in this yellow anarkali suit with no makeup.

She is not saying anything so to obey his dadaji words he says in his usual voice.....

Avyaansh:- do you want to ask anything..??

She get startled by a sudden voice, she quickly shook her head in no and then yes.

She is fighting with herself to ask him about college or not. What will his reaction..?? What if punishes me....there are so many ifs and buts are roaming around her mind.... finally after so much thinking she said....

Diya:- ji......she meekly said looking down on her lap.

Avyaansh:- hmm

Diya:- vo.. vo can I continue my college after marriage....?

She became so happy that she does not falter with words in front of Hukum sa or god knows what has happened to her.

Avyaansh:- it's totally up to you, just don't do anything which lead you into troubles. You are going to become Hukum Rani sa so be careful about your responsibility hmm??
He said in cold voice...

Diya:- j-ji....
Hearing his cold voice a shiver ran down to her spine.

Avyaansh:- Do you want to ask anything else..??

Diya:- n-no...

Avyaansh got up from his place and started walking towards the living room. Diya was following him like a lost puppy.
Diya was thinking in her mind that he must have remembered the way so soon..??

In the living room, elders are talking about marriage function and each other if Avyaansh and Diya say yes for the marriage.

Praveen:- Thakur sa, she is going to become 20 year next month, also her first semester exams are coming after next week.

Devraj:- ohh that's great...

Avyaansh and Diya entered inside and took their previous seats.

Devraj:- so what did you guys decide....

Avyaansh:- I agree.....he said emotionlessly.

Devraj and everyone smiled and turn towards Diya

Devraj:- or Diya beta aap..??

Diya:- I agree too..

Diya thought a lot about this also last night she thinks about it, her dadaji used to pamper her the most, as she was the only daughter in the family. For her dadaji at least she can fulfill his this little wish. And his dadaji would never think wrong for her.

Both the family congrats each other and distribute sweets...

Devraj:- I will tell Pandit ji (priest) to get the auspicious time for the functions. And about godh bharai/roka (pre engagement function), vo bhi hum pandit ji se puch kar krenge.
