RUDRANI (SLOW UPDATE)

chapter 19

'Dadi...' Agasthya called Annapurna softly.

Annapurna slowly opened her eyes...she is breathing slowly...and signalled Agasthya to come close to her.

Agasthya sat beside her and held her hand. Veera is standing behind Agasthya and looking at Annapurna lovingly.

'Khanna...' Annapurna called his name...

'How are you feeling now dadi..' Agasthya asked her. He bent little forward and his firm hand is holding Annapurna's wrinkled one.

'Hmm...i...i am ok khanna...waiting for you to come. Now you came...i am very happy i can easily pass away by your hands....but...but...you know i want a person like me who loves you a lot...care for you...and protect you ....from...from evil eyes...because my khanna is innocent ...'

'Dadi...all are right but we have to think about your last line...your khanna is not at all innocent ...here the innocent fellow is me...' veera said to her annoyingly to light up the situation.

Dadi smiled at him but before she speaks...

Agasthya rolled his eyes at veera...and...chuckled...' yes ...dadi...you are very much true...i am innocent but you are here naa so why should we required another person to take care of me...to look after me' Agasthya knows his dadi's intuition.  He just want to divert the topic.

'No...khanna...listen...i wantvyou to get married immediately...i don't know how long i will be alive...i have already searched a bride for you...you know...'

'Dadi...leave it now...take rest...we woll go back to Mumbai once you recovered fully' Agasthya does not want to continue it.

'No ...khanna...the bride is here only...just outside of the room...'

Both Agasthya and veera got shocked when they heared this from dadi...

They both looked at eachother...they are thinking that Annapurna is talking about shivani...

How does she know about her...

'Out...outside of this room...who...who is she dadi' Agasthya asked her surprisingly.

'Her...her name is pooja...Rajeswari's granddaughter. ' Annapurna said and she slowly places her hand on Agasthya's well shaved abd shiny cheek...

'Look khanna...i have observed her...she is such a sweet girl...well mannered and educated...she can understand you and they are also upto our status....i just want see you to get married as early as possible...' Annapurna taken a heavy breath...

'Dadi...let's talk about this once you get discharged from hospital...ok...now take rest and don't take any unnecessary pressure ' Agasthya told her while kissing her forehead.

'Dadi...what about me...i am very much interested to get married...but you are avoiding me...i wsnt you to find a bride for me.' veera told her mischievously.

'Yes...sure...beta...i will search a beautiful bride for you too...ok...i will be alright by tomorrow...'

When they are talking...the senior doctor entered inside the cabin...along with Rajeswari and pooja.

'How are you mrs.maheshwari...'doctor asked her while checking her pulse.

'Yeah...i am fine and now i will be perfectly alright...my Agasthya is back naa...' Annapurna told her cheerfully.

'Doctor...can you discharge me tomorrow...i have to do a lot of work for my grandson's wedding' she told him while looking at Agasthya and pooja.

'Sure...mrs.maheshwari...you are totally out of danger...everything is alright...i will prepare for your discharge. Mr. Maheshwari...this young lady is very quick and she got your dadi just in time.' Doctor is told while addressing pooja and left the room before giving instructions to nurse.

Agasthya didnot say anything...he just nodded his head.

'Rajeswari...see...he is my khanna...your soon to be grand son in law' Annapurna   introduced him excitedly.

'Veera...meet your bhabhi...is she beautiful...she is perfect for your dear friend.'

Veera just shocked and looking at Agasthya.

'Khanna...she is pooja...you both will go out and talk with eachother.' We will plan your engagement once we consult pandit ji.'

'Dadi... you relax...we have enough time to talk about this...now i want to talk with you personally.' Agasthya told her and looked back at Rajeswari and pooja.

After...Rajeswari and pooja left from the room...he signalled veera. Veera nodded his head and went out.

'Agasthya...what happened ... don't you like this alliance. Is she not beautiful...' Annapurna is asking him further but stopped when there is a sound at door.

She saw a petite figure coming behind veera. She narrowed her eyes and looking at her till she came to near by her.

On the otherside shivani...is observing everything inside the room...the pulse machine,  bed ...everything is new to her...finally her big eyes landed at Annapurna.

Annapurna is also examining shivani from top to bottom...

Who is this girl?? She is beautiful but looking very young...

'Dadi..' Agasthya called her when she is seriously looking at shivani.

Annapurna showed her hand to Agasthya to stop talking. She understands something but she wants to confirm that...she knows about her grandson...he is not a romantic person and not affectionate except very few people like...her,veera and his parents.  He is very rude and stoic and specially emotionless.

'Who are you?? What is your name?' Annapurna asked shivani. Her voice is strict and dominant. She is observing her keenly when she entered inside the room along with veera.

Something is weird with this girl...her looks...those are not sitting in one place...

Shivani came back to her senses when she heared different voice...

She pulled her brows together...

'Rudra...who is she?' She asked Agasthya  while pointing her finger at Annapurna.

Annapurna widend her eyes...not only her even Agasthya and veera.

Veera slapped his face mentally.  He told her before coming inside the room that not to ask any questions and just nod her head whatever happens there.

She blinked her eyes too that time. veera mistaken that she agreed for that but unfortunately she didnot pay any attention when he told her. She is seeing Rajeswari and pooja who were standing behind him.

'Bhayya...tell me who is she?' This time she asked veera who is smiling nervously while looking at Annapurna.
