In a hospital room an old man is laying on the bed attached with several machines. Few people surrounding him and their eyes not leaving his fragile body. The old man is clasping a girl's hand in a dead grip as if the moment he leaves her hand she will disappear in the mist. The girl in her mid twenties is looking at the most important person of her life, her Dadu with thousand of emotions across her face. Her face depicting the pain she is enduring looking at her grandfather's distressed state. They were Viren Bansal and Sharanya Bansal.
"Sharanya you know I don't like tears in your eyes" Viren lifts his shivering hand to wipe his granddaughter's tears which she held in mid air and shook her head in yes.
"Then why do you trouble me so much ?" She complains pouting like a child.
"I didn't. I think the staff here loves me so much that's why they call me every now and then" Viren says dramatically rolling his eyes.
"And they keep giving you heart attacks. This is the second time you know" Sharanya glares.
"That's because I am worried for you. I want to see my doll happy in her life. For that you have to fulfill my one wish will you ?" Something flickers in his eyes.
"Ofcourse dadu. Have I ever denied you for anything ?"
Viren looks towards his best friend Devang Singh Rajvansh who blinks his eyes in assurance. Devang held his grandson Adhyansh's hand and approaches towards Viren.
"I want you to marry Adhyansh" Viren declares making everyone stunned except his friend.
Sharanya's head snaps toward Adhyansh when her delicate palm engulfs by strong ones. Devang has joined their hands together. The moment their hands touch each other she feels a jolt of electricity and her heart rate increases.
"Are you ready ?" Sharanya looks at her grandfather and then her hand joined with her future husband.
"Yes" she whispers forcing a smile.
She didn't know what is right and wrong. She only knew it's her Dadu's wish and she could go to any extent to fulfill his wishes. He has dedicted her whole life to her and worked hard all his life to provide her with everything. He gave her love of both grandparent and parent and never made her feel less anywhere. So why should she hesitate before fulfilling his wish ?
More than that she trusts him and his choice. He would never get her married to a wrong man. He must have choosen an ideal man of her. They have been knowing Rajvansh family since long and he must know well about Adhyansh.
Sharanya came out from her riverie by her Dadu's voice.
"Promise me Adhyansh you'll give my Sharanya all the happiness she deserves, never let her smile vanish and never leave her alone" Viren says with a spark of hope in his eyes.
Adhyansh smiles slightly and puts his palm over Viren's "I promise".
"Sharanya you have to promise too. That whatever happens to me you will move on in your life and always stay happy with your husband and new family. Also make me proud by fulfilling your dreams"
