Bridges Of Destiny : Ivana Journey

11. Kitchen Romance

Next day, Maurya Villa

Ivaan, Miransh, and Jharna returned. Then Shikha noticed them and asked in surprise, "Where are you three coming from?"

Ivaan replied, "Mom, we were at my villa last night. Just from there."

Shikha said, "Okay. Get ready, we have other ceremonies to attend today, right?" Saying this, Shikha looked at Jharna.

Jharna nodded, indicating yes, but her gaze shifted to Abhimaan. She hadn't met Abhimaan yet. Shikha followed Jharna's gaze and smiled, saying, "Let me introduce you." With that, Shikha took Jharna towards Abhimaan.

Abhimaan looked at Jharna. Jharna, too, was confused as she looked at Abhimaan. Shikha smiled and said to Abhiman, "This is Jharna, Ivaan's wife, and Jharna, this is Abhimaan, your father-in-law."

Jharna was surprised to hear this. If this man is Ivaan's father, why wasn't he present at the wedding? Why hadn't she seen him at any function till now? Even Deepa, Adhik, and Vihaan didn't talk about him.

Jharna put her questions aside for now and bowed to touch Abhimaan's feet. But just as she was about to touch his feet, Ivaan grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Jharna was surprised by his action.

Ivaan looked at Abhimaan, and Abhimaan was also staring at him. Without saying anything, Ivaan took Jharna and left from there.

With a bitter smile, Abhimaan said to Shikha, "So, you were saying something last night?"

Shikha lowered her head. Unable to answer, Abhimaan left from there. Deepa came to Shikha and said, "Bhabhi, why do you intervene between these father and son? You know neither of them will listen to you in this matter."

Shikha said, "Relationships are gradually breaking, Deepa. If this continues, these father and son will become enemies."

Adhik replied, "But the mistake is dad's, right mom? He has always prioritized his work over us. When we needed him, he wasn't there for us. So what does he want from us now?"

Shikha said, "Even if he has made some mistakes, it doesn't mean he doesn't love us. You guys won't understand him."

Ivaan brought Jharna into the room. Jharna withdrew her hand from him and angrily asked, "What's your problem? Why did you bring me here like this? He was your father. He wasn't present throughout the entire wedding. At least you could have let me touch his feet. What must he be thinking about us..."

In anger, Ivaan grabbed Jharna's face. Jharna was in a lot of pain at this moment. Ivaan's grip on her face was very strong. He, grinding his teeth in anger, said, "I, Ivaan Maurya! I don't bow down to anyone. And now you're my wife. So you won't bow down to anyone either. Got it?" Saying this, Ivaan let her go from his grip and started to leave.

Jharna was very angry with his at this point. She said angrily, "I am your wife. Not a slave. And you married me forcibly. So keep this attitude to yourself. What I will do, whom I will bow down to, I will decide, not you."

Hearing Jharna's words, Ivaan clenched his fists in anger. But he didn't reply to her. Jharna finished speaking and angrily went into the bathroom. Ivaan looked at the closed bathroom door in anger and called Amaan on his phone.

On the call, Ivaan asked, "What is the update Amaan? Did you find out anything about this girl? Where is she from? Who is in her family? Did you find out anything about Miransh's father?"

On the other end, Amaan replied, "No, boss."

Ivaan was very angry upon hearing Amaan's words. He was about to say something when Amaan added, "But boss, I found out that Jharna came from Shimla to Mumbai."
