Love But Arranged!!!

Chapter Four

- AUTHOR'S POV -

The sun shone quite early the next morning.. As per their parents instructions, both Teju and Karan boarded their respective flight to Punjab,to go to Jalandhar..

In order to avoid pap interaction or any other thing that can fuel any kind of rumours, both had boarded flight at different time, like it was an hour difference..

Karan landed first at Punjab airport but due to his father's strict instruction to come home, that is their mansion, which is basically their ancestral home, with Teju, he had to wait for about an hour and half..

As soon as Teju came out, she spotted Karan, and hence went towards him.. And then both proceeded to their way to the home..

As soon as they reached there, they were welcomed by Mumma Kundrra with a Aarti thali in her hand and seeing that both Karan and Teju, saw into each other's eyes and got lost into the flashback,

"It was her first time coming to Jalandhar, Punjab,to his ancestral home..She was quite excited to see the home, where his childhood was spent..

As soon as they reached the entrance,they found Mumma Kundrra there standing with a Aarti thali..As they were gonna come,Karan's parents cut their US trip short and returned..

Mumma did their aarti together first but then rather than letting her enter inside first, he entered and took the plate from her hands and did her aarti,making her smile amidst tears of happiness.."

But then they were brought back from their reverie when Mumma said them to enter, while Aai nudged Teju to take blessings of all elders, she went ahead while Karan kept standing there, so Papa Kundrra came into the role and made him take blessing along with Teju, together..

After a while,Teju and Karan dispersed to their respective room while elders stayed back.. Mumma's went to see lunch preps while Papa's sat discussing about the wedding preparations and making necessary calls for it..

Lunch was a fair affair.. The rest of the day went as it is.. The sun had already set, while the sky had now turned into it's darker shade, marking it night..

Everyone was settled on the dining table, serving themselves when papa said,

"Tomorrow,Poonam with her family,Madhu ,Meenu as well as Pratik are coming.."

Both Karan and Teju bobbed their head in yes while Papa continued,

"Your engagement date has been set, it would take place,two days later that is on 14th of July, while the wedding date is finalised as 20th of July.."

Again both Karan and Teju nodded their head in a positive response, having no other option.. After dinner, everyone retired to their respective rooms..

As it was monsoon season currently,the weather which was quieter earlier turned into the Thunderstorm..

The sound of lightening with heavy rain and winds were now turning frightening.. Karan who was sitted in his room, dwelling deep into his thoughts was suddenly jerked out of it due to the strong sound produced due to closing of window..

He came out of his reverie, and closing the window, hurried towards Teju's room which was beside him, remembering that she gets anxious during such weather..

He stilled remembered, how once they were coming back home when the weather took a drastic turn and heavy rain with thunder sound of lightening started..

He was driving while teju who was sitted beside him, started shivering, he initially thought it was due to cold, as the weather had turned cold due to the rain but later when he saw her gasping for the air, he found it strange and hence, he took her in his arms while making her sit on his lap..

When she calmed down, he had asked her what happened to her and why she was gasping for the air.. And that was the time when she revealed that once when she was quite young like 8 years, at that time it had rained heavily with thunderstorm, all the lights and all had cut off for two days...

At that time, her baba was in Saudi,strangely the weather there also had took a turn and it had rained quite drastically there.. Almost two floors of building had been in the water..When the situation turned normal in Mumbai, and they tried contacting her baba, they received news of his demise..

Teju, unfortunately had listened her Aai talking mistakenly and from that time she gets anxious and even sometimes suffers the anxiety attack during such times.. But then,she said that, after a day, they again received a call that, it was some misunderstanding and her baba was safe..

With all this thought, Karan reached her room and upon going inside, found her shaking anxiously and seeing her condition, he just stormed towards her and took her into his arms, without thinking much and started comforting her muttering,

"Teju, bacha, nothing's gonna happen m here na, I wouldn't let anything happen.."

While she kept muttering,

"Karan,baba, Karan mere baba.." , while gasping for the breathe..

While he started Peppering light kisses on her forehead and rubbing her arm simultaneously, muttering sweet words but today it was as if, she wasn't getting quiet and calm any time soon and hence not able to think of anything, he called baba and told him to come into Teju's room..

Soon both their parents,came there into her room and were confused seeing her state as they didn't know about it.. But Aai had some idea as she had seen her in this condition while she was 10 and she got an idea about whole fiasco..

While hearing her, her baba started comforting her while Karan said Aai to find her medicine which would probably in her bag..

Soon her condition got better, and as she was given medicine, due to its influence she slept and that's when, their parents asked what happened to her and Karan explained the whole thing, that's when aai said,

"Lekin Teju ko toh kaafi saalon se yeh attacks nhi aaye hai..Usse yeh attacks aana toh bandh ho gaye the. "

"Aai,usse yeh attack aana kabhi bandh hi nhi hue the bas woh bata nhi rhi thi kisi ko bhi.." Explained Karan..

While Aai felt so helpless thinking that she managed this on her own all these years,so that she (Aai) doesn't get bothered..

But Karan comforted her, and on his insistence, both of their parents, retired to their respective rooms while he stayed back to take care of her..

~×~×~×~×~

So, their love and care isn't faded for each other but it's just that the misunderstanding, that is keeping them away from each other..
