His Little Bride

Chapter - 2

The next morning... Today was a very special day for the Raghuvanshi villa, as it was the day of the only son's wedding! Preparations were underway everywhere in the villa, and the wedding was to be held at a grand hotel...!!

At 9 am,

Arti Ji called out to Payal, "Come down quickly and have breakfast, we have to leave soon." Just then, Adhyansh entered from the main door, wearing his jogging outfit."

Adhyansh came to his mother and said,

"Morning, Maa !"( MOM )

Arti ji replied, "Good morning, Beta !" ( SON )

Adhyansh observed, "You seem very happy today!"

Arti ji beamed, "Why shouldn't I be? My only son is getting married today!"

Adhyansh murmured, "Hmm..."

Arti Ji continued, "By the way, Noor got her dress yesterday, right? She came home and went straight to sleep, she didn't even have dinner... You didn't say anything to her, did you?"

Adhyansh - "Oh, Mom... you and your darling Noor, both are strange. No matter what you give her, she won't even glance at you. You've spoiled her too much, unlike modern girls, she doesn't know how to socialize with people!"

Arti ji - "She's not like other girls... she can't mix with people, what's her fault in that?"

Adhyansh - "The fault isn't hers, it's yours... you don't want her to come out of her safe shell, but this world isn't for people like her.

Arti Ji - "That's why I don't want her to come out of her safe shell!"

Adhyansh - "But, Mom, this is wrong... Will you be with her throughout her life?"

Arti ji - "Come here, sit down (making him sit on the sofa). Listen, I know that a new girl, 'Kashish', is going to enter your life, and as your wife, she'll bring new responsibilities for you... But, son, don't forget your old responsibilities amid new ones! You're right, can I be with her forever?"

(Adhyansh - "Mom, that's not what I meant")

Arti ji - "You know, when I brought her home, she was only 2 years old, with a small, round face... she would crawl and come to me... back then, I had a lingering fear... would I be able to be a good mother to her? Would I be able to give her the upbringing her real mother would have given her? But as time passed, I realized that no one could be better for Noor than me... but there's also a tinge of sadness that I couldn't make her as confident as other girls... But there's one more thing... if anything happens to me, will you, Shourya, Arav, Payal, all of you take care of Noor? Will you?"

Adhyansh - "Of course, Mom... she's family!"

Arti ji - "No matter what happens, please don't leave her alone, or this cruel world will swallow her up."

Adhyansh - "Mom, why are you crying? You're there for her, and we're also here for her... Mimi..." (Noor's voice comes from upstairs, wearing a white nightdress, standing on the stairs)

Noor - "Mimi, your daughter is troubling me."

Arti ji - "Payal, coming from behind, Payal... 'Mom, I didn't do anything, I just woke her up like you said'."

Noor - "Mimi, she... " (Noor's speech stops as she looks at Adhyansh, comes down the stairs, and stands quietly behind Arti ji)

Arti ji - "Noor, go freshen up, we have to leave soon."

Noor nods and leaves, while Adhyansh's gaze remains fixed on her, not budging for even a minute!

Arti ji - "Adhyansh, you also freshen up!"

Adhyansh - "Yes, Mom!"

It was evening time...

The hotel was fully decorated and ready, with a beautifully decorated mandap in the centre of the hall. Only the priest was sitting in the mandap, performing some rituals. All the guests had arrived, and the media was also present, with tight security arrangements in place.

In one room of the hotel, Payal, Aravi and Noor were getting ready, while in another room, Adhyansh and Shourya were getting ready.

Suddenly, someone knocks on the door of
Adhyansh and Shourya's room!

Adhyansh says, "Shourya, open the door, it must be Mom!"

Shourya goes to open the door, and finds Kashish's parents standing there!

Shourya - "It's Kashish's parents!"

Adhyansh - "What's wrong, are they okay?

Kashish's mother - "Son, we can't find Kashish anywhere!"

Adhyansh - "Check the hotel rooms, she must be somewhere here!"

Kashish's father - "We've checked the entire hotel, but she's nowhere to be found!"

Adhyansh - "Let me check my room again, I'll be right back!"

Kashish's mother - "Wait, son, there's no need to go now. We found this in Kashish's room!"

Adhyansh took the paper from her and started reading... The paper said...

The paper says:

"I can't marry you, Adhyansh... so I'm leaving. Forgive me!
Goodbye, Adhyansh !!

- Kashish
