After sending Megha home that night.

In no time, Gautam received a call from Rekha ji.

She asked, "Gautam lets postpone the wedding for a while."

"Maa, I told you about this before at home," Gautam said calmly.

Rekha ji replied, "I know, but on your grandfather's end..."

"I don't care if dadaji doesn't like it. Wedding preparations are already done."

"Gautam, don't be impulsive. I know that you like Megha. I really like her too. But don't be at odds with your dadaji due to your bua's instigation. Your bua will be glad if the two of you really get into an argument."

"Jaya bua is terribly wrong if she really thinks that she can ruin my relationship with the family because of a wedding. Ability determines everything. I'm the future successor of the company. She's delusional if she thinks that she can change that. Does she think that Dadaji would put her in charge of the Kapoor Industries instead of me? She is good at inciting trouble and dadaji does get angry but in the end, I'm still the one who can be in this position. I have worked hard for this position all my life. When the time comes, she will regret opposing me today."

"Gautam, discuss this properly with your dadaji. He will agree."

"There is no need. I know my limits. Maa, don't worry."

"You... you... fine, I can't be bothered with you anymore. I'm just an old woman. Even though you say that I make the decisions at home, the truth is that I can't take charge of so many things. You are grown up. I shouldn't be interfering... I'm just afraid that outsiders will make a fool out of you and use you in the end. But you're right. You've always been very independent and very capable. Nevertheless, you're my son after all. To a mother, a child will never grow up. That's why I definitely worry about you."

Gautam said, "Maa... alright, I promise you. I will definitely deal with Shreya once and for all before the wedding. So, Dadaji won't continue being difficult towards you, right?"

"Can you?" Rekha ji was very skeptical.

Gautam smiled. "Whether or not something is possible depends on the person."

"Alright. I believe you." Only then did Rekha ji hang up the phone.

Gautam sucked in a deep breath and stood out. He walked out and looked downstairs while massaging his temple.

Megha was still fiddling with her phone. Upon seeing Gautam come in, she hastily approached him and said, "You..."

Gautam said, "The final list of the food menu has arrived. Do you want to take a look?"

Megha was a little confused.

She hesitated for a bit and looked down.

While clenching the phone in her hand, she said, "Is it... really a good idea for us to have the wedding now? I think we should postpone it. To be honest, whether or not we have a wedding is not that important to me..."
