Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh (Completed)

Chapter 83: The Storm

Manvi, Khushi, and Aarav were immersed in the bustling atmosphere of the shopping mall, preparing for the upcoming engagement ceremony. The air was alive with excitement as they navigated through racks of vibrant lehengas.

Manvi carefully examined a few options, holding them against herself in front of the mirror. Her eyes caught Aarav's reflection standing behind her, his presence reassuring yet discerning. With a subtle hand gesture, he signaled his opinion on each outfit she tried. The first one received a tepid "okay okay," prompting Manvi to discard it and move on.

Picking up another lehenga, Manvi glanced at Aarav expectantly, only to see him shake his head in disagreement. Frustrated but undeterred, she turned to Khushi, seeking her daughter's opinion.

"Khushi, yeh waala le lo na," Manvi suggested, hoping this one would meet with approval.

Khushi let out a deep sigh, recognizing the familiar cycle. "Mumma, yeh toh 10th lehenga hai," she remarked with playful exasperation, handing the outfit to her mother. Despite the repetition, Khushi couldn't help but smile, amused by her mother's determination to find the perfect lehenga.

"Offo Mumma... yeh 10th lehenga hai," Khushi repeated, handing the lehenga to her. Manvi looked in the mirror again. Aarav, with his hand, signaled that it was perfect. Manvi smiled and kept on looking at him.

Undeterred by the number of choices she had gone through, Manvi tried on the lehenga once more, stealing a glance at Aarav through the mirror. This time, his subtle hand gesture conveyed approval, indicating that this particular lehenga was indeed perfect.

Manvi's face lit up with a smile, her eyes lingering on Aarav with affection. Khushi, observing the silent exchange between her mother and father, couldn't contain her own smile. Seeing the unspoken understanding and love between them, Khushi felt a surge of happiness for her family.

In that moment, amidst the swirl of colors and fabrics, the bond between Manvi, Aarav, and Khushi grew stronger, their hearts connected through the joy of preparing for a new chapter in their lives.

With Manvi's lehenga settled, their attention now focused on finding the perfect outfits for Khushi's upcoming engagement ceremony.

Manvi's keen eye spotted a beautiful blue lehenga adorned with intricate embroidery. "Khushi, yeh lo," she suggested with a smile, holding it up for her daughter to see.

Khushi's face brightened as she examined the lehenga. "Okay Mumma, yeh bahut achha hai," she agreed, delighted by her mother's choice.

Eager for Aarav's opinion, Khushi showed him the lehenga. Aarav's eyes lit up with a smile as he admired his daughter in the elegant ensemble. "Bahut hi acha hai, Khushi. Take it," he encouraged, pleased with her selection.

With the decision made, Manvi and Khushi proceeded to give their measurements for any necessary adjustments. Aarav took charge of the payment, ensuring everything was settled smoothly.

Once done with Khushi's attire, they made their way to the men's section to choose a sherwani for Aarav. The section was filled with a variety of traditional and modern designs, each one exuding elegance and charm.

Manvi and Khushi playfully offered their opinions as Aarav tried on different sherwanis, sharing light-hearted banter and laughter as they made their selections. Aarav, in turn, valued their input, appreciating their involvement in this special occasion.

"Yeh wala kaisa hai, Papa?" Khushi asked, holding up a cream-colored sherwani with gold embroidery.

Aarav looked at it thoughtfully. "Hmmm... thoda simple lag raha hai," he said, shaking his head.
