His Little Bride

Chapter - 37

Time slipped away like sand in our hands, and before we knew it, the last day of the year arrived!

Every year, Raghuvanshi would host a grand party on this day, but not this year. The recent incident with Noor still weighs heavily on everyone's minds. However, Noor doesn't let it affect her.

Back home, everything seemed normal, albeit with tightened security courtesy of Adhyansh. Noor, an obedient wife, rarely ventured out without Adhyansh's consent. She only left for college two or three days a week, spending the rest of her time reading at home or dancing to lift her spirits.

"These days, Adhyansh had become quite intelligent and calm. He would return home by 9 pm like a responsible husband and have dinner with his family, filled with laughter. After that, Adhyansh would spend some loving moments with his wife, embracing her and professing his love before going to sleep. Noor too had become more comfortable with Adhyansh now; she couldn't spend a night or a day without him. "

In Raghuvanshi Villa,

Arti ji was sitting in the hall, holding a card that was probably a New Year's invitation. She was scrutinizing the card carefully when she saw her four children approaching the main gate of the hall, returning from shopping.

Noor rushed towards Arti ji to hug her, but Adhyansh intervened, saying, "Noor, freshen up first, then touch mom!"

Noor asked, "Why?"

Aarvi - Noor Bhaiya is right, we've just arrived from outside. Let's freshen up first, and then we'll show mom all the shopping.

Noor - Alright, I'll go and be the first to take a bath and come back.

(Saying this, Noor starts to rush off, but Adhyansh shouts out)

Adhyansh - Noor, no running! Walk!

(Noor makes a face and walks away. After this, Shourya and Aarvi also leave to freshen up.)

"Now only Aarti ji and Adhyansh were there... Adhyansh comes to his mother and says, ( with joy and happiness ) 'Mom, you know today Noor did a lot of shopping, she bought dresses for everyone, from servants to guards! Can you imagine? She said it's New Year's, everyone should have new clothes!'

Aarti ji doesn't respond. Adhyansh says, 'Mom, are you listening?' Aarti ji snaps out of her reverie, 'Yes, yes!'

Adhyansh asks, 'Where are you lost, Mom?'

Aarti ji replies, 'Your father came home today!'"

"Adhyansh had only heard this much that... anger filled that face.. on the same face where there was laughter a while ago, now there was anger and immense anger.

'How dare he...?!

How did he have the courage to come here? And how did you let him enter the house? He should have been thrown out of the house!

Aarti sits back on the sofa and starts thinking about what happened a while ago

"Flashback ~

Shaurya and Adhyansh returned home earlier than usual today, and upon Aarvi's insistence, they left. Aarti ji was sitting in the hall when the landline phone rang. She picked up the call, and it was from their watchman.

"Ma'am, there's an Arnav Singania standing outside and asking for permission to come in. Should I let him in?" Aarti was taken aback, her eyes welling up with tears, and she replied with a choked voice, "Yes, send him in!"

"After some time, the main gate of the hall opens, and a 55-60-year-old man wearing a suit and glasses enters. He is none other than Arnav Singhania, Arti's husband and Adhyansh's father. However, he had abandoned Arti and Adhyansh to marry another woman.

Arnav: ( shamelessly ) How are you, Mrs. Arti Arnav Singhania?

Arti: ( politely ) My name is Arti Singh Raghuvanshi, not Arti Arnav Singhania!

Arnav: ( exploring the mansion ) Your son has worked very hard to giving you this luxurious life, but still you're just an abandoned woman , who can't knows manner to speak with guest .

"Aarti - Speak softly, you're standing in my son's house, built with his hard-earned money. One word from me, and the guards will throw you out on the street.

Arnav - You're still insolent.

Aarti - Look at yourself in the mirror, and you'll understand what insolence and shamelessness are.

Arnav - I didn't come here to argue with a shameless woman like you. Your in-laws are counting their last breaths; they want to see you and Adhyansh at the New Year's party. Come and meet them.

Arnav leaves in haste and anger."
