"That's How We MET"

|| Chapter Twenty-Six ||

Happy reading.

10 p.m.

Everyone was tired and settled on their sides that's when priyansh came up with an interesting question he asked,
"Aaji I have a question,deetya's surname is Khurrana which means punjabi but you are a proper marathi kokani family then how come aunty married into a punjabi family?"

Nani smiled and replied,
"It's a long story beta you must be tired, you should sleep now I'll tell you some other day".

But Everyone insisted aaji to tell the story and finally aaji agreed.

"So it was my best friend's daughter's wedding in delhi and we all were invited for the same, that friend of mine is punjabi,
Gayatri was really impressed by Maya and asked her hand for her elder son."

Aarav asked,
"And you agreed?"

Aaji replied,
"Nahi beta! Beti dene wali thi toh test lena toh banta hai na , so i asked deetya's dad his whole biodata and everything because he was the one who asked his mom to ask for the rishta, he was ready to give any test."

Everyone was curious to know the further story.
Trisha asked,
"So what was the test?"

Aaji laughed and replied,
"I told him to make puran poli as deetya's mother loves puran poli, so her dad learned it and made it for her, of course it wasn't perfect at all but the efforts he took and the love he had in his eyes for my daughter made me trust him and...... ".

Aaji was about to say further but taksh interrupted her and asked,
"And you agreed for the marriage?"

Aaji replied,
"Yes I agreed."

Taksh spoke subconsciously but loud enough for everyone to listen,
"It was really difficult but it happened."

Aaji smiled and said,
"If you really love someone then no matter what,your constant efforts win over everyone's heart. all you have to do is have faith in yourself and your loved ones."

That's it!!
This is all that taksh needed to hear. He was stuck in his love towards deetya and on the other hand the proper Rajasthani Daughter-in-law his family always wanted but aaji's words helped him to get clarity in his thoughts.

It was not like he was about to end his relationship with deetya because of his family but was a bit scared of their reaction.

He came out of his dilemma when Aarav said,
"Taksh chill i know what you are thinking and i am sure you'll handle it all, but for now enjoy this thing."

Taksh smiled back at him and looked at deetya who was already looking at him and she gave him an assuring smile.

•••••••

At night around 2 am deetya woke up and went to the kitchen to get some water.
She was about to leave when she felt someone behind her. Before she could turn and see that person, the person wrapped his one arm around her mouth and the other one around her waist, lifted her and in a swift moment slid behind the shelf.

Deetya was struggling to get out of the grip but it was of no use. That's when deetya's mom entered the kitchen and filled the water jug and went back.

The person loosened his grip and deetya turned to face him. And as we all know now who it could be other than our own Taksh prajapati.

Deetya asked,
"Tum?"

Taksh replied,
"Toh aur koi aane wala tha?"

Deetya ignoring his questions asked another question,
"What are you doing here?"
