Silently...

Part:34

Seeing Arjun’s father’s face, Riya could no longer refuse and accepted the property papers. Arjun’s father lovingly blessed her and walked out of the room.

A little later, when the auspicious time arrived, Arjun and Riya tied the knot with full rituals, taking the blessings of God as witness. In every ceremony that Arjun’s mother wished to conduct, both Arjun and Riya participated wholeheartedly.

For Riya, it was a love marriage, so she gave her 100% into it. But the surprising part was that Arjun—who had agreed to this marriage only for his parents’ happiness and to save Naina from Sahil—was also seen giving his 100%. Watching this, the experienced eyes of Arjun’s parents filled with joy.

After the wedding, both of them spent time with his parents. Until now, Arjun’s phone had been on silent mode. Soon, it was afternoon, and the idea of having lunch together came up. Arjun’s parents requested their daughter-in-law to cook something with her own hands. Poor Riya, however, only knew how to make kheer (a sweet dish), and sadly, both his parents were forbidden from eating sweets.

So, what happened next? Arjun helped his newlywed wife in the kitchen to prepare food. Seeing both of them cooking together, the parents felt happy.

After lunch, the parents left for home. As soon as their car drove away, Sameer’s car stopped in front of Arjun’s house. Before Arjun could say anything, Sameer directly entered inside. Looking at the wedding decorations, he was surprised.

Sameer (in his mind): The wedding happened today? Then why did Arjun tell me yesterday that he was already married?

While Sameer was lost in thought, Riya came out of Arjun’s bedroom.

Riya: Arjun, that… (noticing Sameer) Oh! Rathore Sir, you? (turning to Arjun) Arjun, you didn’t tell me that Sir would also be coming to eat at our wedding feast.

Sameer: You two got married today?

Riya: Yes, this very morning.

Sameer: Then why did Arjun tell me yesterday that he was already married?

Riya looked at Arjun and immediately understood what needed to be said.

Riya: We were already married, but Arjun’s parents wanted the wedding to happen once more in front of their eyes, so…

Arjun: What are you doing here, Rathore?

Sameer: You weren’t answering your phone, so I came to check.

Arjun checked his phone and saw 50 missed calls from Sameer.

Arjun: Seriously, 50 missed calls? What could be such a big problem, Sir?

Sameer: Sakshi is missing.

Arjun & Riya: What???
