Starting Of An Ending

SHAADI

I am very sorry guys for this long delay. I was busy with college and now with degree. The I was diagnosed with an illness. It just took away my energy to write. I am very sorry. If you guys feel like the story is not progressing then let me know, maybe I can delete it and start with something else. I hope you guys understand.

It was the big day at Maheswari household. The house was decorated beautifully with so many types of flowers, chandeliers, and twinkling lights. Shekar Gadodia and Shramishta could not recognize the household they were really familiar with once they stepped in the house. Swara and Sanskar both did not have any objections towards the decorations. They left the girls to handle it and Ajay was always there to help. 

The kids somehow convinced everyone of the elders to let Kavita be there for the wedding. It took a lot time since everyone was mad with her in some ways except for Swara and Sanskar. They made peace with it. Sujatha was the hardest to forgive her. Nobody blamed her though. For Sujatha, Kavita was the reason she got separated with her son. Kavita was the reason her son missed so much of his daughters lives. 

It was becoming yet another joyful day. With the young teens helping and deciding jewels and the elders making sure that everything was perfect made Swara feel overwhelmed. The last she felt this way was when she got married over 20 years ago.

Ragini couldn't feel any more happier. Everything was finally falling into place. As she was smiling taking in the moment before her, her thoughts drift of elsewhere.

Two nights ago, when she was about to tell her sister that Radhika knows about Maha, her sibling had a bigger news than that. With worried glances exchanged and letting their respective husbands know about it, the four decided to let it be that way. Of all the things the girls are, they are always loyal towards their promise.

"Maa,  let's go. The panditji is asking for the bride. Paa and Ajay bhaiya has already left to bring papa. " Maha called out pulling Ragini out of her thoughts.

"Haan, tk." As Ragini began to make her way towards Swara's room she made a mental note to herself to take a deep breath and relax. Everyone is fine and happy.

***********************************

It was 2pm. It has been 2 hours since the wedding was officiated and the Maheswari household can be seen with family members scattered all around in groups and enjoying.

The rituals after marriage had just ended and while everyone was having a great time, Parineetha can only think about ruining it. She might not like Swara but that doesn't mean she dislike her more than Maha. Maha came from no where. She came and became the eldest granddaughter inheriting the fortunes and becoming everyones favourite girl.

Her mother-in-law has once asked her why she holds so much grudge over a girl who had never done anything wrong. To be honest, even she doesn't know. All she wants is the rightful granddaughter to inheritate everything. She wasn't in the plant so anything, but with Sanskar's return, her tounge begs to break the truth. She just needs to wait for the right time, just like she always does.

***********************************

The next day, the girls returned home with a huge commotion over an argument which was becoming really heated.

They were arguing about an incident where Maha was almost ragged because of her small appearance which makes her look like a junior student.

" How can you just stand quietly with that dumb making you sing? " Radhika asked with her hight pitch voice.

"Radhika, it was a technique. Mamma said that if they rag and it's not harmful and if I find it comfortable, then I can do it. Didn't she say that to you? " Maha fired back.

"Tum dono, please bas karo." Sanskar interfered.

"Mamma, you tell everyone, you said that right. " Maha asked while Radhika was fuming with rage with Laksh by her side.

Before Swara could reply, "Yes, she said that but that doesn't mean I can see my sister being ragged Even if you have no discomfort in it."

"Listen, I am the elder here. You listen to me. " Maha argued back.

"I thought you were the one who said that if you feel it's wrong, oppose it even if it means standing alone. " Radhika said back.

"Don't use my words back to me. " Maha glared.

"I will, you use it sometimes. Why are the rules different for us now? " Radhika asked questioningly.

I am sorry, since when do we have rules. " Maha asked sarcastically.

Laksh noticing the tension increasing stepped in. He don't usually interfere when his daughters argue. But this was different and lasting for a whole now. They don't usually argue. That's what is really surprising for Laksh.

"Enough. I came back from so much office work just to spend time with of you, and all I get is this. I bought your favourite pizzas and ice-cream." Laksh said in a loud voice and only the the tension cleared a little.

"Girls, leave it. Both of you are right in your own way, you girls shouldn't have taken it out on each other. Radhika ask sorry to Maha. Maha you apologise back. " Swara said gently while wrapping an arm around Maha.

"Kyu,  Radhika is right. Why must she apologize to her?" Parineetha pointed at Maha accusing her.

"Bhabi please, we are trying to solve this. It's not that big deal anyway. " Laksh said.

"It is a big deal. Why does Maha always has to be correct? Is she a Mahaan?"

"Badima, I didn't know you feel this way.  I am sorry. Radhika, I am sorry. " Maha asked her apology fearing that this would lead to a very big disagreement. Radhika sensed it as well and tried to lighten the mood.

Just as Swara thought the scenario has become better,her bhabi had to make it worse. Worse to the level where it cannot be mended.

"I don't understand why can't you support your real daughter but instead some girl who you found by the roadside." and as soon as those words came out, everyone there knew things are gonna make for a worse turn.
