Part 24 – New Start

Ride back home was turbulent, with her heart doing a somersault every time she reminisced his smile, his husky voice and his presence overall. Slowly going over the events she realised she was jealous of the other girl. She couldn't believe how rude she spoke and how she had snapped at him. She also realised that he had probably guessed her jealousy and hence repeatedly mentioned dealing with the event manager. She cursed herself, "Oh, what a shame, and what more? He does not even know her name and I thought he was flirting. So what, why does it or should it bother me?"

She was suddenly reminded of the time when he had gone to pick Lavanya after she had patched up their fight. She had felt a tinge of jealousy then too. Perhaps it was the start of the journey she could not get back from, and finally she had given in on Diwali day, only to get her heart crushed. Yet she had braced her heart and picked herself after returning back to Lucknow. What was happening now? Am I once again heading in the same direction.. No she did not want to think of it and break down again . She wondered why the pain grew only worse every time and why could she not get over it.

"now now Khushi, stay away, don't fall for it again. Please for your own sake. See how jiji has played safe. Don't get swayed into this again." She alerted herself.

"Sasuma (mother min law), how can anybody not care about their daughter? Hello hai bye bye, It has been about 10 days now. If it was anybody else, they would have agreed instantly and probably the marriage also would have been over by now!!! " Mami was busy serving breakfast before the show could begin.

"Manorama, they love their daughter more than your money. That's why they have not replied." Nani replied. Giving a reassuring smile to Akash, "Shashi had called and told they would need some time, especially with his health and other things "

Still not impressed by the attitude, Mami replied "huh, they will not get such an alliance."

Arnav, though was previously on his Mami's side, now seemed to be in double mind. "Mami, yesterday I had called Shashi uncle if I could send the car to bring them for the show, they refused to come"

"Arnav bitwa, they have never in their life had this opportunity, still they seem to be showing off. " Mami replied getting angry stares from her son and husband.

"Manorama, that is probably the reason they want their daughter to be safe from all these taunts of yours. At this rate of yours, I hope they agree to it. We might have to speak to them again." Nani openly told her off, leaving behind a sour Mami to whine. She was unable to understand how anyone could decline 'their' offer!!! Looking at Arnav, Nani replied, "Arnav bitwa, if we had not made the proposal, would you have offered this service?"

Now when he gave it a thought, he understood, why they had refused,.

Not too keen to dwell on these issues at this time, Anjali reminded "Chote, check with Aman if the journalists and reporters have been briefed in advance so as to not cause a big hustle and bustle. I want the show to run smoothly"
