Continuation from previous chap
It's been 10 mins since they are in garden but no one dare to break the silence. He was busy in in checking his phone & she was busy in looking in different directions. Unable to bare this silence Avni thought to break this....
Ummm you seemed so busy ?
Ahhh nothing as such it's just that I don't know how to start the conversation so remained silent
Oh! Well you already know about me & my profession so is anything else left to ask me
No! I mean.... see Avni I'll come straight to the point I'm not at all interested in this marriage stuff but for my parents I came here as I can't say no to them
Even am not interested Neil & am also doing this for my parents. See here neither my opinion matters nor yours coz it's already fixed & this meeting is just for a namesake so it's nothing we can do rather than just going with the flow
Hmmm may be ua right but atleast you can try talking to your parents about this coz my parents already made up their mind not to listen to me
Don't you think I've already spoke to them about this but they are way to stubborn to understand anything so I just gave up
Hmmm but we will not be happy in this relationship
I know but for our parents we've to do this & may be after 6months we will let our parents know that we are unable to go head in this marriage even after a try so we are just planning to have a divorce & will convince them for the same
Hmmm sounds good! So as of now we will just go with the flow as u suggested
Okay! Let's go inside....saying this she got up & walked towards the door followed by him.
Ashish we will call pandit for fixing the dates today it self wat say he heard Prakash say to which he replied yeah that's good & how about asking him to come here only by evening Neela said to which they all replied okay. After that they had lunch & were discussing about the marriage & stuff like that.
*********
Later in the evening priest arrived & was checking the dates so after one week engagement can be done & after a month marriage can be done they heard priest saying to which they said okay excitedly. Everyone's face was brimming in happiness apart from our Avneil but they tried to smile for their families. After discussing about engagement Khanna's left the house not before telling them to meet at shopping mall tomorrow for shopping.
Mom dad why we need to shop for myself as already I've outfits which I've designed & remember your daughter is a fashion designer they heard Avni saying to which her mom replied we do remember everything but Prakash ji & Shweta wanted to buy a outfit for you so we agreed for this & if you want you can design your outfits for your marriage & other rituals & also design outfits for Neil but before that don't forget to discuss the same with him saying this her mom retired to her room while her father was busy talking on phone & with little bit of disappointment she left to her room.
***********
Next day at shopping mall
Khanna's arrived & were waiting for the Mehta's so that they can start shopping for engagement. Neil was busy talking on phone while others were having some discussion. So sorry Prakash for keeping you guys waiting actually we got stuck in traffic so that's reason we couldn't reach on time he heard Ashish apologising to which he replied it's okay no problem it's been only 10 mins since they have come here to which Ashish smiled & they all went to store.
