"what?" Daljeet said, he was so anxious as he continues to speak. "You mean Aunt and Uncle wants to get Achu married."
"Yes, and that is why Achu is crying so much. She wasn't informed about it. Father and Mother just started planning it on their own without informing anyone." Priya said.
Just then Aarti and Girish entered the house.
"Namastay my friend, you are here." Girish greeted on entering the house.
"Yes" Rajeet said going closer to Girish and his wife Aarti.
"Namastay Rajeet, what brought you here?" Aarti asked.
"We just came to visit you or are we not allow to visit here anymore?" Rajeet asked.
"No that is not what I meant, please sit down." Aarti requested.
Just then Rajeet and Daljeet sat down, after a while Girish too sat down.
"Priyanka get them tea." Aarti said.
"Yes mother, I will get it right away." Priyanka ran to get the tea in the kitchen as Achanna went to her room angrily.
"What is wrong with Achanna? She seems angry." Rajeet asked.
"Nothing, she is just being childish. You know how children can be silly." Aarti answered.
"We came to visit since we haven't heard from you in a while." Rajeet said.
"But father........" Daljeet tried to interrupt his father.
" I know just what you are about to say." Rajeet said.
"What is going on with you two?" Girish asked.
"We were supposed to go somewhere else but we decide to come here first before going there." Rajeet replied.
Rajeet looked at Daljeet and gestures for them to leave already.
"We will leave now." Rajeet said standing up from the chair he was sitting on.
Daljeet too stood up to leave.
"Priya, were is the tea?" Aarti shouted calling out to her daughter.
" Why don't you stay and have tea before leaving?" Girish asked.
" We are already late, so we will leave now. Next time we visit we won't only have tea but we will also eat before we leave." Rajeet assured.
" Okay, if you insist." Aarti said as her and her husband excort Rajeet and his son to the door.
"Namastay" Daljeet greeted as he bent to touch Aarti and Girish feet but they stopped him halfway.
"Bless you my son." Aarti said.
"Bless you." Girish said.
"Please take care of Achanna, Namastay" Rajeet greets.
" Okay,Namastay" Aarti and Girish replied.
Rajeet and Daljeet left.
On getting to the house, they met Sriti by the door side. On seeing them Sriti rushed to meet them.
" So did they accept? " She asked.
"She is getting married." Rajeet replied.
" How could they have accepted, they have no shame left in them." Sriti criticized.
" A marriage proposal was already sent before we got there. We were late." Daljeet said.
" Really? I knew it, that was why I warned you but the both of you refuse to listen to me. Now have you seen." Sriti replied happily.
Daljeet who could not listen to the things is Mother was saying walk out on them and went to his room as Rajeet did the same.
Immediately Sriti called Sanita.
" Hello Sanita."
" Hello Sriti."
"I'm so happy today because I think Pallavi can now have a chance with my son because the girl he wants to marry is getting married to someone else." Sriti said.
" Really, I am so happy too."
Just then the landline phone rang.
" Let me call you back, I need to pick a call." Sriti said.
Sriti moved to were the landline phone is and pick up the phone.
" Hello"
" Hello mother."
" Oh my daughter, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing good mother"
" How about your husband?"
" He is fine. I called to tell you that I am coming home tomorrow"
" Really"
" Yes"
" No problem then, I will prepare for your arrival." Sriti said happily as the unknown person who was calling her hang up the call
"Munna, Preshant, Aditya come here." Sriti called out very loud. Just then three young men came running towards her from different direction.
" Yes ma'am." They replied.
" Inform the other, start making preparation. Decorate the house because we are going to be a having important guest coming over." She said smiling to herself.
" Okay ma'am." They said replying to her as they went towards different direction again."
************************************
Achanna was still confuse, it was like she was dreaming. She couldn't understand her parents anymore, ' or were they joking with her, how could they have arranged her marriage without informing her or asking for her opinion on it ' she thought. Angrily, she ran out of her room to the living room to meet her parents. On getting there, she saw her parents sitting moody including Priyanka.
" Father! Mother! How could you have done this to me. You didn't even inform me before planning this which is unfair." Achanna said.
" If really we are your parents, I don't think we need your permission to make a decision on what is best for you." Girish said.
" But....." Achanna was trying to talk but she got interrupted by her mother.
" Achu please....." She said putting her both hands on Achanna' s shoulders and continue " look, we are your parents and we want the best for you and your sister, which is why we are trying our best to make the best decision for the both of you and in your lives which you won't regret. So please my daughter, try to understand mine and your father' s point. Of course, we are not trying to punish you because you are our daughter so why would we do that, why would we punish you? So please, try to understand." Aarti said trying to convince Achanna.
" Fine Mother. No problem, I will do as you say, I have no choice after all." Achanna said.
" Thank you my daughter, you have made the right choice." Aarti said stroking Achanna' s hair as her father noded his head in agreement.
" Priya, get tea for your sister......" Girish said facing and immediately Priyanka ran to get the tea, just then he turn to face Achanna and continue talking " ....... Achu, sit and take some rest. Make sure to get ready tomorrow, the groom family are coming."
" Okay father" Achanna said.
The next day in the Maholtra' s mansion, everyone was waiting in awe curious of who the guest they are having is because Sriti refused to tell them who it is. Just then the door was open by a tall lady in white and cream Sari with lots of jewelries on her with a beautiful smile on her face entered the house as Sriti went to welcome her. There was a smile on everyone' s faces including the staff who works for the Maholtra' s family including Sahil.
" Oh my Sangeetha, welcome." Sriti said going forward towards her as Sangeetha tries to receive her mother' s blessings. Her mother stopped her halfway.
" Bless you my child." Sriti said.
