When arrange marriage changes into love❤

Chapter 5

Naina stood in the living room with her eyes lowered hearing the taunts from her tauji, Taiji and her father. Preeti stood beside her and held her hand, she was her Hanuman who always supported her in hard times. Her father was angry as the dahej demanded by the groom was too much and he won't be able to afford it, Taiji was consistently scolding naina about her talks with Anand which was heard by the groom Sharad. Anand was protecting his small niece from the scolds and told them that naina was not responsible for any of these things.

Soon after the discussions, and after getting another rejection, the agarwal family had lost hope and considered naina as a bad luck. The little girl was again worried and cried at her said and considered as her unlucky kismat. Preeti was asked to return to her home before it gets dark so that her family is not worried. After having a look at her sister, preeti hugged her and left for her house.

On the way when preeti was searching for an auto, she spotted Nanaji who after seeing her waved at her and told to come there. She came there, touched his feet and said Namaste. Nanaji knew about preeti as naina told him about her and once during Diwali Preeti had come with naina to the temple and they got to know each other.

Nanaji said, "Aur Preeti beta kaisi Ho?" Preeti smilingly replied, "Bohot achi Nanaji, aap bataye, aapki tabiyat kaisi hai?" Nanaji replied, "Bilkul theek, Ab Dekho tumhari behn Kitna khayaal rakhti hai mera, bhale hi mere ghar Nahin rehti, mera bas Chalta toh main naina ko hi mere ghar ki bahu banata. Preeti's smile faded and she looked rather worried, seeing her sad face, Nanaji enquired, "Kya hua preeti beta Sab theek hai na, aur naina bata Rahin thi ki Aaj uske liye rishtha aaya hai, kya rishtha Pakka hua? " Preeti first hesitated to tell the truth to Nanaji but later thought that he was very close to naina and he could only save her sister. Thinking so, she narrated the whole event of the evening to Nanaji. Nanaji was shocked to hear that and worried for the little girl, what was her fault, had she said something wrong, she was saying the truth that the groom's side was demanding a huge amount of dowry. He never interfered in other family's matter but her's was different, she had been like his granddaughter just like sameer is his grandson. She cared for him, shared everything with him, he thought to talk to her the next Monday when she comes to the temple. He asked preeti to go safely and muttered a goodbye. Preeti also felt relaxed after sharing the problem to Nanaji as he was the only man who could do something for naina.

The next morning, naina had not come out from her room, the last night events and taunts were ringing I'm her ears. She lied on the bed with continuously tears flowing from her eyes. Bela had knocked her room twice or thrice but she didn't utter a word nor opened the door. Bela was worried but thought to leave her alone for sometime so that she could get out of the dilemma.

The agarwal house had been a little silent than always. Tauji, Taiji along with Pralay had left for Surat to attend the wedding of taiji's relative. Rakesh had left in the morning for his school, and to order new books for the library. Arjun had left for his cricket practice. Anand was attending a phone call from his office and to fix some important meetings for good deals. He looked at Bela who was worried and asked, "Kya baat hai Bela pareshan lag rahin ho? " Bela replied, "Ji woh naina darwaza nahin khol rahin hai, mujhe uski fikar ho rahin hain" Anand softly replied, "Bela tum chinta mat karo Kal jo kuch bhi hua uske baad woh Bichari kya kar sakti hai, Isliye usse thodi der akele chhod dijiye."  Before the lunch time naina came out of her room, her face had paled and looked like that she had cried a lot. Bela let her sit on the chair and gave her water, patted her head and asked her, "Beta Ab tu theek hai na? " Naina nodded her head in yes, she ate the meal and then headed to sleep as her head was paining.

The next day, when Bela came to wake up naina, she found that she is suffering from high fever. She was asleep and was not able to wake up. Bela informed this to Anand and they took her to the nearest city hospital.
Bela was panicked while Anand was consoling her. The doctor checked her fever,gave the dose and informed Anand that she would get awake after some time.

Bela sat near her, holding her hand and caressing her forehead and murmured, "Hey bhagwan ji meri naina ko shakti do!" It seemed like God had listened to her wish, and naina slowly opened her eyes looking at the surroundings. Bela stood up and hugged her and asked her how is she feeling? Anand after filling the formalities came in the ward and looked at her, her face was still pale, eyes red and she was not ready to smile. Anand patted her head and sat beside her. Anand huskily asked, "Naina beta Ab kaisa laga rahan hai?"
Naina just nodded a yes. Anand thought to give her some rest whilst he goes to ask the doctor about her condition.

Otherside Sameer had come to the city hospital with Nanaji for his weekly check-ups. Nanaji was taken in a certain special ward till the doctor arranges the BP apparatus. Munna and Pandit who accompanied him came in the room and talked to Nanaji whilst sameer went to pay the check-up fee. When he reached the counter, he saw a man talking to the doctor. He heard their conversation as the man looked quite serious.

The doctor asked, "Dekhiye Aap mujhe bataye ki kya yeh ladki kisi baat se pareshan hai? " Anand told him the matter of her marriage and this had been the reason that she is suffering. The doctor finally said, "Aap unka dhyaan rakhiye, aur unhe tension se durr rakhiye" Anand nodded in agreement and then the doctor told the nurse pointing towards the bed where naina was.

Sameer thought, "Aajkal ka zamana kaisa Ho gya hai, log paison ki wajah Se rishton ko bandhte hai, Bichari yeh ladki. He looked at the girl lying on the bed restlessly, her face was not visible because of a lady standings in between, just as the lady had moved and Sameer was about to see the girl, Pandit called him from behind and he turned to his direction. So Sameer had missed the chance to watch that little girl's face, he went back to Nanaji. After finishing, they headed back to their house. Nanaji went to his room to take some rest but he was still thinking about naina and the event which took place in her house the day before yesterday.

Naina was back to home after the medications. She was told to eat something light in the dinner and then went back to her room. The next day was Monday, as per her schedule, she goes to the temple but today she refused and Anand and Bela were shocked. After two three days once Preeti came to visit naina and tell her about the happenings in her sasural and then they were accompanied by their childhood bestie Swati who got to know about this. The girls had a chit chat but naina didn't smile or get involed in a single activity. The girls were upset seeing their friend's situation.

After 15 days Tauji Taiji had returned after their hectic journey. Tauji went to his room for getting fresh whilst beena sat on the swing and demanded  an adarak wali chai from Bela. Pralay had switched on the TV whilst he munched down the biscuits and chocolates given to him by the relatives. Taiji complained about the arrangements while Tauji was least interested in it. Arjun was in his room taking an afternoon nap.

Beena enquired about naina and her whereabouts, Anand told her everything, but she didn't care and told them that it was all her dramas and she was just acting. Anand bela didn't pay any attention to her rubbish talks.

Nanaji on the other hand was worried, naina had not come to the temple since the last 15-16 days, he was tensed for her and imagined about her state.

The next morning, naina woke up with a new start, she got ready and worshipped God with an aarti. Anand was happy to see his sweetie naina back. She touched the elder's feets and got back into the household choirs.

There was a knock on the door, Arjun stood up to open the door. He saw a man standing at the entrance. The man smilingly replied, "Namaste main jayprakash Maheshwari! "

Just a start for a new relationship!
