Happy Reading!

Triloknath saw Abhishek and Arohi looking and each other. The old man chuckled and resumed having his food thinking about the two of them.

Everyone had their food, and Arohi started taking all the dishes to the kitchen clearing the dining table.

"Indrajeet ji now I think we should leave" said Suket looking at his wristwatch.

"Do we really have to go dad? I like it here only" Ashika said with a pout, making everyone chuckle.

"You can come here anytime you want Ashi, this is also your house" Arohi said winking to Ashika.

"Then what is the need to go to that big haveli, let us all stay here only" Ashika said with a wide smile.

"Ashu stop behaving like a little kid, mom dad dadu let's go" said Abhishek not liking Ashika's behavior.

"It was nice meeting you all. Arohi beta do visit us in Mumbai. We would love to have you there" said Triloknath keeping his hand on her head to which she nodded with a smile. Listening to which Abhishek had a frown on his forehead.

Everyone bid goodbye and the Mehra's left for their haveli. After the wedding rituals finished they all went back to Mumbai.

On the other, Arohi spent time with her family and after a week went back to Mumbai.

----------------------------------------------------------

A week later,

Everyone was sitting at the dining table having their breakfast . Ashika already went to her school and Abhishek went to Germany.

"I was wondering something" Bhavna said

"We all ears" Suket said

"What do you guys think about Arohi?" Triloknath and Suket raised their brow at her question. "She is sweet, well-mannered and beautiful. She is the type of girl we want for our Abhi. And I feel dad you also liked her right?" she continued.

"Yes she is a nice girl. Also belongs from Udaipur" Triloknath said

"Hmm, she belongs from a reputed family and her upbringing is also good" Suket agreed with them. "But what are you referring about Bhavna?"

"I think she would be a good match for Abhi" she looked at the two men who were thinking about it.

"Well I was also thinking the same. But now that you also think the same, we can talk to Indrajeet about the marriage"

"But dad she is too young for Abhi"

"If you are forgetting we also have an age gap of 5 years" Triloknath chuckled at her comment.

"I think she is going to be a good fit for our Abhi. She will handle him properly. I think we should talk to Indrajeet regarding this" they all nodded. He always wanted a simple girl for his grandson. The moment he saw Arohi, he liked her. He liked the way she respected her elders and she was just the like the girl he wanted.

"But I don't think Abhi will agree for this marriage" said Suket knowing how stubborn his son is.

"He will have to. He would never deny me. Anyways, is he aware of my wish for his marriage." said Triloknath. Well, it is true, Abhishek never denies anything to his grandfather.

.

Triloknath called Indrajeet and told him about Abhishek and Arohi. Indrajeet was stunned to know about the old man's wish regarding his daughter. He first hesitated regarding this marriage but then he assured Triloknath that he would talk to his daughter for this marriage. He was in dilemma as he was afraid of Arohi's answer and how the Mehra's will react if they deny. He can't deny the request of either of them.

.

Arohi was working for her project but she was unable to concentrate. Her mind was still stuck with the conversation she had with her parents. She was shocked to hear about the proposal from Mehra's. Her parents were so happy about the proposal.

She liked everyone in the family but Abhishek... She could do anything for her family but, marriage? She was unable to prepare herself for this thing. She is just 19-year-old whereas Abhishek is 27. There was a 8 year gap between them. She can't live a life with compromises.

With a lot of conflict with her mind, she decided to do the project later and decided to take a walk outside.

She was walking in a nearby park. It is usually crowded with people but as it is night time there was no one. She was enjoying the breeze but then she suddenly heard someone shouting. She looked around and saw two men standing, facing each other.

The man was shouting at the other man for god knows what. Then suddenly the man held the other man's collar and started punching his face. Arohi was shocked to see this and ran the save the angry man's from his wrath.

PS. The angry an is none other than our Abhishek.

"Leave him you idiot, he will die" Arohi shouted trying the save the man.

Abhishek heard her voice and turned his face to see who dared to stop him. Both were stunned to see each other. Both were lost and the other man took it as an opportunity and got out of Abhishek's hold. And held a knife in front of Arohi's neck to get out of there.

Arohi got scared and Abhishek's anger was too high now. "Leave her or you won't be able to walk home on your feet" Abhishek warned the man.

"Oh I bet you Abhishek" saying he pushed Arohi towards Abhishek and ran away. Abhishek immediately held her.

Abhishek ran after him but he was gone. He was so raged on Arohi for coming in his way. He walked towards her and her her arm harshly, she shrieked.

"What the fuck were you doing here huh. Do you even know what you have done" Abhishek shouted at her "Just because of your stupidity that motherfucker ran away" He left her arm and started rubbing his face with his palm. Arohi was just standing there, shocked and scared.

"I was just trying to save the man. I didn't have any idea that he would do something like that" she said in a low voice. Abhishek glared at her, which was enough for her to shut herself.

"Leave now before I do something that I shouldn't do" Abhishek said angrily. Arohi shivered listening to his angry voice, and decided to leave.

She despised him for his behavior. Instead of asking if she was okay he decided to shout at her and blame her. She just wanted to do something good, but she didn't know that the situation would turn out like this.

On the other hand, Abhishek was furious on seeing Arohi and then the man ran away. He was so angry on her for her stupidity. "What the fuck was the need to come in between. Stupid girl" He groaned. He just returned from Germany, when he got a call that they have caught the man. He went straight to the location. He was tired of the journey and he needed rest.

Arohi came back to her hostel room and laid down on her bed. Shrugging whatever happened she slept. Abhishek went back to his home after calming his anger.

----------------------------------------------------------

Abhishek entered his house. Everyone were sitting in the hall. Triloknath, Suket and Bhavna as Ashika was doing her ranting about everything happening at school, while laying on her mother's lap.

"Bhai! Did you bring my gifts" Ashika shouted in excitement seeing Abhishek and ran to hug him. Nah she ran to get her gifts. Abhishek chuckled at his sister.

Abhishek hugged everyone and sat on the sofa. A servant brought water for him, he took it and gulped it down.

"How was the meeting young man" asked Triloknath. "It was good dadu. The deal is done. I have completed most of the work, only some paper works are left" he replied.

"Oh god no business talks. Bhai what did you get for me from Germany" Ashika said irritated by her brother's behaviour.

"Oh god Ashu again? Why is it necessary to bring something all the time? I didn't get anything for you this time" he said playfully knowing his sister's reaction.

"WHATTTT?" Ashika shouted in horror, "Dadu see bhai didn't bring anything for me. He had promised me that he would bring gifts for me" Ashika started complaining about her brother to Triloknath, he listened to her carefully. "I don't care go back and bring gifts for me" she almost cried.

"Oh god Ashu stop crying and Abhi why did you not get gifts for my princess " Suket said scolding her. Bhvana shook her head at them and Triloknath controlled his laugh.

"Ashu do you really think that I will go somewhere and won't bring gifts for you huh? I don't have an early death with" Abhi said hugging his sister "Go get it, it's in my suitcase" Ashika got happy and ran to get her gifts.

Abhishek bought her chocolates, dresses, makeups, and so on. He also bought a shirt for his father, a necklace for his mother and a watch for his grandfather. Bhavna kissed her son's forehead for his thoughtful nature. Whenever he goes out he gets something or the other for his family, especially for his baby sister.

He laid down on his mother's lap. When Suket said, "We want to tell you something Abhi"

"I am all ears dad" he said still laying. Suket asked Triloknath for his permission, and he nodded to continue.

"We have decided.........
