HAPPY READING!

"We have decided that it's high time, you should get married" Abhishek just hummed, sensing his mood his mother continued "Abhi you know na we have been delaying your marriage fro so long. We have chosen Mr. Singhal's daughter Arohi for you" hearing this Abhishek got up with a jerk.

"WHATTTTT, are you hearing yourself mom? Are you guys out of your mind?" He shouted getting up from the couch. He was horrified at the thought of marrying a girl who is so younger than him.

"Behave Abhishek!" came his father's stern voice, he said a sorry. "We know what we are saying. I too think that Arohi is a suitable match for you and for this family" Suket further added.

"God dad are you serious" he scoffed "Dadu what is all this, please tell me that you don't think the same" he said looking at Triloknath, who was silently sitting on the couch.

"Yes Abhi, I think the same" he said with a stern expression.

"No way. This is impossibe" he shouted, "Guys I am not going to marry a girl who is almost 8 years you her than me. She is not fit to be my wife" he said in anger

"Abhi she is such a sweet girl and she is beautiful as well. If age is the issue then Abhi age is just a factor" his father said trying to put some sense into his head.

"I said no and this is my final decision" stating he left for his penthouse in anger.

"Abhi... " Bhavna tried to stop him but little did she knew the reason behind his anger.

.

The little encounter with Arohi in that park made Abhishek loose his mind. Coming home and hearing about her made him more furious. He didn't want to create more scene so he left for his penthouse to keep himself sane.

Next Morning

Arohi walked out of her university after back to back classes. Suddenly her phone went off with an unknown number.

"Hello. Who is this?" She asked picking up the call.

"Hello Arohi. I am Triloknath Mehra. How are you?" she was stunned listening the name

"Namaste dadaji. I am good, how are you?"

"I am fine beta. I was wondering if I could meet you today"

"Um is everything okay dadaji?"

"Yes beta it is good. I just want to have a word with you. Will you come to meet me?"

"Sure dadaji I will come. I am just leaving college you just tell me the address, I will be there"

"Thank you beta, I will text you the address"

The hung up the call and Arohi got the address. She took an auto and went to the given address.

She reached the cafe and went inside. She spotted Triloknath and went towards him. She bend down to touch the feet of the person.

He gave her blessings. "How are you beta?" he asked smiling at her.

"I am fine dadaji. How are you and others" she said with a warm smile.

"Everyone is good. But not me.." he said with a frown.

"Why what happened dadaji? You look worried. You can share with me if you are comfortable" she said. "I am sure the reason behind your problem must be that Abhishek Mehra" she thought.

"That is why I called you here" Arohi nodded and settled down.

The waiter came to take their order, "One classic hot coffee for me. What would you like to have dadaji?" She asked Triloknath "A chocolate muffin" waiter nodded and left.

Arohi was shocked to hear his order, he looked and her and with a chuckle said "Bhavna doesn't let me have sweets because of my sugar. So whenever I get a chance I like to have it"

"That's not right dadaji. You shouldn't eat sweets secretly" she said. "Sometimes it's fair" he said.

"No it isn't dadaji. There must be a reason that Bhavna aunty refuses you to eat sweets. You shouldn't break rules" she said as if scolding him. Triloknath was looking at her in wonder. The girl who barely knows him is concerned about his health and is scolding him, for what? Just for eating a sweet. He mentally chuckled. Now he was sure about his decision of choosing her for his grandson.

"Okay okay I won't do it again but let me have it this time" he said with a laugh. She just nodded with a smile and mumbled a small apology for her behavior.

"You said that you wanted to talk to me, what is it?"

"Arohi I think you already have an idea whatI want to talk to you. See beta have always wanted my Abhi to marry a simple girl from my hometown. That day when I met you, I liked you instantly, so did my family" he continued "You are just the way I want my Abhi's wife to be. You know how to respect others and love your loved ones. I want you to be a part of our family and Abhi's life" he said while keeping his hand on her head with a smile.

"Thank you so much dadaji that you thought that I am worthy to be a part of your family. But I don't think it is a good idea of binding me and your grandson in a bond of marriage" she said keeping her head low.

"And why do you think like that? Did Abhi do anything or say something to you?" he shot the questions to her.

"No dadaji he didn't do anything. It's just that I am just 19 and right now I just want to focus on my studies and my career" Arohi just wanted to run away from this Mehra family. As last night was still fresh in her mind.

"That is not an issue beta. We have no problem in you continuing your studies. In fact we will be happy to see your success" he assured her "I know your real reason Arohi. I know you are thinking about the age gap between you two. I assure you that you will get all the happiness all the love as Abhishek and Ashika, maybe more" he explained her silently, trying to convince her.

"Please think about it beta" he mumbled further.

"Umm dadaji I think I should leave, I am getting late for my work" she just wanted to escape now.

Triloknath chuckled "It's okay beta. But I would be very happy if you will be a part of our family. Just think about this old man. I want to see my grandson married and the face of my great-grandchildren" he tried to emotionally blackmail her. Then after sometime they left.
