Hello everyone

I am deeply deeply sorry I was MIA. Everyone at home was sick😭 one after another, and there was a giant work issue I was dealing with that almost gave me anxiety.

I was too exhausted to write or even think...

If any one is interested in reading this story, I can absolutely continue

Do let me know

I hope all is well with everyone

Much love

Nisha so glad to see you back. Sorry was a little busy and just saw this. Hope all’s good now? More than the story I guess we missed your presence. Of course would read anything you write 😂

Hey what a comeback Nisha..!

I was out for a couple of days and they are already getting married.. yaay

🥳

“I will"

“You must be joking” Gopal Munjal answered his phone at 4 AM

“No I am not”

“Marrying for real?” he sat up in bed in shock

Sumedha sat up too

“WHO is getting married, US se hai kya?” as like many families, most of the couple’s relatives were there or in Europe

“No PRADYUT” Gopal got off the bed in shock

“What happened?” she almost fell off the bed

He sprinted around to almost grab her, she dragged a blanket and slumped

“HE is fine… utho… he wants to get married”

She stood up overjoyed “He has been SEEING someone?”

“Don’t know” Gopal listened

“Put it on speaker Gopal” she shrieked

He did

Her son’s deep calm voice came through

“So I don’t think we can go that route, we cant be.. Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPAS) is not as seamless as you think”

“PRADYUT…. SHAADI kar rahe ho”

“Hmm”

“HMMMMMMMMMMMM? HMMMMMMM? Kis se?”

“Can you guys fly out? I am hoping to get married AT 8 am

“KAL?”

“Aaj” Gopal almost chuckled

“AAAAJ? KIS SE?”

“Umm.. I just spoke to the girl I want to marry”

“SHE AGREED?”

“Thanks”he laughed

“Mera matlab… WHO is she” Sumedha cried happy tears

“Taruni…. Taruni Bhushan”

Sumedha was confused, the name sure did ring a bell

Gopal nodded grimly

“Tum USE SE shaadi kar rahe ho? WHY?”

“Because I want to” he said calmly

“What is this?”

“I just told you Ma”

“What is this” she hyperventilated

“OK… here is some context… I like someone… I like her… I mean, so…”

“To AAJ SUBAH 8 baje shaadi betaaa?”

“Umm.. the court appointment is at 10:45, if the judge orders demolition “

“What is going on?” Sumedha was sad

“Let me call you back, I need to catch her up” Gopal pacified her

“BTW can u make it by 8?”

“Umm.. does Veer know?”

“Yeah I just called Pia and let her know”

“SAB ja rahe hain?” Sumedha shrieked

“Shhhh… u will wake the help”

Gopal explained everything to her

She had to cry of course

This was not how she had envisioned her son’s wedding

She called him 30 minutes later, when she got out of the shower

“This is not a prank right?”

“No Ma”

“Does she know?”

He began to laugh heartily

“No I am not abducting her”

“Will you promise to cherish her?” she whispered tearfully

“I will” he said quietly

“Will you promise to cherish her?” she whispered tearfully

“I will” he said quietly

what more could I ask for 🥰.

Lovely 😊

Absolutely - for a MIL i say that is awesome. Pradyut is lucky to have both his parents support him.

Now I am curious how our lead lady is going to handle all this. She is going in with a mindset that this marriage is a business transaction. Will she see this love reveal as a bonus or a nuisance?

Full throttle

On the plane…Sumedha couldn’t controi herself, she lamented how this was not what she had hoped for her only son. She had seen him marrying a who’s who in society, and from announcement to honeymoon everything would be professionally curated and advertised

Gopal reassured her Pradyut’s lack of communication on this topic did not mean he wanted them out of his life

“Maybe he doesn’t want a big wedding, maybe he has been seeing her the last 5 months?”

“Pia what do u think?”

“Veer ko sab pata hai Ma… Veer told me a few days ago about what he thought of this girl”

“I don’t know their family, we are fighting a legal battle with them”

“Hes been saying NO for 5 years and then marries a woman he has taken to court” Gopal laughed

They all chuckled

“I love the Gurudwara though” Sumedha smiled a little cheerfully

“This must be the lowest attendance Munjal wedding on the planet”

“That’s fine… as long as I get to bring the sweet girl home”

Gopal smiled fondly

“U do love her?”

“If he likes her how can I hate her?”

Veer shifted uneasily

“We have to ask if she feels the same” he muttered dryly

The family froze and stared at him pensively…

“I am just saying, we need to see who it is what is going on” he smiled nervously

He looked out the window…

The other three looked at each other

“I want to be happy for Prad” Pia said quietly

They nodded in unison

“I mean the guy hasn’t dated any one after college I think…”

“Shaayad last time kisi ko ghar laaya hoga must be 5 or 7 years ago” Sumedha looked at Gopal

“I am wondering WHY he is tying the knot so quick” Gopal scratchd his head quite literally

“we know him Dad, he just goes full throttle” Pia laughed

They made peace with everything………… for now

Sumedha approached the person that seemed like Taruni’s Mum

They smiled nervously at each other

Pia reached for Nidhi Bhushan’s feet

“Arey nahi beta… don’t worry, I don’t believe in all that” Nidhi laughed nervously

“Namashkar main Pradyut ka Dad” Gopal smiled warmly

Tushar and Pallavi escorted the family to the back rooms of the Gurudwara

“Aunty khaana ghar par khaayenge aaj, sorry breakfast bhi” she laughed

Sumedha smiled first and then nodded

“Aapki shaadi yahi hui?”

“Nahi… umm.. Mum Dad ki… matlab, in laws”

Oh?” Sumedha looked around cheerfully

Soft tunes of the shabad wafted to their ears

“Umm.. aapki sister hai?”

“Jee nahi, my nanad.. my SIL, Tushar’s sister”

“Oh OK… thanks”

Pia and Pradyut were busy chatting with Veer

“Taruni abhi aati hai, friends to koi hai nahi ready karne ke liye, Tushar ne aaj subah chooda aur kalera ki shop open karawyi” Nidhi smiled

Gopal looked really awkward

“Excuse me” he walked out of the room

A young man brought chai for everyone

“Book shop hai hamara, waha Harkeeratji hain, unki wife Sukhdeep usko ready kar rahi hain”

“Oh… great” Sumedha smiled, relaxing a bit

“Aapko bhi ajeeb lag raha hoga, I do too.. I didn’t imagine Taru marrying like this” Nidhi tried not to cry

“Arey” Sumedha reached for a hug

Nidhi relaxed in her embrace and wept for a few seconds

“She was her Papa’s favorite, jaan dete the us par… abhi hai nahi unke paas kuch dene ko”

“Please don’t cry… I had dreams for my son’s wedding too”

The women exchanged somber meaningful looks

“You think this whole thing is a prank?” Nidhi gasped

“No… I don’t… No I Know… I know.. “I know my son” Sumedha sat down sighing

She sipped the tea quietly

“My daughter has been fighting your son, the last 6 months since Ajit Singh wanted to sell Zenith Astro”

Sumedha didn’t understand most of those details

“Did they settle their battle?”

“Nahi… aaj Judge demolition ka order dene waale hain” Nidhi looked devastated

“Is MY son buying the Zenith? Zenith Bookstore?”

“No… QUILL hai naam…”

Sumedha looked at her admiringly

“My husband was a voracious reader, he is gone… it was his store, she is trying to save it” Nidhi really cried now

They heard footsteps outside

It was Taruni, Sukhdeepji and her two daughters

To Sumedha Taruni looked like a vision

From two chapters ago:

The families were in shock… but Nidhi smiled nervously and reached for Sumedha Munjal.

“Mubarak ho” she whispered nervously

“Kitni sundar hai meri bahu” Sumedha whispered hugging her warmly

Taruni was unusually calm according to Nidhi

Sukhdeep darted a glance to let her know she will explain later. Taruni had thrown up and cried both before and after her shower.

Sukhdeep had forcefed her some chai, even though most brides are supposed to fast

The friends and family chatted, and Taruni was herded to the altar

She refused to have her ghunghat pulled down. She didn’t even dart a glance at Pradyut. But his gaze lingered on her. The prayers were read the pheras completed

Since Sumedha wanted Hindu customs blended in they stopped by at a Temple right after

The bride and groom rode separately to the astonishment of everyone

Back in Rajesh Bhushan’s home

As the couple were escorted inside neighbors on both sides and across stood in their balconies pretending to dry clothes and gawked

After the rituals the families and friends left the couple alone

“Are you going to ask Parashar for the papers?” she demanded

“Ive called him” he said looking straight into her eye

“Kareem Uncle will be here soon, he is stuck in traffic getting out of the Gurudwara, he had to stop by at a client’s”

“Got it”

“Should Ajit Singh be here?”

“Nope, hes out of the picture, Towers Partners owns the lot”

“Umm”

She looked at her hands… and began to interlock her fingers”

“I cannot go with you until the store has my Mum’s name” she said clearing her throat😈

“I cannot go with you until the store has my Mum’s name” she said clearing her throat

The guy is getting the taste of what he has got himself into.

He has long way to go before she even looks at him without thinking of anything but him destroying her fathers bookstore.

Another amazing name, Pradyut. Loved it.
