"Hello GE...I am SHRAVAN MALHOTRA" shravan said while forwarding his hand for handshake
"Hi GE...I am Suman...SUMAN TIWARI" suman greeted him back and glanced to her watch
shravan noticed her "Ohh haan sorry i am lil bit late" he shrugged
"Ahh...that's Okay" suman said sarcastically
"Are hum logo ko kaunsi train pakadani hai, hum log bhi bas abhi hi aaye hai" nanu laughed as he cracked a big joke ramnath and nirmala also joined
"you will prefer tea correct" shravan turned his face and tried to call waiter
"No no i will take coffee" suman retorted
shravan in mind "ohh coffee but now i need to order tea"
"See our basic choices are so different hai na?...i mean i will have tea" he said and faced her
"Yes...mein bhi yahi bolne wali thi abhi" she said amusingly
"Oh sorry ha please don't mind but i don't like typical indian girl means this behanji types kurti and all" he said softly pointing towards her kurti
"Ya ya, sorry don't mind but i also don't like champu types guys means typical coat and all who will wear this for informal coffee meeting means i cant tolerate this kind of guys at all" said fumed suman and pointed her hand toward his coat
He lifted an eyebrow and gave her appealing look "So rejected correct?"
"Of course.." she consent and her whole face lit up
He flung his hands on table in excitement and both tried to get up when shravan noticed their parents have watch on them "Ek min ek min...hum logo ko yahi baithana hoga thodi der aur" he settled down again on his sit suman also followed suit
"What happened?" asked amused suman
Shravan secretly pointed his finger to their parents table, suman glanced to the side of this finger "Oh ya ya got it parents aaye hai na hum logoke" she said mischievously, settle back on her chair
"Ha na" he said while glancing their parents who was continuously monitoring them
"Kya hain na first time aisa hua hai ki mein aise meeting ke liye aayi aur nanu mere sath aaye hai...thoda odd lag raha hai" she said awkwardly
"Ohh achha...mere maa papa to mere sath hamesha aate hai" He said sarcastically
"Really?"
"Obiviously joke tha" he smirked "Ha ha ha" she gave unconvincing weird smile
"Woh kya hai na ki hum logo ne bina baat kiye meine aapko reject kiya aise mein nahi bata sakta na unhe" he said casually
she nodded "Hmm..." and suddenly she realize what he said "Excuse me apne muze nahi meine aapko reject kiya hai" she quipped
"Woh Kuch bhi ho" she tried to cut him but he continued "woh imp nahi hai imp yeh hai ki hum logo ne ek dusare ko reject kiya hai correct"
"yes" she accepted "So ye hum log aise suddenly jake un logoko nahi bata sakate na they need some time to accept it" he suggested
"Ya correct they need time" she nodded "Ese kahate hai generation gap, means they never understand that decisions can be taken so fastly" she said quizzically
"Correct" he nodded in affirmation
Both are confused that what to say next and looking here and there. Suman massaged nanu to stop staring at them
He take one tissue and write something on it meanwhile suman gestured nanu to check his mobile
Shravan notices "What happen?" and passed tissue to suman with triumphant smile
"Please ektak hum logo ki taraf mat dekhiye...aisa ladkine message kiya hai" nanu declared looking toward nirmala and ramnath
Both snapped toward nanu with flushed faces
Suman read out with curiosity "65...ye kya hai?"
"You are the 65th girl i am rejecting" shravan said slyly
she glowered at him and coolly put it on table
"You are the 74th" said suman nonchalantly
"What???" astonished shravan asked
"73..."screamed nirmala almost jumping from her chair in amazement, ramnath asked her to calm down
"Ye kya bol rahe ho tiwariji" wide-eyed nirmala asked
"Sahi kah raha hu beta...73 ladko ko napasand kiya hai meri suman ne" nanu sadly shook his head in dismay
"Humare shravan ka record koi todega aisa laga nahi tha khabhi sapne me bhi hum logo ko" ramnath said quizzically
"Kya hua aise chilla q rahe ho surprise ho gaye kya kisiko apana record todate dekh" said suman while taking sip of her coffee and raised one of her eyebrow
"Hmm...no no nothing like that" agitated shravan said which makes suman's lips slightly curved upward for smile which didn't went unnoticed by shravan
"Aj tak muze lag raha tha meine hi ladki dekhane ke sare records tode hai but she is two steps ahead me impressed, but she is beautiful" thought shravan.
"He is handsome and well settled but ab tak esaki shadi nahi hui etani ladkiyon se milne ke baad bhi" amazed suman thought.
"I am not intrested in marriage specially with you" shravan said with poined look to suman pulling out from her thoughts
"No different feeling" said frowned suman "Wo to bus nanu ne etana insist kiya esliye hum log aaj mil rahe hai yaha"
"Esaka matlab aapki kahani hum logo se koi alag nahi hai" ramnath said letdownly "chaliye esi baat pe haath milate hai" forwarded hand to nanu and smiled sympathetically
Shravan and suman also handshake happily as this is the first time they are meeting someone in who is in same situation
"Bolati hai aapko chhod ke nahi jana hai aklauta nanu hu na usaka bahot pyar karti hai muzase" nanu said sardonically malhotra's just nodded sadly
"Usake maa baap hote na to shayad wo aisa nahi sochati aur karati" He continued
"Tumhe pata hai mere nanu ko marne ke sapne aate hai, woh marne wale hote hai aur mein aur preeti areee meri choti bahan hum log ro rahe hote hai" says amused suman
"Hahaha...Kya baat kar rahi ho mere dadi ko to yamraj milne aate hai" he said laughingly
"yamraj milne aate hai???" asked bug-eyed suman
"haan...hahaha" he said shaking with laughter
"Hamesha to 2-3 min me reject kar deta hai aaj kya ho gaya ese has bhi raha" nirmala stared SHRAMAN broodingly and ramnath and nanu also joined her
Suman glanced her watch "Strange hum log pure 9.5 min se baat kar rahe hai" in disbelief
"Really??" he also checked his watch "Are haan sachme"
"nahi...meri watch hamesha correct hoti hai" she said scoffingly, he just glanced her from corner of his eyes
"Muze lagta hai hum logon ko dikhane ke bas ye log etane waqt tak baat kar rahe hai...finally hona kya reject hi karna hai to ye natak kyu?" ramnath asked while staring shraman, nanu hummed
"Us din suman ka photo dekha laga tab muze laga tha yahi yahi ladki meri baahu banegi" said nirmala and stared suman dreamily
"Jaane do na nirmala etani baar naa sun chuke hai ek baar aur sahi...esi bahane mein tiwarijise mila etane salo baad ye kya kam hai" ramnath tries to cheer her
"Haan ye baat to hai ramnathji waise achha laga aapko milke...bahot din baat mil rahe hai...mere retirement ke baad kisi se milna julana kam kar diya hai meine"
"Yeh to sahi baat kahi aapne...bahot achha laga tiwariji aapse milke" nirmala said with sad smile
"Aapke shravan ke naseeb me koi aur hi hogi...etana samay lagraha hai matlab pakka waqt nikal rahe hai hum logo ko dikhane ke liye" and shook his head in dismay
"Are muze to lagta hai baat bhi nahi kar rahe honge wo dono humara shravan mahir hai en sabme" ramnath said and relaxed on his seat
"Humari suman bhi kuchh kam nahi hai" said nanu irritably
"Ab agar en logone sab pahalehi decide kar liya hai to aa jaye na kyu hum logo ko zuti aas dila rahe hai" nirmala said annoyingly
ShraMan came outside cafe and reached trio happily "Maa papa nanu hum logone decision le liya hai" shraman said and passed a meaningful glance to each other
Nanu stand up and started to leave "Nanaji Hum logoka kya decision hua hai wo sunke chale jaieye" shravan said suggestively to nanu
"Hum logo ko idea hai beta tum logo ka kya decision hua hai...hum log ready hai usake liye " ramnath said in disappointment
"Maa Papa and Nanu we are ready for marriage" shraMan said in Unison with broad smile...leaving Ramnath, Nirmala and Nanu dumbfounded.
Nanu stumbled on chair and overexcited ramnath and nirmala jump up from their seats.
"Sach me beta?" nirmala asked jubilantly, she caressed shravan's chick and happy tears shimmered in her eyes
SHRAMAN gazed each other and stared to their parents with wide eyes
"Beta es umar me muzase majak bardasht nahi hoga heart attack aa jayega muze" nanu said and kept his left hand on his heart trying to calm down his heart beats
"Hum sach bol rahe..."SHRAMAN said in unison, shravan gestured her to go ahead and sealed his lips
"Nanu hum log sach kah rahe hai hum logo ko ye shadi majur hai" suman declared radiantly
"Haan maa papa we are really set for this marriage" shravan declared happily
Nirmala and ramnath reached suman and Nanu walk to shravan. Both took blessings from them
"Meine jab tumahara photo dekha tha tabhi muze pata tha ki tumhi meri bahu banogi" nirmala kissed sumans forhead and hugged and ramnath caresses sumans head
Nanu and ramnath happily hugged and congratulated each other

Malhotra mension
Kamini apprehensively pacing in kitchen while waiting for nirmala.
"Mummyji aap ye tension me up and doun, up and down kyu kar rahi hai?" vandy asked by moving her eyes from left to right in kamini's direction
Kamini open her mouth but heard nirmala's voice
"Kamini, vandy,saumya, lalaji varun, pushkar kaha ho tum sab log?"
Kamini scuttled to living room followed by vandy, saumya, varun, lalaji and pushkar also joined them in living room.
"Kamalji aap please maaji ko bahar le aayenge jaldi" Niemala feverishly requested kamal, soon sumitra also joined all family members
"Are badi maa ab to bataieye kya baat hai etana suspense meri chotisi jaan nahi sambhal paa rahi hai" pushkar said humorously
"Are kya hoga pushkar hamesha ki ke tarah na hi hoga aur kya...ab hum logo ko asha hi nahi karni chahiye" sumitra said dolefully
"Are maaji nahi apane shravan ne haan kahi hai use suman pasand aayi...achhese baat chit karke dono ne faisala liya hai" nirmala announced happily
sumitra's eyes twinkled "sachi?? shravan mere paas aa" spreaded her hands in air, shravan walked to her and hugged her, coming out from hug she cupped his face and placed a soft kiss on his forehead
"Badhai ho didi finally aap sas banengi..." says overjoyed kamini and hugged nirmala
Shravan smiled beatifically "Ab to aap khush hai na dadi" and glanced to all family members "Ab to koi muzase naraj nahi hai na, no maun wrat at all correct?"
"Ha ha beta hum log bahot khush hai...achha hua tumane shadike liye haan kah di nahi ti didi to pata nahi kya kya soch rahi thi" kamini gazed nirmala mischievously
nirmala realized her intention and pressed her left hand to kamini's right and gestured her to keep quite putting her index finger on her lips pleadingly
"Matlab chachi...kya socha aapne logo ne maa?" shravan asked quizzically
"Are kuchh nahi beta chodo na tum wo hum devarani jethani ke bich ki baat hai" she gave a once-over to nirmala and responded, shravan rolled his eyes and hummed
Lalaji walked to ramnath and hugged him "Bhaisahab badhai ho mein aaj bahot khush hu mein akhirkar humare bete ne haan kar hi di shadi ke liye" with broad smile
"Haan lala sachme aaj muze mere betene sabse badi khushi di hai" pleased ramnath says while responding to hug and glanced shravan with smile
varun gave him side hug and pointed toward ramnath and lalaji "Finally shravan tu hum logo ke list me aa hi gaya badhai ho...ready shadi ka laddoo khane ke liye mere bhai?"
shravan scratched his head back falteringly and nodded
"Are soniyo makhana di doliye aise sukhe sukhe badhai de rahi ho sabka muh mitha karo bhai" lalaji asked kamini
"haanji haan bilkul enna bada khushi la mauka hai abhi layi" exhilarated kamini said
"ahh...Are mummyji aap rukiye mein sabke liye special sweets leke aati hu es special occasion ke liye" varun nodded and vandy whipped to kitchen
"Thank you sooo much bhiayya" pushkar gave quick hug to shravan with his colgate smile shravan stared his unbelievable brother in bewilderment
"Are bhaiyya aise kyu dekh rahe ho...are aapne shadike liye haan kahi hai means aapki shadi hogi tabhi to na mera number aayega, muze to laga tha ki aapke chakkar mein bhi kahi bramhachari na ban jau" continued dramatically joined his hand together to his forehead and earned most needed whack from his brother as reward
Everyone busted in laughter and settled down in living room, but shravan noticed that there are pair of eyes who keenly monitoring him
Vandy came with sweets and served to all, "Mummyji mein to bahot sari shopping karungi kitane sare functions honge na wow, kitani sari taiyyari bhi karani hai hum logo ko" vandy said and settled down beside kamini
"Haan didi hum log ko na dhire dhire sari taiyyariya shuru karni padegi...aapne panditji se baat ki?"
"Haan nirmala tum ek kaam karo kal sabere sabse pahale panditji se baat karo aur unhe ghar bula lo engagement aur shadi ki date fix karne ke liye" sumitra ordered
"Ji maaji aur hum logo ko roka bhi to karna hai na suman ka...usake baare me bhi puchana padega" says nirmala
"Ek min maa dadi muze aap sabse ek bahot imp baat karani hai" Shravan stared all, suddenly terror overtook everyone's face and all gazed him questioningly holding their breaths
Shravan sensed that and rolled his eyes "Are etana tension mat lijiye aap log...mein shadi se mana nahi karnewala hu...please" tries to lighten environment
Everyone relaxed "to fir kya baat hai beta...tune to hum logoki jaan hi nikal di thi" asked panicked nirmala
"Actually hum logo ne means meine aur suman ne decide kiya hai ki hum logo ko simple shadi chahiye so hum log court marriage karenge no tamzam and all" he proclaimed
Nirmala open her moth in objection but sumitra assuredly gestured her be quiet she will take care of this and nirmala concurred with her MIL
-------------------------------------------------
"Shravan are you sure about this alliance, means parso tumane muze gharwalo se baat karne kaha tha ki u r not ready for marriage and to you agreed to it?" saumya sked shravan doubtfully who came to her room when everyone retired from living room
Shravan just gazed her "Tumne sab soch samaz ke to decision liya hai hai na...muze aisa kyu lag raha hai there is something fishy in this" she gave him tight-lipped smile
"Are nahi bua aisi koi baat nahi hai, we both discussed and took this decision". shravan said while pressing her hands reassuringly
"Then this is a great news congratulations!!!...i was just concerned, i don't want you to suffer from the same i faced"
"Bua but i am feeling guilty...can you see our family members how they are behaving...like by saying yes for marriage i gave them most precious gift, means mere ek haan se unhe etani khushi mili hai, feeling that i was unfair to them till now" he said sheepishly
"Don't think like that shravan...u don't have any reason to feel guilty...u was waiting for perfect life partner and now u get that...just enjoy this phase u can reminisced many moments for rest of your life" saumya assured him
He slack off "Thank you bua...i always feel relaxed after talking to you...good night"
"You are most welcome dear good night"
--------------------------------------------------
Suman was trying hard to let sleep consume her from last 1 hour to but all in vain still stayed wide awake tossing from side to side in her bed. This thought of marriage never left her mind since she reached home.
When they reached home nanu informed preeti about her decision, both were on cloude nine she never imagined in her wildest thought that nanu will be so much happy when she will be ready for marriage.
Ohh got this over dramatic people and their imagination was already reached to the wedding day like what will be the venue, what will be date and all how she gonna endure them till marriage. But when she announced that they will opt for register marriage sadness clouded their excitement and from there on new mission started
"Convince SUMO for BIG FAT Wedding"
She shook her head in disbelief, finally got out from the bed and went to her study table and sat on chair by taking paper and pen in hand.
There was no difference in shravan's state too, who will elucidate his family members that they are going for court marriage so no need of this preparations. He knew his family members in and out so he decided to keep mum for now atleast, corners of his mouth turned up and got out from bed. He took pen and paper settled on his bed.
Both tried permutations and combinations of their names after marriage for long time
- Mrs.Suman Shravan malhotra
- Mrs Suman Malhotra
- Mrs Shravan Malhotra
and whatever is possible but at end both strike off others name saying no need to affix anyone's name in their identity but finally decided "Mrs. Suman Shravan Malhotra" is the best one. Both lays down on their beds and slowly sleep consumed them.
----------------------------------------------------
Next day nanu reached suman's office with sweets to thanked Ghosla
"Ghoslaji mein aapka shukriya kaise karu samaz me nahi aa raha hai...aaj apki wajah se meri suman ka rishta pakka hua hai, lijiye muh mitha kariye" forwarded box of sweets to ghosala
"Matlab tiwariji suman ne shadi ke liye haan kah di badhai ho...lekin mere wajase kaise?" perplexed ghosala asked
"Are wo aapne jo panditji bole the na trivediji unhone hi to bheja hai ye rishta"
"Kya aise kaise ho sakta hai meine to suman ka photo unako diya hi nahi ye dekhiye yahi hai envolope aaj jane wala tha mein unake yaha" ghosala smiled and opened envelope in amusement
He gazed documents and looked at nanu "are ye to koi papers hai lekin es envelope me to suman ka photo aur kundali rakhi thi kaha gayi"
"lekin aise kaise ho sakta hai?" nanu looked ghosla perplexingly
Ghosla removes his wig and massaged his head while thinking about this replacement, nanu found it very funny but somehow suppressed his laugh
"Are jaane dijiyena tiwatiji jo bhi ho suman ne shadi ke liye haan kah di na wo sabse imp hai" he took sweet with grin and wiped off confusion from his mind
"Are haan ye sahi baat hai kaise bhi kyu na ho suman ki shadi tay ho gayi wahi jaroori hai mere liye, aap ye mithai sab me batwa dijiye mein niklata hu ab ijazat dijiye" nanu smiled beatifically and leaves from office
After nanu leaves office Ghosla breaks suman's marriage news to all employees and gives sweets to all, all congratulated her butshe got irritated on ghosla's act.
--------------------------------------------------------------
afternoon malhotra house
All malhotra ladies were chit chatting in sumitra's room
"Are nirmala apane bahu se kab milwaogi bhai jara hum bhi to dekhe akhir hai kaisi tumhari honewali bahu jo humare lad sahab ne etani ladkiyonko mana karne ke baad ese chuna hai" sumitra teased nirmala
"Are maaji aap bhi na... ek kaam karti hu mein abhi tiwarijiko call karati hu un logoko aaj dinner pe invite karati hu, sab mil lenge suman se aur wo bhi sab se mil legi" exhilarated nirmala suggested
"Haan badi maa muze bhi milna hai apane dewarani se use mein apane sath shopping ke liye bhi le jaungi, i will enjoy a lot" vandy chirped
Sumitra consent to nirmala, nirmala then called tiwari house and invited them for dinner saying sumitra wants to meet suman , also asked them to reach in evening only so that they can spend some time with all. After call nirmala left with kamini and vandy for preparation.
Nanu called suman and informed her about dinner with malhotra's and asks her to come home early as they need to reach in evening itself. Suman detested idea first because he acquiesced to malhotra's without discussing with her availability but then after lot of bicker accepted when nanu said he will talk to ghosla about half day leave for her and she left with no option
Shravan has no idea what his family have planned for evening as he was totally busy in some of his imp cases hearings and it seems he need to work till late in night today in one of his clients office. Nirmala called in noon but since he was in middle of hearing he overlooked it
Ramnath informed nirmala about shravan and said he may not join them today.
------------------------------------------------
In Evening, Suman, Nanu reached malhotra house in sumo's jaan, she parked her car and both entered main gate and stopped in midway
"Nanu ek min mein shravan ko call karati hu batati hu hum log pohach gaye hai" nanu noded and she dialed his number
"Haan kon bol raha hai?" shravan inquired
"Are na hi na hello aise kaun batt karta hai, btw mein suman...suman tiwari baat kar rahi hu" suman snapped
"Mein aise hi baat karta hu, if u says suman then also i can recognize you, bolo kya kaam tha?"
"How rude meine ye batane ke liye call kiya tha ke hum log tumhare yaha pohach gaye hai, are you at home?"
suddenly he remembers that in their meeting he didn't informed her about his big family and stumbled "Ek min suman sorry meine tumhe bataya nahi mere family ke baare me"
"Kya matlab?"
"Are meri family, means there is big population in my house"
"Kya shravan polution"
"Are nahi nahi population population" he repeated last word but bad luck his phone is dead, he stared his phone tapped his forehead with phone "Wrong timing", he wanted to leave for home but he cant leave in between one of the most imp clients meeting, he sighed and continued with meeting
"Are kya hua beta sab kuch thik to hai na shravan hai na ghar pe?"
"Pata nahi nanu woh kuch polution polution bol raha tha don't know?" she shrugged
She thought about their conversation for moment but then cleared her mind and continued
"Nanu kuch jyada hi bada ghar nahi hai 4 logo ke liye" suman stared big Malhotra house in amusement
"Are beta 4 nahi 5 logo ke liye bhi kuchh jyadahi bada hai" nanu shrugged bemused suman stared him back
"Are beta tere sas, sasur , unaki mataji, tum aur shravan, 5 log hue na" nanu cleared her perplexity
They stared and suddenly eti reached them and hugged suman, suman bend down and took bundle of joy in her arms.
Eti pecked her chick swiftly suman rolled her eyes "Chachiii...welcome to home" eti said radiantly and encircled her small hands around sumans neck.
Suman smiled and gaped nanu quizzically gesturing "WHAT IS THIS?"
nanu shrugged and they continued but stopped again, ehan reached and introduced himself and welcomed them
"Beta aap bhi es ghar me rahate ho?" bug-eyed suman inquired
"Yes chachi, mein aur eti yahi rahate hai?" ehan answered pointing toward eti in her arms
"Eti chal hum log sabko batate hai come fast" ehan zoomed inside home, eti hastily get down and followed him
"Nanu ye log bhi yahi rahate hai" sumans eyes widened and stared back to nanu
"Are thik hai na beta 4 aur log jyada problem nahi hai chal andar chale ya yahi khade rahenge" nanu started walking toward main door
They entered living room, thanks to eti and ehan everyone was already present there.
Ramnath came forward and welcomed duo and asked them to settle down.
All settled down in living room "Sorry tiwariji mein to bhul hi gaya, mein sabki pahachan karake deta hu" ramnath said while sitting beside nanu
Ramnath introduced everyone leaving suman and nanu flabbergasted, Everyone took nanu's blessing.
"beta aise ghur mat ankhe bahar aa jayegi, aur jao sab bado ka ashirwad lo" nanu whispered in her ear, suman gasped and stared nanu he pleaded her with eyes
Suman walked to sumitra, took blessing and fumbled, pushkar smiled and glanced nirmala mischievously, nirmala rolled her eyes and shows palm to him to keep quite.
Suman made her headway toward ramnath "Are beta nahi sabko pranam karne ki jarrorat nahi hai maaji ko kar liya bas kafi hai hum sob logo ka ashirwad mil gaya samazo" nirmala concealed
She gave shamefaced smile to nirmala and settled down on her seat.
"are bhabhi dont worry ye to sirf trailer hai picture abhi baki hai aur 20-25 log aane baki hai aap etanemehi dar gayi" suman hauntedly stared pushkar and he noded and gave her deadpan expression
Suddenly he breakdown into laugher...
oh god who will control this brute!!!
nirmala whack him on his biscep and everyone busted in laughter, suman was feeling hell embarrassed
"Are aap sab bhi na vandy beta jao apani dewarani ko pura ghar dikhao"
"Ji badi maa...chalo suman tumhe tumhara naya ghar dikhati hu" vandy almost dragged her
"Chalo kamini hum log jara chai nashte ka dekhate hai" nirmala and kamini headed to kichen
Vandy showed off whole house and finally they stepped inside shravan's room "Ye dekho suman shravan ka room, shadi ke baad bhi tum logo ka yahi room hoga"
Suman scrutinized whole room and her eyes fixed on yellow hanging sport car on wall, she pointed toward car and stare it in amusement
"Are ye, shravan is so much fascinated by cars so here he have one"
"are kya baatein ho rahi devrani jethani me?" nirmala entered room with tray of snacks and coffee
"are kuchh nahi badi maa suman ko usake would ke baare me bata rahi thi" vandy winked to suman
"Hmm...achhi baat hai suman beta aao baitho" nirmala put tray on table and settled on couch, suman setlled down beside her
Nirmala handed cup of coffee to suman "badi maa mein niche jaati hu mummyji akele hongi aap baatein kariye" nirmala nodded and vandy left room
"To kaisa laga ghar, tumhe es room me koi changes karne honge to shravan se baat karke decide kar lena shadi se pahale sab kaam khatam karna hoga"
"Ji aunty" she sipped her coffee
"Beta apana haath dena to" suman forwarded her hand and nirmala slid one beautiful gold kangan embossed with some diamonds in it
"Ye maaji ne muze diya tha jab wo muzase pahali baar mili thi aur kaha tha ki yeh meri raksha karega, tabse leke aaj tak yeh mere haath me hai lekin aaj ye tumhe de rahi hu aajke baad yeh tumhari raksha karega" nirmala caressed her chick lovingly, tears shimmered in nirmala's eyes
"Pata hai meine jab tumhra photo dekha na tabhi tum muze bahot pasand aayi...aajtak muze beti ki kami khalati thi lekin tumane wo kami puri kar di beta" nirmala kissed her forehead
"Thank you aunty"
"Ab aunty nahi maa bolo muze"
"Ji aunty" suman bit her tounge "sorry maa"
Suman and nanu left after dinner.
-------------------
In night tiwari killa
Suman entered nanu's room with medicines "Nanu chaliye apani medicined le lijiye"
"Haan de" she forwarded medicined and water and he gulped down
"Nanu muze aapse baat karni hai"
"Haan bol na beta"
"Nanu ye shadi nahi ho sakati" she got up and folded her hands to chest "nahi nanu un logone hum logo ko fasaya hai, hum logo ko kaha pata tha us ghar me ethane log rahate hai mein etane logoke sath nahi rah sakati hu...shravan ne kuch nahi bataya tha es bareme aur jab hum log unake yaha gaye to pata nahi kaha chip ke baitha tha, muze usaka behavior bilkul pasand nahi aaya nanu"
"Yeh kya kah rahi ho suman...aise thodi na hota hai..tumhari shadi fix ho chuki hai aise kaise tum mana kar sakati ho...hum log aaj unase milake aaye hai" he glowered her
"Nanu come on ek baar mile hai sirf hum un logo se...etana kucch nahi aur bad me pachatanese accha yahi thik hai" she raged
"Are beta lekin kitane achhe log hai...kitani asha hai unhe es rishtese kya hoga unaka"
"To mera kya nanu...nahi etane logoke bichme mein nahi rah sakati hu bas"
"Are beta jyada log rahate ghar me to achha hai na, tum kabhi akela mahsoon nahi karogi us ghar me"nanu tried to convince her
"Nanu please aap muze convince karne ki koshish mat kariye...mein manati hu ki woh log bahot achhe hai ghar bhi bahot bada hai lekin etane achhe bade ghar me mein adjust nahi ho sakati, meine final decision le liya hai yeh shadi nahi ho sakati" she declared and left room without giving nanu any other chance to convince her
-------------------------
Shravan reached home late, nirmala served him dinner and recited tiwari's visit, he finished his dinner and retired to his room
"Muze suman ko phone karna chahiye she must be worried" he took his phone "lekin bahot late ho gaya hai, dekhata hu ek baar call karke agar jagi hogi to utha legi" he dialed her number
"Hello" suman responded
"Hi, hey i am really sorry, aaj mein nahi aa paya actually i was really busy in some imp case meetings...can we meet once again?"
"Nahi muze nahi lagta hai usaki koi jaroorat hai" she fumed, but shravan didn't perceived that and casually nodded
"Kya hai na etane log hai ghar me ye meine imagine bhi nahi kya tha, you should have told me before but its okay now because i am breaking this alliance"
he awestruck by her proclamation "Good bye" she hang up call
Suman was seething in anger, she took glass of water and her eyes went to the kangan which nirmala gave her, phone ringed
"Hello kya kaam hai ab bolo" she answered in full attitude
"Enough is enough MISS SUMAN TIWARI, if you want to break this alliance you can happily do that but before that hear me out first" suman taken aback because of his sudden outburst
he continued "Meine apane family ke baare me intentionally nahi chupaya bas nahi bataya because we never discussed that point this is first, and second and most imp generally log apani weakness chupate hain apani strengths nahi Miss TIWARI and my family is my strength, my ego, my pride, esiliye aaj tak meine apane family ke baare me kisise chupaya nahi aur chupane ki jaroorat bhi nahi, i cant hear a single word against my family understood" he glowered, she was trying to open her mouth but cut by him
she rolled her eyes "They are the sole reason of my existence, and now i am breaking this marriage" he hanged up and throws away the phone angrily on bed.
"If someone is destined to be with you, nothing can keep them away; if not, nothing can make them stay."
