PART 8:
On that evening, whole Chaudary family is busy in making arrangements for the next day planned engagement function. Beeji is busy in checking and super-vising all the arrangements. Whoever coming in front of her having a very bad fate as she is very very tensed and focused that nothing should go wrong during the engagement function.
"Who asked you to decorate using this coloured curtains? Change the colour now... Oh god, the floor is full of dirt. Someone come here and clean it first. What if the guests see all this? What would they think? Donno why everything is falling under my sight?" she keep on murmuring and scolding whoever she saw her way...
Coming to garden, Dabbu and Meethi were playing chess sitting in the Swing... "oye Dabbu... Meethi... we here are all hell tensed with the engagement preparartions, and you both are playing here so cool huh? Go... go and help the elders"
"Ji Beeji..." said this, they escaped. "beeji... aap plz parishan math karo, everything would be alright tomorrow. Go and take rest now" said Madan seeing his worried mom.

"acha? If I take rest, then no work will be done and everyone will stop working" she replied. Also she added, " where is ur brother? He went office even today? Do he remember tomorrow is his daughter's engagement... Seems like it is my daughter's engagement tomorrow"
"Oh Beeji... I am here. I went to check the caterers whether the work is going properly or not. You don't leave a single chance to scold me huh?" said Mahesh with a smile.
"If u all are proper then why I should I scold u" said Beeji and her conversation with her both sons continued in checking about the preparations and arrangements.
Manvi watching everything going in garden from her Balcony and getting even more annoyed and worried. "Oh my god!!! People's behaviour would change when their age grows? Even I would become like this oldy when I become aged? Then Virat would hate me na? Oh no!!!" she mumbled. Suddenly she turned back hearing a sweet laughing sound... Who would it be? Obviously Virat it is...
"Manvi... what happened to you? You are becoming so strange these days..." he said unable to control his laughter.

"haan... I am carrying all the tensions alone and u r very happy? Laughing at me na?" she said with a fake anger. "oh... I am sorry" he said holding his ears bending down to her.
Removing his hands from his ears, " What can we do now to stop all this Virat? I really donno what to do... Please think something na. You are ready to engage me with Rahul? But I am not" she said while tears are forming in her eyes and her lips started to tremble in difficulty to speak the words.
He immediately pulled her into his embrance and hugged her tightly... he kissed her forhead and wiped her tears slowly.
"Manvi, what are you talking? You think I am enjoying all this? I just came here na... I never give you to someone at any cause and plzz fix it now into ur tiny brain. I love you Manvi... you are my life and you are my future" he said and hugged her back.
Suddenly she felt something and pushed him back... "arey... what happened?" he asked. "We are standing in my home and that too in balcony... If I caught in anyone's hand this way, they'll blend me with masala for tomorrow's recipes.
Their speech got distracted with Virat's phone call... "Manvi... Viren Bhai's call. I'll see u soon" said this, he moved out of the place.
"Viren Bhai... What to do now? Tomorrow beeji fixed Manvi's engagement with Rahul. Donno who is that chamchi impressed beeji very soon and I can't see some one putting ring in my Manvi's finger tomorrow. Soch for some idea na" said Virat expressing his tensions that he was holding on before Manvi...
"Arey Bhai... calm down. Mera bhai getting jealous for Manvi? Acha... but think cool we had very lil time and just now you entered her house with engagement on next day. And moreover it is not good to talk with chaudaries about ur love in this time. Let it happen and after this engagement we can talk to beeji about this... ok?" said Viren in the phone call.
"theek hai bhai... but Manvi is also worrying much. She won't accept Rahul to put ring in her hands I know... donno how we would face tomorrow" said Virat.
"You should be her support everytime Virat... don't leave her alone and make her to understand the situation and we'ld talk to her beeji after this engagement, once the guests in their home moved out" said Viren.
"ok Bhai... I'll try to handle this for now" said Virat and cut the call.
"But really Manvi... I can't see you with some one tomorrow... you are only mine and only I should love you the most" he said himself...

Next day... the day of engagement came. The chaudary's home is filled with guests around all the places except the room they gave for Virat. He came out of his room to see the noisy aura and thought, "Oh god!!! Is this home or some public event is taking place here?" he thought funnily.
He heard the gigling sound of girls and his head turned towards the direction... He saw some elderly women took his Manvi towards the living room and made her sit on the couch there. One of the lady says, "our Manvi is so lucky to have Rahul... I knew him before and he is the best boy for our girl"
She got annoyed hearing their words and sat there helplessly. Seeing this, Virat's face turned angrily thinking, "My Manvi is the best and someone should be needed to be deserved first to gain her love. And I am the most lucky person for my Manvi's love"

Beeji suddenly interrupted the lady saying, "Nahi... That Rahul is so lucky to have my pothi. She is the best and she is my pyari pothi..." said this she kissed Manvi's forehead and shouted, "Sheetal... bring some badam milk for Manvi. She needed to be energetic today and no one in this house knew this..."
Sheetal ma bought milk from the kitchen saying, "sorry beeji... I am just preparing this inside". After Sheetal ma gave milk to Manvi, "Manvi... you go to your room and drink it beta" said beeji. She took Manvi to a corner, "Manvi... why your face looking so pale? Didn't slept well yesterday night? Now drink this milk and rest for sometime... I should see my pothi very happy and beautiful in the engagement function evening. Ok?" said beeji and removed her nazar using her hands like all elder people do... Manvi is feeling Beeji's love for her and felt very happy to see this soft side of her beeji. From a corner, Virat thinks, "Beeji is looking rough from the outside and holding so much of love and care for Manvi and also for the entire family. Your family is very lucky to have her Manvi".
Before Manvi entering into her room, Virat pulled her hands and dragged her inside the room, close it from behind and all of a sudden her body was thudded on him. "Virat, I am having milk in my hands... what if it poured down?"

He pulled her close into his embrace and holded her waist tightly saying, "You are so much worried na Manvi? I am sorry... but plz understand, after this engagement function we can say about our love to beeji and to stop this marriage. If we say it this time, Beeji would be insulted before the guests and family friends right? We also should think of Beeji's respect behind others na?"

His words are always enough to soothe her anytime and she kept the milk aside in a table and encircled her arms around his neck... "haan Virat... you are always there to care for me but now I am really happy that you are thinking and caring about my family's wellness, my beeji's respect... thank you so much Virat. I love you" she said and kissed his cheeks and hugged him tightly than before.
