Nirmala Bharatwaj the eldest member of Bharatwaj family smiled looking at Jamanlal & Meena.
Rajender Bharatwaj the only son of Nirmala Bharatwaj followed his mother while Sujatha Bharatwaj, wife of Rajender bharatwaj followed her husband..
Jamanalal & Meena gave warm welcome to them and welcome to their house
Bharatwaj family members with a smile entered into the house and occupied the sofa.
Nirmala looked around well organised and decorated house..
Nirmala saw Jamanlal standing in front of them filled with tension
Nirmala: Jamanlalji, please be seated and there is no need for taking any sort of tension..
Jamanlal & Meena smiled.
Jamanlal sat in the chair while Meena stood behind him.
Meena: I will bring some water..
Meena went inside and returned with tray occupied with water filled glasses.
She served the water to all.
Meena then went inside to bring the sweet and snacks.
SHe returned with a try with 3 plates filled with 2 varieties of sweets and 2 varieties of snacks.
SHe served to Bharatwaj family members.
Nirmala: WHy you have taken all these pain?
Meena: WHat is there to take pain? Its our culture to welcome with sweets and snacks. You have come to our house for the first time. How can we let you empty stomach?
Nirmala: Well. We wish to see Roli.
Meena: Just bringing her in 2 minutes.
Meena went inside with a smile to bring Roli.
In a while Meena returned with Roli beside her walking towards Bharatwaj family members facing the floor out of shyness
Nirmala smiled looking at ROli with some sort of satisfaction.
She looked at her son and daughter in law.
Rajender & Sujatha too shared a smile as a reply.
Nirmala: Roli, please sit here.
Roli sat in the chair.
Nirmala: Roli no need to take any tension. Just feel relaxed.
Roli nod her head as acceptance.
Nirmala asked her few questions in general and ROli replied with due respect and politeness.
Nirmala liked ROli very much.
Nirmala looked at Sujatha again.
Sujatha too gave her acceptance through her eyes.
Nirmala: Jamanlalji, we like ROli very much.
Jamanlal: We are very happy about it.
Nirmala forwarded her hand with a cover to Jamanlal
Jamanlal took the cover from Nirmala.
Nirmala: Let me brief about my grandson. He is the only son of Rajender and SUjatha. He is doing his Post graduaton in US. He is returning in 15 days..
Jamanalal: Pandiji told about his details. We are very happy.
Nirmala: We thought of arranging his marriage once he return and checked his horoscope with pandit. He gave a shocking news stating he need to get married within this month otherwise his marriage will be delayed for 3 more years.
Jamanlal: Oh! Ok.
Nirmala: That is the reason i told Pandit to bring good alliance for him so that we can arrange his marriage within this month.
Jamanlal: But he is coming only after 15 days right. This month completes in 20 days.
Nirmala: Yes you are right. Also there is only 1 auspicious day within those 5 days and we need to arrange marriage on that day.
Jamanlal: You mean in 18days.
Nirmala: Yes. But dont worry about marriage arrangements. I will take care of everything. We only need your consent to accept this proposal seeing this photo of my grandson.
Jamanal looked at Meena
Jamanlal: But is it not required Roli & your grandson look and like each other.
Nirmala: I do accept. But there is no time right now. That is the reason i have given his photo to you. You all can see to it and give your consent.
Jamanlal: What about your grandson? Dont he expect to see Roli?
Nirmala: Actually. We are only going to tell about the marriage once he returns.
Jamanlal: Whether he will be ok for that?
Nirmala: Its not easy task. But we have faith that he will accept our decision.
Jamanlal: I wish to talk to my wife and Roli on this.
Nirmala: SUre.
Jamanlal took Meena & Roli inside.
Jamanlal: Meena what do you think?
Meena: Family is very good and people are also good. I dont feel anything bad in this
Jamanlal: Roli can you accept this marriage without seeing him.
Roli: Pappa, I believe you elders wont do any wrong to me. So its acceptable for me
Jamanlal: Ok. Lets see him in photo atleast.
Jamanlal took out the photo and looked at Siddhant.
Jamanlal: Roli, he looks handsome. Look at this photo.
Jamanlal showed the photo to Meena and Roli.
Meena: YOu are right. I believe he will suit ROli perfectly
Jamanlal gave the photo to Roli.
Jamanlal: ROli now its your decision whether you like him.
Roli blushed..
SHe nod her head as acceptance and rushed towards her room.
Jamanlal & Meena smiled looking at each other.
Jamanlal came out to convey their acceptance to Bharatwaj house family members.
Nirmala was eagerly looking for his acceptance
Jamanlal: We all are ok with this alliance.
Nirmala: I am very happy. Dont take tension of marriage arrangments. We will take care. Just we want ROli as our daughter in law and nothing more
Jamanlal: Sure. Its our pleasure.
NIrmala: Ok then we are leaving now. We will meet during the marriage.
Jamanlal: Ok.
Bharatwaj family members left Divedi house filled with happiness.
Roli inside her room was looking at the photo and blushed.
Part 3Siddhant reached Delhi..
Car was sent to pick up Siddhant from airport.
He reached home with a big smile..
SIddhant noticed the house is decorated with lights and flowers
Siddhant thought the decorations are because to welcome him.
Siddhant hug his grand mother and parents..
Nirmala: SIddhant, we are happy to see you after long time.

Nirmala: No Siddhant. We are very serious.
Siddhant: You mean all these decorations for my marriage??
Nirmala: Yes. All for your marriage only.
Siddhant: Oh GOd! I think you thought i will bring some girl to marry instantly as soon as i come. But nothing like that. I didn't bring any girl.
Nirmala smiled.
Nirmala: I know about our Siddhant very well. That is the reason we arranged your marriage without even taking your consent.
Siddhant: What? Grandmaa. Please dont try to make fun.
Nirmala: Siddhant, why we make fun out of you. We are serious. We arranged your marriage.
Siddhant: Oh! COme on! I dont even saw that girl.
Nirmala: So what! We all have seen and we like that girl very much and you too will like her.
Siddhant: Are you crazy? You all have seen & fixed my marriage? Remember you are talking about my marriage.
Nirmala: Yes we are aware Siddhant and you can trust me. We are only doing for your good.
Siddhant: Sorry Grandma! I am not going to accept all these. I am not going to do any marriage now.
Nirmala: SIddhant we did all arrangements. What happens to that girl then?
SIddhant: Who told you to do all these arrangements? I am sorry. I cant.
SIddhant just rushed towards his room.
NIrmala looked at Rajender & Sujatha with a puzzled look.
Sujatha: Maaji, Now what can be done?
Nirmala: Sujatha, i will talk to him. Let him relax for sometime.
Nirmala was waiting for right moment to talk to him.
Siddhant had food and went back to his room.
Nirmala went behind him and entered into his room.
Nirmala: SIddhnat
SIddhant: Grandma, i dont want to talk anything about that marriage.
Nirmala: SIddhant, i got nothing else to talk now. Please give me 2 minutes.
Siddhant: 2 minutes or 20 minutes, my decision is final.
Nirmala: Siddhant remember i am getting aged. I wish i see your marriage before something happen to me.
Siddhant: What are you talking? NOthing will happen to you.
Nirmala: SIddhant that is something not in our hands. Pandit told if marriage not done now then your marriage will be delayed.. That is why..
SIddhant: Oh God! You believe all these in this modern age too.
Nirmala: Siddhant, I am not into this modern age. I am old lady with all these belief. I thought you will give respect to my feelings.
Siddhant: Grandma, i do have respect on you. But that does not mean you can arrange my marriage with anyone like this.
Nirmala: Do you love someone?
Siddhant: Not that Grandma. I cant understand how to explain you.
Nirmala: SIddhant if you didn't love anyone. I dont see any valid reason to reject this girl. SHe is suitable for you and our family.
Siddhant: But grandma.
Nirmala: Siddhant, I wish you marry this girl if you really have respect on me and my feelings.
Siddhant: Grandma, why cant you understand my feelings?
Nirmala: I did understood and that is why i asked whether you love someone.. Because i dont want to be villian if you love someone. But when that is not there, then what is the problem to marry the girl according to my wish.
Siddhant: Problem is i wont love the girl whom you have seen.
Nirmala: Siddhant in India arranged marriage will happen only by just seeing the girl and not by loving the girl.
Siddhant: but i need sometime to know the girl and like her to marry.
Nirmala: You are going to be with her only after marriage You can know about her very well and also like her.
Siddhant: What if i dont like her later?
Nirmala: Siddhant, i am the one who know you from childhood and i know you like her
Siddhant: Grandma, but.
Nirmala: SIddhant, please for me..
She pleaded him.
Siddhant: Mataji i will accept this marriage only for your sake. But i am sure i cant be happy with that girl.
Nirmala: SIddhant thank you. Thank you that you accepted for this marriage. That is enough for me. But i am sure you will be happy with her..
Nirmala left the room without waiting for his further reply or discussion.
Siddhant was wondering thinking about his position..
Part 4Roli was admiring the Mehendi on her hands.
She admired the name 'Siddhant' written on her hands.
ROli blushed.
Meena entered into her room with a smile looking at Roli admiring her mehendi.
Meena: Roli shall we start? We need to reach Delhi on time.
ROli: Yes Maaji.
Meena: Is your dressed packed?
Roli nod her head as acceptance, but tears filled her eyes too..
Roli lean on her mother and cried.
Meena: Roli, you should not cry like this.
Roli: Maaji, what to do? I am trying to console myself. But the feeling of going far from you and pappa is not bearable for me.
Meena: I can understand Roli. It happens for all the girls whoever get married and go leaving their parents. But after somedays, once you get used to your sasural then you will feel that house as yours and this house becomes your place where you occasionally comes with your family.
Meena wipe her tears and console Roli.
Roli finally made up her mind..
ROli took her bag and came out of the room.
She looked around her room once in which she spent time all these years
Jamanlal was waiting for them in the hall.
Roli went near her pappa and hug him..
ROli: Pappa..
Jamanlal: Roli, i myself dont know how i will be without you..
Meena: Just now i console her and please dont make her to cry again.. She is going to her sasural only and we can go and see whenever we feel like..
Jamanlal: YOu are right.. SHe is only going here and we should send her happily to her sasural and not with tears.
THey console each other for a while..
They started their journey towards Delhi.
All the way Roli was remembering Siddhant's face from the photo..
Roli was eagerly moving towards Delhi to join her hands with Siddhant.
Siddhant was in his room with lots & lots of tension.
He was not sure whether acceptance of this marriage is right or not..
He was wondering how the girl accepted without looking at him.
He doesn't know how she looks like.
Siddhant though not fallen in love with anyone till now, cant accept anyone as his life partner too.
Siddhant was getting angry on his grandmother and parents.
He was thinking, what was the urgency? Why they arranged without even discussing single word with him.. How can he accept the girl about whom he doesn't know anything yet.
Siddhant was sure it is not going to be easy task for him to accept this married life.
According to him, the girl is going to get affected because of these elders who decided for such marraige in urgency.
Siddhant was not yet ready to face the marriage yet...
Part 5Divedi family reached the marriage hall.
Nirmala welcome them and took them to their room.
Nirmala turned towards Sujatha.
Nirmala: SUjatha give the wedding dress to Roli.
Sujatha bring the new Lehenga in red color and gave it to Roli.
Roli took the dress and touch their feet to get blessings of elders.
Nirmala: Roli, i wish to talk to you alone.
Meena & SUjatha left the room leaving privacy to Roli & Nirmala.
Nirmala: Roli, i want to tell you about my grandson.
Roli: Tell me Mataji.
Nirmala: ROli, Siddhant is very nice person and no doubt in it.
Roli smiled.
Nirmala: But he was in US for past few years and just return India
Roli: Ok.
Nirmala: Actually he was little disturbed in this marriage arrangements.
Roli showed little upset face
Roli: Dont he like this marriage.
Nirmala: Not like that. But he said he want to know about the girl before acceptance of marriage. YOu know it is not practically possible in our country..
Roli: Yes i agree.
Nirmala: I assure you he dont love anyone else as i asked him frankly. He only wish to know about you.
Roli: He is not wrong in his side too.
Nirmala: Yes But we got no time for that and so.
Roli was looking at Nirmala with a puzzle.
Nirmala: I made him accept this marriage and he did accepted. Of course he will be loyal to this marriage too. But ..
Roli: But.. DOes he said something?
Nirmala: No. He doesn't only i wish to tell you. If he behaves rudely or something in that frustration, you dont mind it.
Roli smiled.
Roli: DOnt worry Mataji.. I do understand.. I dont mistake him..
Nirmala: ROli,i was worried as you accepted to this marriage without even seeing him. But if you tell you something you should not mistake him. That is why i wanted to clarify you what is what.
ROli: Mataji, i am happy that you told me all these frankly.
Nirmala: Thanks ROli.
Nirmala: Ok ROli, you get ready.. THe time is nearing..
Roli: OK Mataji.
Nirmala went out of the room leaving Roli to get ready
Roli was getting ready...
ROli was thinking, I am ready to bear whatever you tell me and you are right on your part. Why should i mistake you?
Roli smiled.
Roli got ready in few minutes.
Meena & Sujatha who entered the room was stunned on seeing the beauty of Roli.
Sujatha: Roli, you look too beautiful.
Roli: Thanks Maaji.
Sujatha put the gungat on ROli's face.
Sujatha & Meena bring ROli to the marriage mandap.
Siddhant was sitting in the chair near the mandap already with some sort of irritation
Siddhant turned towards the girl whose name was also not known to him.
He saw her in veil and her face was not at all visible to him.
SIddhant was thinking neither name nor face of the girl is known to him whom he is going to marry in few minutes
NIrmala noticed the confusions on SIddhant's face.
She was fearing that he should not get his mind changed.
Nirmala signalled Ranjender.
Rajender went near Siddhant and took him to the mandap.
Siddhant & Roli sat in the mandap.
Pandit started chanting mandras
Siddhant did Ganesh pooja.
Roli & Siddhant stood up and exchanged garlands.
ROli & SIddhant took 7 Pheres
Siddhant fllled Sindoor on ROli's forehead. Still not seen her face as he filled still with the gungat just lifted from her face a little with help of Sujatha..
Siddhant put mangal sutra on Roli's neck.
Roli & Siddhant took blessings of all the elders.
