Part 5
Neil informed his parents that Mini donât have any problem with his and Ishaâs marriage. Sharda and Devrath finally accepted their defeat as the last ray of hope of Mini objecting for their marriage died down. Neil was very disturbed since he returned after meeting Mini. He thought he knew what does love meant but after meeting her he found out how ignorant he was. That little annoying girl today proved how mature and understanding she is and how low she made him felt in front of her. Neil declared that he wanted to get married as soon as possible. Neil wanted to leave this place as quickly as he can because he feared he wont be able to face Mini again. He asked Isha to call her parents tomorrow itself as he declared that they will do a simple marriage in the temple day after tomorrow and then get registered their marriage in Delhi and will throw reception party there. Though Sharda and Dev had great plans for their only sonâs marriage but as it was not happening with Mini they were also not in a mood for grand celebration so they agreed to whatever Neil said.
Ishaâs parents arrived next day. All of them were discussing about the marriage when Sharda asked Neil, âNeil, I know you want to get married tomorrow but at least stay here for sometime after marriage. And what will you do in Delhi now? You said that you wanted to join your dadâs business thatâs why you left the job there right?â âYes mom, previously my plan was that only but now I have changed my mind. I am planning on to do something of my own.â Replied Neil. âWhat is the need for that? Who will handle my business then I also need retirement. No you will stay here.Thatâs final.â Said Devrath with finality. âDad, I am not interested in your business anymore.â Replied Neil. âNeil hum tumhe sab kuch apne mann ka karne de rahe hain iska matlab ye nahi ki tum hamari baat hi na suno. Tum apni marzi se shadi kar rahe ho na toh kam se kam hamari baat business ke mamle mein toh suno.â Dev taunted him. âDad, I have decidedâŠâ Neil tried to argue back but Devrath interrupted him. âNeil either you join our business or else you wont get anything from my properties.â Dev threatened him âFine! I dont want anything from you.â Neil agreed. While Isha and her parents exchanged tensed looks with each other.
âNeil, we agreed for your and Ishaâs marriage after making sure that you are financially sound. If you wont get anything from your dadâs property then we cant marry off our daughter to you nowâ Ishaâs father very clearly made his point clear. Neil looked at him surprised by his attitude. He looked at Isha, âDo you think the same?â he asked. âOf course not baby. Dad is just worrying about me. I totally support you. Waise bhi mujhe jis life style ki aadat hai wo is chhote sheher mein toh possible ho nahi payega.â Replied Isha. Ishaâs mom and dad exchanged a glance with Isha. Her dad again tried to say something when Isha gestured him to stay quiet. Soon everything was fixed and Ishaâs parents were in her room.
âWhy didnât you let me speak there?â asked her dad. âDad, if you have said anything at that time then Neil would have thought that I am marrying him for his money.â Isha explained. âBut this is true in a way. You only said that he is rich your future will be secured with him.â Asked Ishaâs mom. âYa mom its true but we cant make it obvious on their faces.â Isha made them understand. âBut now what? Neil does not want to take anything from his dad.â Said Ishaâs dad. âDadthey wont agree if we try to pressurize them now but tomorrow is the wedding. All their relatives, family, friends will be there. Talk to our lawyers. Get the papers ready by tomorrow in which at least half of their property their everything their shares, assets and even this bunglow will be in my name. This way if in future if Neil wants to divorce me also then his half property will be mine. Exactly before wedding you will ask Neilâs parents to sign the papers or else will threatened them to cancel the marriage. I am sure they will sign it to save their name and reputation in society.â Isha explained her plan.
Next day as per Ishaâs plan her dad and mom got ready with the legal papers. All of them left for Radha Krishna temple. Isha instructed her dad to find a perfect opportunity where Neilâs parents would be alone then ask them to sign papers and keep in mind that Neil shouldnât see them. Hanuman and Babita also came there to attend Neilâs wedding. âWhy you two have come here. Donât make us feel more guilty. Stay with Mini. She needs you now.â Said Sharda to Babita and Hanuman. âNeil ki shadi hamari Mini se nahi ho rahi toh kya hua par Neil bhi hamare bĂȘte jaisa haiâŠ.iski shadi kaise miss kar sakte hain aur Mini ki tension mat loâŠwo itni bhi kamjor nahi haiâŠusi ne hume convince kiya yaha aane ke liye.â Replied Babita.
All the relatives, friends, family and people from society had already come. Pandit ji called Groom first. Neil came and sait in mandap. Babita looked at him. He was wearing blush pink color sherwani looking as handsome as ever. She remembered how many times she has seen this in her dreams where Neil comes and sit in mandap then panditji calls bride and her Mini comes in beautiful bright red color saree and sits with Neil. Everything was happening just like her dream but only bride was not her Mini. Babita wiped her tears. âWe are here for Neilâs happiness. Donât cry and ruin his day.â Hanuman Singh hugged her from side as he too was becoming emotional.
Ishaâs dad thought that this is the right opportunity. Neil is sitting in mandap. He wont know anything now. He found Neilâs parents and gestured them to come with him in a secluded corner. âMr.Oberoi, I am giving my daughter to your son. He seems impulsive to me thatâs why yesterday he didnât agree to take his share from your properties but I am a practical man. I have to make sure that my daughterâs future is secure. So I have asked my lawyers to draft a legal contract which says that you are willingly giving half of your properties to my daughter. In future if Neil divorces her also you cannot take her properties back from her. Before marriage I want you to sign these papers then only I will call my daughter to mandap.â Ishaâs dad said clearly. âAapka dimaag kharab toh nahi ho gaya? Aap apni beti ki shadi kar rahe hain ya uska sauda?â asked Sharda angrily. âThink what do you want but we want secure future for our daughter or else we will take our daughter back.âReplied Ishaâs mom. âBut guest have already arrived here now if you cancel the wedding all will laugh at us.â Said Devrath. âWe donât care about that.âReplied Ishaâs dad. âDev, I think they did this on purpose to blackmail us today. Agar inki intentions theek hoti toh ye baat ye log kal hi sabke samne kar sakte the.â Sharda said to her husband.
Meanwhile panditji called the bride. But Ishaâs parents and Neilâs parents were no where to be seen. Neil looked here and there in concern but he couldnât find his parents or even Ishaâs parents. Hanuman and Babita saw this and went near him. âWhat happened Neil?â asked Babita. âAunty panditji is calling Isha but her parents or even my parents are not anywhere to be seen. Can you please find them.â Neil requested. Hanuman and Babita went to search for them and finally located them at far corner of temple garden. Isha was also standing with them and looked like they were arguing over something. They went near them, âDev whats happening here? Panditji is calling for bride to start the rituals.â Asked Hanuman. Devrath told him everything. Hanuman and Babita were shocked to listen to the demands of Isha and her parents. Neil was becoming nervous and edgy sitting alone in mandap. He was constantly feeling that something is not right. He looked at the guest all of them have now started gossiping as to why bride is not coming and where are the parents. Finally frustrated with waiting Neil decided to go and look for them.
