'Dadiii agar aap aise batein karagey toh mujhe aap se koi baat nahi karne.' She said angrily while turning face to other side.
'Dekha Anant kitne pagal hai yeh...' this time Anant interrupted her.
Anant: Nahi Dadi she is right. Don't say like that. You had to live a long life.
'No beta it's not in our hands otherwise...' but couldn't able to complete and started sobbing. Navya couldn't take this anymore and hugged her tightly and started crying.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter-25
'Arey Dadi you have started it again. Mein aap se kitne baar kaha hai ke aap rote hue bilkul achi nahi lagti' Sushant said out loud trying to lighten the atmosphere and both of them looked at him pulling each other back from the hug and find him smiling naughtily.
Dadi just nodded and smiled lightly while patting his cheeks.
'I am sorry Navya beta I didn't mean to make you upset.' Dadi said trying to comfort her.
'It's ok Dadi. Aap sorry kyu bol rahi hai. I can understand.' Navya replied with smile.
'Acha Anant beta abh batiye kabh milwa rahe hain apne parents se?'
'Dadi yeh sab bateein aap bad mein karna Anant koi bhaga thori ja raha hai. Phele aap yeh batayi mere liye kya laye ho.'Navya said giving childish expression.
Dadi felt something fishy and she understood instantly something is definitely wrong but seeing the situation she thought to ask her later.
'I thought now you don't need anything or anyone.' Dadi said giving her mischievous smile and she just looked her suspiciously.
When realization hits her that where Dadi is pointing and she turned pink and then looked at Anant and found him smiling. She was looking very cute with that blush on her face.
'Dadiii!!! aap bhi.' Navya said not believing that her dadi too teasing her and that too in front of Anant.
'Arey mein toh mazak kar rahi thi. Tere dadi sab kuch bul sakti hai per tera favouritegajar ka halwa nahi.' Dadi said while pulling her cheeks.
Sushant:Dadi this is not fair. Aap ne phele kyu nahi bataya?
'Vo is liye ke tu sara halwa phele hi khatam kar deta. Mottu..' Navya said in a teasing voice and instantly ran from there and he too gets up to chase her.
'Renu just go and stop them.' Dadi said as she saw them fighting like school kids.
Anant was looking at the lovely bonding between bro and sister which reminds him of his cute fights with Nimmi.
Dadi:Kitne dino ke baad ise itna khush dekh rahi hoon.
'Nahi toh Deepu or Meeta ke jane ka bad toh muskurana hi bhool gayi thi mere bachi' looking at the photo frame kept on the side table.
He just smiled and turned his face to look at the picture. For once he gets frowned and instantly picking up the picture.
'Yeh toh Deepak uncle hai. Per unki tasveer..' wondered Anant.
'means Navya is Deepak uncle's daughter ' he thought still not believing.
'Bilkul deepu per gayi hai tabhi toh dono ki pasand bhi ek jaise hai.' Dadi said bringing him out from his thoughts.
'You know Anant he had seen lot of dreams regarding her marriage. But no one can change the truth that everything is planned by him sitting above us.' Dadi said looking upwards on her last words getting little emotional and then with smile.
'But I am sure today Deepu must be happy seeing that Navya is getting married to same guy whom he had selected for her. '
Anant was more surprised by now.
'Who are you referring to Dadi?'
'You of course beta!! Navya didn't tell you?' she asked and in the meantime Navya came with halwa and then said while forwarding bowl towards him.
'Yeh lo Anant ..'but before she could complete Dadi interrupted her.
'Acha hua Navya tum aa gayi. Navya , why haven't you told Anant about Deepu's last wish?' Dadi chided her nave granddaughter.
'Vo Dadi..actually..' Navya said fumbling with words as she didn't know what to say now. Anant understood her turmoil and said feeling guilty.
'No Dadi it was my mistake. She told me once but I don't know how it slipped out of my mind.' Anant lied and Navya just looked at him dumfounded.
'See Dadi how much they concern for each other that one is trying to defend her and other not even let me touch that halwa as she wanted him to taste first.' Sushant teased while joining them.
'Shushant , shut up!!' said Navya giving him angry glare.
Anant smiled inward as he was simply mesmerized by blushing Navya in front of him. Then he took the bowl and as soon as he takes the first bite he just lost somewhere.
Dadi:What happened Anant? Halwa acha nahi laga?
'Nahi Dadi it's really very tasty.' Anant said with a smile and Navya had clearly seen his pain. She knows it very well that how much he misses his Dadi.
Navya gestured Anant through eyes that 'Is he fine?' to which he assured by nodding his head in yes with smile which didn't unnoticed by Dadi and she smiled inwardly.
After sometime Anant gets up and said 'I think I should go now.'
'No you can't go like this first have dinner with us.' Dadi said with loving smile and Anant couldn't refuse and nodded in yes.
----------------------
Later at night Renu and Navya were sitting in the room Anant and Sushanat left after dinner.
'Navya , R you crazy?Do you know what have you done?' Renu chided her as she didn't believe her ears when Navya told Renu about their lie to Anant's parents.
'I know Di but all this happen so sudden that we couldn't able to think.'
'But Navi you didn't think once what others will say?'
'Don't worry Di no one knows about this except Ritz and his friend Ranbir.'
'And what if Dadi comes to know about it?'Renu asked her little scared.
'I don't know Di but I can't hide this from her.'she said looking at Renu and suddenly noticed change in her expressions which made her puzzled.
'Dadi' Renu murmured. Navya turned while shivering and she felt like floor slipped beneath her feet when she found Dadi standing outside the room.
Navya : Dadi aap?
'Navya I didn't expect this from you. Tumne mujhe yeh sab kuch phele kyu nahi bataya? Dadi said sternly and Navya thought she heard everything.
'Vo dadi actually..'
'Mujhe pata hai agar aaj Deepu hota toh you never hide this from him. It was my mistake that I thought my granddaughter could never hide anything from me.'
'No Dadi pls don't say like that I love you..' before Navya could complete Dadi continued with a deep sigh.
'Ya ya I know .But Thank God that night I came to your room when you are sleeping and I noticed Anant's picture in your hand.'
'Picture??? Dadi what are you talking about?'
'That you are in love.' Dadi said with grin. Both Navya and Renu looked at each other shocked.
'And thanks to our detective Sushant who helped us in finding the truth. Nahi tu toh hamey kabhi nahi batati pagal ladaki.'
Now Navya couldn't control anymore she instantly hugged her and unknowingly tears started rolling from her eyes feeling guilty.
'Abh tujhe kya hua tu rone kyu lagai?'
'Dadi there is still something important that I want to tell you.' Navya (little scared)
'Haan beta bolo?' Dadi said calmly and she gets some courage.
Navya narrated her everything and there was a silence for few seconds . Navya looked up at Dadi slowly and found her looking at her with graved expressions.
'I am sorry Dadi pls don't get angry I know what we had done is wrong and you can give me any punishment for that. But turst me Dadi we never crossed our limits. I also told Anant to tell truth to his parents without scaring for their reaction. But you know Dadi, Anant's parents never loved him and he wanted him to marry Sonia bcoz it's just a business deal for them nothing more than that. Anant never liked Sonia in fact she is not of his types.' Navya said in one breath giving stress on her last line.
'Acha!!! then who is of his types?' Dadi asked mischievously and then she realized what she had said.
'Umm..vo...' tried to speak while looking other side. Both Renu and Dadi smiled and just shake her head in disbelief looking at each other.
'Navya beta I trust you and I know that Deepu and you can never be wrong. But this is also true that Anant and you did a big mistake .I know now you can't undo anything. But don't forget that they are his parents and both of you have to accept it so promise me that this won't happen again.' Dadi said while putting hand on her cheek. Dadi's words released a great burden on her heart.
'Thank you Dadi and I promise.' Navya said instantly while hugging her and Renu too hugged them.
-----------------------
It was Sunday night and Navya was impatiently waiting for Anant at the airport. Renu and Dadi are going back to Kanpur.They didn't realize how four days are passed. Anant felt like being a part of the family and these were the most memorable days of his life. Both Anant and Navya didn't get time to spend alone but Navya was too happy that Dadi and Renu accepted him whole heartedly. She was amazed seeing Anant taking care of her Dadi like his own she felt more respect towards him. Till now Dadi too worried about her but seeing them together like this she was relaxed thinking that she has finally someone in her life and she seems so happy.
