Chapter Twelve
The following morning Yash came to a decision he needed to speak to the Dubeys the sooner the better; last night was amazing he had a good talk with her cleared the air; she looked so beautiful drenched in the rain, women usually think that they don't look good without make but his Aarti looked stunning a natural beauty.
Aarpita made sure she had her make up on the entire day with accessories and expensive clothes, her explained she loved to dress up this is something she did since teenage, and both her mother, and G3 told that she must look beautiful for him her husband always, so she indulged in beauty treatments frequently, with lots of shopping, demanding that he bring gifts of expensive clothes, and jewellery, because that is what rich husbands do.
Yash never complained because he observed Pankaj bhayia buying gifts for Vidhi bhabhi, and he never heard him complain about her frequent shopping or the excessive anount of makeup she wears, his mom also loves makeup, beautiful clothes, and lots of jewellery so he took it for granted all women are the same.
After breakfast Yash left for the Dubeys coincidentally he had bussines meeting in that area, so just in case if his bauji asked he shall inform him about the meeting, his family were traditional they would not approve of him visiting the Dubeys before marriage.
They had made a big exception for Prateek to spend time with Paridhi with conditions. Ma did not approve of this morden girl that Paridhi is but her love for Prateek was greater because of this she was willing to give Paridhi a chance.
At the Dubeys Aarti and Dubeyji were sitting at the table she had her laptop working, all the rscent books pertain to their business were on the table, Shoba ma was sitting at the desktop, she was updating their filies. Aarti was an accountant by profession with an interest in law her parents supported her decision to pursue her dream, and she completed her law degree, she did legal work sometimes for the poor who could not afford to pay much,
Aarti enjoyed dealing with people she was not in it for any fame or fortune, growing up in an orphanage thought her how to enjoy the simple things in life, appreciate every opportunity, and give thanks to god.
Aarti belived that Prashant understood her that is why he loved her, and married her; she was correct he did understood her but did not love her, all he wanted was a good bahu for his parents, someone that they would accept as their daughter shower their affection on, and leave him alone to his device.
The doorbell rang " I will get it " said Shoba she opened the door and stared surprise at their guest " Yash beta you here?" "Namaste auntie, may I come in" Said Yash bending to touch her feet " Bless You Beta. Is something wrong you here so early" Shoba asked him " No auntie I wanted to speak to you, and dubey uncle alone" he answered noticing her surprise look " May I come in auntie?" he replied "Shoba let the boy in why are you keeping him standing there he is our would be damaad." Dubeyji interjected coming towards his wife. Shoba allowed Yash to pass, he went to Dubeyji and touched his feet "Namaste uncleji" Yash said "Namaste beta good bless you " replied Dubey. "Come have a seat, Aarti look who has come home" continued Dubey a little loud Yash wondered why uncle was shouting then he saw Aarti with earphones on working on her lappy, she looked so cute deep in concentration with her work, uncle ji went and tapped her on the shoulders, while auntie went in front of her daughter waving her hand in front of Aarti's face; Aarti looked up and Shoba pointed towards Yash, she quickly removed her earphones put down her lappy and stood up.
Yash noticed everything about her, her hair comed in one long braid/plait, no make up, a pair of tiny ear rings her only accessory , wearing a salwar suit that had seen better days, and she was bare feet. "Namaste Yash ji you here?" her eyes round saucers in shock her cheeks a slight red in embrrassment at being seen dressed like this, he thought she looked beautiful, simply and gorgeous in comfortable clothes.
"Namaste Aarti ji I wanted to speak to your parents." he came to the point "About what beta" asked Dubey ji "Well since I will be your Damaad I wanted to get to know you all and learn some things about my future wife, and our son Ansh" he expounded "Aarti ji you carry on with your work I will speak with your parents alone okay" he give her a smile and a wink Aarti was concerened what dose he want to know " Ma I will get some refreshments for you all" she said and left for the kitchen.
"Yash beta what do you want to know?" asked Dubey ji "Uncle ji may I call you Bau ji, and auntie ji as Maji?" asked Yash "Yes you can beta." "Well bau ji Aarti told me that she is a divorcee, and not a widow; that your son Prashant is alive and living with his girlfriend in Dehli." was his reply. The older couple was shocked, they did not know what to say so he continued " Bau ji I am not angry I just want to know why did you tell my parents that she is a widow?" Shoba answered " Your ma said that they will accept a widow not a divorcee for their bahu, she and your bhabhi came to us with your poposal on the train, your younger brother Prateek liked Aarti, and Ansh, we were overwhelm with emotion, plus the fact we want a good home for our children, she told us about your loss and how it affected you, also about your daughters, and their need for a mother, just as our Ansh needs a father. Beta you, and Aarti are two young individuals who lost your respective life patners at a young age, you are parents to young children five years and younger who needs the love, and guidance of two parents. Yes it was a spur of the moment decision and we made it, Yes we agree our decision can be looked upon as selfish but we were only thinking of the happiness of our children, yours, and your daughters. This marriage is a solution for both families the children will have a stable family, and both you and Aarti will have support from each other for the rest of your lives." Yash looked at her and smiled " I understand you point of view and I agree one hundured percent, so I am kindly requesting from both of you Please don't ever tell my parents that Aarti is a divorcee. I will tell them when I feel it is the right time, they are very set in their ways if they find out any time soon their will be problems. I like Aarti, and Ansh very much I want us to be a family, there is no doubt in my mind that Aarti will be a good mother to my girls, and I will be a good father to Ansh."
Aarti came in at that moment with a trolley with refreshments much to the amusement of all " Well I don't know what Yash ji liked so I brought cold drink, water, tea, coffee, fruit, cake, biscuits, and vegi samoosa." she innocently answered with a smile " No problem Aarti ji you will learn" Yash responded with a smile and invited her to join them.
Yash spent a few hours there with them having a late lunch with them, and he played with Ansh when he returned from school. Yash observed Aarti as she helped Shoba ma in the kitchen. from bauji he learned that Aarti helps him run his business from home; how she studied accounting before marriage, and her love for helping people lead her to study law with their support after her divorce from Prashant. Dubey ji shared the information how Prashant abused, and cheated on her, his marriage to Neda and her pregancy that Aarti is not aware off, how Prashant called Aarti a charcterless woman, and never accepted Ansh as his son. How he and Shoba loved Aarti from their first meeting with her, that she is the child they always wanted but never had, but god was kind to them and brought her into their lives as their bahu the only good thing their son Prashant ever did. Aarti and Ansh means everything to them and both he and Shoba will do everything/ anything to keep them happy and safe.
Yash was in awe of the selfless love of this family he wanted to know more about her childhood. "Bauji what about her family where are they?" he asked "Beta Aarti is a orphan she grew up in an orphanage in Indore; her chachu placed her there when she was six months old , her mother died in child birth, Aarti came late in her parents marriage after eighteen years, her father loved her mother so much after she died he tried his best to take care of the baby but on her mothers birthday he met with an accident and died on the way to hospital in the presence of his mother, and brother.Their mother was so distraught that she attempted to kill the innocent baby Aarti by strangulation, her chacu saved her and both he and his wife took her to the orphanage giving the matron her birth chart, birth certificate, an album wth pictures of her parents, he father with her as a baby, and two journals written by her parents.Three years ago we visited the orphanage also there were her uncle he came looking for information about Aarti when he saw he the connection was made Aarti was named after her mother and she is a carbon copy her." Dubey expounded he continued "Her chacu lives in Canada with his family they migrated two weeks after her father died, her chote chacu, bua, and dadi still lives in Indore but they don't want to have anything to do with Aarti because they consider her to be a curse to their family." Both Yash and Dubey ji had tears in their eyes.
"When Aarti met Prashant in collage she fell in love with him because he was kind to her he treated her as a friend not a charity case, he showed her respect, then he introduced her to us. What he neglected to tell her was that he already had a girl friend whom he loved and plan to marry, but we did not approve of that relationship so he made a plan to do his own trade off marry Aarti so we can have a daughter then divorce her leaving her with us. One night Prashant came home drunk this was something he did often he would start an argument with Aarti and then slap or push her , but on this day it was different he was frustrated after having a fight with Neda she was presssurize him to divorce Aarti, and on the other hand Aarti wanted to consummate their marriage and start planning a family, their argument was loud he beat Aarti and she lost consciousness; we tried to stop him but he locked the door from inside we assume that was when he raped her. Aarti thought we did not know what happened that night, and she wanted to keep us in the dark about our son's behaviour up to today she has never said a bad word about him. we assume she belives that what a husband dose to his wife is accepted in a marriage, and that he can never be wrong. Shoba and I really don't know how exactly she feels about Prashant she claims that she still love him because he is Ansh's father, and her husband." Dubey ji continued this time the tears were openly flowing down both their eyes.
"Bau ji i promise that i will take care of Aarti, and Ansh we may have problems in our marriage it will not be perfect but i will try; you see bauji I still have love for my first wife and I made a promise to her that she would be my one and only love, no woman shall ever take her place in my life, or come before our daughters, and I am a man of my word" Yash told " I appteciate your honesty beta" said Dubey ji
Yash took his leave from the Dubeys late evening when he returned home his mother wanted to know about his whereabouts he simply answered that he was working on a difficult project. Yash went to his room to discuss everything with Aripta in private.
