My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra - Volume 1 Chapter 523
Kokila jie informed Kaurs’ that they don’t expect any dowry from them and Mrs. Rajput is not happy with that desicion.
Prathap once said that whatever assests he had he will give it to his daughter as she is the only child left for them after Rishi’s death but Kunal insisted not to do so.
So they had no choice but to accept to his words. She also informed “Engagement ceremony will be organised in the farm house with a very few close relatives and friends while marriage ceremony will be held in a convention hall in Mumbai city with family, friends and relatives.
The reception will be held in a hotel and all the media personnel, businessmen, friends, people from industry and almost all the important people in the city will be invited.
The date for marriage will be most probably during Diwali vaction but not sure of the date.” She also informed that they don’t have to worry about anything and everything will be managed by their family and wedding planners.
She also said that if they wanted the engagement ceremony to be held in punjabi style then they could do so.
Kaur’s didn’t think much about it and they are fine with whatever Rajput’s are fine with. Kunal who was silent all the while said “Uhmm, I think dadisaa is right. Afterall aunt and uncle will have their own dreams and plans for Sony and we can’t steal that chance from them.”
He then turned towards them and said “Uncle, we will do what you like. Think about it and we will plan further according to your wish. Don’t worry about time and other things, I will allot people for everything”.
Pratap sighed in relief and looked at his wife and she said “Then we will folow our culture. Sony’s grandparents want to see her engagement.
We have shifted to Mumbai after the accident and we didn’t keep in touch with our other family members much. We just met a few times and now we would like to invite them all.
Sony is the youngest among all her cousins and most of them are married. This is the last occasion where we can meet and….” and Kokila jie said “That’s great. That way we can get to meet them and spend some time with them.”
Kunal said “Don’t say such words aunty. You don’t know what is waiting for you in the future. You can’t be sure”.
Elder Rajput cleared his throat and asked Sony “I heard you are in college. Will that date be okay for you ?” and Sony didn’t dare to talk to him. She feared him so much for an unknown reason.
She gulped and nodded but her voice didn’t come out of her mouth. Kunal side hugged her and she was shocked to death. She looked at him with her eyes wide open and Barun smiled teasingly.
Kunal said “She has classes but she said it will okay. She can manage and can take a two days leave. I asked her”.
Elder Rajput roared at his grandson “Did I ask you ?” and Sony was scared. She trued to wiggle out from the hug. Kunal sighed and said “Dadasaa, you are scaring her”.
Elder Rajput looked at Kunal and said “What do you mean by scared ? She will be a part of the family soon, the eldest daughter of the household at that and she has to face me everyday. Will you be there as her spokesperson everyday, will you stay at time all the time.”
Sony looked at the old man and he said “You, why are you afraid of me. I heard you are hot headed and you like to boss around all the time. Then why ?”
She looked at him like a scared cat and he laughed “I have seen you before and what you are like. Loosen up and speak up your thoughts. It’s your wedding we are talking discussing about” and she nodded meekly.
Prathap and his wife are also scared but relaxed. Barun said “Of course, she is scared of you because you have a bad reputation dadasaa”.
Elder Rajput snorted and said “I know that your brother is the one who did all this. He must have portrayed me as a cold hearted, scary and ruthless old hag and must have advised her not to stay around me and guard up all the time”.
Barun said to his grandpa “She is a good girl and very active. But she is a bit scared of you and that’s because she respects you. She is like a cat infront of elders but with younger people she is like a tigress. She scares the hell out of me.”
Elder Rajput laughed and it sounded like a roar. He said “Of she is capable of scaring you then I am confident. I want someone who can mould this brat here”. He said pointing towards Kunal and Pumpkin mumbled “She did that a while ago. He is now on her fingertips.” and Barun chuckled. Mrs. Rajput is not happy with this but she kept silent while Mr. Rajput enjoyed his kid’s banter.
It was a long time ago that he saw then giggling and enjoying like this. Moreover his parent’s separation gave him a lot of depression but now he could see that father is trying his best to approach his mother and he is happy for them. He just wished that they reconcile and stay together in their old days.
