"Look bhai Sa, you have given so much freedom to your daughter that she has started loitering in any shop."
Mahesh said to his elder brother Naresh Agrawal, Father of Dhvani.
Naresh closed his eyes to calm himself hearing the high pitch of his younger brother.
"Keep your voice low Mahesh, you should not talk loudly to your elder brother."
Hearing a calm yet dangerous voice of his brother Mahesh gulped hard.
This is the aura of the head of the Agarwal family i.e. Naresh Agarwal: calm yet dangerous.
Then Naresh turned his eyes towards his daughter who was standing down with her head bowed.
He stepped towards her and said
"where were you?"
"Bhai sa-I am talking to my daughter Mahesh" Naresh said without glancing at his brother , Then he lifted Dhvani's face and raised his eyebrows expecting and answer of his question
"Baba I..I went with Siya to Ratan Kaka's stall to eat kulfi."
She said preparing herself mentally to hear her father's lecture
"Hmm , I think you just came from college so you must be tired, go to your room and rest."
Hearing her father's words Dhvani was shocked as hell , like the person who did not approve of her wandering around after the college unnecessarily, did not say anything to her...why??
"Bhai sa,you- princess, go to your room"
He Again Interrupted His Brother and Dhvani Nodded Because whenever Naresh calls her princess, she cannot deny anything he says, as this is her weakness ,after all hearing 'princess' from a father always gives different kind of satisfaction and emotions to a daughter .
She went upstairs towards her room, As soon as Dhvani went to her room, Naresh turned towards Mahesh
"Bhai sa why didn't you say anything to Dhvani? if someone had seen her at that place, what would they have thought about us , What about our reputation,Bhai sa"
Mahesh said and frustration and concern both were visible in his tone.
This is how the Agarwal family is, they love the children of their family equally but if their reputation comes under threat then both the brothers would not even think of sacrificing their own lives...
And because of his behavior, the children of his family are not able to live openly, especially Dhvani, As a girl she has to suffer more in all these things than her brothers...
"Dhvani was there, it was her mistake but what you did, Aree, you brought that poor girl by force, what would anyone have thought if someone had seen it? That we keep the daughter of our house captive, people would think that we do not trust our daughter.In the future, if you dominate my daughter in front of outsiders, then no one will be worse than me, Mahesh."
Naresh said making him a little shocked to hear these words but due to Naresh's anger Mahesh did not said anything.
"Jii Bhai sa , I won't repeat this again"
Saying this Mahesh went from there .
But As Dhvani heard her Baba's words from a little far , her eyes turned teary..
Although she loves her Baba very much, sometimes she gets hurt a lot when he scolds her because of her kaka sa's words. And today when she heard him saying this to Mahesh, Her heart was overwhelmed..
She jumped in joy feeling so happy seeing her baba taking her side...
She hurriedly took her phone and Dialed that person's number to whom she tells all her happiness and sorrow, her best friend Siya..
"Hello Dhvani, everything is fine, your Baba didn't scold you much, right??sorry yrr you had to listen scoldings because of me "
Siya burst out like a metro train as soon as she picked the call..
"Aree meri rajdhaani express thoda saans toh le le"
(Oh my Rajdhaani express, take a breath at least )
Dhvani said and giggled , siya took a breath of relief knowing that her friend isn't sad...
"Baba scolded a little but... not me he scolded kaka sa."
As dhvani said a gasp left from siya's mouth
"Your baba scolded his brother that mustached don" siya said dramatically making her chuckle specially on that 'mustached don'..
Well , siya gave this name to Dhvani's kaka sa as according to his personality which looks dangerous because of his big moustache..
"Yeah siyuuu, I am so happy today, like for real baba fought for me"
She said twirling around and jumped on her bed in excitement..
"I am also happy for you vanuuu" siya said from the other side, well she always gets happy in Dhvani's happiness...she isn't like that fake friends who use each other for their personal use like a dustbin...
"Well, I think you should talk to your baba about that college trip."
Siya said and Dhvani immediately stood up from the bed and her eyes turned wide, oh! She almost forgot about the college trip.
Next month Her college is taking her on a trip to Shimla and Arjun is also going on this trip, but this time Dhvani wants to go on this trip for herself and not for Arjun..
As this is the last year of her college she wants to enjoy like a free bird,She wants all the memories of her college to remain with her, after all this time will be passed one day, But memories are such that they do not let us forget some special moments in our whole life.
"You are right, okay byee I am going to talk to him"
Saying this dhvani disconnected the call and hurriedly went towards her parents' room..
Standing outside she took a nervous breath to calm her racing heartbeats..
Her steps stopped when she heard her mother Mukta's voice
"I liked it very much that today you did not scold Dhvani, she was very happy to see that her Baba took her side."
Mukta said and hearing this a smile appeared on Dhvani's face..
Her mother always cares for her a lot , her mother is her bestest friend even she knows dhvani more than anyone..
"Now... our daughter has grown up, Mukta and I want her to spend these few days at her parents' house and make memories."
Hearing him mukta frowned not understanding the meaning behind his words
"Jii I didn't understand anything " Mukta said in confusion..Naresh sighed and close the book he was reading. Guess , now he has to tell everything to his wife .
On the other hand dhvani was fidgeting with her thoughts that she should go inside the room or stand here like this only..
'I will do one thing , I am going to my room now and will come back later.' With this thought she turned to go back but her feet stopped in the midway hearing her father's words..
"I have found a very good Man for Dhvani, with whom our daughter will marry."
Mukta gasped hearing this from naresh but outside of their room dhvani was stunned not believing what she Heard from her father's mouth.
Her feet felt numb as if someone had glued them to the floor, unknowingly her eyes became moist .
How can it happen that her father decided to marry her without even asking her?
She hurriedly ran towards her room wiping her tears harshly..
She stepped inside her room and closed the door with a loud thud..
There her legs gave up and she fell on the bed
Her eyes were shedding tears like a waterfall while the room was echoing with her sobs..
She was crying for her faith, what bad deeds had she done that her baba doesn't care about her happiness..
How can she marry someone else when she loves Arjun , she doesn't wants to hurt or cheat him like this...
Crying for some time her eyes turned heavy and she fell asleep..
On the other side
"Without even asking, you agreed for her marriage , you didn't even ask her about it."
Mukta said shaking her head in disbelief
She couldn't believe that her husband would do something like this....
"Look Mukta, the boy is very nice, our daughter will be very happy with him and even you already know the boy."
Naresh said making her understand .
Mukta frowned hearing this , does she know the boy naresh had chosen for Dhvani
"who is he?" She asked him and a wide smile appeared on his face because he knows Once Mukta hears his name, she will immediately agree to this alliance.
"Vihaan..vihaan Suryavanshi"
Hearing this a wide smile appeared on mukta's face and she took a breath of relief..
She knows that Vihaan is a very good boy and he can always keep Dhvani happy..
"I talked to Vijay yesterday, he told me that Vihaan is thinking of settling down in Udaipur, he wants to set up his business here and now they are looking for a girl for him...That's when he suddenly asked for Dhvani's hand for vihaan , Vijay likes Dhvani for vihaan"
Naresh said and mukta nodded.
Well , Her daughter won't get any better partner than vihaan.
Agarwal family have known Suryavanshi family for many years and Atharva Agarwal, i.e. Dhvani's brother, is also a very good friend of Vihaan..
Though Dhvani and Vihaan met only a few times, because due to some Family problems, Vihaan's parents sent him to the hostel and after graduation he shifted to Mumbai, It was there that he gained his identity and set up his own company worth crores..
"you haven't fixed this alliance without Dhvani's permission, right?"
Mukta asked hoping that this time Naresh won't force his decision in Dhvani , after all it's about her all life..
"Hey, what are you saying Mukta, I will not finalize this marriage without asking Dhvani, I believe that I am strict with her but I will not do such a big injustice to my daughter."
Naresh said and Mukta smiled and thanked God that Naresh didn't do anything which will hurt her daughter..
.
.
.
It was night time and everyone gathered on the dining table for dinner except dhvani and Mohit, Mahesh's son and dhvani's cousin brother
"Where are Dhvani and Mohit"
Naresh asked mukta as they both weren't present in the dining table
"I'll call them" saying this she stood from her chair but interrupted by sakshi , Mahesh's wife and kaki sa of Dhvani..
"Bhabhi, you have started eating, you eat, I will call Mohit and Dhvani both."
Mukta nodded with smile and sakshi went upstairs to call Mohit and Dhvani..
In the room, Dhvani just woke up from her sleep , ignoring the headache she was having right now she stood from the bed and went to change her clothes and washed her face, her eyes had become swollen from crying and were now hurting.
But Her heart was hurting more than all this external pain.
She wiped her face with towel and came out from the washroom , just then Sakshi entered in her , she didn't knocked as the door was open which Dhvani did after waking up from her sleep..
"Dhvani beta, the food is ready-wait a minute, were you crying?"
Sakshi asked with a frown seeing her puffy face and swollen eyes.
"No..no kaki sa , I just slept too much
that's why" Dhvani lied looking here and there but sakshi..
Though sakshi wasn't satisfied with her answer but she decided to leave this matter here only..
"Didi, let's go quickly, I am hungry, I also have to do my college assignments."
Mohit Said coming into her room standing beside Sakshi..
"Let's go" Dhvani said and the three went downstairs for Dinner..
Everyone was eating peacefully, then Naresh cleared his throat to get everyone's attention..
"I need to talk to all of you"
He said and Dhvani's hold on the spoon tightened as she guessed what her father wanted to talk..
"A very good Marriage proposal has come for Dhvani"
He continued and dhvani closed her eyes controlling the urge of her tears that were threatening to escape from her eyes
"Dhvani Beta, the boy is very good, see, we all will not put pressure on you, whatever happens will happen as per your wish"
Naresh said and a small smile appeared on Dhvani's face thinking that her father is asking About her concern , she was wrong before, He isn't forcing her for the marriage..
Before she could say something Mahesh interrupted to them .
"Who is boy , Bhai sa?" He asked and a wide smile appeared on Naresh's Face
"Vihaan Suryavanshi"
As he said the name Dhvani's eyes turned wide , Her heartbeats increased as she wasn't expecting his name here while all the family members smiled feeling happy as everyone knows Vihaan is the Prince of Udaipur and is a very nice man and the family is also the best family...Inshort this alliance is perfect for Dhvani..
