BEYHADH

"Gunnu" Geetanjali snapped her head towards Gajendra.

Both were alone. Geetanjali was just going back when Gajendra called Geetanjali.

"Kesi hai laddo?" Gajendra asked. His voice is extremely soft and filled with emotions.

"Kitne saal lag gaya aapko baba sa yeh puchte puchte......" Geetanjali replied

"Gunnu, chalo beta let's go we are getting late" Digvijay side hugged Geetanjali

Giving a last glance and a small smile to Gajendra, Geetanjali left with Digvijay. He was saying something to which Geetanjali giggled like a small child.

Gajendra could do nothing but stare at Geetanjali longingly. He was trying to recall the last time he made his princess smile and here she is laughing heartily with Digvijay.

Damini came near Gajendra and said "aapne Kartavya se baat kari? Sunna hai company ka chairman banne jaa rahe hain jamai sa. Apki beti toh kuch bhala kar nhi pae, kamas kam uske sasural se toh thoda labh mile"

Gajendra left from there while nodding his head negatively.

"Mom........what's all this?" Divya screeched, furiously walking towards Damini

"Aab ke hai? Tharo complain toh khatam hi ni ho ra" Damini said

"Mom .......aapne kaha tha Geetanjali ko uske sasural wale pasand nhi karenge arey pasand chodiye yeh log usse pamper karte hai. Gunnu , laddo yeh sab nam se pukara jaa raha hai. And did you see the way jiju sa defended Geetanjali, this Vikrant has no match with him. I don't want to marry him"

"Chup kar. Bawri ho gayi hai ke? Tune kaha Vikrant tane pasand hai isiliye jab bhi Vikrant ki chitthi ati thi meine sari chitthi chupa di kabhi Geetanjali tak pahunch ne nhi di....... Geetanjali ki naam ki jhuthi chitthi bheji so that they will have a miscommunication and their relationship will be ruined and we finally succeeded. Aur aab tu keh rahi hai shaadi nhi karni hai tane" Damini chided Divya

"Mom mom mom........haan kaha tha Vikrant pasand hai par tab tak Kartavya ko nhi dekha tha na....."

"Jiju sa se Kartavya ka safar kuch jaldi nhi tey kar liya tane? Jab pehle meine Kartavya ke bare mein kaha tha tab kyu manna kar rahi thi?" Damini asked

Before Geetanjali's marriage, Damini was having an eye on the Chauhan family and specifically on Kartavya. She even recommended Kartavya to Divya but Divya rejected him without even meeting him for once and was hell bent on marrying Vikrant.

"Mom mein kya karti, yeh sab business tabloids sab toh description mein dete that 'its not easy to tame the roaring lion' and what not. Moreover hardly kabhi business parties mein pehle dekha hoga unhe. Ek do baari jo dekha uss mein bhi rude stoic face ke sath attend karte thay parties. Kuch pucho toh ek word mein answer khatam. Tab mujhe laga ki Vikrant is an easy prey. Mein jo kehti thi sab mante thay mujhe laga aram ki zindagi ke liye zyada mehnat nhi karni padegi" Divya reasoned

"Toh aab Vikrant ke saath sari zindagi aram kar. Kartavya jamai sa ke taraf aankh utha kar bhi nhi dekhegi. Woh tharo jija sa hain toh ussi hisabh se duri banae rakhegi. Sarpanch ji se rishta juda hai, lag-bhag shaadi ki sari tayyari ho chuki hai. Paise ki koi kami nhi hai Vikrant kamata bhi acha hai aur maa baap ka ek lota santan hai toh yeh sab property bhi uski. Thari sari baat manta hai aur kiya chahiye? Itni muskil se thari baba sa ko manaya ki Geetanjali ki jagah Tera vyah karwa de Vikrant ke sath aab tu mahri mehnat par pani na pher. " Damini dismissed Divya

"Par mom think about the money...... Vikrant has lots of money but Kartavya has loads" Divya tried to influence Damini

"Woh thare ko chinta karne ki zarurat nhi......aur jaa yahan se mahro sar mein dard se"
