Until I Met You

Chapter 63| Acceptance

Suhana:"Maa what are those traits you are searching for in your second daughter in law?"(Arohi looked at Tanvi who blinked her eyes in reassurance before they both turned their focus on Ashiwarya as if wanting to know her answer)

Ashiwarya:"Ohh well she should be kindhearted and soft spoken. She should respect family and know it's values. She should bond with our family and shows efforts to genuinely be a part of us. She should be hardworking and independent. She should love Adi with all her heart and well how do i explain it.. ..(She looked around the room to see everyone listening with great interest especially Arohi and Aditya making her smile inside) Well Yeah.. A personality and nature like Arohi would be of great match for my Adi."

As soon as she said that a bright smile came upon Aditya's face while a relief fled through Arohi's body and a grin came upon Tanvi and the rest of the gangs face. But the next words of Ashiwarya took away this reaction just as soon as it come.

Ashiwarya:"Oh where will i find a girl like Arohi. I have so much to search. Aru baccha would you help me find a perfect girl for Adi?"(She asked innocently while all Arohi could do was stare at her blankly)

Arohi:"I.. Aunty.. Actually.. I.."

Ashiwarya:"What beta tell me na?"

Aditya:"Maa.... You said all the traits you want are in arohi right?"

Ashiwarya:"Yes "

Aditya:"Then.."

Tanvi:"Umm then why not her aunty?"(She spoke unable to handle the face of her sister)

Ashiwarya:"Of course I would love to. Arohi is so sweet and the best. But what can we do. It would be unfair to both of them. They don't like each other. Thats why we need to find the best bride who is like Arohi.( turning to Rohit)"Rohit today only i will start uploading Adi's bio data and.."

Aditya's mothers voice seemed to disappear in the background as the thought of another girl in Aditya's life filled in Arohi's mind. The wave of multiple emotions hit her as her eyes started to numb a little. Aditya looked at Arohi and one look into her eyes and he understood her fears. He couldn't let this continue. He had to do what was necessary. He can't hurt Arohi like this. She looked so vulnerable right now and he knew no one else was able to tell it but he could read her like an open book and he knew so could Tanvi as he saw Tanvi keep her hand on Arohi's shoulder trying to assure her.

Aditya:(firmly)"Maa"(While still looking at Arohi as everyone looked at him)

Ashiwarya:(turning to Aditya)"yes beta?"(She knew exactly that her plan was 99% complete now)

Aditya:(turning to his mother with the same firmness in his eyes)"Maa make Arohi only your daughter in law na. You asked me if i like some or not right? Back then i didn't.  But now. now i do. I love Arohi maa. I want her as my life partner. I want to share the same beautiful bond with her that you and dad have, that Suhana bhabhi and Bhai have. I want her as my wife and life partner and no one else. I love her maa. I really do so please. Accept us."

Arohi's eyes watered and all the emotions thats she was holding in fled out through one drop of tear. She kept looking at Aditya without blinking. This man in front , Her man, was amazing. She had never imagined that things would come out like this. But as if now she didn't mind it at all. All her mind was on was her man. His words and his love that was clear as crystal in his firm voice.

Ashiwarya stayed silent for a few minutes with not expression what so every on her face as she looked towards Aditya while everyone waited for an response in curiosity that was killing them and the suspense that was overloaded in the silence. Then Ashiwarya turned her direction to Arohi. She stood up from her spot and went near Arohi.
