Suddenly remembering the letter, he opened the letter and read again.

"To Chote Malik

Shyam Manohar Jha. Take care of Di Malkin"

'Who is this Shyam? And what is it to do with this person and Di? And who is that girl and why is she warning me? And how did she know me?' thoughts are running in his mind. His thoughts got disturbed by his phone call. Seeing house number he answered the call almost immediately.

"Ch...o...t...ee..." he heard his Nani sobbing

"Nani... what's wrong? Why are you crying? Is everything okay? Answer me Nani..." panicked Arnav.

"Cho...tee... Anjali... Anjali..." he heard his mother

"What's wrong with Di..." fear started to grip his heart. He looked at the letter and clutched the letter tightly

"Come home Chote... I can't accept her without your support. I can't see her going against us. Come home Chote..."

"What did she do? Tell me... And where is Dad?" his worry is increasing second by second. Not getting any answer he again said "Okay... fine... I'm coming now. I will be there with in 15 minutes... You don't stress yourself" saying this he rushed out calling Aman to accompany him

"What's wrong ASR?"

Without looking at Aman, Arnav handed over the letter to him and said about Nani's phone call. "I don't know what's going on there. I was just worried. Nobody said anything to me, but asked me to come home immediately"

They drove to Arnav's home in silence. But after entering the hall, what they saw shook them to the core. Arnav felt the land beneath his feet is going away. Aman too was shocked to see the scene in front of him

"Di..." whispered both friends

"Chote..." Arnav's mother rushed to him and hugged him "See Chote... what Anjali did. She got married to a stranger Chote... she didn't even feel to inform us"

"He is not a stranger... he is my husband, my husband Shyam Manohar Jha. I LOVE HIM..." shouted Anjali in frustration.

Both Arnav and Aman stood there shocked by hearing the name. Both looked at each other in utter shock. Arnav's hold on the letter was tightened

"What's wrong with you all? Why are you making this matter a big issue? Why can't you accept my love?" she is angry. She is feeling insulted before her husband. She remembered her husband saying that her family won't accept her choice. She bluntly disagreed with him. She said they will never refuse or reject her choice. She remembered how he said to wait for their permission and how she forced him to marry. She removed the garland from her neck and threw it on the sofa.

"Anjali... watch your tone. Why are you getting irritated? This is not an issue which we can accept with open arms. This is not an issue which we can take it easily" said Nani in high voice

"Why? Why can't you take it easily? When your son eloped with a woman and married her, you accepted it. When your daughter married love of her life you accepted. Then why can't you accept my love, my marriage and my choice?"

"Anjali... those situations are different and this situation is different. Don't compare all or don't mix all. My children never are irresponsible or indiscipline like you. They are perfect and what they did was perfect. I know everything beforehand. Don't dare to show your finger on them. Just answer our questions, why didn't you inform us before?" Nani voice is stern which made Anjali to lose her control

"Who are you to question me? Who gave you the right to show your right on me? First of all why are you staying here? You should be in your son's house, then why are you staying here? I don't give any right to anybody to question me and then who the hell are you?" shouted Anjali, before she says anything more she felt a sharp pain on her cheek. She looked at her side to see her father
