DESTINY

Chapter 40(A)

Dadi- Come Anika, it's your first karvachouth as our Shivay's better half. Shivay you have to feed her with your own hands. First you two start.

Shivay- Yes Dadi.

Shivay made her eat slowly and patiently and in between himself had 4-5 bites of the sargi stealthily.

As usual nothing is hidden from Obros.

Om- Shivay why are you eating sargi. Are you keeping the fast for Anika too?

Now everyone attention was on him.
Shivay- No... No... I'm...not. What are you talking about Om. Why would I keep fast? I mean me and fast. I was just hungry.
He said lying.

Anika- You Theif Singh Oberoi, why are you eating my food. Now that you have eaten, you will be punished. You have to keep the fast too.

Pinki- Oh My Mata Anika, Shivay is a man and mens don't keeps Karvachouths.

Anika was going to argue but before that Dadi announced,
Dadi- Shivay will keep the fast. Why only my daughter in laws has to remain hungry for the whole day? They are doing it for the long lives of their husband ,so it's a duty of Oberoi men to honor them by doing the same for their respective wife to have a long life too.

Shivay nodded pretending to be sad about it but he was real happy that he doesn't have to pretend now.

Jhanvi-- Om you too think about it, Ishana is keeping the fast for you.... You should also do it for her.

Om- OK mom. I will.

Rudra- My poor brothers and father. Thank god I don't have a girlfriend or wife. Me Prinku and Somu are safe.

Om (hit his head)-- Open your eyes. Look at them you Dumb Singh Oberoi.

Rudra(panicked)- Somu why are you having this food? You are keeping the fast!! Do you have a boyfriend? Or worse do you have a husband that I don't know about? How could you do this to me Somu? I mean I m your best friend.

Saumya- Yes Rudy, I keep this fast every year. Unfortunately I haven't found anyone yet. My grandma says that I will get a good life partner if I keep these fasts. So, yes.

Rudra- Then I will keep it. I too want a good life partner. Scoot Somu, share it with me. How will you eat so much alone?
He said shifting beside Saumya.

Priyanka- Even I am keeping it this year.
She blushed thinking of a certain ACP.

Anika understood what she was thinking and winked at her.

Dadi-- Now Pinki give your Daughter in law the Shagun. Anika this Shagun contain the things which you have to wear at night during Pooja.

Anika accepted the gift wrapped boxes from Pinki as the gift.

Evening
6.30 pm

Whole Oberoi Mansion was glowing with the decorations for the celebration.

Some ladies were also invited from Dadi Jhanvi and Pinki's circle.

1st lady- Pinki where is your DIL? I haven't seen her after Shivay marriage? You didnt even invite us in any of the post marital functions?

Pinki- Something came up so, we didn't invite anyone except family.

She said to avoid the topic.

2nd lady- Jhanvi you only call her and introduce us. Pinki wants to hide her beautiful all rounder DIL away from us so we don't get jealous.

Both Oberoi ladies smiled uncomfortably thinking what to do.

Jhanvi- You guys stop harassing my devrani. You have to wait to see her. Meet the new Oberoi addition our daughter in law during the Pooja at night. Excuse us we will be back in a while ladies.
