"There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart"- Saubhaagyashree Gupta.
In the mansion of Sharma family:-
The members who didn't accompany others to Gupta family, gathered in the dining room in the evening to spend their quality time with the cups of coffee in presence of their dear ones.
Nabhayu:- Grandma, I everything would be fine there! Bhaiya won't show his anger on bhabhi which he had suppressed under his veins for years because of Ishita!
Sumitra:- I also hope for the same, dear! But, I believe in Arjun! He is an understandable boy, I think, he won't behave like that! It's absolutely meaningless to show someone's anger on someone else!
Kamalakshi:- Bhaiya is understandable for sure, but Ishita is such a headache for him! Even we also feel disgusted in her presence. She is so pretentious and I don't know how to explain her personality! How can someone become like this, Nabhayu? If we are feeling this much irritated then, just think, how Arjun bhaiya is handling her!
Samesh:- Bhabhi, that's absolutely true! But, bhaiya can simply ignore it, right? Of course, he isn't a kid that he will give proper importance to each and every single thing or I would rather say problem in his life just to know about the depth of the problem which is even not important for him!
Vaijayanti:- It's easy to tell everything, Samesh! But to be practical, we can't ignore all the things so easily! The most unwanted and terrible incidents in our lives come rotating in front of us through our memories again and again! We can't escape it!
Abhiram:- Moreover, don't forget, Samesh that Manish uncle is papa's friend and business partner! So, will it be very easy to push his daughter away from bhaiya? No, it's not that easy!
Sumitra:- Exactly! Just because, they had left for Saudi Arabia that's why, we can plan for the marriage of Arjun and Saubhaagya so easily! Otherwise, only God knows what would happen!
Rajendra:- All of your arguments are right! But, truth is truth, it can't be hidden! The way Arjun reacted after watching the photos of Saubhaagya, my goodness! I don't know the language to do justice with expressions for it! He will never reject this proposal, maa! Don't worry! Everything is going to be perfect and pleasant in precise!
Kavya:- So true! Believe in the Almighty! Arjun would never do any such thing which will decrease his or his family members self esteem in front of others and forget about insulting any girl, he is farther than farthest away from even that word!
In the evening:-
In the house of Gupta family:-
All the family members had already got up from their midday nap. So, their awakening moments could have been proved dangerous for Arjun and Saubhaagyashree. Though the only fortunate incident for the would be couple was that none of the elders searched for them till the time. Meanwhile, in the secret chamber of the roof, both of them had almost completed their exchange of thoughts and feelings without the anxiety of passing away of time.
Suddenly, while talking, Saubhagyashree's eyes fell on the dark overview of the outside through the window. She stopped in between those discussions with the thought of time.
Saubhaagyashree:- What is the time now?
Arjun:- It's 7:15 pm.
Saubhaagyashree:- Now, we should go out of this chamber! If the elders get to know about this secret meeting without their permission, they will surely scold us!
Arjun:- Can't we please spend some extra time here? I don't wish to go so soon! Please! Just for few minutes! Please don't reject this proposal!
Saubhaagyashree:- But, Arjun, what about....
Arjun:- I know that the elders may get to know about our secret meeting due to our delay! But, I am not asking for hours, only few minutes! Please Saubhaagya!
Saubhaagyashree:- I have forgot to bring my phone here! How shall I inform the children to open the door?
Arjun:- I have my phone with me! You can call them with this!
Saubhaagyashree:- In the free time, the children use to be in my room to spend their quality time! So, as of now, they are also there in my chamber! If you call in my phone, they will surely pick up thd phone call! Let me tell you the phone number and then, please inform them about opening the door!
Arjun:- You can call them by yourself! Take this!
Saubhaagyashree:- No, no, it's okay! I don't want to break open into anyone's privacy! I am telling you the number!
Arjun:- As you wish!
Saubhaagyashree told him her phone number and according to it, Arjun dialed the number. After ringing for some time, the children picked up the phone call.
📞📞𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Hello!
𝕬𝖗𝖏𝖚𝖓:- Hello Preeti!
𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Hello angel! You have called! Do you want to tell anything?
𝕬𝖗𝖏𝖚𝖓:- Your bua wants to tell you something, dear! Hold on! Let me give her the phone!
𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Okay! I am waiting!
Arjun handed over the phone to Saubhaagyashree, so that; she could instruct the children to open the door as soon as possible.
𝕾𝖆𝖚𝖇𝖍𝖆𝖆𝖌𝖞𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊:- It's already very late, Preeti! Come and unlock the door immediately!
𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Bua, you must forgive us, but we can't go to the roof now! All the elders have awaked from their midday nap and now, all of the rooms of our house is filled with their presence! If we try to go to the roof now, we will surely be caught red handed! Moreover, maa and papa are present in the corridor for the preparation of evening prayers, chacha and chachi are in the kitchen for the preparation of evening snacks, grandpa and grandma are in the dining room to redecorate the tea table for the arrival of the priests! Now you tell, how will we go to the roof without being noticed by them? But, we can take risks, then also there is problem! They will start overshowering endless questions to us, then; along with us, both of you will also be punished!
𝕾𝖆𝖚𝖇𝖍𝖆𝖆𝖌𝖞𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊:- But within few minutes, the family priests will arrive in the house! If we won't remain present at that time, that will be a devastating massacre, dear!
𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Don't worry, bua! I have heard from grandpa, that the priests are not arriving so soon! There is still one or one and half hours left for their arrival, as they have other special veneration in Lord Shiva's temple! That's why, it will take much time for them and we will also get some time to open the door secretively!
𝕾𝖆𝖚𝖇𝖍𝖆𝖆𝖌𝖞𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊:- Are you sure about this?
𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Yes bua! We are hundred percent sure! Please don't be anxious!
𝕾𝖆𝖚𝖇𝖍𝖆𝖆𝖌𝖞𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊:- Okay madam! I won't be anxious!
𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Bua, please inform this to angel also!
𝕾𝖆𝖚𝖇𝖍𝖆𝖆𝖌𝖞𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊:- Definitely dear! I will tell him everything!
𝕾𝖆𝖒𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖙𝖎:- Now, permit me to cut the call!
𝕾𝖆𝖚𝖇𝖍𝖆𝖆𝖌𝖞𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖗𝖊𝖊:- Okay! ☎☎
After cutting the phone call, Saubhaagyashree told everything to Arjun. As soon as he heard the news, his happiness knew no bounds. The glittering satisfactory smile of extreme gratification was reflecting his fulfilled desire.
Saubhaagyashree:- It seems that your joy is boundless by hearing this!
Arjun:- Of course! Who won't be happy after the fulfilment of their heartfelt desire? I am exceedingly happy now!
Saubhaagyashree:- Which wish you are talking about?
Saubhaagyashree tried to test his excitement and enthusiasm with the blending of little joy and teasing session. She changed her facial expressions and tried to mix and match with the situation well. Arjun couldn't even understand that she wasn't intentionally hurting his emotions, it was just for fun.
Arjun:- What are you saying, Saubhaagya? I told you that I want to spend some extra minutes with you and now, the children have said that they will come and open the door after half an hour or more than that! That's why, I am happy as my wish to be with you is going to be fulfilled!
Saubhaagyashree:- But there is nothing to talk more and I don't think that it's needed to do all these! So, I hope you have understood what I am trying to refer!
Arjun (With a sense of guilt):- I didn't ask any precious thing from you, saubhaagya! I have just asked for some time which I want to spend with you!
Saubhaagyashree:- And time, it itself is the most precious thing in our lives! You know what 𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝗞𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗡𝗔 has said in the 𝗕𝗛𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗗 GITA? 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗 said, " 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴 𝙸𝚂 𝙰 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚈 𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙸𝙽 𝙴𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚈𝙾𝙽𝙴'𝚂 𝙻𝙸𝚅𝙴𝚂, 𝚃𝙸𝙻𝙻 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚂𝙸𝚃𝚄𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴, 𝙸𝚃 𝚁𝙴𝙼𝙰𝙸𝙽𝚂 𝙸𝙽 𝙾𝚄𝚁 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚃𝚁𝙾𝙻, 𝚆𝙴 𝚂𝙷𝙾𝚄𝙻𝙳 𝚃𝚁𝚈 𝚃𝙾 𝙼𝙰𝙺𝙴 𝙰 𝙿𝚁𝙾𝙿𝙴𝚁 𝚄𝚂𝙴 𝙾𝙵 𝙸𝚃, 𝙾𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁𝚆𝙸𝚂𝙴, 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴 𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙻 𝙽𝙴𝚅𝙴𝚁 𝚃𝙰𝙺𝙴 𝙼𝚄𝙲𝙷 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴 𝚃𝙾 𝙱𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚄𝚂 𝚄𝙽𝙳𝙴𝚁 𝙸𝚃'𝚂 𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚃𝚁𝙾𝙻!
Arjun:- Am I wasting your precious time? But Saubhaagya, you too were enjoying my company and I wasn't aware this!
Saubhaagyashree:- Actually, I wanted to tell you this before only, but unfortunately I didn't get proper time! It's okay, now; I am telling you!
Arjun (A patch of lachrymose emotion overcrowded in his eyes):- Yes, so true! You don't know me as a person, so; officially I don't have any rights to request you or force you to follow any of my hidden desires! It is completely your choice whether you will be here with me Or not! No, no, it's my mistake! I am extremely sorry, Saubhaagya! I am extremely sorry if I have crossed my boundaries of decency towards you! Please forgive me!
While saying this, Arjun folded his hands and bent down his head by being knelt down before her with a sense of furthermost guilt feeling. Saubhaagyashree was shocked by witnessing his gestures towards her. She was surprised more with his compassionate decency and pleasant personality towards a person whom he met just few hours ago. She understood that Arjun was unaware of the teasing session with she was doing with him and just like an innocent child, he has also taken it seriously assuming it to be his fault only.
Arjun:- I hope, I haven't been inhumane or indecent towards you and if I have done it unknowingly, can you please forgive for that blunder?
Saubhaagyashree:- Arjun! Please stop saying this! Oh my goodness! I didn't expect that these simple words would hurt you like this! I was just teasing with you little bit, but you took it so seriously that you are apologizing and that too by folding your hands in front of me! Please get up!
Arjun was till in surprise of thinking about the nature of words. He stood up in front of her and tried to clear all his doubts.
Arjun:- Were you teasing with me?
Saubhaagyashree:- Yes! I was teasing!
Arjun:- Are you completely sure about it?
Saubhaagyashree:- Yes!
Arjun:- Actually, I couldn't understand it earlier! Did you do it just for fun?
Saubhaagyashree:- Yes!
Arjun:- So, I don't have to apologize for it, right?
Saubhaagyashree:- Yes! Yes! Yes!
Arjun:- Will you marry me?
Saubhaagyashree:- Yes!
By realizing what she had just said, Saubhaagyashree covered her mouth with her palm in the sense of utmost embarrassment.
Arjun (Overwhelming with joy):- Really? Are you ready to marry me?
She looked down by hearing this question. Arjun started giggling just like kid. He couldn't suppress his effusiveness any longer. He came little closer to Saubhaagyashree and by sensing his presence closer, the most successful and eligible lawyer of Supreme Court, against whom no lawyers became ready to fight a case, was shying like a newly wed bride with a contrast of red hues in her cheeks.
Arjun also smiled by witnessing her condition. The next gesture of him coming near her ear had frozen both of their heartbeats.
Arjun (In a husky whispering voice):- Thank you! I have got my answer!
The whole room was standing and witnessing the lovely would be couple who had the new hopes to be united with each other impatiently. There was a pin drop silence in the room. Arjun and Saubhaagyashree bith was staring at each other's eyes with extreme admiration and adoration. Meanwhile, by shattering this wonderful moment, Arjun's phone started ringing. The loud ringtone helped them to come back in the reality. He took out the phone from his pocket and without looking at the name, he just started replying.
📞📞𝕬𝖗𝖏𝖚𝖓:- Hello! Who is this?
𝕽𝖆𝖏𝖊𝖘𝖍:- Arjun, what are you saying? I am your father!
𝕬𝖗𝖏𝖚𝖓:- Papa! Sorry... Sorry, I didn't notice....
𝕽𝖆𝖏𝖊𝖘𝖍:- Keep your excuses aside! Now, tell me, where are you? For half an hour we have been searching for you and Saubhaagya! Both of you are vanished from everyone's sight! What is going on?
𝕬𝖗𝖏𝖚𝖓:- No papa, actually, I have come in the....
𝕽𝖆𝖏𝖊𝖘𝖍:- Wait! Isn't Saubhaagya there with you?
𝕬𝖗𝖏𝖚𝖓:- No papa! She is not here with me!
𝕽𝖆𝖏𝖊𝖘𝖍:- Then, where is she?
Saubhaagyashree sensed something must had happened. She gestured Arjun to tell her who was there in the phone call. Arjun indicated that it was his father. He hurriedly captured the speaker of the phone, so that their conversation wouldn't be audible to his father.
Arjun:- Papa is asking whether you are here with me Or not?
Saubhaagyashree:- Oh no! Now, what?
Arjun:- They have been searching for us for last half an hour! I have to give any false excuse! Otherwise, there is no way out of it!
Saubhaagyashree:- But, if you say that you are outside of the house, maybe in the market or in the garden, then; you have to get out from the house secretly and you will have to enter in front of everyone from the main gate and how will you do that? Don't forget that we are in the roof!
Arjun:- I can slide down by the pipeline of your house!
