Ratika was going towards the arrival exit of the airport and was searching in the crowd carrying the placards for her name and suddenly she heard someone shouting Ratika Agarwal..... she turned towards the person and found a man of nearly 50 years standing in driver uniform carrying a placard mentioning her name. She approached him and gave her introduction to him. He told her that he is here to receive her and entire family is waiting for her back at home as they have arranged a puja (religious celebrations) to welcome her.
She gave all her luggage to him and sit in the car and asked his name.
He replied that he is Shyam singh and he is working as the driver with her family from last 25 years. She was very happy and began asking number of questions regarding her family members, their names,professions etc.
She was surprised to learn that her family is one of top 10 rich and prestigious family of the region and they are well known and highly respected family of the region. She never heard of them earlier, her mother informed her about her lineage only after the death of her father.
She was in her la la land when she heard the voice of shyam singh ..... bitiya we have reached.
She observed around and was astonished to see the big white mansion surrounded by a beautiful farm and a big driveway with a beautiful fountain.
She was awestruck after seeing the 12 cars of all the top models parked there.
Suddenly a very elegant and beautiful lady clad in white saree and beautiful pearl jewelry hugged her and start shoving blessings on her and kissed her on her forehead. She was confused than when a teenage boy comes and informed her that ..... the lady is her grandmother and is extremely happy to meet her granddaughter for the first time. On hearing this Ratika greet her grandmother and kissed her hand to show the respect towards her. The boy introduced himself as viraj , the son of her father's younger brother . They happily hugged each other and soon she was Introduced with her three uncles, their wives, two buajis (father's sisters), their husbands and waiting queue of her 12 cousins (9 brothers and 3 cute sisters). She was happy as well shocked to meet such a big and welcoming family. She was not able to find the reason as to why she was kept away from such a wonderful family for such a long time.
She was given an extremely beautiful room. It had a big king size round shaped bed with red silk bedsheet. The room was divided into three parts ...... on entering we can see the sitting area with sofa for 5 and a center table with a couch on the other side of sofa. In the second part there was a study table with a shelf and a safe and third part had the bed , a walkin closet , big bathroom with inbuilt jacuzzi and sauna. Every corner of the room was shouting the richness and class.
After getting settled and freshed Ratika went downstairs to have lunch with her family.
