chapter 69

At the end of the last part of the story you read... Just then, Lalit sees that Geeta is coming towards him from the kitchen with a glass of water and a cup of tea in a tray .......Now onwards.......Lalit was staring at Geeta with wide eyes in anger. Geeta quietly puts water and tea on the tea table and goes towards the kitchen.Neither Lalit nor Geeta says anything. Lalit picks up the glass of water and starts drinking.Lalit wonders what must be going on in Geeta's mind?  Maybe mummy must have explained it to her? That's why she is not saying anything right now. After Prateek's family leaves, maybe Mahabharata will start."Lalit drinks tea and goes to his room. Geeta was preparing food in the kitchen with her mother-in-law.Neha was massaging her face with face wash in her room. She had to look good in front of her in-laws today. She was looking very happy today. She could hear the tune of guitar in her ears. She had put music on her mobile.Around 9:00 pm, Lalit's brother and his father come home from the petrol pump and go to their respective rooms to freshen up.Last night, Lalit's father came back from the petrol pump with snacks, cold drinks, biscuits, sweets, chocolates, bananas, apples and other types of fruits.Around 10:00 pm, Lalit and his family get ready and sit on the sofa in the hall. Everyone was talking only about Prateek's family and Prateek-Neha. Neha is very beautiful.  was visible. Half an hour later, two cars stop in front of Lalit's house. In one car are Pratik, Pratik's father, brother and mother. In the other car are Pratik's married sister, her brother-in-law and Pratik's nephew and niece.Let us recall the details of Pratik and his family once again:Pratik Patel belongs to a Gujarati family, who works as a senior clerk in BPL Software Private Limited. His father "Hansmukh Patel" worked as a "section officer" in the accounts section of a government hospital, his mother is a housewife.Prateek's elder sister, "Bhumika Patel" is a married, 27-year-old, fair and beautiful woman, mother of two children, a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. Bhumika's husband "Vaibhav Patel" has the biggest clothes shop in Sector 7 market of Rohini. Prateek's brother "Pratul Patel" was studying in the second year of B.Sc. Computer Science.Hearing the sound of cars, Lalit, Lalit's father, mother and Geeta come out of the house to welcome them. Lalit had not seen Bhumika's husband before, seeing the young man getting out of the driving seat of another car, Lalit understands that this must be Bhumika's husband.Everyone comes inside, Prateek was looking handsome, he becomes happy to see Neha, Neha was looking very beautiful. Bhumika hugs Neha, she had brought a gift for Neha with her, a "shoot with Gujarati Kutch artwork". Bhumika gives Neha a gift and takes her to her room. She removes Neha's clothes and makes her wear a Gujarati dress. Neha looks very beautiful in that dress, she looks like a Gujarati girl.Gita and her mother-in-law give snacks, cold drinks, biscuits, sweets to everyone, and chocolates to the children along with sweets.When Neha brings Bhumika to the hall, everyone is happy to see her, everyone likes her Gujarati look. Pratik just keeps looking at her.On the other hand, Lalit keeps looking at Bhumika only after getting a glimpse of his sister. Lalit was laughing and joking while talking to Bhumika's two children along with Rimjhim.Pratik's father and Lalit's father agree that Pratik and Neha should apply for court marriage on the next Monday and get married a week later at Pratik's house according to Gujarati tradition.Rimjhim and Bhumika's children became friends. Rimjhim starts showing them all the toys kept in her grandfather's house. Here, on one side Bhumika, Geeta, Pratik and Pratik's brother Pratul and on the other side Neha, Lalit, Bhumika's husband Vaibhav and Lalit's brother Rajesh, get divided into two groups and laugh and joke with each other. Pratul makes fun of Neha by calling her Bhabhi, sometimes in Hindi and sometimes in Gujarati. Neha does not know Gujarati, she gets upset and irritated and asks Pratik or Vaibhav. Pratik gives her all the wrong translations and makes Neha cry. Bhumika's husband was on Neha's side. He used to give the correct translation of Pratul's Gujarati words. Then Neha scolds Pratik a lot. Geeta and Lalit were seen avoiding each other's conversation and were not even making eye contact, but during their meeting full of fun and jokes, everyone noticed that Bhumika and Lalit were talking to each other, smiling and taking interest in each other.It is time for lunch, first of all the children are fed, after that, Geeta, Geeta's mother-in-law and Bhumika come to the kitchen and start serving food to everyone and then everyone eats together.Even during the meal, everyone can see Bhumika favouring Lalit, but understanding Bhumika's open-hearted nature, the family members ignore it, but Geeta, Lalit and their family are unable to digest this...To be Continued ........
