chapter 10
Her claim
Jeevika's POV.
I don't understand what Life wants from me. Everything is so messed up. I have to say yes to marry Vidhyut because I don't want to lose my maa. I have already lost my Papa. I don't even remember how he used to look. Only seen his photos. Which maa showed.
For Mumma I have said yes to marry Vidhyut. But I don't know how I will be in this relationship. Because I don't know how marriage works. I have never seen any married couples. I have only my maa who was a single mother. There was no single relative we had. Because After papa's death the father 's family doesn't want us. Thinking that we will be a burden on them and for Maa's side also. They thought that mom would ask for money from them so they stopped talking to us. After that when Maa got a job she also never contended back. Saying we don't need someone who was not there for us when we were emotionally weak. And thought of us as a burden. So practically we don't have anyone.
I never thought that I would get married this soon. It doesn't mean that I don't want to marry. I also want to marry someday. Because I want to fall in love. I want to take care of someone. Also want someone who will take care of me. I want to know how it feels to be in love. I want to have my own family.
But not this soon. I always thought that I will study hard and will make my maa proud. First I want to be independent. Then this marriage and love was on the list. But now I think life doesn't work, list and plan vise.
But this is so unfair of life. If it wants me to get married then it should give me a fair chance. Fair chance doesn't include Vidhyut. Because I don't mind getting married to him. He is a good person. Respect and care for everyone. Also I didn't tell him but I found him handsome also. Ohh god My husband is so handsome. I blushed at that thought.
But then pouted. You know I was talking about how life is unfair. So I mean to say that if it wanted to get me married. At least she should give me a fair chance as in, I also want everything they show in movies and stories. I want that dholl-nagara, beautiful lehenga, barat, good food, pandit ji, mangalsutra, and so many red bangles. Ahhh this is so unfair. I just don't want to get married by signing some papers.
With pout I entered inside Maa's ward. She was resting. As soon as she saw me she tried to sit up.
" Maa what are you doing? You need a rest."
" I am resting only jeevi from the last somany hours."
" But that's not enough, you must rest more. Also I have news which will encourage you to rest more. "
" means?"
" Means you want me to get married right? Then I am ready to marry Vidhyut. He went to take something. Also his assistant will be here a few times with marriage papers. We will sign them and will be married. Now I am doing what you want me to do then you must also do what I want you to do and that is rest. Also you will go to London without further discussion as he is arranging things for you. "
" Sorry Beta you have to sacrifice your dreams & your life for me. I am a very bad mother."
" Maa, why are you saying this? You are the best mother. Also I am not sacrificing anything. He promised me that he will get me admission in whichever college I like and I trust him maa."
" Jeevi I knowâ¦."
" Maa don't take tension."
" Are pagal ladki let me finish at least."
I bite my tongue at that remark and Said,
"Ohh sorry, Continue."
" I was saying that marriage is not in your plan. But beta give this relationship a fair chance. Try to love him. Let me tell you one thing. He is not the person he shows. I know he pretended to be happy. But he is not. You know he is not having anyone for himself, to love him, to care for him, to consider him as his own. So beta try to understand him also. He was all alone in his life so now that you are marrying him makes him happy also."
" Don't worry maa. I don't know why you are saying that he doesn't have anyone. And he is not happy. But I swear I will make him happy. I will love and will care for him. And till now he may not have anybody but now he has me. Also I will give this relationship a fair chance. Now he is mine. And will only be mine. "
***********
Author's POV.
Vidhyut was going to enter the room but when he listened Jeevika was talking about him. He Stopped there and listened to what she was saying. When she said that she will give this relationship a fair chance he will become happy. Also when she said that he is now hers he shook her head and her possessiveness. She still doesn't love him. And so possessive about him. What will she do when she loves him?
He entered the room. Radha smiled at him. He stood beside Jeevika and asked about Radha's health. Which she replied positively. Just then his assistant Vihaan entered with the marriage papers and lawyer. They greeted him.
" Is everything ready?" He asked
" Yes, sir, the marriage papers are ready," Vihaan replied.
" Sir, you just have to sign this paper. I will handle the rest of the procedure."
" Hmm," he hummed at them and turn towards Jeevika and asked,
" Are you ready Jeevika"
" Yes, I am." She smiles at him.
Though she is nervous and still coming with the fact that she is getting married. But still maintains a smile as she doesn't want to saw that, especially not in front of the Vidhyut's employee. As she doesn't want to doubt them or him that they are doing it for the situation.
Vidhyut first took paper from the lawyer and read. Then both of them signed them and returned.
" Congratulations sir, mam for your marriage. I will complete further procedures."
" Thank you. Mr. Khandelwal for making it ready in short notice."
" It's ok sir. If you want anything else please tell me."
" No problem Mr. Khandelwal. I'll see you in the office."
He left from there. After that Vihaan spoke,
" Sir, as you instructed, everything in London is ready. Also I have informed Martha Aunty about Mrs. Vashisht. She will go to the hospital every day in case Mrs. Vashisht needs anything. Also she will renovate one room on the ground floor of your Villa so that Mrs. Vashisht can go there anytime."
" Good. What about Jet?"
" Sir, it is getting ready. But will be able to take off on early morning 5. "
" No problem. But you should go there and check everything personally. I know you are overworking. But just for today and tomorrow. Once everything falls into place you take leave if you want. "
" No sir, you have done a lot for me. In Front of it, what I am doing is nothing. I will take your leave now. And congratulations sir mam for your marriage."
Vidhyut nodded at him. And Vihaan went from there. After he went Radha spoke,
" You are doing so much for me. How will I be able to pay for it?"
" Radha Auntyâ¦." He was cut by her,
" Maa." Looking at his confused face she spoke,
" You always wanted to call me Maa right. Now you can do it with full right. As you married to jeevi."
He became emotional listening to this and said,
" Now that you are my Maa and I am your son/SIL. You have full right to use what is mine and no need to thank me."
She smiled but someone couldn't able to smile and control so she asked,
"But why will he call you maa?"
" Because Jeevi now that he is married to you, I am becoming his mother too."
" Hooo you didn't tell me this before. This is so cheating. You should have told me that before."
" This is not a game that we cheated in. Also don't behave rude. I am his mother now. You do one thing: go get me water."
She looked here and there and then said,
" But there is no water here. Bottle is empty."
" That is what I am telling you. Go and refill it. "
" Vidhyut you go."
" No jeevi you go. I asked you. "
She pouted at her mother and took bottle and looked Vidhyut showed him tongue and went from there while muttering,
" Shadi karte hi maa ne to team hi badal Li. And this Vidhyut I will see him later. Maa will go to London tomorrow morning then he will be here with me all alone."
Vidhyut chuckled at her. Once she left Radha spoke,
" Did you see Vidhyut how childish she is? That is why I want her to get married. If something happens to me I want to be sure that she is safe and there is someone who will care for her. I know you are very understanding but please look after her. She is 18 but behaves like an 8 sometimes. Also very possessive about her things. If something happens pls forgive me."
" Maa don't worry. I am here and I will take care of everything."
Once jeevika returns they chit chat for sometime. Then Vidhyut recessive message. He smiled looking at that and said,
" Let go Jeevi, we have to go."
" But I want to stay with Maa. "
" This is not possible Jeevi. Because she needs to rest. And you should also rest for sometime. As we have to go to Airport to drop her."
As soon as she heard about Airport her face lit up. She gave him full smile and asked,
" Will I go to drop her?"
" Yes, baccha, but before that you have to take some rest."
" Ok. Maa I will come to drop you ok."Â She said with all excitement.
After that Vidhyut took her hand in his and started walking after taking Radha's permission. With Jeevika telling him how happy she is that he will take her to the Airport. Once they left Radha prayed for both of her kids' happy future.
Vidhyut took her to Mandir. Looking at Mandir she asked getting confused,
" Why are we here? Aren't we going home? What will we do in Mandir?"
" Aree sant meri Rajdhani express sant, come with me inside."
She pouted at his remak of Rajdhani express. But went inside with him. Once they entered he spoke,
" I know you wanted to get married properly. I can't fulfill every wish of yours now only. But I'm still trying to do as many as I can. Pandit di will help us to get married religiously in front of God. We can take phera and I can fill your mang and tie mangalsutra around your neck. But I can't arrange a lehenga for you, sorry."
She became emotional about this and hugged him.
" This is more than enough. I am so happy. Thank you so much. You are the best. Also you know I will be a unique bride who got married in jeans. Now I don't want a lehenga. I am happy in this jeans."
Once they settled and Pandit ji started mantara. They got married with all the rituals. Once they are done. They took blessings from God and left them.
He took her to Rathore Mansion. As soon as they reached she asked,
" Is this your house?"
" No, this is my friend's house. I didn't tell him anything till now. But I want to tell him now. I don't want to hide anything from him now. He was always there for me. So he has all the right to know about my marriage."
" I think he is very important to you."
" Yes, he is the most important person in my life. When there was nobody for me that time he was with me. Come let's go."
Once he reached the entrance he rang the doorBell. In Rathore Mansion everyone was present in the hall as they were having some fun. So Abhimaan opened the door as he was not involved with everyone who were playing games.
But as soon as he opened the door he froze at his place.
So here is the new update.
How do you think everyone will react knowing about Vidhyut's marriage?
