Veer and Aditi return home,
Aditi's eyes sparkled with excitement as she narrated to Veer's dadi, who sat by the fireplace, the latest chapter in her life's journey.
"dadi, you won't believe it! I got into medical college!"
Aditi beamed, her voice ringing with joy.
dadi, listened intently, her eyes crinkling with a smile that spoke volumes of pride and happiness for her beloved granddaughter-in-law.
With animated gestures, Aditi shared the tale of her first visit to Veer's office,
She recounted how Veer had stood by her side, helping her navigate the legal complexities to regain her late grandfather's cherished property.
Veer, watching the two most important women in his life laugh and share stories, felt a warmth in his heart that radiated through his whole being.
As the evening sun bathed the room in a golden glow, dadi suddenly turned serious.
"Accha, Aditi beta, you must go to your father's house for the pagphera ritual,"
she said gently, breaking the jovial atmosphere. Aditi's smile faltered, a shadow passing over her face.
Aditi's father was not a man, but a monster in human form. Memories of his cruelty and abuse haunted her, casting a dark cloud over her happiness. Veer, ever observant of Aditi's emotions, sensed her fear and anger rising like a storm.
"Dadi, is it really necessary for Aditi to go there? I can't bear to see her face that monster,"
Veer's voice was tinged with protectiveness and anger.
"I understand your concern, Veer beta, but the rituals must be honored,"
dadi replied, her voice holding a mixture of understanding and sorrow.
Before Veer could protest further, Aditi spoke up, her voice surprisingly steady.
"It's okay, dadi. We'll go,"
she said, her eyes meeting Veer's in silent reassurance. Veer felt a surge of gratitude and admiration for the strength and resilience of his wife.
Veer's sigh was heavy with both relief and worry.
"Thank you, beta, and I'm sorry for putting you through this,"
dadi said, her eyes reflecting a deep sense of remorse.
"It's okay, dadi,"
Aditi whispered, her hand reaching out to grasp dadi's wrinkled fingers in a gesture of comfort and solidarity.
Upon retiring to their room,
Veer spoke softly to Aditi, offering to shield her from the impending visit if she wished.
"Aditi if you don't want to go there tell me I'll handle dadi"
"Veer, I respect the rituals, and I want everything in our marriage to be complete. Besides, I want to see my mother,"
Aditi replied, her voice unwavering despite the underlying fear.
Veer, admiring Aditi's fortitude, assured her,
"Don't worry, Aditi. This will be the last time you have to endure that place. Tomorrow, your father's world will crumble, his arrogance stripped bare as his recklessness leads to ruin. His house will be auctioned, and he will face the consequences of his actions."
Veer's smirk held a hint of satisfaction at the impending downfall of Aditi's tyrannical father.
Though Aditi harbored no sympathy for her monster of a father, her thoughts drifted to her mother, trapped in the clutches of an abusive marriage. Veer, attuned to her emotions, offered reassurance,
"Do not fear for your mother, Aditi. She will be safe. We will ensure that she is taken care of."
She smiled.
"Thank you veer for everything"
"I can do everything to bring a smile on my wife's face"
She blushed lightly as he addressed her as his wife.
He smirked seeing her red cheeks.
"Don't blush like this, I can't guarantee the words I said yesterday"
She looks down on shyness making him chuckle.
"VEER...!!!!"
"Okay okay don't blush like this, let's go"
She nodded.
Veer and Aditi arrived at Aditi's home for the traditional pagphera ritual, a significant event that often brought both joy and anxiety to Aditi's heart.
As they stood at the doorstep, Aditi felt a wave of emotions washing over her. Memories of her abusive father loomed in her mind like shadows from the past, causing her heart to race and her palms to grow sweaty.
Yet, the strong grip of Veer's hand in hers provided a sense of reassurance, a beacon of light amidst the darkness of her fears.
"Aditi, I am with you. Your father will not be able to harm you in any way. I promise,"
Veer whispered, his voice like a soothing melody in the chaos of her thoughts. Aditi looked into his eyes, filled with unwavering support and love, and felt a sense of calm wash over her. With a small smile, she nodded in gratitude.
"Let's face this together,"
Veer said softly, his voice a source of strength for her fragile soul.
As they entered the house, Aditi's mother, a kind and gentle soul, greeted them with open arms. Her warm smile radiated love and warmth, dispelling the dark clouds that had gathered over Aditi's mind.
Aditi embraced her mother tightly, feeling the familiar comfort of a mother's embrace.
"How are you, Mumma?"
Aditi asked, her voice filled with both love and concern.
"I am fine, my dear. And now that you are here, I am more than fine. Come, come, Veer.
her mother said, her eyes filled with tears of joy at the sight of her beloved daughter and her caring husband.
Veer and Aditi exchanged a glance, their hearts intertwined in a bond forged through love and understanding...!!!!
Seated around the familiar confines of the family living room, Veer and Aditi were offered glasses of water, a simple yet profound gesture signifying acceptance and hospitality.
Their conversation with Aditi's mother was interrupted by a thunderous voice that sent shivers down Aditi's spine.
"VEER RAJVANSH!"
The sheer force of Aditi's father's bellow echoed through the room, triggering a primal fear within her.
Clutching Veer's hand with desperation, Aditi watched in silent dread as her father, a brooding figure of menace, strode towards them.
His hands, coated with the venom of past transgressions, latched onto Veer's collar in a menacing grip.
"How dare you, Veer Rajvansh! You have ruined me, bankrupted me," her father seethed with unfettered rage, his eyes ablaze with malice.
"LEAVE THE BLOODY COLLAR...!!!!" Veer roared.
Her father left his collar in fear.
In a stunning display of defiance, Veer's voice cut through the tense atmosphere, his words dripping with controlled fury.
"First of all, Mr. Malhotra, yes, I made you bankrupt. Do you know why? Because I can set the world ablaze for the ones I love, and I love my wife beyond measure. I cannot bear to see even a single scratch on her being. You, with your despicable actions, have torn apart her dreams and scarred her soul."
Aditi, caught in a whirlwind of emotions, braced herself for the inevitable clash between her past and present. Her father, blinded by his own ego, attempted to spew accusations and venomous retorts, only to be met with Veer's unwavering gaze of resolve.
"Only one day of your marriage and you started filling his ears making me bad"
He was about to hit her she was ready to take the slap but she didn't felt any pain, she opened her eyes and saw veer holding her father's hand.
"Do not even think of raising your hand against my wife,"
Veer's words sliced through the air like a sharp blade, his protectiveness transforming into a shield of steel around Aditi.
As her father recoiled in the face of Veer's unyielding stance, a glimmer of hope sparked within Aditi's heart.
The man she once feared had become her savior, her avenger, standing tall against the tyrant who sought to break her spirit. In a moment of raw vulnerability, she opened her eyes, expecting pain but finding only Veer's steadfast grip on her father's arm.
"Don't ever dare to challenge my authority as her protector. If you provoke me further, bankruptcy will be the least of your worries. Next time, I won't hesitate to take drastic measures,"
Veer's voice boomed with a thunderous authority, his eyes flashing with a primal ferocity that sent tremors through her father's facade of bravado.
In a surprising turn of events, Veer made a declaration that shook Aditi's world to its core.
"From this day forth, your mother will reside with us at the Rajvansh mansion," Veer's words bore the weight of a promise, a vow to protect and cherish not just Aditi but also the woman who had nurtured her. Aditi's mother, torn between loyalty and fear, hesitated, only to be reassured by Veer's unwavering resolve,
"Mother, I am your son in law, but I consider myself a son to you. A mother be
longs with her son, under his care and protection."
Aditi, her eyes brimming with tears of gratitude, looked at Veer with renewed admiration and love....!!!!!
