Sitting in the private dining area of the Venice Hotel, Ashank is waiting for Sonakshi. The truth is that he is not waiting for Sonakshi and is busy with his work. Sonakshi hasn't come yet, even though he had clearly said that he would be waiting for her at the hotel at 1:00 PM. It's already 1:20 p.m., but she is not there yet. He glanced at his assistant, Akhil, who quickly grasped the meaning of his gesture. He arranges his lunch with the gesture of his eyes because when he has come here, he will leave only after taking his lunch, and the next moment he calls Sonakshi.

In no time, his continental food is in front of him, and only then is Sonakshi also seen coming to him from the front, seeing that his facial expressions do not change at all. He is just silently eating his food, like her presence didn't affect him.

"Hello… "

He continues with his lunch; she knows him very well. That's why his behavior does not surprise her much; she sits there quietly and starts watching his food. There is nothing new in his food. He prefers continental cuisine and never wants to try other cuisines. She says this while gaining some courage.

"I'm not feeling well; that's why I am late... I am sorry about this.... I know you are busy, but I am actually not feeling well...."

Ashank finds it unnecessary to ask her anything about her health, and while eating his food, he slides the menu card to her so that she can order whatever she wants.

"No thanks, I am dieting... Just juice for me."

Akhil immediately orders for her. Sonakshi and Ashank have known each other since childhood, despite the fact that they don't talk much. But since their marriage alliance was fixed, Sonakshi has tried to talk to him in a nice way many times, but she knows very well what kind of person Ashank is, so nothing about him bothers her much. Ashank adheres strictly to his schedule, and during lunch, he avoids any kind of conversation. Sonakshi, on the other hand, is quietly sipping her juice, but her eyes are fixed on Ashank, a feeling he can sense clearly. Once he completes his meal, he glances at her and speaks.

"Anything important..."

Sonakshi immediately looks at him; he is staring at her, but she refuses by shaking her head, so Ashank gets up from his seat and says to her

"I need to finish all my work today because I have to take leave from the office starting tomorrow. I waited for you for a long time, but you did not come here. However, you are well aware that I always complete my work punctually. I have to attend a very important meeting within 20 minutes, so I am leaving. The driver is outside; he will drop you home."

"I've come in my car; you don't need to worry about anything; I'll drive myself back... And I am sorry to waste your time."

Ashank starts to leave from there, but suddenly stops, takes out a card from his pocket, and gives it to her.

“Maa said that I have to buy a gift for you. I am unable to comprehend all of this information, so you are free to purchase whatever you desire and retain it as a gift. And please tell Maa that you have chosen it yourself, and I got it for you.”

Sonakshi nods slightly and takes the card, and while standing up and looking at him, she says to him:.

"If it's not too much trouble, I need to take out a cash withdrawal. I've already ordered jewelry for myself, but I need to pay in cash because it's my friend's design. She's currently facing a financial crisis, and due to certain problems, we can't transfer the money to the bank."

Ashank turns and looks at her very carefully, and, looking at the card in her hand, says,.

"This card has a balance of up to Rs. 1 crore. If you need more, let me know, and I will get it transferred.

“It is more than enough.”

The very next moment, Ashank turns away and leaves, and Sonakshi just keeps looking at him as he leaves. She looked at the card and kept sitting there.

Jhankar is applying oil to her brother's hair, often pulling it out, which is causing Vyom to shout loudly repeatedly.

"Mom, I am telling you that this girl wants to make me bald; she wants no one to turn back and look at me because I am so handsome compared to her.... She is jealous of my beauty..."

"Of course you are very handsome; who is stopping you from saying this? But you are saying that I am very beautiful, and for this, I do not need your approval."

While saying this, she starts pulling his hair very hard, due to which Vyom shouts and falls down by grabbing her hands. He holds her hair properly but does not pull it at all, due to which Jhankar starts laughing very loudly, and he also starts laughing with her while combing her hair back very lovingly.

"I am unable to pull your hair, even if I wanted to; your hair is so beautiful that I am hesitant to do so."

"All this is the result of my mother’s hard work."

"Same …"

Both of them laugh loudly. Chitrali and Raghunath, who are seated nearby, are elated to witness the affection between their children, and their gaze consistently lingers on the love that blossoms between them following minor disagreements. While sitting on her brother's shoulder, Jhankar immediately said this.

"I have been saying since yesterday that Papa has given you money, so let's go buy a bike. Now that you are not listening to me, you are going to become my car yourself.

Upon hearing her words, everyone burst into laughter, prompting Vyom to stand up, hold her feet firmly, and begin running around. As a result, Jhankar begins to shout loudly, expressing her fear.

"Bro….no….”

But Vyom starts running, laughing loudly. Chitrali also gets scared seeing him run like this because if he loses his balance even a little bit, then Jhankar can get hurt a lot. She knows very well that Vyom himself cannot bear any injury to his sister, which is why he must have held her very carefully. Still, she is scared of seeing her daughter sit on his shoulder. Vyom immediately sits down, smiling, and Jhankar quickly gets down from his shoulders, clings to her father, and says,.

"Papa, this car goes very fast..."

Upon hearing his words, everyone bursts into loud laughter, and Raghunath turns to face Vyom, saying,

"Son, if I gave you the money last night itself, then why haven’t you bought a bike for yourself yet?

"Papa, actually, there was so much work in the office that I didn’t get time to check any bikes, and I don’t want to make any deals in a hurry; that’s why I didn’t buy it today. I won’t buy it tomorrow either; rather, I will first go and check 3 to 4 showrooms, and only after that will I think about buying it the day after tomorrow.”

"It is your wish; the bike is yours, so the choice should also be yours."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If the bike comes late, then I won’t be able to ride it either. You are aware that I have an interview scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Once everything is finalized, I will depart within two days, as they will handle all visa-related matters on the same day, and we all just have to crack the interview.

But Vyom doesn't say anything while smiling, and Raghunath starts lovingly understanding his daughter, who just wants to have fun and trouble her brother.

Ashank does not like to celebrate any kind of ritual, but he does not want to say anything in front of Sharda because Sharda herself is handling all the responsibilities of the marriage very well, so in such a situation, it is not in his power to say anything to her in any way. Despite her awareness of Ashank's distaste for these rituals, she is determined to ensure the marriage proceeds with impeccable rituals, and she is powerless to stop herself.

“I still cannot believe that you are going to become a groom; your marriage is tomorrow; until I see you with your bride tomorrow, I will not believe that you are married.”

“You still treat me as if I am a small child.”

“For people, you may be a very dangerous mafia, but for me, you are my little Akshu, who is never going to grow up. Well, I told you to get Sonakshi something suitable, which you think would be a wonderful gift for her on her first date.”

Ashank cannot hide anything from Sharda, and neither does he like this thing, so he immediately tells her.

“Sonakshi has some jewelry made by her friend. I told her that she need not pay for it; it will be a gift from me.”

"Well, this is even better; at least she will wear something of her choice; anyhow, your choice is very bad."

Upon hearing this, Ashank turns to face her, and she bursts into a loud laugh. She is about to pick up the glass to drink water, but some drops have fallen on it, catching Ashank's attention. After drinking the water, he takes a piece of tissue paper and carefully wipes it on the table. After placing the tissue paper beneath the glass, he carefully places the glass on top of it, to which Sharda attentively observes and responds.

“Your bride is going to be very upset because you find some flaw in every small thing.”

"I have no control over these things. You know that I want everything to be perfect; it may be perfect for others, but until it's perfect for me, I'm not comfortable with it."

Sharda smiles and runs her hand through his hair, smilingly kissing his forehead again while looking at him very well, and this time tears come into his eyes. Ashank can bear everything, but there are no tears in her eyes at all, due to which he immediately holds her hands and says to her:.

“Maa, you know very well that I do not like this thing at all; then why do you do this?”

"You will not understand how thrilled I was when I held you in my arms for the first time. That very day, you became my son. From that day until today, I only dreamed of you becoming a groom. Tomorrow, when you come here with your bride, I will die of happiness."

"Maa, if something happens to you, I will set the whole world on fire."

“Don’t love me so much that you have to do something for me that you don’t want to do, but you have to do it out of compulsion.”

"The whole world is on one side, and you are on the other side for me. If you ask me to slit my throat in front of you, I will do that too. So I never think that I will have to do something that I don’t want to do, and I am doing it only on your advice. So listen to me carefully. Whatever you say is your order, and it is very important for me to listen to your every word."

Sharda is unable to express anything to him; instead, she simply kisses him and maintains a smile on her face because he is the source of her happiness, and she longs to hold onto this love forever. Ashank sits quietly, keeping his head on her knees. She kisses his forehead and says,

"God bless you with love, my son..."

"And you are my god..."

She just smiles and keeps praying for his happy life.
