At 10 PM, a girl was locking up a clothing store and was about to head home when a child approached her, saying, "Sister, please give me something to eat, I'm very hungry." Hearing the boy's words, the girl's heart melted. He was a very innocent child, and he looked like he hadn't eaten anything all day!
So, the girl gently patted the child's head and said, "Haven't you eaten anything? Are you hungry?" To the girl's question, the boy innocently nodded his head in affirmation.
Seeing this, the girl felt pity for the child. She looked around and saw that almost all the shops had closed. Just then, her gaze fell upon a small shop, the owner of which was about to close it. The girl quickly went to the shopkeeper and said, "Brother, one minute please, I need to buy something."
The shopkeeper looked at her for a moment and then quickly said, "Okay, hurry up."
So, the girl quickly presented the child to him and said, "Son, take whatever you want."
Hearing the girl's words, the child looked at her once, and she smiled and nodded in affirmation. So, the child quickly took two or three packets of chips and biscuits. The girl paid the shopkeeper, thanked him, and left.
After walking some distance, the girl looked here and there on the road. Her eyes fell on a boy standing across the road near a bike. Seeing the boy, the girl quickly crossed the road and went to him, saying, "Let's go, Ravi bhaiya, we are late."
The boy, who was her brother Ravi, lightly tapped her head and said, "Oh, it's getting late, and when you were buying things for that child from the shop, it wasn't late then?"
Hearing Ravi's words, the girl bit her tongue between her teeth and said, "You saw."
Ravi, looking at her, said, "Yes, I saw everything, and!"
Before Ravi could say anything else, the girl gestured to him to the side. Ravi shook his head in negation and looked in that direction. He saw two or three children sitting and eating wafers and biscuits there. After seeing them, Ravi said to the girl, "Look, Anaya, I know you feel bad seeing those children, but what can we do? We are not so rich that we can do something for them."
To Ravi's words, Anaya smiled and said, "We can, Ravi bhaiya. Instead of money, we can give them something to eat or some clothes, so their hunger is satisfied and they also get clothes to wear. Is money the only thing necessary for everything?"
Ravi shook his head in negation to Anaya's words and said, "Understood, my dear. You and your friends, let's go."
So, Anaya smiled and nodded in affirmation! And the two of them left from there on the bike!
So, this was our Anaya, 20 years old, with big brown eyes, black hair reaching her waist, a slim figure, fair complexion, completely calm, and nothing was more important to her than her family!
On the other hand,
In an expensive club in Mumbai, a girl was dancing on the dance floor, holding a half-empty bottle of wine. Her friend, pulling her away, said, "Shrida, it's very late, let's go."
To her words, Shrida irritably said, "Oh Anju, you're just like Mom. Wait a little longer."
So, Anju, Shrida's friend, it wouldn't be wrong to say, her only friend.
Hearing Shrida's words, Anju said angrily, "Absolutely not, we are leaving now."
To that, Shrida said, "Why are you so scared? And if you are so scared, why do you come with me?" Shrida was speaking under the influence of alcohol!
Anju knew that Shrida was drunk, so Anju smiled and said, "For you, and to save everyone from your anger." She smiled lightly.
Hearing Anju's words, Shrida pouted and said, "When do I get angry at anyone? They themselves come to fight with me, so what can I do, poor me?" She made an innocent face!
Seeing this, Anju sighed and said, "Yes, I know, you are completely innocent."
So, Shrida made puppy eyes and said, "Right!"
Anju couldn't help but laugh at Shrida's antics, but somehow she managed to drag her out of the club and forced her into the car! Shrida had drunk a lot, so Anju was driving the car. But Shrida was constantly bothering her. Then, the car collided with a bike coming from the opposite direction.
A few hours later, Shrida opened her eyes and found herself on a hospital bed, and Anju was sitting right in front of her, with a bandage on her forehead too! As soon as she saw Anju, Shrida tried to get up quickly, but then the nurse stopped her, saying, "Madam, please lie down. Your condition is not good right now." Shrida was also injured, but not so much that she couldn't even get out of bed!
Shrida didn't listen to the nurse and somehow got up and hugged Anju, saying, "Thank God you are okay."
But Anju didn't reply to her words at all. When Shrida realized that Anju wasn't saying anything, she held Anju and shook her, saying, "What happened, Anju? Is everything okay? Why are you sitting like this? Why aren't you speaking?" Shrida was now worried and also scared!
Shrida's shaking brought Anju back to her senses, and she said, crying, "Shrida, a very big problem has occurred."
Now Shrida was even more scared! Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she said, "Tell me what happened. Don't hide anything, tell me everything. I'm scared."
Anju first looked around and then said, crying, "Our car had an accident, and the person who had the accident is in very serious condition."
Hearing Anju's words, Shrida muttered in fear, "Oh God, what happened? Now the police will catch me."
Seeing Shrida's nervousness, Anju calmed her down and said, "Please Shrida, calm down, please calm down." (Then, thinking for a moment) "Let's do one thing, let's go and meet her, then we'll see what to do next."
And the two of them quietly left their ward and searched until they reached the room of the girl who had the accident. As they opened the door and went inside, they saw that a girl was wearing an oxygen mask, had a bandage on her head, and an IV drip in her arm! Her condition looked grim.
Shrida and Anju slowly moved towards her and looked at her face, but as soon as they saw her face, Shrida stepped back two steps. Anju also felt as if she had been jolted.
They were looking at the girl when a boy entered the room. He also had a significant head injury, but his condition was not as bad as the girl's. The boy looked at Shrida with shock, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. He also couldn't understand whether what he was seeing was real or a dream!
Then, the boy's gaze fell on the girl lying on the bed, and seeing the girl, the boy's anger reached its peak! And just then, the police arrived.
What happened that made Shrida and Anju lose their senses...? And who called the police...?
Stay tuned to find out......
No response from Groq.
Further,
Anaya and Ravi were sitting on the roof. Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing the name flashing on the phone, Ravi and Anaya first looked at each other, then Anaya received the call, and before anyone could say anything from the other side, Anaya and Ravi simultaneously spoke in a worried tone, "What happened, is everything alright?"
Hearing the worried tone of both, the person on the other side said, "Yes, everything is fine, don't you both worry." Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief!
And Ravi left them to talk, telling Anaya to talk. Anaya also spoke for a while and then she too cut the call and came downstairs. As soon as she went to her room to sleep, Sunita, who was waiting for her, said, "Anu, where were you?"
To which Anaya replied, "Nowhere, Di, I was just on the roof for a while!"
So Sunita, looking intently at Anaya, said, "Is everything okay, Anu? Why were you crying!"
When Anaya was talking on the phone, her eyes had become moist. To Sunita's question, Anaya said, averting her gaze, "It's nothing, Didi, it seems something got into my eyes. And your wedding is also happening. You will also leave us and go to your in-laws' house, so it feels like all the tears are coming out at once!"
Hearing Anaya's words, Sunita became emotional and hugged Anaya. After staying like that for a while, both of them slept.
Morning time
The Sun God was showering his blessings on everyone with his redness, but downstairs Neeta Ji was showering her anger on everyone. Although it was her elder sister-in-law's daughter's wedding, Neeta Ji was worried about the preparations!
Neeta Ji, calling out to Anaya, said, "Anu, have you woken up or not? Wake up quickly and wake Sunita up too, today is her Haldi ceremony!"
To which Anaya replied, "Yes, Mom, we have woken up, we're coming in a bit!"
So Neeta Ji said angrily, "What will happen to them? They have to be woken up by calling them in the morning, who knows what she will do after going to her in-laws' house." Muttering like this, she got busy with her work!
Meanwhile, Ravi said as he came from outside, "Chachi, I have brought the flowers and the puja materials you asked for, please check them once."
So Neeta Ji took the materials from Ravi's hand and checked them, saying, "Yes, everything seems fine for now. I'll ask the priest once, then I'll tell you." Ravi just nodded in agreement!
Meanwhile, Jagdish Ji said to Neeta Ji as he was going out, "Neeta Ji, check everything properly, there should be no mistake." Neeta Ji nodded in agreement and started checking everything again!
While checking the materials, Neeta Ji said to Suman Ji, "Jiji, the Haldi will come from the groom's side, right? Have you spoken to them, when will the Haldi arrive!"
To which Suman Ji replied, "Yes, I have spoken to them, the Haldi will arrive on time, don't worry."
Neeta Ji said with a worried expression, "How can I not worry, Jiji? They are the bride's family, Sunita's in-laws, let there be no mistake." And she got back to work!
After overseeing everything, Neeta Ji sat down for a while. Just then, Anaya offered her a glass of water and said, "Drink this, Mom. You've been pacing here and there for so long, you might fall sick!"
So Neeta Ji said with a smile, "Nothing will happen. I still have to see your wedding, so don't worry about me, understand!"
Hearing Neeta Ji's words, Anaya gave a faint smile and took the glass from her hand and left. Ravi was also watching everything from a distance. He also understood well what Anaya must be feeling at this time!
The afternoon arrived, and the Haldi also arrived from the groom's side. The bride's family welcomed the groom's family warmly. After tea and snacks, they also left!
The Haldi ceremony had begun. Sunita was seated on a raised platform, and her mother stood behind her, marking the start of the ritual. First, married women applied Haldi to Sunita, followed by unmarried girls. The ritual continued for some time, after which Sunita was bathed, her clothes were changed, and she was given an iron bangle. She was then instructed not to go anywhere alone and was taken to her room!
Anaya was not present during all the rituals. She had kept herself busy with other tasks, and the neighborhood women had also come for the Haldi. Due to the crowd in the house, no one noticed her absence!
Evening arrived, and everyone was sitting and dancing. Anaya was also sitting with Sunita. Sunita's friends and Anaya's friends had also come. Sunita's friends were actively participating with her in the singing and dancing. But Anaya was not talking much to anyone; she was staying with Sunita. Just then, one of them came forward and said, "What happened Anu, are you angry with all of us?"
To which Anaya shook her head and said, "Oh, it's nothing like that, why do you all think I'm angry?"
Then one of the girls said, "We know you are always quiet, but earlier when you used to be with us, you used to talk a lot, so why are you so quiet now?"
So Anaya, wiping the sweat from her forehead, quickly smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing like that, I just want to be with my sister right now. Her wedding is tomorrow, so..."
After finishing her sentence, Anaya glanced at Ravi, who was sitting a little distance away. Ravi gestured for her to stay calm with his eyes, but someone was watching all this from the roof above!
Meanwhile, Sunita also looked at Anaya and said, "Anu, are you really okay? You seem changed since you arrived."
To which Anaya replied with a smile, "It's nothing like that, Didi. You should focus on your Sangeet!"
After finishing her words, Anaya went to her room and, looking at a photo on her phone, said, "How much longer will you make me wait? Come soon, I can't handle all this."
When Anaya was coming towards the room, Ravi had seen her, so avoiding everyone's gaze, he also came and, seeing Anaya sad, placed his hand on her head and said, "You have handled it very well!"
Seeing Ravi in front of her, Anaya hugged him and started crying, unaware that someone was watching them!
Anaya cried and said, "No, Bhai, I can't handle it. No matter how much you say, something always happens that makes me feel like I'm about to be caught."
To which Ravi consoled her and said, "Look, it's not like that, it's just a matter of a few more days, then everything will be alright."
So Anaya continued, "No, Bhai, it's not about taking her place. The truth is, I will never be able to become like her. You were right, I am me, and she is her."
When Ravi felt that Anaya was getting carried away by her emotions and was about to say everything, he silenced her and said, "Stop it, calm down. She will be fine soon and will be with us."
Just then, they heard a sound of something falling. When they both turned and looked, their eyes widened!
Why was Anaya so upset? Whose place was Anaya talking about taking?

Take care...
Further,
Anaya was crying in Ravi's embrace, releasing the pain that had been in her heart for so many days with her tears!
Ravi, while comforting Anaya, said, "Look Anu, please be quiet, someone might see us, what answer will we give!"
Anaya wasn't thinking straight; she just wanted to lighten her heart, but she didn't know that someone had been listening to their conversation for a while!
Unaware of anything, Anaya tearfully said, "Brother, please forgive me, I couldn't keep my promise. You were right, she is her, and I am me, I can never be like her!"
Ravi was now scared that someone might overhear their conversation! Just then, they heard a falling sound. Hearing the sound, both of them turned around and saw Neeta Ji standing at the door, looking at them with surprise!
When Neeta Ji saw Anaya coming inside, she was bringing food for her, but she lost her balance, and all the food fell. Anaya regained consciousness from the sound.
Neeta Ji, with her hand on her head, said, "Oh God, wait, I'll bring another one," and she started to leave. Seeing her go, Anaya and Ravi breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, that breath got stuck again!
Neeta Ji stopped as she was leaving and turned back, coming towards both of them, she said, "Who were you two talking about, and who can't you be like? And why were you crying so much!"
Neeta Ji, holding Anaya's face in her hands, spoke. Both of them had no answer to Neeta Ji's question. They were both blank now. Seeing Neeta Ji, Anaya felt very bad!
That's why Anaya started avoiding her gaze. Seeing Anaya like this, Ravi quickly said, "Auntie, she is talking about Sunita. Tomorrow she will be married and will go to her in-laws' house, and how well she manages everything. That's why she was saying she can't be like her!"
Neeta Ji found Ravi's words strange. Still, she gently tapped Anaya on the head and said, "You silly girl, you are exactly like her, completely foolish!"
At Neeta Ji's words, all three of them laughed. Seeing Anaya laugh again, Neeta Ji went outside. As soon as she left, Anaya became sad again!
Ravi had given Neeta Ji an excuse, and she had accepted it, but there was someone else who felt something was wrong!
After calming Anaya down, Ravi brought her outside. Anaya was now feeling much better.
Outside, everyone was dancing and singing. When Naman saw Anaya, he took her hand and brought her into the crowd and started dancing with her. Seeing everyone happy, Anaya was also happy, and seeing Anaya happy, Ravi was also happy!
The Sangeet ceremony was over in no time!
According to village customs, the Haldi and Sangeet ceremonies for a wedding were held at their respective homes!
Morning arrived. The baraat (wedding procession) was arriving tonight. Preparations were in full swing at home; sweets were being made somewhere, and decorations were underway elsewhere.
Dishes were being prepared somewhere for the reception of the baraatis. Today, everyone was assigned their share of work. Anaya was helping Sunita pack her necessary items. Suddenly, Anaya got up, brought her bag, took out a bag from it, and gave it to Sunita. When Sunita saw the contents of the bag, her eyes widened!
Sunita said in surprise, "Anu, this looks very expensive. I've seen it on TV; its price is very high!"
At Sunita's words, Anaya said, "It's not like that, Di. What you see on TV is also available at a lower rate!"
Sunita, startled by Anaya's words, said, "Does that happen too?" Anaya nodded in agreement, and then both of them focused on their preparations!
As time passed, it was evening. Anaya was getting Sunita ready! Seeing the way she was getting ready, Sunita said, "Oh wow, Anu, you did it so well, but when did you learn all this?"
Anaya: "Oh, Di, this is nothing. In the office, everyone gets ready even more than this!"
Sunita: "So much?" Anaya replied in a hum!
Sunita's complexion was a little less compared to Anaya's, but the way she had gotten Sunita ready today was unmatched. Anyone who saw her would lose their heart!
Anaya had done Sunita's makeup enhancing her natural beauty. A red saree, her hair braided with flowers, a beautiful necklace, a maangtika on her forehead, large earrings, a bridal veil, her hands filled with red and green bangles, anklets on her feet – overall, she looked very beautiful!
Neeta Ji and Suman Ji were coming to check on Sunita because the baraat was due to arrive any moment, and they were also worried about whether she was ready, especially since Anaya had told everyone that she would get Sunita ready! But now they were afraid whether Anaya would be able to get the bride ready!
Neeta Ji and Suman Ji were talking as they walked. Upon entering the room, Suman Ji, without seeing Sunita, said, "Is she ready or not, and how much more time will it take?"
Hearing her mother's words, Sunita came and stood in front of them. Seeing Sunita ready, both of them put their hands on their mouths and stared at her intently!
Seeing her mother's reaction, Sunita looked at Anaya once, then said to her mother, "What happened, Mom? Don't I look good?"
At Sunita's voice, Neeta Ji and Suman Ji, showering her with blessings, said, "Who said you don't look good!"
To this, Sunita quickly said, "Then why are you all looking like this!"
At Sunita's words, Neeta Ji and Suman Ji said with a smile, "You silly girl, we didn't know our daughter was so beautiful!"
Hearing their words, smiles appeared on both Anaya and Sunita's faces!
Just then, a shouting voice came from outside...
So readers, meet you in the next chapter... Do tell us in the comments how you liked today's chapter...
Tc...
Next,
Neeta ji and Suman ji were removing the evil eye from Sunita! Looking at Sunita, tears welled up in Suman ji's eyes, and she thanked Anaya with her eyes.
Anaya simply blinked her eyelids, then Neeta ji said, "It's good that Anju has prepared Sunita well"!
And then, looking at Anaya, she said, "Anu, you also get ready quickly, the baraat must be arriving any moment!"
Anaya smiled and said, "Yes Mom, I'm coming, I'll just pack this up." To which Neeta ji simply nodded.
After packing everything, Anaya went to get ready herself.
Meanwhile, the two of them were advising Sunita when Naman came shouting from outside and said, "Mom, Auntie, the baraat has reached the square. Dad said to get everyone ready." Hearing Naman, Neeta ji and Suman ji placed their hands on Sunita's head and went to prepare to welcome the groom.
Meanwhile, Sunita stood in front of the mirror in her room, dreaming of her future life.
A little while later, the baraat arrived at the door.
Sunita's mother came forward, performed the groom's aarti, and removed his evil eye, then gave him something sweet to eat and a drink of water. Now it was time to playfully pull his nose, so Sunita's mother, taking his blessings, pulled his nose.
She did all this so quickly that the groom didn't even realize it, and his nose was pulled. As soon as Suman ji did this, the bride's side became happy, and the groom's side's faces fell.
Then the two of them took the groom inside, and Jagdish ji and his elder brother greeted the baraatis by adorning them with garlands. Ravi was overseeing all the arrangements inside.
Everyone in the house was actively involved in the wedding. But Jagdish ji had told Anaya to stay away, in his eyes, her presence or absence was the same. However, if she didn't come, he would still be troubled, and if she came, he was troubled too.
A little later, the groom was seated at the mandap, and the pandit ji was performing the Varr Puja. Sunita's parents were sitting near the mandap, Ravi and Jagdish ji were busy with the baraatis, and Sunita's friends were sitting with her. Because Anaya had gone to get ready, and Neetaji was busy with other arrangements of the house.
One of Sunita's friends teased her, saying, "Sunita, your future husband is very handsome, you are so lucky."
Then another friend teasingly said, "Oh, she'll forget us now."
Just then, a voice came from the doorway, "Oh, stop it, how much will you bother my sister?"
Hearing Anaya's voice, everyone turned to look at her, and all their eyes widened as they saw her. Anaya was wearing a Banarasi lehenga, a mix of pink and parrot green, with light makeup on her face, small earrings, her hair styled and braided in the front, pink bangles on her hands, and kajal in her brown eyes.
Anaya looked beautiful even without makeup, and today she was all dolled up. Her and Sunita's friends were speechless seeing her.
And Neeta ji was coming to get Sunita, and her gaze fell on Anaya, and a small but lovely smile appeared on her face as she saw her, but it disappeared the next moment.
She thought to herself, "What I feared has happened. What if her beauty becomes an obstacle to Sunita's wedding?" So she stayed with Anaya and sent Sunita to the mandap with her friends.
Neeta ji, making Anaya sit on a chair, said, "Look dear, don't misunderstand me, but you won't go towards the mandap until the wedding is over."
Hearing her mother, Anaya replied, "Mom, I know, don't worry too much. I am happy just being a part of sister's wedding, even if it's from afar. And don't worry, there will be no problem because of me." Neeta ji gave Anaya a helpless look and then also left the room.
(People say, don't they, when a girl becomes someone's wife, her husband becomes everything to her, and when she becomes a mother, her child becomes everything to her. But sometimes, the duty of a wife becomes more important than a mother's love. It was the same with Neeta ji here. She was also a wife who was supporting her husband but could do nothing for her child.)
The wedding had begun at the mandap. As the pandit ji recited the verses, Sunita and her husband followed suit. First, they exchanged garlands, then Sunita's parents performed the Kanyadaan. After Kanyadaan, they stood for the pheras. After the pheras, the wedding was completed with Sindoor Daan and the Mangalsutra.
Here, the wedding rituals were taking place, and there, Anaya was standing on the terrace, looking at the moon, and as always, there were a thousand questions in her eyes, for which, leave alone answers, even the questions themselves were questions.
Here in Rampur, the wedding was happening, but despite everyone being there, Anaya was alone.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious house in Mumbai, a girl lay unconscious on the bed. Hospital equipment was around her bed, and a machine attached to her hand was counting her heartbeats. A girl sitting beside her looked at her and said, "Enough now, friend, how long will you be like this? Do you even know how much you are needed here, and how much punishment you want to give? Please come back," she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Meanwhile, a woman standing at the door, who was trying to hide her tears upon hearing her words, came inside and said, "It's good, scold her more, then she'll come back to argue. I've been telling you, it's enough, don't think so much, get up, it's been too much, get up." As she spoke, the woman started crying.
The girl got up from her place and comforted the woman, saying, "Auntie, please don't cry, she won't get up. She's gotten too angry with us."
The woman looked at the girl and said, "Anju, tell her to forgive me. I will never scold her again. Tell her."
Anju gave the woman a glass of water and said, "Please calm down, otherwise your health will deteriorate."
This woman was none other than Neelam Awasthi, about 40 years old, and the girl lying on the bed was Shrida.
"Neelam ji also has Shrida's eyes, and she got her beauty from her. It would not be wrong to say that Shrida inherited her beauty from her mother."
Neelam ji hugged Anju and was crying when her gaze fell on Shrida's hand, and she became very happy.
So, let's meet in the next chapter..... Please friends read and do like comment and share....
Tc..
Gn....
Ahead,
Anju was hugging Neelam ji and explaining, and Anju was consoling her, because there was nothing else she could do!
Anju, consoling her, said, "Please, Auntie, calm down. Otherwise, you will fall ill. Please, Auntie, calm down!"
Anju understood her, but she herself was not happy seeing Shrida like this! Shrida was the only one she had who loved her and fought with her; besides her, Anju had no other friends!
Anju, still hugging Neelam ji, said in her mind, "Come back; nothing feels good without you." Anju closed her eyes, thinking to herself, and a drop of tear rolled down her cheek!
Neelam ji was crying, pressed against Anju's chest, when suddenly her gaze fell on Shrida's hands. Neelam ji, separating from Anju with joy, said, "Anju, Anju, look, look, Shrida's hands are moving. Look!"
Hearing Neelam ji's words, Anju started looking at Shrida's hands and found that Shrida was indeed moving her fingers. Anju, looking at Neelam ji with happiness, left the room!
In Rampur,
Anaya stood on the terrace, looking at the moon, unaware that someone was watching her.
The wedding in the courtyard was over, and now all the family members were sitting down to eat. Ravi, with his plate of food, headed towards the terrace. Seeing him go, Jagdish ji thought to himself, "I don't know what's going on between those two. Whatever it is, I just hope she leaves soon, and with her, these household problems." Meanwhile, Manoj ji, sitting next to him, shook his head in disagreement.
On the terrace, Ravi placed the plate of food in front of Anaya and said, "Aren't you hungry?"
Anaya took the plate from Ravi's hand, placed it on the table beside her, and holding his hand, said happily, "Brother, it feels like something good is going to happen today."
Ravi saw her happy after a long time. Seeing her happy, Ravi also felt happy. He held her hand more firmly and said, "And why do you feel that way?"
Anaya: "I don't know why, brother, but I just feel in my heart that something good is going to happen, and since it's been so long, it must be good."
Then Ravi, placing his hand on Anaya's head, said, "I will always want you to be happy and keep smiling like this. Now, come on, quickly eat something; you haven't eaten anything for a long time."
Anaya smiled and nodded in agreement and broke off a morsel from her plate and offered it to Ravi.
Ravi ate the morsel, then he also broke off a morsel in the same way and offered it to Anaya, and Anaya ate it with joy.
Anaya had just picked up another morsel to eat when her phone started ringing. Seeing the name flashing on the phone, Anaya looked at Ravi, and Ravi looked at her.
Then, taking a deep breath, Anaya received the call, and hearing what the person on the other end said, she became very happy. Since the phone was on speaker, Ravi also heard it, and he happily side-hugged Anaya.
After talking for some time, she hung up the phone and started eating happily.
Ravi paused for a moment, looked at Anaya, and then left. He had just reached the stairs when Neeta ji met him standing there.
Neeta ji looked at Anaya once, who was sitting and eating her food comfortably, then looked at Ravi and held his hand, saying, "Thank you, son, for supporting Anu so much, for taking care of her. You always took care of her, but in the last few months, you have handled her exceptionally well, which I should have done." Her eyes welled up as she spoke.
Ravi placed his other hand on the hand Neeta ji was holding and said, "I will always do that; don't you worry about her. But I want to say one thing to you: in the last few months, your presence was as important to her as perhaps no one else's, but you were not with her, which you should have been." After finishing his words, Ravi left, and Neeta ji stood there watching him.
Ravi's words pierced her heart like a dagger.
She looked at Anaya once and then left. After a long time, Anaya also came to her room and saw Sunita sitting on her bed.
The wedding was over, and in a few hours, morning would arrive, and the farewell was scheduled for the morning.
Until then, separate resting places were made for the men, and separate ones for the women.
Suman ji and Neeta ji were busy with their tasks. Sunita was checking the things to be given at the time of farewell.
And here, Anaya and Sunita were lying in their room, talking.
Anaya: "Are you happy, sister?"
Sunita, a little surprised: "What happened to you? You're asking this for the third time today. When we talked, you were there, weren't you? So, marriage is every girl's dream, so wouldn't she be happy after getting married?"
Anaya, turning towards Sunita: "I know, sister, I was just asking."
Sunita: "Anu, leave me, are you okay? And tell me, where were you during the pheras?"
Anaya: "Sister, I'm fine. And you know how I got permission to attend your wedding, right?"
At Anaya's words, Sunita slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, yes, sorry Anu. I completely forgot in my happiness. Please, sorry!"
Anaya: "It's okay, sister. Now you should rest a little; your farewell is in the morning." Sunita also hummed and closed her eyes, and Anaya also closed her eyes, and soon both fell asleep.
It wasn't that the Singh family hadn't educated their children, but they never let their children do anything of their own free will!
Anaya going to Mumbai for a job was also Jagdish ji's reluctance, and a necessity for the household. It's just that no one wanted to acknowledge it. They thought it was Anaya's stubbornness, but Ravi knew very well what Anaya's compulsion was.
Except for a few people, everyone else had fallen asleep. Meanwhile, Neeta ji and Suman ji were sitting in their room, checking the luggage going with Sunita. Just then, someone entered the room, and upon seeing them, tears welled up in their eyes.

Moving on,
Neelam Ji was overjoyed to see Shriada's body stir!
She had been waiting for this day for the past six months, during which the doctor had given her little hope multiple times! Meanwhile, Anju quickly went out of the room and down to the hall where Shridas father, Mr. Abhay Awasthi, was talking to the doctor about Shridas condition!
Just then, Anju called out to Abhay Ji, "Uncle, please come upstairs quickly and bring the doctor. Shridas fingers have moved!" and she went back to Shriada's side!
Doctor Ajay Verma was also Abhay Awasthis family doctor and friend! That's why he used to come at least once a day to check on Shriada and inform everyone about her condition! Today too, he had come straight here from his hospital and was telling Mr. Awasthi about Shridas report!
When both of them heard from Anju that Shridas body was moving, they both quickly came upstairs. Upon reaching the room, they saw Neelam Ji holding Shridas hand, and as if she was speaking, Shridas fingers were moving!
Doctor Ajay started examining Shriada. After examining her for some time, he said to Mr. Awasthi, "Abhay, this is a very good sign. Shriada's body is recovering. The improvement is good. It looks like Shriada will regain consciousness soon!"
Hearing Doctor Verma's words, Neelam Ji and Abhay Ji were both happy. Anju also hugged Doctor Verma happily and said, "Thank you, Papa, thank you so much"!
Doctor Verma affectionately stroked Anjus head and said, "It's okay, child. I know Shriada is your friend, and you are very worried about her, but she will regain consciousness soon." Hearing her father's words, Anju smiled and nodded her head in agreement. Just as Doctor Verma and Mr. Awasthi are friends, their daughters are also very good friends!
When Shriada went into a coma, Anju spent most of her time with Shriada, talking to her, asking her questions, joking and laughing, with the belief that one day Shriada would get up and say, "Enough now, Anju, how much will you nag?" Sometimes Anju would cry!
The improvement in Shridas condition gave everyone new hope. All that remained was to wait for her to regain consciousness!
What will happen when Shriada regains consciousness? Will new pages open, or will everything get tangled up again?
In Rampur village,
Neeta Ji and Suman Ji were once again checking all the preparations for Sunita's farewell. Just then, the door to their room opened, and seeing the person standing there, Neeta Ji's eyes welled up with tears!
She quickly got up and went to the person, hugged them, and said, "Anu, what happened to you? How did all this happen? And so much blood from your head, what happened, my child?"
In front of them, Anaya stood drenched in blood. Blood was gushing from her head, her clothes were torn in places, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were completely red, and in that state, she said to Neeta Ji, "Where were you, Mother, when I needed your lap? Where were you?" As she said this, she began to fade from their sight, and Neeta Ji tried to catch her!
But by then, she had disappeared from their sight. Neeta Ji screamed, "Anu," and sat up, looking around for something. When she didn't find it, she left the room!
She had dozed off while working at night, so Neeta Ji lay down for a while!
As soon as she left, Suman Ji also followed her. Neeta Ji quickly went into Anayas room and stood by the bed, looking at Anayas face!
Anaya was sleeping under the sheet. As she was about to pull the sheet to check on Anaya, Suman Ji held her hand and gently said, "What happened, Neeta? Anu is sleeping, and why are you so worried?" As she spoke, she looked at Neeta Ji's face, which was completely drenched in sweat! Seeing this, Suman Ji understood that Neeta Ji had seen a bad dream about Anu!
She signaled Neeta Ji to be quiet and took her to her room, making her sit on a chair and said, "Neeta, here, drink some water. Drink it, and tell me calmly what happened."
Neeta Ji, keeping the glass of water aside, said, "Didi, I... Anu..." She told Suman Ji everything in her trembling voice. Suman Ji hugged Neeta Ji and said, "Shhh, Neeta, everything is alright. You had a bad dream. Calm down"!
When Neeta Ji calmed down a bit, Suman Ji held her face in her hands and said, "You saw, right? She is fine and sleeping in her room. You calm down. Do one thing, you sleep for a while, and I will look after the rest."
Neeta Ji was feeling much better now, so she shook her head in negation and said, "No, Didi, I'm fine, and the rituals will start in a little while. I'll get ready"!
In fact, she was afraid that if she fell asleep again, she would have that dream again, so she wanted to distract herself from the dream, and therefore, she again started focusing on her work. Suman Ji also understood very well why she was doing this!
A few hours later,
Everyone had woken up. Manoj Ji and Jagdish Ji were talking to Sunita's in-laws. Sunita was getting ready for her farewell, and Anaya was helping her!
Ravi was also busy with other things. After serving tea, the farewell began. Sunita was crying, hugging her mother, and Suman Ji was comforting her!
Manoj Ji joined his hands in front of Sunita's husband and said, "Son-in-law, if my daughter makes any mistake, please forgive her." Sunita's husband also held Manoj Ji's hand and nodded in agreement!
And thus, Sunita's farewell took place. All the guests also left. Where there was hustle and bustle yesterday, there was silence today!
It had also been four days since Anaya and Ravi arrived, and they were supposed to leave in three days. Anaya was packing her belongings in the room and arranging the rest of the luggage properly. Outside in the courtyard, there were still some relatives who had come for the wedding, and they would also leave in the morning!
The afternoon turned into evening. Anaya was helping her mother in the kitchen, and Neeta Ji kept asking her, "Anu, are you okay?" She was still worried because of her dream!
Anaya kept replying in the affirmative. In a little while, the food was ready. They had a rule that all the gentlemen of the house would eat first, followed by all the women!
Everyone sat down to eat, and Anaya was serving everyone. When she went to serve Jagdish Ji, he stopped her with a gesture and asked her to serve Neeta Ji. Neeta Ji also nodded in agreement and started serving!
After the meal, Manoj Ji, Ravi, Naman, and Jagdish Ji were sitting. Just then, what Jagdish Ji said made everyone lose their senses, and the plate slipped from Anayas hands and fell!
What did Jagdish Ji say...
To know, keep reading... Ishq joonun aur kismat......
Tc...
Later, after dinner, Manoj ji, Jagdish ji, and Ravi were sitting and talking. After a while, Suman ji and Neeta ji also arrived. They were all seated! And Anaya was collecting the plates and putting them in the kitchen. Just then, Manoj ji said, "Bua Dadi called. She is unwell and wants to meet us!"
To this, Suman ji replied, "But how can we go now? Sunita will come for Pag Pheray in two days. We will go after that." Neeta ji also agreed with Suman ji's statement.
Hearing them, Manoj ji said, "I spoke to her father-in-law. She will come after ten days because her mother-in-law had a vow. They will let her come only after worshipping their Kuldevi."
As Manoj ji finished speaking, he looked towards Jagdish ji. Understanding his elder brother, Jagdish ji glanced towards the kitchen and then, facing everyone, said, "We will go to Bua Dadi's house. And if she has chosen a boy for Anaya, we will meet him too. We will leave tomorrow evening."
Hearing about a boy for Anaya, Ravi stood up from his place and said, "But Uncle, you know, she doesn't want to get married yet."
Before anyone could say anything, the sound of falling utensils came from the kitchen. Everyone understood that Anaya had overheard everything.
Before anyone could say anything, Jagdish ji showed his hand and went towards his room. As he left, Manoj ji explained to Ravi, "What harm is there in meeting him once?"
Ravi understood that if he said anything now, the situation would worsen, so he kept quiet. Manoj ji continued, "After reaching Banaras, we will first take a dip in the Ganges, and then we will go to Bua Dadi's house."
Neeta ji and Suman ji had no choice but to agree with their husbands, so they both nodded.
Ravi then came to the kitchen. In the kitchen, he saw all the plates had fallen on the floor, and Anaya was standing there like a statue. Ravi shook Anaya's shoulder and said, "Anu, are you okay?"
Shaken by Ravi's touch, Anaya came to her senses and, hugging Ravi, said, "Brother, marriage, marriage! I can't get married. Please explain to Dad."
Ravi calmed Anaya down and said, "Calm down. I will talk to Uncle. First, you calm down."
Ravi quickly gathered all the plates and, holding Anaya's hand, took her to the terrace and seated her on a chair, saying, "Look, don't do this, or everyone will find out."
Just then, a voice came from behind, "Find out what?" Ravi and Anaya turned to see Ravi's father standing there.
Looking at them, he said, "Tell me, what will everyone find out? And tell the truth. I've been watching you both for a few days. You two are definitely up to something." Yes, it was Ravi's father who had been keeping an eye on them all these days.
Hearing his father's angry voice, Ravi and Anaya were scared for a moment. Anaya was about to say something when Ravi stopped her and said, "No, Anu, how long will we hide? There should be someone else in this house who knows all this."
Anaya nodded in agreement and held Ravi's hand. Ravi pulled his hand away and nodded in affirmation.
Manoj ji understood from both their expressions that it was something serious. Ravi came forward and started speaking. As soon as he started speaking, tears started flowing from Manoj ji's eyes like a waterfall. He looked at Anaya and then at Ravi. As Ravi finished speaking, Manoj ji slapped Ravi across the face.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Were we all dead? Didn't you think of telling us all? What do you think of yourselves? You two, wait, I'll tell everyone now."
After Ravi was slapped, Anaya became scared. When she heard that Manoj ji was going to tell everyone, she quickly grabbed his feet and, crying, said, "Please, Big Papa." As soon as she said "Big Papa," Manoj ji glared at her.
Seeing him look at her like that, Anaya lowered her gaze and said, "I know I've made a big mistake, and I know my mistake is unforgivable, but I promise you, as long as I am here, no one will have any trouble because of me. It's just a matter of a few days, and after that, everything will be back to normal."
Manoj ji was angry, but he also knew that ever since Anaya had come here, she had been enduring her father's coldness. In return, she had never retorted.
Considering everything, Manoj ji said, "Okay, only until everything is alright."
As he was about to leave after saying this, Anaya spoke again, "Big Papa, I can't marry him."
Manoj ji turned towards Anaya and said, "I can't do anything about this because this alliance was not found by us, but by Bua Dadi."
Anaya was troubled by Manoj ji's answer, when suddenly Manoj ji said, "But you can." Hearing Manoj ji's words, a spark of hope lit up in Anaya's eyes.
Manoj ji continued, "Bua Dadi loves you very much, so I will say that you should meet the boy once and explain your situation to him. If the boy refuses, no one will say anything to you." After finishing, Manoj ji left.
Hearing his father's words, Ravi also signaled Anaya to agree. And Anaya also found some hope.
Neeta ji was sitting in her room, still thinking about her dream. Thinking to herself, she said, "I'll do one thing. I'll take Anu's horoscope and show it to the senior priest there. If there's anything, I'll ask for a remedy."
Manoj ji came to his room from the terrace and saw that Suman ji was sleeping. He also went and lay down on the other side of the bed and started reminiscing about Anaya's memories from childhood to the present.
Sometimes he felt very bad that Jagdish ji treated her that way, but he didn't say anything because of his brother's oath.
Today, Ravi and Anaya also felt their hearts lightened after a long time. Anaya had also decided that she would talk to the boy as Manoj ji suggested and convince him to refuse the marriage. But what would truly happen, only God knew!

Forward,
The next morning,
All the wedding guests had left, and this group was also scheduled to leave for Banaras in the evening!
Ravi and Anaya knew that Manoj Ji would not forgive them easily, but Anaya still hoped that she would be able to convince him, and after all, how angry could he be with Anaya? He loved her just as much!
Everyone was going to Banaras for at least a week! That's why Ravi had extended his two-day leave by calling his company, but Anaya did not get an extra leave!
She was preparing lunch in the kitchen, because after that she also had to cook food for the night journey. She was in the kitchen when Ravi came in and said, "Anu, did you sort out the leave?"
Anaya replied sadly, "No brother, the office refused the leave!"
Ravi, understanding Anaya's situation, said, "It's okay, don't worry. For now, we need to think about that boy. Once he says no to the marriage, you go back to Mumbai directly from Banaras."
Anaya, thinking about Ravi's words, said, "But brother, what if he says no, meaning even after knowing everything, he agrees to the marriage?"
Then Ravi, quieting Anaya, said, "Speak good, good! And anyway, we decided this for everyone's well-being, right?"
Anaya nodded in agreement and Ravi left.
As soon as Ravi left, Suman Ji came into the kitchen and holding Anaya's hand, said, "Anu, forgive me. I intentionally put that condition in front of you because I didn't want what happened last time to happen this time, which is why I asked you to stay away from the wedding rituals."
Anaya, placing her hand on Suman Ji's, said, "It's okay, Big Mom. I understand. Please don't blame yourself."
Then Suman Ji continued, "I know, Anu, that you will never say that we are wrong, but we all know that we have wronged you against our will. Will you ever be able to forgive us?"
Anaya, "Please, Big Mom, don't say that!"
Suman Ji, stopping Anaya, said, "No Anu, let me speak. And one thing, it's not that we don't love you. We love you very much." Hearing this, Anaya looked at them for a moment.
Then Anaya, placing her hand over their mouth, said, "Enough, Big Mom, calm down. And look, how well Sunita didi's wedding went. And yes, I know you all love your Anaya very much, so please forget this, okay!"
Saying this, Anaya smiled! Seeing Anaya smile, Suman Ji also smiled.
Thus, afternoon turned into evening, and everyone left for the railway station with their luggage. Soon they reached the station. After a short wait, the train arrived and everyone boarded.
Jagdish Ji had booked Anaya's ticket in the same coach, but in a separate compartment. When Ravi found out, he also booked his ticket with Anaya.
Everyone was expected to reach Banaras by morning, so Jagdish Ji told everyone to rest for a while, because after bathing in the Ganges in the morning, they would all go to the Shiva temple to pray. And he didn't want anyone to feel tired due to lack of sleep, so after eating quickly, he told everyone to rest.
Anaya was also resting in her seat, and Ravi was in the seat above her. Anaya had hoped that somehow she would convince the boy not to marry her, but still, for some reason, she was feeling restless.
Seeing Anaya restless, Ravi said, "What happened, Anu? Are you okay?" Anaya didn't want to trouble Ravi further, so she shook her head in denial.
Lost in her thoughts, Anaya and the speed of the train reached Banaras together with the morning. From Banaras station, they took a car and reached the Ganges ghat.
Mumbai
Awasthi Villa. As usual, Anju had arrived early today and was talking to Shrida. Today, Anju was telling Shrida her jokes. Then Neelam Ji entered through the door and said, "Anju, what is this? So early in the morning, and such bad jokes!"
To this, Anju smiled and said, "No, Auntie, it's not a bad joke. You don't know, this joke is perfect for my bestie. Do you know why?"
To this, Neelam Ji shook her head in denial. Then Anju stood up, held Neelam Ji from behind, and said, "Because your daughter used to chase me and hit me for this joke!"
Hearing Anju's words, Neelam Ji laughed and said, "Why wouldn't she? If you tell such a bad joke, anyone would get angry." Then both looked at each other, and then at Shrida.
Looking at Shrida, tears welled up in both their eyes. Then, quickly wiping their tears, Neelam Ji said to Anju, "Anju, dear, will you stay here with Shrida for two days?"
To Neelam Ji's question, Anju replied, "Why not, Auntie, I will stay. Are you going out for some meeting?"
Neelam Ji, "I am going out, but not for a meeting, for a vow."
To this, Anju said, "Oh, sorry, Auntie. Where are you going anyway?"
Neelam Ji, "Banaras." Hearing Banaras from Neelam Ji's mouth, Anju, who was talking happily until now, suddenly showed signs of worry on her face.
Seeing Anju so worried, Neelam Ji said, "What is it, Anju? Why are you so worried?"
Anju, hiding her worry, said, "No, it's nothing, Auntie. By the way, when did you make this vow for Banaras?"
Neelam Ji playfully hit Anju on the head and said, "Silly girl, do you make vows based on a place? A few days ago, our family priest said that if I perform a puja in Banaras in Shrida's name, then by Mahadev's grace, she will get well. And see, when I vowed to go there, Shrida's health started improving."
Then Anju stammered and said, "But Auntie, since when did you start believing in superstition? I mean, God can hear you from here too, right? What's the need to go there?"
Hearing Anju's words, Neelam Ji explained, "Yes, I don't believe in superstition, and I still don't. But if a vow brings my daughter back to me, then it's okay, right? And anyway, I am just going to perform the puja, so that later I don't have the thought, 'If only I had done this.'"
Anju could understand Neelam Ji's feelings. After all, for someone whose daughter has been in a coma for 6 months, she would be ready to do anything. This was just going to Banaras to perform Mahakal's puja.
Anju didn't want her to go, but she couldn't do anything, so she nodded in agreement.
Will Mahakal hear Neelam Ji's vow...? What will happen to Anaya...? Will she be able to convince the boy not to marry her...?

Further,
Neelam Ji had made a vow for Shreedha's recovery, which is why she wanted to go to Banaras, and Anju did not want her to go to Banaras, but she couldn't do anything about it!
Because if Anju refused them, she would have to answer why she was refusing. Thinking all this, Anju said, "Okay Auntie, you go. By the way, when are you leaving?"
Upon hearing Anju, Neelam Ji smiled and said, "Beta, according to the Pandit Ji, today morning is auspicious. So I was thinking of leaving today. That's why I told the agency person to book a ticket for today's flight."
Upon hearing Neelam Ji, Anju exclaimed, "What, today!"
To that, Neelam Ji said, "Yes, today is a good day for performing the puja!"
And she went to her room to pack.
Anju didn't know what to say or do. So, remembering God in her heart, she said, "Oh God, everything is in your hands now. Please take care of everything."
In Banaras,
Anaya and her family had reached Banaras!
They reached the Ganga ghat from the station by car. As per Jagdish Ji's instructions, Ravi had rented a room near the ghat.
Since they were leaving after the puja, the room was booked only for today.
Jagdish Ji had already said that after reaching the room, everyone would keep their luggage and leave for the ghat quickly.
So, everyone did the same. Upon reaching the ghat, as they were all going to bathe in the Ganga, Anaya's phone rang. Anaya received the call and moved aside to talk. As soon as she moved away, Jagdish Ji, shaking his head in anger, said to everyone, "No one needs to wait for anyone. If the phone is more important than the puja, let them make the call. We will do our work."
Upon hearing Jagdish Ji, Ravi said, "Chacha Ji, you all perform your bath. I will see. Manoj Ji was about to say something upon hearing this, but seeing Ravi, he kept quiet."
When Ravi reached Anaya, he saw that Anaya was still talking on the phone, but she looked a bit scared. Ravi went and placed his hand on her shoulder. Feeling someone's hand on her shoulder, Anaya turned and saw that it was Ravi.
Seeing Ravi, Anaya breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her, Ravi asked, "What happened? Is there any problem, Anu...!"
Upon hearing Ravi, Anaya said with a false smile, "No brother, it's nothing."
Ravi asked with suspicious eyes, "Really, Anu?"
Anaya maintained her smile and nodded yes, and thought to herself, "How long will you be troubled because of me, brother? I don't want to trouble you anymore because of me. You have done so much for me, but now I won't trouble you because of myself."
Seeing Anaya lost in herself, Ravi shook her and said, "Where did you get lost? Come on, it's getting late."
Anaya said, "Yes brother, let's go," and she started going with Ravi. Meanwhile, a man was going towards the temple after bathing in the Ganga.
6 feet tall, slightly long hair, dark eyes, perfect body, a locket with a Trishul and Damru around his neck, fair complexion.
He was wearing a dhoti and was going towards the temple after bathing in the Ganga. But there was no one on the way who didn't look at him. Unmarried women were looking at him, and so were married women.
As the man was walking, he collided with an old woman, and the woman had a puja thali in her hand, which was about to fall, but the man caught it. However, the sindoor box fell from the man's hand. The man asked the old woman, "Are you okay?"
The woman said, "Yes, son, I am fine, but my sindoor box..."
She had barely spoken when the woman's gaze fell behind the man, and she just kept looking at him. When the man saw the woman looking at him in shock, he also followed the old woman's gaze and turned. He saw a girl standing there, and her entire face was smeared with sindoor.
Her entire forehead was covered in sindoor, and sindoor had spread on her face as well. Bells and conches were making noise all around. Ravi, coming towards Anaya, asked, "Are you okay, Anu?"
As soon as Anaya turned towards Ravi, Ravi looked at her and said, "Anu, where did this sindoor come from?" Hearing Ravi's question, Anaya touched her forehead and saw that there was sindoor there.
The man kept looking at Ravi and then at Anaya. When he heard about the sindoor, he looked at his hand.
Sindoor had also gotten on the man's hand. The old woman he had saved from falling put her hand on her mouth and said, "Oh Mahadev, she has become married. This sindoor was with the blessings of Mahadev."
Hearing the woman's words, tears welled up in Anaya's eyes. Anaya looked around and saw everyone looking at her. Anaya felt hurt seeing everyone staring at her.
Just as the woman was about to say something else, Ravi intervened and said, "Stop it, Amma, enough. This happened by mistake."
Everyone was staring at Anaya, but the man, ever since he saw Anaya's sindoor-smeared face, he just kept looking at her.
While Ravi was talking to the old woman, as soon as the man stepped towards Anaya to talk to her, Anaya stepped back down the stairs towards the Ganga, and before anyone could do anything, she jumped into the Ganga.
As soon as she did this, Ravi, who was about to hold Anaya's hand to take her away, looked around and saw that Anaya had jumped into the Ganga.
Before the man could do anything, Ravi shouted loudly, "Anu," and was about to jump after her, but then Anaya came out of the water.
The man was silently just looking at Anaya. Anaya came out of the water, the sindoor on her face and forehead had faded slightly, but not completely.
And the sindoor in her hair was even more visible. As Anaya came out, Ravi extended his hand, and she took his hand and started going with him.
The man did not like Anaya holding Ravi's hand. He started getting angry. As Anaya walked past him, he just looked at Anaya very lovingly. Anaya glanced at him and continued on with Ravi.
As she walked away, the man also turned and kept looking until she disappeared from his sight.
After she left, some men arrived and stood bowing their heads in front of the man. The man extended his hand, and one of the men placed a handkerchief in his hand.
The man wiped his sindoor-smeared hand with the handkerchief.
And handing the handkerchief back to the man, he said, "Keep it safe." While saying this, a devilish smile was on the man's face. The man then walked towards the temple.
Why didn't Anu want Neelam Ji to go to Banaras... And who was the man who caused Anaya to be smeared with sindoor...!

Ahead,
The man kept watching Anaya until she disappeared from his sight!
After Anaya left, some people came and bowed before the man. The man extended his hand, and one of them pulled out a cloth and gave it to him. The man wiped his vermilion-stained hand on the cloth, returned it to the man, and said, "Keep it safe," before walking towards the temple himself!
Ravi took Anaya a short distance away and, handing her the hotel room key, said, "Anu, go freshen up in the room."
He didn't want Mr. Jagdish to say anything to Anaya again.
Anaya took the key and headed towards the hotel room, while Ravi returned to his family.
Ravi's family was on the other side, so they didn't notice, but it's said that things that shouldn't be known by the family are found out first.
Through people's whispers, Anaya's family found out, but all they learned was that vermilion had fallen into a girl's hair from a boy's hand. No one knew who the girl was!
When Ravi came back to everyone, Sumanji asked him, "Where were you, Ravi, and where is Anu?"
Ravi stammered a bit, "I dropped Anu off at the hotel room. She forgot some things, that's why..." He looked around as he spoke.
Just then, Neetaji's gaze fell on Ravi's wrist, where there was a little vermilion, and also on his T-shirt!
Neetaji looked at him suspiciously and said, "Ravi, you know, we just heard some people talking here about how vermilion fell into some girl's hair from a boy's hand."
As soon as Neetaji mentioned vermilion, Ravi looked at her and stammered, "What, Uncle? Come on, even if that happened, aren't they married? No, right?"
Ravi hadn't even finished speaking when Mr. Jagdish said, "What are you talking about? If vermilion falls into a girl's hair from a boy's hand, she becomes his lawfully wedded wife. Don't you even know that?" Ravi was shocked for a moment at Mr. Jagdish's words.
But he quickly composed himself because his actions would land him in trouble, and Anaya too. But Neetaji had become suspicious of him!
In the hotel room, Anaya stood in front of the mirror. Vermilion was still in her hair. Looking at herself in the mirror, she touched the vermilion in her hair, and as her fingers touched the vermilion, a tear dropped from her eye.
She quickly poured water on her head and started washing it off. After a while, ignoring everything, she got ready quickly and came to the temple.
Everyone else had also changed their clothes. As they were entering the temple, Mr. Jagdish and Manojji, looking at the temple, said, "How beautiful the Mahadev temple looks, but there's nothing special today, so all this..."
Just then, a man passing by overheard them and said, "This has all been arranged by Thakur Saheb. He had a vow that was fulfilled, and today he is having it worshipped."
Hearing the man's words, Mr. Jagdish said, "There are still people in this world who believe in God and vows. It's good to hear that," and they moved towards the temple.
As they left, Anaya also arrived, and she moved forward with Ravi. Ravi looked at her and said, "Anu, are you okay?"
In response to Ravi's question, Anaya said, "Yes, I'm fine. If you're asking about the vermilion incident, please don't worry. I don't believe in all this, so you can rest assured."
Ravi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Anaya's words and started walking with her.
Upon entering the temple, everyone saw that a man was performing the aarti of the Shivling, and incense was burning all around, making it difficult to see clearly. His men had stopped everyone outside. It looked like a very important person.
The man was wearing a dhoti and a gamcha around his neck, and he was singing hymns along with the aarti of the Shivling.
"Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva

As he sang this, the man started coughing due to the smoke. When Anaya saw that the man couldn't sing due to the smoke, she started singing.
"Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva

Hearing the chant, everyone looked at Anaya, but due to the smoke, no one could see her, and she was standing away from her family with Ravi, so they also didn't realize that Anaya was singing. Anaya continued chanting.
"Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Avantikaayam Vihitaavataaram Muktipradanay Cha Sajjanaanaam.

Akalamrtyoh Parirakshanartham Vande Mahakaalamahaasureysham.
Akalamrtyoh Parirakshanartham Vande Mahakaalamahaasureysham."
The man also got lost in Anaya's voice, and Anaya completed the chant. As the man started singing again while doing the aarti, Anaya fell silent when she saw him singing.
"Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva
Nagendrahaaraya Trilochanaaya Bhasmaanga Raagaaya Maheshvaraaya

Nityaaya Shuddhaaya Digambaraaya Tasmai Nanaakaraaya Namashivaya
Nityaaya Shuddhaaya Digambaraaya Tasmai Nanaakaraaya Namashivaya."
Along with the aarti and the chant, the man repeatedly tried to see Anaya's face but could only see the color of Anaya's dress, which was a baby pink anarkali suit.
"Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva Shambhu Shambhu
Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva Har Har Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu
Shiv Mahadeva Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shambhu Shiv Mahadeva."
Finally, everyone chanted together, and with this, the man's puja was completed.
Mr. Jagdish couldn't help but praise, "How well it went, Thakur Saheb and that girl too." Everyone nodded in agreement.
After the puja, Anaya bowed to the Shivling and came out of the temple, with Ravi following her.
Anaya's family also came out of the temple, and they started heading towards the hotel. Just then, Neetaji remembered something and said, "You all go ahead, I'll get the 'vibhuthi' for Buadadi from the priest."
Sumanji told her to come quickly and left with everyone towards the hotel.
The man also came towards the ghat searching for the girl in the pink dress. After some time, he spotted Ravi, and with him was the girl in the pink dress. He quickly realized that the singing girl and the vermilion girl were the same. With a devilish smile, he took their photo on his mobile.
Meanwhile, Neelamji also reached Varanasi Airport...
Who knows what turn Anaya's life will take? Will she find happiness in this, or will her fate get entangled again?

Further,
The man finished his prayer and came to the ghat, searching for the girl in the pink dress everywhere, but couldn't find her, so he started to leave!
As he was about to turn away, he paused, thought for a moment, then turned back again, his gaze fixed on one spot! He saw a girl wearing the same pink dress, sitting on the steps with a boy!
Seeing the girl talking and laughing with someone else, the man's eyebrows furrowed, but when he looked a little more closely, he recognized the girl and it didn't take long for him to understand that the girl with sindoor and the one singing with him in the temple were one and the same!
Looking at Anaya, the man said, "I was sure it was you," and with a devilish smile, took their photo! Anaya's face wasn't clearly visible in it, but Ravi's face was perfectly clear. Taking the photo, the man left.
Meanwhile, Neeta ji made an excuse and returned to the temple. A priest was sitting there, but he looked like a highly accomplished sage. Giving him Anaya's horoscope, Neeta ji said, "Baba, this is my daughter's horoscope, please check it and see if everything is alright!"
Then she thought to herself, "Baba, the last time she was in danger, you told me the remedy, yet I couldn't save her. Now, once again, trouble is coming for my child. Perhaps now I can save her."
And then, coming out of her thoughts, she told Baba about her dream.
The Baba took the horoscope and started examining it. As he joined his hands together, his facial expression began to change.
Neeta ji could see that Baba was troubled while looking at the horoscope, so she anxiously asked, "What happened, Baba? Is everything alright?" and waited for Baba to speak.
Baba closed his eyes and said, "Shiv Shiv Shiv Shiv Shiv!"
Then, opening his eyes and looking at Neeta ji, he said, "The maiden whose horoscope this is, is already surrounded by adversities. And the troubles are not ordinary; this time is very detrimental for her!"
Hearing Baba's words, Neeta's heart skipped a beat. Almost in tears, she said, "Then Baba, surely there must be a remedy for this!"
Baba shook his head and said, "Yes, there is a remedy. Only someone's company can save her during this time!"
Neeta ji couldn't understand, so trying to comprehend, she asked, "What do you mean by someone's company, Baba?"
Baba said, "Meaning marriage." Hearing "marriage," Neeta ji became worried because Anaya didn't want to get married yet.
As Neeta ji was thinking, Baba spoke again, "As far as the horoscope indicates, that person should have already entered her life. But no matter, whatever happens is by Shiva's will."
Before Neeta ji could say anything further, Baba went back into his meditation, and she had to leave, albeit reluctantly.
She bowed to Baba, took some sacred ash from the temple, and started heading towards the hotel.
As she was leaving, her eyes fell on Anaya and Ravi, laughing and talking amongst themselves. Seeing Anaya so happy, Neeta ji thought to herself, "May Mahadev keep you happy like this forever, my child! And may that person who will keep you happy forever arrive in your life soon."
And she left. Anaya and Ravi also started to leave. While walking, Ravi said, "Anu, I had no idea you sing so well!"
To this, Anaya replied, "Brother, it's not much. I used to act in devotional plays in college, and I learned all this then."
Upon hearing Anaya's words, Ravi said, "Oh, that's good. Whatever the reason, you learned something good. By the way, when Uncle finds out you sang in front of everyone at the temple, how happy he will be, and maybe he might even forget his displeasure."
Anaya, dissuading Ravi, said, "No brother, please don't tell Dad. I don't know about forgetting his displeasure, but what will I do if he gets even angrier?"
Ravi also agreed with Anaya, because despite everyone's efforts, Jagdish ji's displeasure towards Anaya had not lessened. Instead, his displeasure grew with the slightest thing. Therefore, he agreed with Anaya and they both headed for the hotel.
Hotel room,
Everyone was about to leave, as it would take them another two hours to reach Bua Dadi's house. Ravi had already booked a large car. The car arrived shortly, and they left.
Banaras airport,
Neelam ji had also reached Banaras airport. She had asked Anju to stay with Shrida for two days, but she wanted to perform the puja and leave quickly today.
Ever since Dr. Verma gave her hope that Shrida was improving, looking at her condition, Neelam ji wanted to be with Shrida whenever she opened her eyes. That's why she wanted to reach Shrida quickly after the puja.
Neelam ji didn't take a car from the airport but headed towards the Ganga ghat. Her car stopped after going some distance. Neelam ji asked the driver, "What happened, brother? Why did you stop the car?"
The driver, pointing ahead, said, "Madam, there's a traffic jam."
Looking at the traffic, Neelam ji said, "No matter the place, traffic jams have become commonplace."
After about half an hour, their car moved forward a little and then stopped again. Neelam ji was now frustrated. She was looking around when her gaze fell on a girl sitting in a car. Neelam ji kept looking at the girl, and as she watched, the girl's car turned in another direction.
After watching that car for a while, Neelam ji made a phone call.
After traveling for nearly two hours, Anaya and her family reached Bua Dadi's house. Bua Dadi's house wasn't very luxurious, but it was the biggest house in the village. There was a nameplate outside their house that read "Jamuna Niwas"!
Anaya had come after many years, so Ravi, understanding her, said, "Don't be nervous, everything is fine. Do as I do and call people by the names I use." Anaya nodded in agreement.
After getting out of the car, everyone went inside. Just then, a woman and a man, aged around 50 to 55, came forward. Jagdish ji and Manoj ji touched their feet and said, "How are you, brother?" And Neeta ji and Suman ji touched the woman's feet and said, "How are you, sister?"
From what Jagdish ji and Manoj ji said, it was clear that they were their elder uncle and aunt. Ravi and Anaya also touched their feet.
Jagdish ji and Manoj ji's aunt's son is Ram Niwas Singh and his wife is Lajwanti Singh.
Lajwanti ji blessed Anaya and, warding off her evil eye, said, "Neeta, our Anu has grown so big and also beautiful." Everyone except Jagdish ji smiled at her words.
Then, Naman came forward and said, "Am I not beautiful?" To which Lajwanti ji and Ramnivas ji both smiled and said, "Oh, you are not beautiful, you are... what do they call it... handsome!"
Upon hearing "handsome," Naman ran his hands through his hair and said, "Well, that's true, Big Uncle." Everyone else laughed at Naman's words.
Then Ram Niwas ji said, "Come on, everyone go inside. Do you want to talk out here all day? Mother has been waiting for all of you." Everyone agreed and went inside.

Forward,
Jagdish ji's aunt has two children, a son named Ramniwas and a daughter named Neelam!
After getting married, Neelam ji rarely visited, and due to a small misunderstanding, she hadn't come for many years! Or rather, communication had ceased.
It wasn't that everyone hated her, but there was definitely a rift between them, and neither side had reached out to mend it.
As for her son Ramniwas, he now manages everything after his father's passing. He has three children, two sons and one daughter!
His daughter was the eldest and was already married. Of the two sons, one was married and the other was yet to be. Their children's behavior is just like theirs, very simple yet sensible!
Anaya also went inside with everyone. Ramniwas ji showed them their rooms, and after settling their luggage, they all went to meet their Buaji (aunt) and Dadi (grandmother) in her room.
When Anaya went into Buaji Dadi's room, she saw an old woman, around 70 years old, lying on a large bed, and beside her sat a young and beautiful woman of about 25.
Lajwanti ji said to the old woman, "Megha, meet them. They are your paternal uncle and aunt."
And Anaya, indicating Ravi and Naman, said, "This is your brother-in-law and this is your sister-in-law!"
Lajwanti ji said to Manoj ji, Jagdish ji, Neeta ji, and Suman ji, "This is our elder son Ajay's wife."
Ramniwas ji's elder son's name is Ajay and his younger son's name is Vijay.
Megha touched the feet of Jagdish ji and Manoj ji, as well as Neeta ji and Suman ji. Everyone blessed Megha.
Jagdish ji and Manoj ji sat beside Buaji Dadi and said, calling out to her, "Bua, what have you done to yourself? Look how unwell you've become."
Looking at Buaji Dadi, it was evident that she was very ill.
Hearing Manoj ji's voice, Buaji Dadi opened her eyes, looked at everyone, and smiled, saying, "You've come, my children. How are you all?" and extended one hand.
Neeta ji held her hand and said, "We are fine, Buaji, but you are not."
Supported by Neeta ji's hand, Buaji looked around, as if searching for someone. Suman ji understood who Buaji was looking for, so she brought Anaya forward and said, "Here is your Anu, whom you are looking for."
As Suman ji brought Anaya forward, Anaya glanced back at Ravi, and Ravi blinked his eyes, as if saying, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Buaji Dadi was overjoyed to see Anaya in front of her and, with tears in her eyes, held her face in her hands and said, "My child."
Anaya just looked at her intently. Buaji Dadi kissed her hands and said, "My child, you are a piece of the moon."
Anaya responded with a small smile, "Are you any less than a piece of the moon?"
Hearing Anaya's words, Buaji Dadi looked at her for a couple of moments, as if she reminded her of someone. Jagdish ji did not like Buaji Dadi's affection for Anaya in this way.
After a while, Anaya said, "Buaji Dadi, don't you love me?"
To Anaya's words, Buaji Dadi replied, "Why are you saying that, my child?"
To which Anaya said, "That's why you've fallen ill. Now who will feed me my favorite things?"
Buaji Dadi happily replied to Anaya's words, "Why are you worried? I'm still here."
Anaya placed her hand on Buaji Dadi's and said, "Then get well soon and feed me my favorite things." Hearing Anaya's words, Buaji Dadi nodded her head yes with tears in her eyes, filled with happiness.
Ravi was amazed watching Anaya. He thought to himself, "She was so nervous before coming here, and now, looking at her, it seems like she has been living here for years."
Meanwhile, Buaji Dadi held Anaya's hand, sat her down beside her, and said, "I need to talk to Anu alone. You all wait outside for a while."
Respecting Buaji Dadi's request, everyone went outside, and Anaya closed the door and sat beside Buaji Dadi.
On the other hand, Neelam ji had reached Ghat and, after finishing her prayers, was sitting with the same Baba ji with whom Neeta ji had sat in the morning.
Baba ji, looking at the horoscope given by Neelam ji, said, "This is the second horoscope today that is identical."
Hearing Baba ji's words, Neelam ji said, "But Baba, this is my daughter's horoscope."
To Neelam ji's words, Baba ji replied, "Yes, I know. That's why I'm saying, both horoscopes are the same, and their solution is also the same: marriage."
Upon hearing "marriage," Neelam ji exclaimed, "Marriage?"
Seeing Neelam ji astonished, Baba ji said, "Yes, marriage. The child is in a state of distress; she needs companionship. Or, I should say, someone to take care of this child has already entered her life." Neelam ji's surprise knew no bounds.
Finishing his statement, Baba ji said, "Don't overthink. Whatever happens, happens by Shiva's will. And only her life partner can save this child from trouble."
After speaking, Baba ji went into meditation.
Neelam ji also left the temple with questions in her mind and returned to the hotel. She said to herself, "Why did Baba say that someone has entered Shrida's life? But Shrida has been in a coma for six months. And if there is someone in her life, it will only be known when she regains consciousness. But no one has come to see her for the past six months either. I'll do one thing, I'll go to Mumbai and talk to Anju."
Thinking for a moment, she started calling Anju, but her call wouldn't connect.
Unable to connect, she got angry at Anju and said, "This girl! I was calling her in the car too, but her call wasn't connecting. I don't know where she is."
Neelam ji, placing her phone on the coffee table, said, "Who was that girl? She looked exactly like Shrida. Was that Shrida? But how could that be? If she had regained consciousness, I would have known. And her clothes were so different. Shrida doesn't even like such clothes."
As she spoke, she began to recall the incident in the car. Due to being stuck in traffic, Neelam ji had become irritated, so she looked out the car window to see the cause of the traffic. Just then, a car stopped in the opposite lane, and as soon as the car started moving, her gaze fell on the girl sitting in the car, near the window.
The girl was wearing a pink suit, her hair braided and brought forward, a tiny bindi on her forehead, very light pink lipstick on her lips, kajal in her eyes. She had rested her hand on the car window, so her metal bangles were visible on her hands.
Recalling that moment, Neelam ji said, "Oh, I don't know who she is, but she looked exactly like my Shrida." And thinking about her, she smiled.
After a while, she picked up her phone from the coffee table and, shaking her head again, said, "No, I must talk to Anju."
She had just dialed her number when her phone rang. Seeing the flashing number on the phone, she squinted her eyes and said, "Call from home." And she received the call.
Hearing the voice on the other end, she said, "What is this, Anju? I've been calling you since afternoon, and you're calling now."
Hearing Neelam ji's non-stop angry voice, Anju said, "Please calm down, Auntie. My phone fell, and it wasn't turning on since then. And then Papa also came to check on Shrida, so I couldn't call you. By the way, Auntie, I have good news for you."
Upon hearing the good news, Neelam ji forgot everything and said happily, "Tell me, dear, what is the good news?"
Why did Buaji Dadi want to speak to Anaya alone? And what was the good news for Neelam ji?
Friends, please read, like, comment, and share.

Meanwhile, Neelam Ji was scolding Anju on the phone because Anju hadn't picked up her call since the afternoon. Hearing Neelam Ji's angry voice, Anju said, "Sorry, Auntie, my phone fell and broke, so I couldn't call you back. Also, Dad had arrived to check on Shreeda, so I couldn't call you back!"
Continuing her statement, Anju said, "Anyway, forget all this, Auntie, I have good news for you!"
Hearing the good news, Neelam Ji happily said, "What is it, Anju? Tell me quickly, please don't make me wait. Tell me quickly, what's the good news!"
Hearing Neelam Ji's impatient voice, Anju said, "Auntie, calm down. I'll tell you. When Dad was checking on Shreeda, Shreeda was regaining consciousness. After checking, Dad said that Shreeda could regain consciousness anytime now!"
Hearing Anju's words, tears welled up in Neelam Ji's eyes. With a choked voice, she said, "Are you telling the truth, Anju? Don't joke with me."
Anju could understand why Neelam Ji was speaking like this, and from Neelam Ji's words, she could also understand that she was crying at that moment because Anju could hear the heaviness in her voice.
So, Anju said in a very calm tone, "No, Auntie, I am not joking with you. Dad really said that her body is improving, and she can regain consciousness anytime."
Upon hearing about Shreeda regaining consciousness, Neelam Ji forgot everything else. She even forgot that she had to talk to Anju about the girl who looked like Shreeda in the afternoon.
Neelam Ji happily said, "Thank you, Bhole Nath Ji, you are healing my daughter. Just keep her completely healthy like this."
The entire view of the ghat was visible from the window of Neelam Ji's hotel room. She bowed to the temple visible from the window and went inside the room.
Meanwhile, on the other side, everyone was standing outside Buaji's room. Two people were particularly worried. The first was Jagdish Ji, and the second was Ravi.
The rest were worried just thinking about what Buaji had to talk to Anaya about that she had asked everyone to leave the room.
Jagdish Ji was pacing back and forth, worried that Anaya might say something that could affect Buaji.
And Ravi was worried that Anaya knew nothing. If Buaji asked Anaya something, what would she answer? Ravi stood quietly to the side, trying to rack his brain and prepare himself for the questions to come.
Buaji's room door was closed. Seeing this, Jagdish Ji's blood pressure started rising.
Seeing him getting unwell, Manoj Ji said to him, "What is this, Jagdish? We are here for Buaji, and you are here making yourself unwell!"
Seeing him worried, Neeta Ji and Suman Ji also became concerned. Reacting to Manoj Ji's words, Jagdish Ji said, "No, brother, I don't trust that girl. We shouldn't have left her alone with Buaji. I am going to her now."
Seeing Jagdish Ji's behavior towards Anaya, Ram Niwas Ji said to Neeta Ji, "Little daughter-in-law, what is it? Jagdish is still behaving like this with Annu."
In response to Ram Niwas Ji's words, Neeta Ji lowered her gaze and nodded in agreement. After learning everything, Ram Niwas Ji and Lajwanti Ji slapped their foreheads.
As Ram Niwas Ji was about to say something to Jagdish Ji after hearing his words, the room door opened. Anaya stood at the door, her eyes slightly red and her face downcast.
She walked directly towards her room, and Jagdish Ji quickly went into Buaji's room. Everyone else followed Buaji into her room, but Ravi followed Anaya.
Everyone looked into the room and saw Buaji sitting with her head propped against the headboard. Seeing everyone entering so suddenly, Buaji said, "What happened to everyone? Why have you all come so suddenly?"
To which Lajwanti Ji replied, "No, Mother, it's nothing. We saw Annu looking sad and got a little scared, that's all."
On Lajwanti Ji's words, Buaji said, "I am fine, nothing has happened to me." Just then, Neeta Ji started going towards Anaya.
But Buaji stopped her and, looking at everyone, said, "No one will go to Annu. Leave her alone for a while; she is fine."
Then, looking at Jagdish Ji, she added, "I am also fine."
But Ravi had reached Anaya. He went into Anaya's room and saw that Anaya was lying on her back on the bed, her feet dangling off the bed, and tears streaming down her eyes. She wasn't crying, but it seemed like someone else's pain was flowing from her eyes as tears.
Ravi slowly came closer to her and, gently placing his hand on her head, said, "You are fine. Why are there tears in your eyes?"
Anaya shook her head and said, "It's nothing, brother. I'm just trying to understand how a small mistake can lead to a lifelong punishment."
Ravi didn't understand much, but he did understand that Buaji must have told Anaya something that had shaken her to the core.
Anaya was still lying in the same position, and Ravi was sitting beside her, thinking that if Anaya needed him and he wasn't there.
Suddenly, Anaya sat up and rested her head on Ravi's shoulder from one side. Ravi also sat quietly, just like that. Because he also felt that she needed someone right now, so he sat quietly beside her.
In a large, luxurious house, a man was looking at someone's photo on his phone and said, "I don't know if there was a connection between us, but now it's formed, and I will never let this connection break. I promise you that you are only mine." Saying this, the man started to smile devilishly.
What did Buaji say to Anaya... and who was that man talking about the connection... stay with me to find out... and please read, like, comment, and definitely share...
See you in the next chapter...
Next,
The man said, looking at someone's photo on his phone, "Whether we had a connection before or not, we have a connection now, and because of it, you will be with me very soon, only near me! I promise you!
The man was standing by his large window, feeling the breeze coming from outside, and looking at the photo on his phone, lost in thought!
Just then, a man entered his room. He was around 65 years old, with a commanding face, wearing a safari suit. His hair was mostly white with streaks of black. Though old, he still possessed the strength to defeat two wrestlers in an arena single-handedly!
As he entered, the man said, "Madhav, you remember we have to go to Kaveri Niwas tomorrow, so please don't get caught up with any work."
Hearing him, Madhav replied, "You know I don't want to get married yet, Dada Ji. Why are you still…?"
This is Madhav's grandfather, Veer Singh Thakur. Responding to his grandson's words, he said, "Why not? And besides, we are not getting you married to just any girl. So, what's the harm in meeting her?"
Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Madhav said, "Alright, Dada Ji. If you think so, I will meet her. But after that, whatever I say will happen, and you won't force me for anything."
Veer Singh Ji said, "Alright!"
Because he knew that if his grandson refused something, it was a definite no. So, despite his reluctance, Veer Singh Ji agreed to Madhav's terms and left.
As soon as they left, Madhav said with a devilish smile, "Just Dada Ji, I will agree to your terms tomorrow. And upon reaching there, I will make you agree to my terms." He then started looking at his phone again!
And with a devilish smile, he said, "Once I see this, I will start preparations to bring you close, and after that, I won't let you go anywhere!"
Meanwhile, when Neelam Ji heard from Anju that Shreeda could regain consciousness at any moment, her happiness knew no bounds!
She had already performed the puja after reaching Banaras and had met the baba ji. Now, she was packing her bags. She had asked the agent to book her return ticket and was about to check out of the hotel. She wanted to leave as soon as possible so that she could be there when Shreeda opened her eyes.
As she was leaving after packing, she heard the sound of bells from the Ganga ghat. Hearing so many bells, she came to the window and saw that the Sandhya Aarti was being performed on the Ganga ghat.
Neelam Ji offered her prayers with folded hands and left as soon as the aarti was over. A short while later, Neelam Ji was at the Banaras airport and was very happy.
At Kaveri Niwas,
Anaya was resting her head on Ravi's shoulder, and Ravi was sitting there for Anaya. After sitting like that for a long time, Anaya said, "Brother, we should tell everyone the truth."
Hearing Anaya mention the truth so suddenly, Ravi said, "But you were the one who didn't want anyone to know about this. Why now?"
To this, Anaya replied, "I thought the matter would remain within our family. But it has escalated to marriage, and Bua Ji and Dadi Ji also want me to get married. Now you tell me, what should I do?"
Hearing Anaya's words, Ravi said, "Alright. Whatever you think is best. And besides, sooner or later, everyone was going to find out."
Their conversation was not yet over when Manoj Ji entered and said, "You two have lost your minds!" Seeing Manoj Ji suddenly and in anger, both were startled.
Manoj Ji closed the door and said, "Until now, I didn't say anything because I was sure that you two wouldn't cause any trouble to anyone. But here, preparations are being made for a big explosion!"
Seeing Manoj Ji so angry and hearing his words, Ravi and Anaya bowed their heads.
Manoj Ji looked at them and came to Anaya and asked, "Do you love someone else?"
Anaya shook her head in denial.
Manoj Ji placed his hand on his head and said, "Then what is the matter? Didn't I tell you to meet the boy and give him some excuse so that he himself refuses the marriage? But no, you want to tell everyone the truth now. So, where was the truth inside you for the last six months?"
Anaya started crying, and tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing her cry, Manoj Ji realized he had said too much.
He sat down on the chair nearby, placed his hand on his forehead, and said, "I know I shouldn't have said that. But you also understand that we are not at our home at this time; we are at Bua Ji's place, and her health is also not good."
Manoj Ji continued, "That's why I am saying, meet the boy, so that no questions arise in anyone's mind, and Bua Ji's wishes are respected. And as for Jagdish, I will handle him."
Hearing Manoj Ji's words, Anaya sat next to him, held his hand, and said, "Alright, Bade Papa. As you say, I will meet that boy."
Ravi also didn't understand what was happening. He thought to himself, "Everything is happening the opposite of what I had imagined. Mahadev, please fix everything soon."
Hearing Anaya's words, Manoj Ji gently placed his hand on her head but couldn't say anything and left. After some time, Megha came and asked everyone to have food.
After some time, everyone was at the dining table. After the meal, Bua Ji said, "The boy who is coming to see Anu tomorrow is the grandson of Ram Niwas's father's friend. They are very rich and a well-established family. The boy is also very good; he has managed his business very well. If he likes our Anu once, there will be no worries."
Everyone nodded in agreement to Bua Ji's words.
What was Ayana going to do, and would that boy also refuse to marry Anaya!

Next,
Everyone was happy to hear what Aunt Ji had said about the boy. Meanwhile, Ajay and Vijay also returned home from work, and after meeting everyone, they also sat down with them.
Aunt-Grandmother assigned everyone their responsibilities and said, "Neeta Bahu, Suman Bahu, you two arrange the snacks and drinks with Lajwanti." The three of them nodded in agreement to Aunt-Grandmother's words.
Then Aunt-Grandmother said to her son, "Ram Niwas, you look after all the arrangements outside, and if anything is needed, tell Ajay because Ravi doesn't know much about here, so he will help Ajay."
To that, both of them said together, "Yes, Grandmother, as you say."
Then, looking at Megha last, she said, "Megha Bahu, get Anu ready, but tastefully." Megha's face fell upon hearing Aunt-Grandmother's words, because although she was beautiful, she used too much makeup, or rather, more than necessary. This is why Aunt-Grandmother said that to Megha, because she knew that if she didn't say anything, Megha would put all the makeup on Anaya.
The family members laughed at Aunt-Grandmother's words, but Anaya's family members didn't understand anything. So, Naman asked, "Aunt-Grandmother, why are you all laughing?" Aunt-Grandmother shook her head no, laughing.
So Neeta Ji and Suman Ji looked at Lajwanti Ji. Understanding them, Lajwanti Ji gestured that she would explain later. Meanwhile, since Aunt-Grandmother had shaken her head no, no one else said anything.
Megha always took Aunt-Grandmother's words lightly, but today Aunt-Grandmother had said it in front of everyone, which hurt Megha.
She thought to herself, "It was fine until we reached home, but now Grandmother has started speaking in front of relatives too." And she left from there with a fake smile.
As soon as she left, Lajwanti Ji understood that she was upset, so she went after her to talk to her.
Lajwanti Ji went into Megha's room and saw Megha sitting sadly on a chair. Seeing Megha's sadness, she placed her hand on her shoulder and, sitting in front of her, said, "What happened, Megha? Why did you leave like that?"
Lajwanti Ji knew, but she still wanted to hear it from her mouth, so she asked Megha. Initially, Megha shook her head no with a drooping face.
But upon Lajwanti Ji asking again, she said, "Look, Mother, Grandmother speaks in front of everyone, but today she even spoke in front of relatives." And Megha sat with a pout.
Hearing Megha's words, Lajwanti Ji smiled and said, "That's the difference, Megha." Megha was surprised by her words.
Lajwanti Ji said again, "I know what you're thinking, and I'm trying to explain the same to you."
Megha didn't understand anything. She said again, "I don't understand, Mother."
So Lajwanti Ji said, "Child, the difference is, the one you're calling a relative by relationship is very close to Mother. They are her own, so how can they be relatives? They are her own. And those who are only related by relation, who come only to maintain the relationship, they are the relatives, aren't they?"
Megha finally understood Lajwanti Ji's words. Shaking her head yes, she said, "I understand, Mother, but I still don't understand one thing: why does Grandmother have so much affection for Anu?"
Then, after a pause, she said, "Even though Jagdish Uncle doesn't like her at all, why is that?"
Hearing Megha's words, Lajwanti Ji first became a little sad, then with a small smile, she said, "Because Anu is exactly like her daughter – the same face, expressions, understanding, but not as mischievous as her. For now, know only this."
Now Megha understood why Aunt-Grandmother liked Anu so much.
Because ever since Anaya had arrived, Megha felt that everyone liked her because of her beauty, but the real reason was something else.
Speaking, Lajwanti Ji seemed lost in thought. Then, shaking her head no, she said, "Child, now you go to sleep. You have to wake up early in the morning, there's a lot of work." Megha nodded yes, and Lajwanti Ji left from there.
Outside, everyone had also gone to their rooms.
Anaya lay on the bed, thinking about what and how to do tomorrow, and said to herself, "Big Papa was right, it's better to face it than to bow down. Tomorrow, I will refuse that boy, no matter what."
Thinking this, Anaya drifted off to sleep. But Ravi was still worried. He didn't know why, but he felt that something was definitely going to happen to Anaya tomorrow.
Aunt-Grandmother was also praying to God that this alliance would be finalized.
Entangled in these thoughts, morning arrived.
The chirping of birds and the soft light of the sun. Looking at Anaya, it seemed as if she was sleeping peacefully after a long time. With a slight smile on her face, she stretched and got up, finding Aunt-Grandmother in front of her.
She wasn't scared, but she did start thinking. As she stretched and got up, she said, "Aunt-Grandmother, you here?"
Aunt-Grandmother had been sitting by Anaya's head while she was asleep, watching her as one gazes at a newborn baby. Anaya's voice brought Aunt-Grandmother back to her senses.
To Anaya's question, Aunt-Grandmother said, "Yes, I woke up early, so I thought I'd meet you. But when I came here, I saw you were sleeping, so I waited for you to wake up."
Hearing her words, Anaya smiled and, holding both her cheeks, said, "Aunt-Grandmother, you are very cute." At Anaya's gesture, Aunt-Grandmother narrowed her eyebrows and looked at her.
Seeing Aunt-Grandmother looking, Anaya quickly removed her hand and looked around. At Anaya's action, Aunt-Grandmother laughed heartily. Seeing Aunt-Grandmother laugh, Anaya also started laughing.
Aunt-Grandmother got out of bed and said, "Get ready quickly, Anu. The boy's family will be here in a little while."
Although Anaya was happy moments ago, a little sadness now appeared on her face. Adjusting herself, she said, "No, it's not time to be sad, and Anaya, since when have you started getting sad over things!"
And she got up and went to the washroom. After a short while, everyone was having breakfast at the dining table, and Megha kept looking at Anaya. Seeing Megha doing this, Lajwanti Ji shook her head no.
When Anaya noticed, she said, "What's the matter, Bhabhi? Why are you looking at me like this?" Now Megha became the center of attraction.
To change the topic, Megha said, "I was waiting for you to finish your breakfast. You need to get ready, right? That's why." Megha's statement was also true.
Anaya also got up from her seat and said, "I'm done, Bhabhi. Let's go." And she went with Megha.
Ten o'clock struck, and it was time for the boy's family to arrive. Preparations were in full swing in the house. The women were working in the kitchen, and the men were engaged in the arrangements outside.
Megha was getting Anaya ready. Everything was done in a short while.
Just as the work was completed, a car horn was heard from outside.
Meanwhile, after a long wait, Neelam Ji reached Mumbai.
Due to some problem, she was a little late; otherwise, she would have been at her home by now.
As she was exiting the airport, someone came in front of her, and upon seeing her, Neelam Ji's eyes widened.

Next,
Neelam Ji arrived late in Mumbai! Her flight was delayed due to some technical issue. Otherwise, considering the time she left Banaras, she would have been at her home by now.
As soon as Neelam Ji stepped out of the airport in Mumbai, she saw Mr. Awasthi in front of her. Seeing him, she happily went to him and, hugging him, said, "You know, Shreeda can regain consciousness at any moment!"
Mr. Awasthi, still hugging Neelam Ji, replied, "I know. Dr. Verma called and told me everything. Dr. Verma must have told you too, right?"
Neelam Ji separated from Mr. Awasthi and shook her head negatively, saying, "No, I spoke to my Anju. She told me about Shreeda's condition."
Neelam Ji's luggage had already been loaded into the car by her driver. As she sat in the car with Mr. Awasthi, she asked, "How did you know when I was arriving?"
Mr. Awasthi smiled and replied, "You forget, we always book our tickets from the same travel agent. I found out from there!"
Neelam Ji lightly hit her forehead and said, "Yes, I had completely forgotten!" and they left for home.
Meanwhile, in Banaras,
Kaveri Niwas,
Anaya was ready. Megha looked at her in surprise and said, "Anu, you look so beautiful, even without any makeup!"
Responding to Megha's comment, Anaya smiled and said, "It's all because of you, Bhabhi. After all, you're the one who got me ready." Megha simply smiled at Anaya's words.
Outside, everyone had finished getting ready and was waiting for the groom's family to arrive. Just then, they heard a car horn, and two large cars stopped in front of their house.
Bua Dadi, who was sitting in the prayer room, opened her eyes upon hearing the horn and came out. She stood at the front, with the rest of the family behind her.
First, two people alighted from the car. One of them opened the door of the first car, and from it emerged Veer Singh Thakur, accompanied by a woman wearing a simple yet expensive sari, with an air of authority on her face.
Veer Singh Thakur came forward and said, "How are you, Kaveri?" (Kaveri is Bua Dadi's name).
Bua Dadi came forward and replied, "I am fine, brother. How are you?"
Then, looking at the woman who had come with them, she said, "Rohini, dear, how are you?" The woman who came with Dada Ji is named Rohini.
Veer Singh Thakur's daughter-in-law, very simple, but due to her lineage of wealth, an aura of command was visible on her face, giving her expression a unique quality.
Rohini Ji joined her hands and said, "I am fine, Ma Ji. I heard you haven't been keeping well. Why don't you take care of yourself?"
Bua Dadi replied, "I'm getting old, dear. These things are bound to happen. By the way, where is Madhav, son?"
Upon hearing Madhav's name, Rohini Ji turned with a smile, and from the car behind her, a 26-year-old young man emerged. He had slightly long black hair, dark eyes, a height of 6 feet, a commanding face, and a perfect physique. He came forward and stood next to his mother.
Bua Dadi looked at him and said, "How are you, Madhav?" With a slight smile, he nodded in affirmation.
Seeing Madhav's behavior, Rohini Ji felt a little upset and said to Bua Dadi, "You know, Ma Ji, he's been like this since childhood."
Bua Dadi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know. And why shouldn't he be? He's just like his father!"
She continued, "Will all the important conversations happen here? Come, let's all go inside!"
At Bua Dadi's words, everyone started going inside. Madhav looked around as he went inside, as if he had been brought here forcefully, and in a way, that was true.
Once inside, everyone sat down. As soon as they were seated, Neeta Ji and Suman Ji brought breakfast and placed it on the table, also serving water to everyone. Madhav just wanted to leave quickly, but he sat there because of his mother and grandfather.
Meanwhile, Ravi had gone to the market with Ajay to get some household items. Veer Singh Thakur Ji and Rohini Ji drank water, but Madhav refused.
Then Rohini Ji said, "Ma Ji, we can talk later. Please call Anaya."
Bua Ji nodded in agreement, and Lajwanti Ji, standing nearby, said, "Tell Bahu Megha to bring Anu!" Hearing "Anu," Madhav's ears perked up, and he started looking at them, as if something had come to his mind.
Meanwhile, Rohini Ji said, "But Ma Ji, we call her Anaya..."
Rohini Ji had barely said this when Bua Dadi interjected, "We affectionately call Anaya 'Anu'." Hearing Bua Dadi's explanation, Rohini Ji nodded in agreement. Madhav, on the other hand, began to feel a desire to see her.
Just then, Ajay and Ravi also returned from the market. As they entered the house, they realized that the groom's family had arrived. So, they first looked at each other and then entered the house.
Upon entering, Bua Dadi introduced them to everyone, saying, "You know Ajay, and this is Ravi, Anaya's elder brother."
Ravi also joined his hands and greeted everyone. But the next moment, he started staring intently at Madhav. Seeing him like this, Manoj Ji asked, "What happened, Ravi?" He shook his head negatively. Meanwhile, a wry smile appeared on Madhav's face.
A few moments earlier, when Madhav saw Ravi, his eyebrows furrowed. He thought to himself, "Who is this, and here too? Meaning, she is also here." By then, Bua Dadi had introduced him as Anaya's brother. Upon learning that Ravi was Anaya's brother, a smile spread across Madhav's face.
Just then, Megha arrived with Anaya. As soon as Bua Dadi saw Anaya, she happily said to her, "Come, my child, sit near me." Anaya went and sat near them.
Now Anaya was directly in front of Madhav. Her gaze was down, so she didn't see Madhav, but Madhav's eyes were fixed on Anaya.
Anaya was wearing a deep pink churidar suit, small earrings, a bindi on her forehead, lip balm on her lips, and her hair was styled in the front and left open in the back. There was no makeup on her face, only kajal and eyeliner.
Rohini Ji and Madhav's grandfather were very impressed with Anaya. However, leaving aside what Anaya was wearing, Madhav saw her as the vermillion-clad Anaya from the ghat.
Yes, the person who had applied vermillion to Anaya's forehead at the Ganga ghat was Madhav himself.
When Rohini Ji looked at Madhav to ask about Anaya, she smiled at his reaction.
Just as Madhav's grandfather believed in giving as much importance to the girl's opinion as to the boy's, he said, "I think those who are going to spend their lives together should also talk to each other."
Bua Dadi also agreed with Madhav's grandfather's suggestion. Therefore, she said to Megha, "Megha dear, take Anu to the rooftop, and Ajay, you take Madhav son!"
Anaya was also happy that she would get to talk to the boy alone, perhaps she could explain things to him. So, she went towards the rooftop with Megha, and Madhav went with Ajay.
Meanwhile, Ravi's tension began to increase, and he also went towards his room.

Forward,
Ravi went to his room, troubled! Perhaps he had realized how difficult it would be for Anaya now!
Manish ji also understood from Ravi's expression that something was wrong! To find out the problem, Manish decided to talk to Ravi, so he took a step towards following Ravi, when Jagdish ji stopped him and said, "Brother, where are you going? You and Buaji have to discuss further together, because I already said that I don't trust that girl at all and I am not going to do anything for her!"
Hearing this, Manish ji thought to himself, "Perhaps this is the first father in the world who behaves like an enemy towards his offspring." He nodded his head in agreement.
Jagdish ji didn't want to stay here, but he had to stay because of Bua Dadi! So he had handed over his responsibility to Manish ji! And Manish ji, nodding his head unwillingly, stopped right there.
On the roof, Anaya stood with her back to Madhav. Before Madhav could say anything, Anaya said, "Look, I know you have come here to see me. Before you say anything, I want to say something."
To Anaya's words, Madhav just replied with a hum.
Anaya continued, "I don't want to get married, and if I tell this to my family, they won't listen to me. That's why I want you to refuse this marriage. If you do this, it will be a great favor to me!"
Madhav was just listening to Anaya, but when he heard her say she didn't want to get married, he frowned and said, "Why, do you love someone else?"
Anaya didn't understand what to say. Then she remembered the incident at the Ganga ghat and immediately said, "Yes, I love someone else." Hearing this, Madhav felt a pang in his heart, and he started to step back!
Just then, he heard her voice again. Anaya continued, "Yes, I love him very much, and tomorrow morning I am marrying him at the Ganga ghat! Please refuse this marriage."
Turning to Madhav, she said, "Will you marry a married woman? Besides, I am going to tell my family about my marriage today. Please try to understand my problem." Anaya thought that if she said she was married, the boy would refuse the marriage, and who would want to marry a married woman!
Anaya was talking to Madhav, but she could only see his back, because when Anaya said she loved someone else, Madhav had turned to leave. But hearing Anaya's words, his steps stopped, and a crooked smile appeared on his face.
In the same position, he said, "Will you tell me alone? Where is your husband? I think if you both tell me together, it will have more impact."
Hearing Madhav's words, Anaya made a face, then stammered, "Yes, yes, that's what I was going to say. He'll be here in a while, and then we'll tell everyone everything."
To Anaya's words, Madhav said, "Then fine, let's tell them together!"
Hearing Madhav's words, Anaya said confusedly, "Yes, what did you say?"
He had just said that when Madhav turned to her and said, "Let's tell them, and I even have proof, so there's no question of anyone not believing us. So, what do you think, shall we go?"
Seeing Madhav, Anaya was stunned. Her mouth agape, she just kept looking at Madhav. Seeing her like that, Madhav took her hand and started to lead her away.
Anaya, who had become senseless, came to her senses from Madhav's touch and said, "No, I can't tell." and started to free her hand from Madhav's grip.
Seeing Anaya do this, Madhav said, "What happened? Why can't you tell? Now that your husband is with you, why are you scared? And look at our destiny, wife. We got married yesterday, and today I have come to get you." He said this with a devilish smile.
Hearing Madhav's words, Anaya started to get angry, and her face turned red. She was already very fair, and because of her anger, her nose and cheeks became even redder.
Pulling her hand away in anger, she said, "I am not your wife. I didn't want to get married, so I said that."
Then, looking Madhav up and down, she said, "I didn't know you were the one. And you look educated from your appearance and clothes. Then how did your needle get stuck on the matter of sindoor? I told you to refuse the marriage, but you, what is your compulsion that you are agreeing with me?"
Hearing Anaya's words, Madhav angrily grabbed Anaya's hand, pulled her towards him, and pressed her back against him, causing Anaya to collide with his chest. Anaya was trying to free herself, while Madhav was holding her even tighter.
Madhav, looking into Anaya's eyes, said, "For you, this might be a joke or superstition, but not for me, understood? Mahadev is the witness to our marriage, so according to that, I have a right over you, and I know very well how to claim my right."
Hearing Madhav's words and due to his grip, Anaya was in pain, and tears started flowing from her eyes. Seeing tears in Anaya's eyes, Madhav's heart ached, so he released her and turned back and said, "Until you yourself want me to, I won't tell anyone. And as for today, I'll do something." And he started to leave.
After going a short distance, he stopped and said, "As for refusing this relationship, forget it. You are mine, and you will remain mine."
Anaya rubbed her hand and kept looking at Madhav. At this moment, more than her pain, she was angry at Madhav's words. Looking up, she said, "Mahadev, was this all you could give me? Then, looking ahead, she said, "I won't leave him." Unaware that someone was standing on the roof stairs and smiling at her words.
Meanwhile, in Mumbai,
Neelam ji and Mr. Awasthi had reached the villa. Neelam ji sat next to Shrida, took her hand in hers, and kissed it, saying, "My child, how long will you make your mother wait? My ears are yearning to hear my name from your mouth."
As she sat talking to Shrida, she suddenly started calling out loudly for Mr. Awasthi.
What will Anaya do? How will she get rid of Madhav? And what happened to Neelam ji? To know, stay with me! And after reading, please like, comment, and share.

Next,
Neelam Ji was talking to Shreeda when suddenly she remembered the incident in Banaras and started telling Shreeda about it!
Neelam Ji held Shreeda's hand and said, "You know Shreeda, I saw a girl in Banaras who looked exactly like you. Exactly like you. If you had seen her, you would have said, 'Mom, she's my carbon copy'!"
Neelam Ji was speaking her mind to Shreeda, but she didn't know that someone was listening to her. Upon hearing this, her life seemed to hang by a thread!
Unaware of this, Neelam Ji continued talking to Shreeda, saying, "And you know, Shreeda, she looked like you, but she was wearing the kind of clothes I always wanted to see you in. My only wish was to see you in Indian clothes, but you never wore them. Anyway, let's forget all that!"
Neelam Ji was telling Shreeda about the temple and puja in Banaras and kept kissing her hand repeatedly! Suddenly she realized that Shreeda's hands had moved. When Neelam Ji looked at her hands, she saw movement!
Then Neelam Ji looked at Shreeda's face and saw that Shreeda was trying to open her eyes. Neelam Ji's happiness knew no bounds!
Neelam Ji, with joy, called out to Mr. Awasthi, "Listen, come quickly! Oh, come quickly!"
Hearing Neelam Ji's voice, Mr. Awasthi came running and asked Neelam, "What happened, Neelam? Are you alright? Is Shreeda alright?" Mr. Awasthi had come running due to Neelam Ji's loud shout, and he was panting.
Meanwhile, Neelam Ji was smiling at him.
Seeing her smiling and crying, Mr. Awasthi said, "What happened? You're crying and smiling. What's the matter?"
Then Neelam Ji said in her chirpy voice, "Look, Shreeda is regaining consciousness!" Hearing this, Mr. Awasthi happily looked at Shreeda.
And he took out his phone and called Dr. Verma, saying, "Verma, come home quickly. Shreeda is possibly regaining consciousness." He then hung up.
About half an hour after Mr. Awasthi's call, Dr. Verma reached Awasthi Villa. Anju was also with him. As soon as Dr. Verma arrived, he quickly checked Shreeda and asked, "How long has Shreeda been trying to regain consciousness?"
To this, Neelam Ji replied, "For about half an hour. I was talking to her when suddenly her body started moving. But why hasn't she regained consciousness yet?" Lines of worry appeared on her face along with happiness.
Seeing her worried, Mr. Awasthi calmed her down, saying, "Calm down, Neelam. Verma is checking, isn't he?"
Anju was also happy but a little worried.
Dr. Verma checked Shreeda, administered an injection, and looking at everyone, said, "Congratulations, Shreeda is fine." He had barely finished speaking when Shreeda opened her eyes!
As soon as she opened her eyes, Neelam Ji kissed her forehead and said, "My child, you've finally regained consciousness! Thank you so much, God, for healing my child." She kept talking, and Shreeda just kept looking at her. Everyone was happy – Anju, Mr. Awasthi, Dr. Verma, everyone!
Seeing Shreeda not saying anything, Neelam Ji cupped her face in her hands and said, "What happened, my child? Why aren't you speaking?"
When Shreeda spoke in her broken words, everyone was shocked!
Meanwhile, in Banaras,
Anaya, angry with God, said, "Did God really find this to put in my lap? A Dracula, who has come into my life to suck my blood!"
Then, looking angrily, she said, "I won't let him go!" She was speaking her mind, but an unaware Madhav, standing on the stairs, had heard her calling someone a Dracula!
Madhav smiled and said, "I don't want you to let me go either. And since God has put me in your lap, you have to bear it. By the way, it's a nice name – Dracula!"
And he came down smiling and sat beside Rohini Ji. After a while, Anaya also came and sat near Bua Dadi.
Madhav, who seemed happy after coming from the roof, was now looking angry, but only Megha could notice this.
She thought to herself, "When Madhav Ji came, he seemed reluctant. And now how happy he is. And Anaya, who was fine before, is now angry. What's the matter?" Megha was caught up in her own questions.
Seeing Madhav, her grandfather said, "Kaveri Ji, it seems Madhav likes your Anaya. And how did our Madhav appear to your Anaya?"
Anaya had hoped that she would refuse the boy, but the opposite happened. Because if she refused, Jagdish Ji would create another Mahabharata, and Madhav had also told her that he had proof of the marriage. Therefore, with a fake smile, she nodded her head in agreement.
Hearing Anaya's reply, everyone became happy, except for two people – Jagdish Ji, because he had no interest, and Manoj Ji, because he knew Anaya didn't want to get married, so why did she say yes!
Upon hearing Anaya's reply, a victory-like smile appeared on Madhav's face.
Everyone started feeding each other sweets when Madhav said, "I cannot marry this." Hearing this, everyone's hands stopped in their positions, and a big smile appeared on Anaya's face, which Madhav could see.
Before anyone could say anything, Madhav said, "You are all misunderstanding. I mean, I can't marry right now. I am currently working on a project, and it is very important. It will take 6 months to complete. If this project is not completed, I will suffer a huge loss. I hope you all understand."
He was saying all this while looking at Anaya. Where a big smile had appeared on her face when Madhav refused, that smile vanished after hearing his entire explanation.
Grandfather also said, "Madhav is speaking the truth. What do you say about this, Kaveri?"
Bua Dadi also said thoughtfully, "Yes, brother, the work is important. It's okay. Since the children have liked each other, there's no problem."
Anaya also said to herself, "This is good, I have time." And she placed her hand on her heart, but upon hearing this, Rohini Ji felt as if she would have a heart attack.
What did Rohini Ji say...
And what happened when Shreeda regained consciousness...

Aage,
Everyone was happily feeding each other sweets and celebrating the finalized engagement, but then Madhav said, "I cannot get married." Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Anaya, on the other hand, felt like dancing with joy. Madhav understood what Anaya was thinking, so he said again, "You all are misunderstanding. I mean, the marriage cannot happen right now because I am busy with a project, and it will take about six months to complete!"
Then Madhav's grandfather said, "No problem, we will get married after six months!"
Hearing his grandfather's words, Anaya became happy. She thought she had six months to postpone this marriage!
Just then, Rohini ji said, "No problem, we will schedule the wedding for six months later, but we can still have the engagement, right? And anyway, I want to make Anaya a part of my family as soon as possible." Happiness was visible on her face as she spoke!
While Anaya was rejoicing that she had time, that happiness didn't last long. She felt like she was having a heart attack, while a mischievous smile appeared on Madhav's face!
Anaya got up and went inside. Her leaving like that made everyone feel strange, so Manoj ji, trying to salvage the situation, said, "She seems to be shy. She is a girl, after all. She must have gotten shy seeing her engagement finalized and left."
Everyone agreed with Manoj ji's words, and no one reacted. After everything was over, Madhav and his family took their leave.
After they left, Bua Dadi happily said, "Thank you, Bholanath. Everything went well."
Then, looking at Manoj ji, she said, "Talk to Anaya once. She goes to the office, doesn't she? And she is on leave, so ask her what she wants to do about her work."
On Bua Dadi's words, Manoj ji said, "Okay, Bua Ji, I will talk to her," and he went to talk to Anaya.
Anaya went straight to Ravi and saw him busy on his phone. Anaya stood behind him, waiting for Ravi to be free.
Ravi knew Anaya was standing behind him, so without turning around, he said, "What happened? The engagement is finalized, right?"
Hearing Ravi's words, Anaya said, "Brother, how do you know the engagement is finalized?"
Then Ravi, putting his phone aside, said, "Because I saw her in the meeting, and I remembered that this is the same boy from the Ganga ghat. And the way he was looking at me, I felt he would get this marriage done."
Anaya sat next to Ravi and said, "What will happen now, brother? Things didn't turn out as I thought. What will happen now?"
Ravi kept looking at Anaya, as if trying to understand her.
Ravi suddenly said, "Anu, tell me one thing, how did sindoor fall on you from his hands at the ghat?"
Finding Ravi looking at her with such serious eyes, Anaya took a deep breath and said, "Brother, do you remember when you came to call me, I was talking on the phone? As soon as you arrived, I hung up and started going with you. You walked ahead while talking, and I was behind you when I saw an old lady's foot slip, and she was about to fall. Her belongings also fell. I saw you, and you had moved a little ahead. Before she could fall, I caught her, and as I bent down to pick up her purse, something fell on me. I was about to see what it was when you came forward, and after that, you know what happened."
After hearing everything from Anaya, Ravi said, "What do you think? Do you consider that accident a marriage?"
Hearing Ravi's words, Anaya said irritably, "Brother, it was just an accident. I don't consider it anything like that. He is not my husband, no way!"
Hearing "husband" from Anaya's mouth, Ravi said, "You're calling him husband?" Anaya looked at him angrily.
And she said, "I don't consider him my husband; rather, he considers me his wife!"
Ravi said confusedly, "Meaning?"
Then Anaya said, "You know, Bua sent me to talk on the terrace. I didn't see his face. I told him everything to refuse the marriage, and after saying all that, I looked at him, and he told me that he considers this relationship, and according to him, I am his wife!"
After listening to everything Anaya said, Ravi said, "Why didn't you explain it to him?"
Then Anaya said, "I tried, but he was saying that he has proof that I am his wife, and he will get married to me."
Hearing about the proof, Ravi was stunned because Jagdish Ji had said at the ghat that if sindoor falls on a girl from a boy's hands even once, that girl becomes his wife. And if Jagdish Ji came to know about it, he wouldn't miss an opportunity to scold Anaya!
Ravi was lost in his thoughts, but Anaya, looking at Ravi, thought to herself, "Sorry, brother, I didn't tell you what happened on the terrace completely, but even if I had, you couldn't have done anything other than worry! Now I will have to do something." There was confidence on her face as she spoke.
Just then, Manoj ji entered and said, "What is this? Agreed to the marriage?" Both of them snapped back to reality with Manoj's voice.
Seeing him, Anaya said, "Grandfather, I tried my best, but he was not ready to listen, and you told us that we are at Bua Ji's house right now, and there shouldn't be any drama. That's why I didn't say anything outside either!"
Hearing Anaya's words, Manoj ji remembered that he had forbidden any drama there. And Anaya's words were true; if she had said anything outside, it would have caused a scene. But now the problem had become bigger. What would Anaya do?
