Part 73 The Reception
After a week
Anjali's neck Band-Aid was removed. Though the wound healed the scar was still there, just like the scar created by Shyam in her heart. They started getting ready for the reception.
Arnav didn't let them go shopping but he brought the shops to RM. So that, they could select what they want, sitting at home relaxing.
As Arnav didn't have the patience to invite people to the reception, Aman and NK took responsibility. Nani and Anjali accompanied them to invite some important people. Even though people knew about Arnav they taunted him for not inviting them in person but Arnav didn't care about it, like always.
The reception program reached Arnav's parents also. They waited for Arnav or Nani to invite them. As it didn't happen, Amrita called Nani.
"Tell me," Nani said.
"How was the reception preparation?"
"Going good"
"Tell me if you want any help"
"No need... we have good people around us to help us"
"So, you don't want my help... right?"
"Yes..."
"Why Maa? Should not I be with my son at his good times?"
"The good times started arriving in his life when Khushi stepped into his life. You tried to ruin it to your level best by sending a girl. And, now, you are talking as if you are so much concerned about him"
"I thought he got married to her in the haste of satiation. That was why I liked to get him settled with Nikita"
"See, you won't understand what Chotte wants. So, I don't want to talk about it with you. You to stop interfering in his life."
"How could you say that? Who are you to say that?"
"Ok... I'm no one to say that... wait, your son will say that"
Nani passed the phone to Arnav who was listening to Nani silently. Taking the phone, Arnav spoke.
"Nani has all the rights to make decisions of whom to interfere in my life. I don't want you and your husband to poke your noses in my life. I thought you guys truly wanted my happiness but you crossed your limits. I don't even like to see you... stay away from me and my wife" His voice sounded strict.
Arnav disconnected the call. He passed the phone to Nani.
"Don't attend their call, Nani" Arnav said.
Nani nodded ok.
Arnav came to their room and Khushi followed him.
"Why are you so strict towards them?"
"They will start dominating me if I will be free with them"
"Can't you keep them in distance?"
"What I just did?"
"You disconnected them completely"
"Do you think they will be disconnected? They are shameless people. they won't mind getting slashed over again" Arnav said.
Khushi sighed.
"Leave them... such irritating creatures" Arnav annoyed.
Khushi saw Arnav's reception wear being untouched.
"Have not you checked it yet?"
"Yeah, will do it later"
"Arnavji, check it now. Then only we can alter it if it is not fit"
