Chapter 7

                                    

                                          
Sana's throat tightened as she struggled to hold back tears. Her voice, though trembling, was resolute.
“I am ready, Uncle,” she said, her words heavy with emotion.
Gautam Ji looked at her with deep concern. 
“No, Sana, don’t let Tania’s words get to you,” 
he urged, trying to offer comfort.
But Sana shook her head, her resolve unshaken despite her tears. 
“No, Uncle. Chachi is right. How long will I stay with you all like this? I am ready. Please accept the alliance.”
Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked out, leaving behind a room filled with stunned silence.
The quiet was soon shattered by Sahil’s angry outburst. He slammed his hand on the table, the noise reverberating through the room. 
“Chachi! How could you be so heartless? You should have shown some sympathy!”
Tania’s face turned pale as the gravity of the situation became clear. She tried to respond, but no words came out.
Nikhil, visibly enraged, joined in. 
“You are sick, Tania! I regret marrying a woman like you. You have no sensitivity, even for a child. How could you be so cruel?”
His voice was sharp, laden with disappointment and frustration. The family’s displeasure was palpable, and Tania was left to confront the harsh reality of her thoughtless comment.
Chetna Ji, her voice steady and firm, added, 
“Tania, your words were out of line. Sana is like family to us. She deserves our support, not condemnation.”
As the family rallied around Sana, offering their apologies and reaffirming their support, Tania was left to face the consequences of her insensitivity. The confrontation underscored the family’s deep care and commitment to Sana’s well-being, leaving Tania to grapple with the realization of her mistake.
Sana, despite the emotional turmoil, felt a renewed sense of support from the family. The confrontation had been painful, but it reinforced the love and solidarity surrounding her. As she found a quiet space to gather her thoughts, she hoped for a future where she could embrace new beginnings with the unwavering support of those who truly cared for her.

The morning in Dutta Villa was as usual: bustling with the normal activities of the household. Yet, there was a subtle but noticeable change in Sidharth. His usually sharp and focused demeanor seemed slightly off; he was more distracted than usual, and his mind seemed preoccupied.
Janhavi, his sister-in-law, picked up on the change immediately. Having known Sidharth for years, she could tell when something was not quite right. Despite her concern, Sidharth brushed off her inquiries with a polite but vague response. He insisted that everything was fine, attributing his demeanor to nothing more than a passing distraction.
Later that morning, Kushal ji, Sidharth’s father, gathered the family for an announcement. The atmosphere was charged with curiosity as he began to speak.
“Everybody, I have something important to share,” 
Kushal Ji said with a serious but pleased expression. 
“I have been considering potential matches for Sidharth. After much deliberation, I have identified a young woman who I believe would make a wonderful partner for him and a Perfect Daughter-inlaw for this house just like Jahnavi!”
Janhavi’s ears perked up at the mention of a potential match for Sidharth. She had always been supportive of her brother-in-law and was keen to see him happy. As Kushal ji continued, describing the girl’s qualities, Janhavi listened with rapt attention.
“She is a woman of exceptional grace and charm,” Kushal Ji said with evident approval.
“Her family is well-regarded, and she possesses qualities that align beautifully with our values and expectations.”
Janhavi’s interest was piqued. From what Kushal Ji described, the girl seemed like an excellent match for Sidharth. It was clear that he had high regard for her, which only added to her curiosity.
Later that day, Janhavi decided to speak with Sidharth again, this time to discuss the matter more directly. She approached him with a warm, encouraging demeanor, hoping to ease his mind.
“Sidharth,” she began gently, 
“I understand that you’ve been a bit distracted lately. I heard about the potential match our family is considering for you. What are your thoughts on this?”
Sidharth looked at her, a mixture of relief and apprehension crossing his face. 
“Honestly, Bhabhi, I’m not sure what to think. I haven’t had much time to process it. The girl seems wonderful, but I’m still trying to come to terms with my own feelings and what I want.”
Janhavi nodded sympathetically. 
“tumhara Aisa sochna understandable hain Sidharth. It’s a significant decision, and it’s important that you give yourself the space to think about it. From what I’ve heard, she sounds like an exceptional person. It might be worth getting to know her better before making any decisions.”
Sidharth sighed, clearly appreciative of her support. 
“I suppose you’re right. I’ll need to meet her and see how I feel. It’s just been a lot to take in all at once.”
Janhavi smiled reassuringly. 
“Take your time, Sidharth. There’s no rush. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in your decision. And remember, Hum hain Aapke Decision ke support mein! Chahe woh Haan ho Ya Naah.”
As the day progressed, Sidharth felt a renewed sense of calm. Janhavi’s understanding and encouragement had helped him refocus. He knew he had a lot to consider, but with the support of his family and the opportunity to get to know the potential match better, he felt more prepared to face the future.

Sahil's wedding proceeded with a vibrant mix of joy and celebration, and amidst the festivities, Sana found herself absorbed in the happiness of the occasion. For the first time in a while, her past miseries seemed to fade into the background as she worked alongside friends and family, embracing the spirit of the event.
During this time, Sana and Sidharth developed a growing closeness. Their interactions, initially casual and friendly, began to deepen as they spent more time together. They would engage in easy conversation, share laughter, and support each other through the busy days of wedding preparations. Their moments together were marked by an undeniable sense of ease and enjoyment.
Sidharth, typically reserved and introspective, found himself drawn to Sana’s genuine warmth and charm. He began to look forward to their conversations, cherishing the way she made him feel understood and appreciated. Her presence had become a highlight of his days, and he enjoyed the subtle, yet meaningful connection they were building.
