Akaash POV:-
I was happy after I talked to Teja.
I am happy she is ready to give her mother's family a chance.
I know they don't deserve it after the damage they have done to her and her family.
But at least, they will apologize to her.
I don't want Teja to accept them, but she should at least forgive them.
So, she can start a new life with me happily and without any regret.
I will respect her decision.
Right now, we are standing in the hall and looking at our swords.
Yes, our family did chaak pooja. So, now it's time for shastra pooja.
As Teja is going to be a royal prince bride, Teja and I both will have swords.
Even in our wedding, the priest will worship our swords before our wedding.
My brother Mayank and Jasminder worshipped my sword and Teja's sword with the priest.
We are joining our hands and looking at them carefully.
After the pooja, Mayank bhai gave me my sword, and Jasi gave Teja her sword.
We took our swords and lowered our heads in front of swords in respect.
Teja moved her sword like a perfectionist sword woman.
Everyone looked at her with shock.
" Have you ever done sword training? " Uncle asked.
" No, uncle. Tbh (To Be Honest), I never touched a sword ever in my life. But I felt an urge to move the sword.
Let's forget it. " Teja replied and shrugged.
" I have called the Gothwal family, and they will be here by evening.
Dad! Papa! Have you arranged the chunar? I am asking because I didn't tell them about our marriage. They didn't know anything about my bhaat.
I don't want to insult them in front of our relatives. So... " Before Teja could complete her sentence, Teja's fathers hugged her.
They broke the hug, and Papa Ji said, " Teja, thank you for giving them a chance.
I know they have hurt you badly, but you are still thinking about their image. I am glad to hear that.
Don't worry about the chunar. We have arranged everything for them. We will also arrange everything for them. Don't worry.
I just want your happiness, princess. "
Teja smiled and kissed their cheeks.
" and I want satisfaction and relief in your eyes, dad, and papa. I love you both!
Also, I apologize for my rude behavior. I know I shouldn't behave like that. I am sorry. Please forgive your silly Teja. " Teja said, and every smiled.
They kissed her forehead and said in unison, " You are not silly. You are a genius. "
Everyone laughed, and then our family started to put haldi on us.
After haldi, Teja and I went to our room for a shower.
I am happy to see Teja's smile back just like she smiled when she was 16.
I hope this smile never fades again after so many years.
Teja POV:-
I took a shower. I came to my room and saw my son looking at me with worried eyes.
I lowered myself in front of him and sat on my knees.
" My son, I heard you cry because your mother yelled at your grandpa. Is it true? " I asked politely.
" Mumma, I thought you got mad because of me.
Please yell at me if you think I did something wrong. But never leave your Vinu, please! " Vihaan said, and tears formed in my eyes.
I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly.
" Sorry, my son. Your Mumma was upset at that time. Your mother will never leave you alone again.
Your mother will never yell at you as you are momma's good boy.
Mumma loves her Vinu, okay? " I said, and he nodded with a smile.
" Now, Mumma will make Vinu laugh! " I said and started tickling him.
He started to laugh loudly, and I laughed along with him.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and I said, come in.
Bubbly opened the door and came with Jaspreet.
I turned towards Vihaan and said, " Vihaan! Go with Jaspreet and play! "
Vihaan nodded and held Jaspreet's hands.
Both children ran while giggling and left us alone in my room.
" Bubbly! Come! " I said and sat on the bed.
Bubbly sat in front of me and looked at me with one emotion, annoyed.
" Why are you looking so annoyed? " I asked, and she took a deep breath.
" Di! Sometimes I feel I don't know you at all.
When maa died, I called them, and you remembered how badly you yelled at me.
You know we both hate them, and we don't want to see their faces in our life ever again.
Then why did you call them?
What happened to you, di?
When did you change?
You are not that di I knew. " Bubbly said, and I sighed.
" Bubbly, I know you are mad at me for many things.
But trust me, this will be the last time we will see their faces.
I know you hate them. Do you think I forgave them and let those people come into our lives?
No!
I may forgive them for what they did to us, but I will never forgive them.
Look, you know I am going to start a new life with Akaash.
I want my life with everyone happy and without my terrible past.
I forgave Tanish just because of dad and mom's happiness and my new life.
I forgave Srishti for Akaash, Vihaan, and my life.
I accept papa because of everyone's happiness. I don't want my son to hate our father because of me.
I want to give happiness to our children, unlike our terrible fate.
That's why I decided to let them come here.
You know very well that our cousins were innocent.
Harshi died.
But Nitika, Subhash, Vaishnavi, Maya, Diana, Suresh, and Nishchay are all innocent.
We can't punish them for their elder's mistakes.
That's why they all will come.
They will meet us for one last time.
Then we will let India.
You will go back to Canada, and I will go back to London and start a new life.
I think this is the time to leave everything behind like betrayal, pain, hurt, distrust, and agony.
Now, we will leave India with peace in our hearts and with our love partners to start a peaceful life.
And this time, no trouble comes to our life. " I explained, and she nodded with a smile.
" You are right, di. I am with you. " Bubbly said and hugged me.
I hugged her back with a smile.
I broke our hug, and she raised her palm in front of me.
I looked at her palm with confusion.
" Di, I want a promise this time.
You hid everything from me when you got married to that bastard.
This time, I want you to promise me that you will never hide anything from me.
If Akaash bhai ever hurt you, you will tell me.
I will beat him for hurting my sister. " Bubbly said, and I laughed.
" You don't need to hurt him, baby girl. " I said and pinched her nose.
" I am powerful now. No one dares to hurt me now.
Also, this time I will not let anyone hurt me.
But for your satisfaction, I promise you. " I said and put my palm on hers.
She smiled and chuckled.
" Di, I am so happy to see you like this. You are amazing. You achieved everything yourself. I am proud to have you as my sister. " Bubbly said, and I smiled.
Someone knocked on my door again, and I replied, come in.
A maid came and said, " Miss, your guests arrived. "
Bubbly and I looked at each other, and I said, " You can go now. We are coming. "
She left, and we both took a deep breath to prepare ourselves for our emotional war.
