During evening tea, everyone gathered except Aryan, who was engrossed in his work in his study. Without disturbing him, the rest started enjoying their tea. Nita, however, brought up the topic of Aryan's marriage.
Understanding Nita's concern, Grandma also joined her, expressing her desire to see Aryan get married.
As Sameer had conducted a background check on Disha and shared all the details with Nita and Raj, Nita brought up the idea that Disha might be the perfect girl for Aryan.
Nita, sipping her tea, remarked, "You know, Sameer shared some impressive details about Disha. She seems like a wonderful match for Aryan, don't you think?"
Raj, nodding in agreement, replied, "Yes, Disha does seem like a suitable match for Aryan. It's worth considering."
Sameer handed his phone to Grandpa and Grandma, proudly displaying a photo of Disha on the screen.
Grandpa, with a discerning eye, could tell from the photo that Disha seemed like a good girl, and Grandma readily agreed.
Vidyut's mother Aishwarya Singhania, without wasting any time, glanced at Disha's photo, focusing on her simple clothing, and began mocking Nita.
Vidyut's father chuckled proudly at his wife's remark, causing Vidyut to squirm in visible irritation.
Vidyut assertively took the mobile from his mother's hand, giving her a slight scare.
Vidyut: "Enough of your remarks, Mom. Let's not judge someone based on appearances."
Aishwarya responded with a displeased expression, acknowledging Vidyut's comment without saying anything.
He handed it back to Sameer, accompanied by a compliment for Disha.
Vidyut complimented Disha, saying, "She does seem quite impressive."
Aishwarya expressed her frustration, "It's always about Aryan's marriage. What about Vidyut? He's also of the same age!"
Grandpa, understanding Aishwarya's concern, chuckled, "Aishwarya, don't worry. We appreciate Vidyut just as much. These discussions come up, but we value both our grandsons equally."
Vidyut interjected, "I'm not ready for marriage yet."
Vidyut's father scolded him, telling him to stay quiet as the elders would decide when it's the right time for him to get married.
Vidyut, realizing there was no point in arguing, left the living room and walked towards his room.
Nita, with an intrigued expression, asked Sameer to share more details about Disha, stating, "Tell us more about her, Sameer. Everyone must be curious to know about the girl who might be a good match for Aryan."
Sameer shared detailed information about Disha, explaining that she comes from a family where her father, a government employee, is set to retire next year. Disha is the only daughter, and her mother is a housewife. Currently, she has begun working in an IT firm.
When Sameer paused, Aishwarya interjected, asking, "And? What about Disha's wealth? Are we going to bring in another middle-class daughter-in-law?" She directed this remark towards Nita.
Nita was about to reply, but Grandma interrupted, saying, "I was from a middle-class background only. I didn't know you have a problem with middle-class people." Aishwarya fell silent, not knowing what to say next.
Grandma, a bit annoyed with Aishwarya's constant remarks, turned towards Nita.
Grandma sternly said, "Nita, it's time you send the marriage proposal. Let's make it official." Nita, with a smile, replied, "Absolutely, Mom. I'll take care of it."
Aryan, immersed in his work in the study, remained unaware that discussions about his marriage were taking place among the family members. In the midst of his concentration, Sameer interrupted by tapping on his door.
Sameer entered, and Aryan, slightly annoyed by the interruption, remarked, "What are you doing here? I have work to finish. Go."
Sameer, ignoring Aryan's words, sat down on the side sofa and began recounting the discussion that took place in the living room.
Aryan's eyes shot in Sameer's direction upon hearing his words.
For a few seconds, Aryan remained quiet, then resumed working, dismissing Sameer's words, insisting that Sameer was lying.
Sameer, with a knowing smile, replied, "Well, let's see how long you can keep denying it, my friend."
Aryan, perplexed, questioned Sameer's words, "Are you being truthful about this? Is my marriage really being discussed?"
Sameer nodded and said, "Absolutely. They're seriously considering Disha for you. A marriage proposal might be on its way."
Without hesitation, Aryan swiftly made his way to the living room, colliding with Vidyut in the hallway. Ignoring Vidyut, he continued his determined sprint toward the living room.
Nita, with a smile, informed Aryan about the proposal for Disha, and everyone looked at him expectantly. Aryan, caught off guard, tried to process the sudden revelation.
Aryan: "Disha? Why Disha?"
Nita: "She seems like a wonderful match, dear. We thought it's time for you to settle down."
Aryan (confused): "Settle down? But I haven't even considered..."
Grandma (interjecting): "Love can blossom in unexpected places, Aryan. Give it a chance."
Aryan, feeling overwhelmed, firmly denied the marriage proposal.
Aryan: "No, I can't accept this. I need to make my own decisions about my life."
Nita, with a reassuring smile, said, "Aryan, it's a good match. Disha is a wonderful girl."
Aryan, determined, replied, "I appreciate the concern, but I am not ready for marriage. Please understand, I need to focus on my career right now."
Aishwarya commented towards Nita, "Your son is not ready at all. He's not even listening to you, and here you are daydreaming about his marriage."
Aryan got angry at his aunt's remark, but Nita held his hand, silently signaling him not to react.
Sameer and Vidyut also reached there. On the way to the hallway, Sameer filled him in with all the details.
Upon seeing Vidyut, Aishwarya mocked Nita, saying that her son will get married if she says so.
Vidyut, seizing the opportunity, expressed interest and stated that he is okay with marrying Disha if Aryan is not interested.
Aishwarya's mouth hung open in shock, and everyone else looked at Vidyut in surprise. Aryan, on the other hand, was boiling with anger.
Grandpa closely observed Aryan's expressions in response to Vidyut's statement and asked Vidyut if he was serious about what he had just said.
Vidyut, with a determined look, responded, "Yes, Grandpa, I am serious. If Aryan is not willing, I am open to marrying Disha."
Aryan, unable to contain his frustration, charged towards Vidyut, vehemently stating, "No, you will not marry her. I'm the one marrying her, and you will see it."
The room fell into stunned silence as Aryan's passionate declaration hung in the air. The unexpected twist had caught everyone off guard, leaving them in a state of collective astonishment. Aryan's bold proclamation about marrying Disha resonated with an intensity that rippled through the room.
Grandpa, still keenly observing the unfolding drama, raised an eyebrow, perhaps foreseeing the complications that lay ahead. Nita, torn between maternal concern and the sudden turn of events, struggled to find words. Vidyut, faced with Aryan's vehement opposition, remained composed, though the shock was evident in his eyes.
The revelation had injected a new layer of complexity into the family dynamics, leaving a lingering tension that begged for resolution. The silence that followed echoed with unspoken questions, awaiting the next chapter in this unforeseen family saga.
Aryan, fueled by his determined declaration, turned to Nita, urging her to send the marriage proposal. Nita, still recovering from the unexpected twist of events, could only nod in response. Aryan, without waiting for further acknowledgment, retreated to his study, leaving the room in a state of contemplative silence. The decision to pursue this uncharted path had been made, setting the stage for a series of events that would shape the future of the family.
Nita, with an apologetic expression, approached Vidyut, acknowledging Aryan's intense reaction. Vidyut, understanding the situation, gently held her hand and reassured her that there was no need for apologies. The tension in the room seemed to gradually subside, but the repercussions of Aryan's unexpected declaration lingered in the air.
Nita, curious about Vidyut's true intentions, directly asked him if he was genuinely interested in Disha. Vidyut, aware of Aryan's strong-willed nature, promptly responded with a firm "no." He understood that, given the circumstances, Aryan might never willingly acknowledge his feelings for someone, and Vidyut felt the need to intervene.
Vidyut, holding Nita's hand, assured her, "Aunty, don't worry. I respect Aryan's feelings. I only spoke up to ease the tension. I have no intention of pursuing anything with Disha." Nita, relieved, thanked Vidyut for his understanding.
As everyone dispersed, Grandpa affirmed that they would send the marriage proposal to Disha the next day, marking a significant turn of events in the Singhania household.
Grandma, visibly shocked by the confrontation between her two grandsons, couldn't help but ask her husband why he insisted on the marriage proposal, especially after witnessing the heated exchange between Aryan and Vidyut. Grandpa calmly responded, "Sometimes, my dear, decisions need to be made despite the conflicts. We must consider Aryan's feelings."
Grandma, though still puzzled, respected his decision and didn't press further on the matter.
Aryan immersed himself in work until late into the night, avoiding any confrontation. Nita came twice to call him for dinner, but he insisted that he would have it later and gently declined her offers.
After everyone had retired for the night, and Sameer had already left for his home, Aryan headed to his room. Quickly freshening up, he lay on his bed, contemplating the upcoming marriage proposal that his family would be sending and wondering about the reaction of the wild cat, Disha.
Aryan, after a tumultuous day, finally found solace in the embrace of peaceful sleep. His thoughts about the impending marriage proposal and the wild cat, Disha, gradually faded as he drifted into a serene slumber.
In a drowsy state, Disha stirred from her short nap and descended the stairs, making her way toward the kitchen.
After quenching her thirst with water, Disha headed to the TV, joining her mom and dad to enjoy an evening show together.
Disha's mother asked, "How was your meeting with Kajal?" Disha replied, "It was great, Mom. We're planning to meet again soon. And yes, I'll invite her for lunch someday." Her mother smiled, "That sounds wonderful, dear. Let me know when, and we can make it happen."
Preparing for the workweek, Disha had an early dinner and, after wishing her parents goodnight, retired to her room for some much-needed sleep.
Unable to shake off her encounter with Aryan, Disha turned to a book to distract herself. Eventually, as she immersed herself in the pages, sleep took over, the book still in her hand.
