"So you know that I want you to send your elder son to the military academy, there is one division in the army that deals with a special situation that equals to the impossible, and the members of that division are trained from the age of twelve and most of these children are later posted in RAW, IB or Special forces from Navy, Air force and Army. So what do you think are you going to send him to the military academy I will recommend him personally or you can tell him to participate in the entrance test."
Shree listened to the Suryapratap carefully and said, "Grandpa I will ask him about this if he agrees you can take him to the military academy."
"Okay, it settles then, good night young man."
"Good night Grandpa, see you in the morning."
After that Shree left for his room. When he arrived inside his room he saw Lavanya and Sonika discussing something. Sonika had a serious expression on her face and she looked at Shree with a condescending look.
"Hey Sonika, have kids gone to sleep already?" Sonika replied in a little cold voice.
"Oh that's good, Lavanya and you can stay in this room I will go and sleep with the kids. Good night then." Shree also quickly decided to leave the room as he didn't know what Lavanya had told to Sonika so before getting trapped in her questions and inquiries he decided to leave.
"Wait, we want to talk to you, it is about Lavanya?" Sonika stopped Shree and said.
"Ohh, w... w....wh... what do you want to talk about her?", Shree got very scared and started stuttering and said.
"As you know she can now stay outside the dimension and most of her powers are back we need to register her in our family so we can complete the documentation. I want to add her to our family registry instead of the main family but I am stuck at the relation. Do you have any Idea about it?" Sonika asked Shree after explaining the situation.
"Ohh..... it was about the relationship then don't worry we will decide about it later for now have a good night's sleep and remember we have many things to do tomorrow."
After saying this Shree avoided eye contact with Sonika and left the room.
The next day morning after finishing their daily morning activities all the family members wore new dresses and got ready for the ceremony of the day after marriage. On this day close relatives and sisters of the groom will prepare gifts for the bride and also invite them for breakfast.
Today Viraj and Sonali visited houses of the all close relatives and Viraj and Shaan were accompanying them. As compared to other siblings these juniors were very close to Viraj because they both were as strong as Viraj in strength.
The entire day Viraj and Sonali spend to visit these people evening when they returned their faces were very tired because of constant travelling.
On the other side Shree, Lavanya, and Sonia went to the office to check about the current production and distribution of the medicine which was going very smoothly.
The distribution of medicine was going on in a controlled manner and nothing disturbed the employees thanks to the digital distribution system.
As for the medicine shop, it was also going well with two new employees along with Dr. Kashi. After confirming that everything is going well Shree, Sonika, and Lavanya return to the mansion. On the way today Sonika dragged Shree to the shopping but thanks to Lavanya he got a breather because Lavanya convinced her to go without Shree for the shopping.
When the three of them arrived at the mansion in the evening all the ladies in the families preparing Prasad for tomorrow's pilgrimage to the Kula Devta or family god.
The next day morning everyone arrived at the gate of the mansion and got in the assigned cars for the travel. Today entire Raizada family along with the Bharadwaj and Kohli family left for the pilgrimage of the Kula Devta.
The location of Kula Devta was located in the Pune district of Maharashtra it was 7 hour's journey from their current location. After arriving at the location according to tradition the groom needs to carry his wife and climb the stairs which are more than a thousand. Viraj looked at Shree and teasingly said, "Do you remember Shree you were able to carry your wife up to only halfway but today I will carry her up to the top."
"Are you challenging me? Then let's see who reaches the top carrying their bride." Saying this Shree instantly stretched his hands pulled Sonika in his embrace and carried her in his hands like a prince and started running to the top. Behind him, Viraj also did the same but he started late because of that there was a gap of more than 10 stairs.
This scene shocked all the worshippers and family members as their speed was very abnormal they were running like they were alone. After 15 minutes of continuous run Shree and Sonika arrived first at the top after him Viraj arrived with his wife.
Shree teasingly smiled at Viraj, "Bro you are still far away from me, just remember that I didn't join the army or else I may be best in the SF."
"Hump.... you cheated you start early and ran without saying anything," Viraj complained in an agitated voice.
"Bro, Everything is fair in love and war," Shree replied to him with a smile.
At the top they both waited until their family arrived once everyone arrived they went inside the Mandapa of the temple visited the priest and submitted the Prasad to him after that priest took them inside the Garbhagriha where the idol of the main Deity was kept.
Everyone from the family bent down and touched their head to the ground in front of the idol and took a blessing from the god.
Once everyone came out of the Garbhagriha they did Pradakshina to the main deity after that they came out of the temple in sat inside the Mandapa.
Inside Mandapa Naryanarao donated money in the name of the temple and then everyone shared the Prasad and ate it.
Ladies went shopping around the temple as from ancient times these temples were hubs of the market because that market around the temple was full of many things to buy for the ladies. After spending some time and having food in a nearby restaurant everyone left for Shirpur city.
At midnight everyone reaches back home. After that everyone who were tired from the travel went to their respective rooms instantly without saying anything.
Shree also went to his room and saw that Sonika was sleeping so he also went close to her and went inside the blanket and then he pulled her into his embrace and held her tightly. At that time suddenly the door to the bathroom opened and Sonika came outside when Shree saw her standing at the bathroom door he instantly removed the blanket and realized that he was embracing Lavanya in his hands. He immediately left her and got away from her and looked at his wife in confusion.
"Sonika, so you were in the bathroom and Lavanya was inside the blanket and accidentally thought it was you and held her in my embrace. Sorry about that, Sorry Lavanya for my misbehavior." Shree accepted his mistake genuinely in front of Sonika.
Sonika also understood the situation and said nothing to him. Lavanya who was already woken up when he pulled her into the embrace was looking at Sonika and Shree with red faces. Then after some time she took a deep breath and said with a sad look, "I am very sorry both of you, this happened because of me, I will go to another room to sleep you both can sleep here."
At that time Sonika said with a smile, "It was just an accident, nothing bad happened at least so don't worry and you can sleep with me here. Shree will go out and sleep with children."
Shree stood up dejectedly and gave one look at Sonika and left the room. Once he left the room he heard giggles of both women. It was a prank played on him by Sonika and Lavanya.
"Hump next time I will not only embrace you, I will directly do some more things even Sonika came to stop me I will not stop. Just you wait..." Shree thought this in his mind and entered the room where Shaan and Akshay were sleeping.
