ARRANGED MARRIAGE 1313 (English version)

Chapter 14

HERE WE GO.......

Third person's POV:

"Listern!!! Tomorrow we have to go shopping for Roka. Let's just make a list of gifts which are to be given to Sidharth's family." Shehnaaz's mom said.

"Yes!!! I have thinking about the same." Shehnaaz's dad replied.

"I was thinking that it's better that the gold chain and locket Shehnaaz's grandmother gave to you and she wanted you to pass it on to your son, we can give that to Sidharth rather than buying one. At the end, he would be like our son only. And it won't be easy to find a better and heavy gold chain nowadays."

"Nice idea. That is a very good chain. It's confirmed then."

"Let's also buy a gold chain for Guptaji. And I will buy a nice gold set for Vishakha ji."

"You should buy a gold set for Srishti also and a gold chain for Akash ji. And yes, Don't forget to buy gold earrings for Riya."

"Ji ji Okay."

"And you know my friend Rampal, right? He owns a very great banquet hall...."

Tring Tring Tring.....

"Hello" Shehnaaz's mom picked up the phone.

"Hello Amrita! This is vishakha." Sidharth's mom replied.

"Namaste!!!"

"Namaste!! Actually I called to suggest that we elders don't know what is the latest trend and fashion these days. So, it will be better that Shehnaaz and Sidharth go together to buy dress for their Roka. Srishti will also help them."

"Ji ji, We ourselves were talking about Roka preparations only. It will be good if kids themselves select their Roka dresses. Also, Could you please tell us the amount of people you will have from your side on Roka? We will book hotel accordingly."

"Ji! From our side, there will be approx. 60-70 people in Roka."

"Ji ji!! We will also have around same number people. Great then!!! Could you also tell us what are the rituals you guys have in a Roka Ceremony? Is their anything special we need to prepare?"

"Ji! Actually nothing special ritual happens our side, you can prepare whatever you wish. We don't have any demands. Yes but all the functions in Srishti's wedding were held in 5-star hotel. Now, Sidharth is our only boy, so all we want is that everything should be perfect."

"Ji ji!!! Shehnaaz is also our only child. So, Everything ours is her's only."

"We ourselves gave gold to Srishti's in-laws. You know Sharma hotels, right? The 5-star hotel of that time. That's we did her Roka. Srishti doesn't like to wear gold, so for every occasion we gifted her diamond only. Rest depend on you guys, from our side we don't have any pressure or demands."

"Ji ji. Great then. I will talk to Shehnaaz's dad about hotel and then tell you regarding the same."

Shehnaaz's mom cuts the call.

"Tell me, What did Vishakha ji called about?" Shehnaaz's dad asked.

"There will be approximately 60-70 people from their side and around the same amount of people will be from our side."

"That's fine. And?"

"Ji! Actually, their expectations are a little higher than what we thought. They wish that all the functions should be held in 5-star hotels. Look they didn't say anything directly but the way of her speaking made it pretty obvious that is what they want. And Srishti doesn't wear gold, then we have to gift her something of diamond only because we can't go any less than that. And if we gift Srishti something made of diamond, then for sure we have to gift Vishakha ji diamond too."
