My Accidental Marriage

Chapter 2 | Traveling

The college day was really hectic for Khushi , but the most hectic part of her day was waiting for her at home. When she reached home around 5:30, Khushi was rushed into the kitchen to prepare  evening snacks for her Chachaji  who would be home soon before she started to prepare dinner. Around 7 was when she cleaned everything up and set the cooked food in it's containers before heading to her room.

Most of her evening from 7 to 9 went by while chatting with her dadi and studying or working on college assignments and projects. Today, Khushi sat between her Dadi's legs on the floor as her Dadi oiled her hair while they chatted.

Dadi:(laughs)"and then you know what you used to do?"

Khushi :(smiled)"What dadi?"

Dadi:"you used to sit on your dad's leg and be like no no no.. You hated when your dad went to his office. Sometimes he would take you along and you would acted like being the boss of everyone at his office"

Khushi :(slightly shy)"I was 6 Dadii"

Dadi:"The cutest 6 year old I have ever seen. The best child every parents deserves"

Khushi :(sighed suddenly missing her parents)" not the best dadi. Maybe the worst. Or god wouldn't have taken my parents away from me.(A tear slipped down her eyes)"Why did they leave me dadi. Am I so bad. Did I commit such a big crime. Why did god trap us here with chachi and chacha"

Dadi:"No baccha.. it's not your fault. In fact I am so sorry It's all my fault"

Khushi :"No dadi"

Dadi:"No beta. I failed in raising my own son well. See how much of a terrible son I have given  birth to. The one who would care less if his mother died. The one who I think has no sadness of his brothers death. The one who is so heartless to treat his own brother's daughter like a slave. And all I can do is watch. Because without them, we would have been on the streets. With them we would have been dead too"

Khushi :"Don't say that Dadi...Don't feel sorry for me. Maybe I just deserve this "

Dadi:"Don't worry Khushi . I am sure god has something extraordinary planned for you. you deserve the world Khushi and you will get it. "

Khushi :"I don't know about the world or anything else but dadi don't worry. Just one more year then you and I will go very far away from here"(Dadi patted her hair praying to god to give Khushi the happiness she deserves)

Later that night Khushi and Dadi both were informed of the a very distant relatives wedding that would be held tomorrow evening.  The whole sharma Family was invited so they are to leave tomorrow morning to Lucknow by train.

Meanwhile situation were slightly different at Malhotra house...

Around late 8 Pm was when Dadu got a phone call from his old friend about the wedding invitation of next day. He assured that he would come and would bring his Grandsons too. Dadu had already told Rohan and Shubham and shurti about his decision but Manish was still unaware as he came home late.

Though when Manish first heard about this wedding he was not interested at all and requested his dadu to not pressure him but later agreed when he learned that he would get to be away from few certain people for 2 to 3 days. Being Away from Shubham and Shruti, plus a trip with his Dadu and Rohan seemed fun so he agreed.

Both the families set off to the wedding location by their respective conveyance next morning. The sharma's took the fastest train from Delhi to Lucknow at around 4 in the morning that would make them reach Lucknow around 12 or 1 in the afternoon. While the Malhotra took their car on a road trip of 7 or so hours planning to reach Lucknow around 5 in the evening. The wedding was to start at 6:30 giving both the family enough time to  get ready.
