Vrinda's Pov:
"Thank God, I had my medicine yesterday after my dinner. I am feeling much better now. But what is the time now? Oh ! No, it's quarters to 7. Now I have to get ready quickly and help Grandma. She must be scolding me for being a lazy person. "
She got ready and went to the kitchen. She saw Arjun having his coffee. He gave her a nod as an acknowledgment and made a way to his room.
Vrinda: "Good morning Grandma. How are you?. What are you doing this early in the morning?. let me help you. "
Grandma: " Morning . You need not help me. I can do my work. I am not that old to depend on others. Here, have this turmeric milk first. "
Vrinda got hurt listening to her taunts. She wants to know why everyone hates her so much. She wants to get this issue resolved. So she asked her Grandma directly.
Vrinda: "Grandma, you hate me so much. Don't you?"
Grandma: " Chi, pichi pilla(mad girl). Where did you get this thought from?. How can I hate you? You kids are the only memories left for me in this life. Don't even let stupid thoughts get into your brain. Chi, stop crying ra thalli. You are my lovely granddaughter. But I was angry with you. You never came to see this old Grandma at least for once after your parents death. Why?. Don't you like to see me? And this is how you take care of yourself. Look at yourself. How weak you are looking. Now, tell me, how is your fever?"
Vrinda: "No, Grandma, I want to come here and spend some time with you. But I was afraid that even you would hate me. So I restricted myself . I love you so much. Now come , I want a hug from you. "
They embraced each other and Grandma comforted Vrinda with her soothing words.
Grandma: " Now tell me. How are you feeling ? Shall we go to the hospital? ".
Vrinda: "No Grandma. That's not necessary. I had my medicine yesterday. I'm absolutely fine . What do you want me to do now? I'll help you."
Grandma: " You make the batter of this soaked moong dal and chop the coconut for chutney. Before you start anything, have your turmeric milk first. In the meantime, I 'll make upma and ginger chutney. "
After having turmeric milk, Vrinda prepared the batter for the dosa and also the coconut chutney. She helped her Grandma with the upma and ginger chutney. After preparing breakfast, they arranged the dining table.
They called Arjun for breakfast, and Vrinda asked her Grandma to sit with him so that she could serve them. After they had their breakfast, Vrinda had her's. She asked her Grandma to rest for a while. She resumed the work of managing the servants.
At around 10:30 when Vrinda was making some juice for herself, Grandma and Arjun, Grandma came back to the kitchen to start preparing for lunch. Vrinda gave her the juice while she had her share. She made her way to Arjun 's room and knocked it. The door was opened and Vrinda gestured him towards the juice. He had his juice, and while giving the glass back, he said.
Arjun: " Are you ok now?. If yes, I have something to tell."
Vrinda: " I'm fine now. Yes, tell me what it is?".
Arjun: " Get ready early tomorrow. We are going somewhere. By the way, do you have your identity proofs with you? I think your 10th certificate is with Grandma . I need it along with the other proofs. "
Vrinda: " Why do you need all those and where are we going?."
Arjun: " Why do you ask me so many questions? Do what I say. Quit irritating me. Will you?. "
Vrinda: " Stop shouting at me. I'll get you all the documents you require . Do whatever you want with them. "
Saying this she went back to the kitchen to help her Grandma.
Arjun(in his mind) : " You have a voice, my little rabbit."
When she reached the kitchen, her Grandma was nowhere seen. As it's nearing 11, she thought of preparing lunch. She started chopping the vegetables for sambar. She made dal, brinjal curry, sambar, and madras cucumber chutney. By the time she was done preparing the lunch it's around 12:15. In the meantime, she prepared rice .
After completing the kitchen work, she spent some time watching TV.
Grandma's (Savitri Amma) Pov:
I want to have a word with Govind Rajan. I want to know why Arjun came to India suddenly. I know he is hiding something from me. So I came to my room and called Govind. The new information which I received astonished me. Vrinda was kidnaped 3 months back, so Arjun settled all his work in the US to take care of Vrinda and Lakshya. He was planning to restart our business. He worked very hard to arrange the financial resources. I was kept in the dark when my children underwent so much trouble. What sort of Grandma am I , when I'm helpless to them. I felt ashamed of myself. Now I'm really worried about Vrinda. How can we protect her?. If I can get her married , then her husband will take care of her. But Madhav (her father) wanted Vrinda to get married to Arjun, and we wished for the same.
Madhav was a wise man. He always admired Arjun and he adored him. He wanted Arjun and Vrinda to inherit his business. He always thought Arjun was a prospective husband for Vrinda. He had so much trust in Arjun. That's the reason why I want Arjun to rethink the jewelry business.
Actually, Madhav started this jewelry business and my son Surya joined him after a few years. They worked very hard, and their hard work paid them well. But all the days are not ours. Due to that tragic accident, I am left alone with the kids . We lost everyone and everything at the same time. We are left with a small farm land and a house that belongs to my daughter (Vrinda 's mom). He knew that his daughter 's happiness was Arjun. But what is bothering me is how can I convince my children into this marriage. Oh God, please show me some way to solve this problem.
Thank you.
Bye. Take care.
Stay safe and healthy.
