MOST AWAITED DINNER PART 2

 

                         Amar's mom was telling about her son , how early he got ready to come , Anjali , Philips and others were laughing , everyone was happy , Anjali called  Panchi , she told her to bring Chhaya to drawing room .

           Anirudh , halted his steps , he want to know who the guests were , by that time Sumit and Anu reached him , he went forward , Anjali stood up to greet Anu , she came here first time , 

            Anjali caught Anu on one hand and then turned towards Anirudh , calling him to come near , 

                             Very proudly she introduced them to her guest , to Amars parents  " my eldest son Anirudh and his fiancee Anu , " 

       Amar was both happy and surprised , he smiled looking to Anu , very much Indian , but not a match for dashing Anirudh , his friend .

          Amars parents  were  delighted to meet the couple and that too in Indian saree at this place .

           Sumit was standing behind them , hurriedly , he went to the other side in long strides , to keep the presents .

            Anu was shocked to hear this .....she was looking towards Sumit , but he was talking to Neel , shaking his head  Neel gave her a look , and instantly looked away .

           Panchi and Chhaya was descending the stairs , both looked extremely beautiful , 

          They heard their mom's words .......and soon they saw what she was telling .....

            Chhaya couldn't take another step ....she saw her husband standing close to Anu , Anu was wearing one of her saree.... they look like a happy couple .

         Today was their last chance to disclose everything , to comeout clean , it was so foolish of her to expect so much from him , instead of clearing doubts ...he did this .............

               How could he do this , she was now totally heart broken .........

              Last time Anirudh promised her ....he promised that this time he will tell everything , all the truth about them ...

            the picture infront of her ..........tears blinded her eyes 

             she want to run away ......again 

                               Panchi was equally shocked , she was shocked because Anu was double crossing , 

            with both her brothers .........

                                 However , Amar saw them first , he stood up , Anjali followed his eyes and saw both her daughters , both looked best , one in saree another in lehenga .

           Sumit saw Chhaya was not moving , he went ahead and somewhat pulled her , 

           Anjali took her towards Amar's parents , she touched their feet and took blessings .

          Chhaya  sat beside Amar , Anirudh and Anu was told to sit on the sofa  facing them .

           Panchi brought tea for everyone , Sumit and Neel helped her bringing the home made snacks .

            Amar's mom called her to sit next to her , Panchi innocently  went and sat ..........

           Tea went on  for hours  ,  the parents told numerous  childhood stories of their kids , followed with laughter .

                         Other than Amar , all the young generation was giving false smiles ,all of them want to get away from that room . Amar took the courage and hold Chhayas hand ,

               She didn't mind....... , her mind was not present  .

             After sometime , Anjali called Panchi to help her in serving dinner . Chhaya stood up to leave but Amar's mom came towards her and made her sit .

             She took out a red potli bag , and took out two  pairs  of heavy gold bangles , one by one she put all the bangles on both her hands   " from today you belong to us , you are our daughter ".  Chhaya remained silent with her heads down , his mom kissed her forehead . 

      Amar was happy beyond words , he went ahd hugged his mom side ways , she kissed her son to show her affection , both the fathers clapped  to show their joy , Anu remained a dumb spectator .

         Anirudh was boiling from inside , but he cannot disrespect his friends mom ,

         All fault was his , he was busy redecorating his house according to Runi's liking .  Confessing the truth was more important , all his concern was Runi , he don't want to loose her , not again .

              Dinner was served , a variety of dish was prepared , Amar's favourite  steamed fish with mustard seeds , Anirudh's favourite mutton curry that  Runi prepared , and chicken items .

            Somehow Runi found herself sitting between Anirudh and Sumit , Amar was seated between his parents . Anjali served the guest , then she asked Anu , she just took fish , the kids took their favourite , chicken . 

           " Chhaya , why are you eating with left hand ", mom asked ,

       She can't say , Anirudh was holding her right hand , from the time they were seated he caught her hand , she struggled to remove her hand from his , but he tightened his grip more , he didn't even start his food , until she gave in .

        " mom, uhhh...I got hurt cutting onions , its hurting , thats why , " she convinced everyone .

      " Anirudh , today Chhaya made your fav mutton ," saying she put some on his plate .   
      Immediately he took a bite , it melt in his mouth , now he entangled his fingers with hers , slowly he pulled  her hand towards  his lap .........

                       Runi didn't look at his face even for once , this whole evening she avoided , but now his actions inside the table was disturbing her , she lost all her apetite . Now she looked towards him , he was so  busy , eating his favourite mutton . She was looking at him annoyed , but when he turned and looked straight into her eyes ....her anger flew away ........., he look so handsome smiling .
