The Real Reason
After having breakfast, Lavanya sat on the bed comfortably in her room. She was thinking about Daksh’s engagement. Eden noticed that she was lost in her thoughts, so he called her. “Lavanya.”
She looked at him. “Hmm.”
He sat next to her. “You seem lost. What are you thinking?”
“I am thinking about my brother’s engagement.” She replied while playing with her wedding ring.
He furrowed his eyebrows. “What about his engagement?”
She smiled. “I had promised him that I would find a beautiful bride for him, and he agreed, but now, he got engaged without me. I didn’t even get to attend his engagement. Finding a bride for him is far away.”
He kissed her hand. “When you weren’t ready to join the office with me, I told you one thing that day that life always goes on.”
“With or without people.” She completed his sentence. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “You can’t bring back the time which is gone, but you can happily live the time you’ve got with your family. Look forward to your future.”
She nodded and placed her head on his chest, closing her eyes.
In the evening before the party, Lavanya entered inside Daksh’s room. “Bhaiya, Wear this shirt tonight at my birthday party. I got this for you from London.”
Daksh smiled, taking the shirt from her. “Thank you so much. I will wear it tonight.”
Daksh got ready, and went to Lavanya’s room only to find her fixing Eden’s tie. “Oh My Lovebirds, You have a whole life for romance. For now, come downstairs with me. Everyone is waiting for you.”
Lavanya blushed, looking at Eden. He forwarded his hand in her direction, but she didn’t take it. Instead, she went to Daksh and held his arm. “You can go downstairs first. I will come with Bhai (Brother).
“Your wish is my command.” Eden left the room, kissing her cheek.
Daksh held her hand softly. “Let’s go, princess.”
All the guests were happy to see the brother-sister duo together after two years. Eden smiled, looking at them because he could feel Lavanya’s happiness.
Aakash moved forward and kissed her forehead. “May god bless you with all the happiness of this world.”
She thanked him and turned to Daksh. “Where is my Bhabhi (Brother’s Wife and Sister-in-law)?”
Daksh took her and Eden with him. Niharika was sitting with Sakshi and Aarti, talking about random things.
“Niharika.” Daksh called her, and she looked at him. “Look, Who is here to meet you?”
Niharika stood up from the chair to go near him. Daksh held Lavanya’s shoulders. “Niharika, She is my beautiful sister, Lavanya and Lavanya, She is your Bhabhi, Niharika.”
“Happy Birthday, Lavanya.” Niharika wished her.
“Thank you.”
Niharika didn’t know what to say to her next. She was figuring it out when Lavanya hugged her. She was surprised by Lavanya’s sudden hug as she didn’t expected this from Lavanya.
Daksh smiled at Niharika. Lavanya broke the hug and said, “I am very happy to meet you. Welcome to our family.”
Niharika smiled. “Thank you so much.”
Later, Daksh introduced her to Eden. They all were happily talking with each other when someone covered Lavanya’s eyes from behind. She touched that person’s hand to recognize that person and asked, “Can anyone tell me who it is?”
Eden chuckled. “It’s the same person who covered your eyes in Paris.” He revealed, and Lavanya understood that it was Shreya. She turned around, removing her hands from her eyes.
Shreya looked at Eden. “It wasn’t fair, Eden. Why couldn’t you let her guess?”
Eden gave her an apologetic smile. She hugged Lavanya. “Happy Birthday, Bestfriend.”
“Thank you.” Lavanya greeted Abhir.
Lavanya cut her birthday cake, and Eden felt happy as he witnessed Lavanya being showered with lots of hugs, kisses, love, and blessings by her family.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Lavanya was lying in his arms after changing her clothes. “I love family gatherings, but it also makes me feel tired.”
Eden was caressing her hair. “Your family really loves you so much.”
Daksh was coming to her room to talk about something with her. He was about to knock on the door but stopped when he heard Eden. “I feel guilty for keeping you away from your family. It was my selfishness I kept you away from them.”
Lavanya looked at him. “I already told you that loving someone is not selfishness, and don’t forget, It wasn’t only you. It was also my grandfather.”
Daksh widened his eyes in shock hearing this as Lavanya continued, “I feel angry at him because he used me for my brother’s career, and I had to stay away from my family’s love, but you fulfilled their part of love.”
Eden kissed her forehead, whereas Daksh was gritting his teeth in anger, standing outside her room. “I was right. You’re behind this all, Dadu (Grandfather). That’s why she didn’t want anyone to know the real reason behind her decision to stay in London and not come back to India.”
He was thinking all of this when someone tapped on his shoulder. He turned to look and found Aakash standing in front of him. “Dad.”
“What are you doing in front of her room at this hour?” Aakash crossed his arms across his chest.
“Nothing, I just wanted to talk to her about something.”
Aakash patted him on his back. “She is married, now. Give her privacy with her husband.”
Daksh shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t care. She was with him for two years.”
Aakash laughed. “Don’t be jealous of your brother-in-law.”
Aakash was about to take Daksh from there when Eden opened the door. “Dad, Brother, What are you both doing here?”
Aakash smiled at him. “We both were going to get some water from the kitchen. Sorry, we disturbed your sleep.”
“It’s perfectly alright. I heard the commotion outside, so I opened the door to check.” Eden said. Aakash quickly took Daksh from there, who was still thinking about what he had just heard.
Eden closed the door. He came back near Lavanya and laid down, facing her. She smiled, moving closer to him. She caressed his cheek and kissed him. “Thank you so much for giving me all the happiness of this world.” They slept, hugging each other tightly.
The next day in the morning, they all were having breakfast together happily until Jai entered the room. He greeted everyone and especially Daksh, before sitting on his chair, but Daksh didn’t even look at him.
