Mother in law 1

Shriya and Abhi entered the house along with Preeti. Mrs. Malhotra and other family members are busy talking while having breakfast and they saw the couple coming inside.

All family members are frightened by the sudden visit except for Santhoshi, she is shocked but she could see their gazes adn worry evident on their faces.

Abhi hugged his mother and greeted her good morning. Santhoshi kissed her son's forehead with love and affection.

She asked him to join them for breakfast and he looked at Shriya and nodded his head. She greeted Mrs. Malhotra "Hello Aunty, I am Shriya Sheren and" showing Preeti she said "This is my sister Preeti Sheren".

Gouthami smiled at her and greeted them. Yash took Preeti into his arms and made her sit beside him. He served her food himself which is a very rare sight for Santhshi as she never saw her son being kind to strangers.

Santhoshi was surprised but didn't show it on her face. Abhi pulled a chair for Shriya and they all had breakfast. Santhoshi observed that all the servants knew these girls and they are familiar with the little girl's food habits.

Manvi kept Santhoshi busy and Gouthami didn't leave Shriya alone even for a second. Rahul stayed at home for Preeti. Yash and Rajesh went to office with Uday. Abhi stayed back to keep them company.

Abhi stayed with his mother for a while and went to his study to do some work. Santhoshi sat and watched each and every moment of Shriya, the way she speaks, her dressing and everything about her.

She called Preeti and asked her to sit beside her. Shriya looked at them and Gouthami smiled to give her assurance.

Elder Rajput came to the farm house and looked around. The house and the atmosphere everything gave him peace and a feeling of dejavu. It looked the same just like his home twenty yaers ago.

It reminded him of his youthful days and his early married life. Though he and Kokila didn't get married for love, still Kokila did everything she could do to provide him with everything he ever needed.

She supported him like a pillar giving him moral support. She was from a large and reputed family with so many connections. He gained so much from her family but he never gave credit to her. He took her and her feelings and everything she did for granted.

She trusted him and stayed loyal to him but he didn't keep that trust. He had many extra marital affairs and sometimes was even caught by his wife red handed. But she didn't make a fuss about it afrid that family name might be tainted.

Slowly she gave up on him but he didn't change. They had a son and he is everything to her, her only happiness and hope. He never bothered to look after her or their son, business is everything to him.

Her one and only son always longed for father's love but he couldn't get any. She stood by him and didn everythung in her capacity, gave her love but that emptiness was there in his heart.

But he was happy when he was in love. Thise days were his beautiful days and he wanted to marry his love.

She supported her son but her husband didn't. He didn't accept his son's choice. He arranged his marriage with another family in their social circle.

She couldn't stop him and saw her son suffering right infront of her eyes. She stood silent when her family was messing up. But when she saw her grandsons suffering she couldn't take it anymore.

She stood up for them and it lead to more differences between them and they stopped talking to each other.

He felt empty inside but couldn't show it out because of his ego. When he tried to abandon Pumpkin she couldn't take it and talked back to him.

They had a big argument and that very day she moved out of the house with Pumpkin leaving everything behind. He wanted to stop her from leaving him but couldn't.

He thought she will be back on her own but she didn't. He felt the emptiness and the house lost it's warmth and love.

Eventually his grandsons also moved to Mumbai using studies as an excuse. He knew they wanted to stay away from him especially Kunal.

He is aware of Kunal's hatred for him but his age stopped him to acknowledge it. Barun was there for him and for him he is the only warmth and relation who loves him truly.

He always liked the guts of her grandsons. He wanted his son to stand up for himself and fight for his own interests and things. But he didn't, either it might be out of respect or fear for him, but he didn't. He couldn't trust him with that entire business to his son.

Barun was obedient but has his own skills and talent and he can be a good choice tobe his heir. So he decided to search for a perfect woman who can help him develop the business.
