Angel In The Devil's mansion

At night Mrinal was crying hugging her mother . They will leave for Mumbai tonight as Mrinal has exams from next week . Mrinal was stunned as Abhay told him the reason but then she told herself that they are acting after all . All the members are crying . They told her to take care of herself and her new family . Her grandmother said ' Be happy Mira . We are always for you .' Mrinal nodded and smiled . Adi and Barsha made them promise to come their house once in every month . In which Abhay replied ' Just give me call I will bring your Moni here and will take you all to her .' They happily nodded .

At last Mrinal's mother gave Abhay a golden chain and said ' Abhay we know that your marriage was done already . But there are lots of ritual to do . Please take this as a blessing . I know it is not up to your status. '

He took the box and said ' I will love anything you will give to me aunty . And status has nothing to do with blessing . '

She smiled at him so did others .

Arun [ Dadubhai ] : Please come to our house . It is also your house . And please bring your parents also .

Abhay : Yes I will as I promised Adi and Barsha . And I will come for those tasty Bengali foods . I love them so much . All the ladies of this house have magic in their hands . You don't need to say please to me Dadubhai . And my parents will surely come soon .

They were about to leave when Abhay said in her ears ' I think we are forgetting to take their blessings .'

Mrinal immediately understood and they went back to her grandparents . They took blessings from elders by touching their feet in pair . They all blessed them .

Didun ' You both take care of each others and Mira baby take care of new family okk . ' She said ' Yes ' with a smile .

Her father and uncles kissed her forehead and said to Abhay ' You are married already . But we are giving you our daughter now so take care of her . She is very innocent but not weak .' Three of them said the same thing .

Sona ma ' Well Abhay your choice of life partner is best . Be happy both of you . And I know I am repeating but take care of her . '

Abhay ' Yes I will . '

Mamoni ' She is heartbeat of this house so take care of her .'

Abhay replied ' She is also my heartbeat . I will not let her to shed a single tear . And I will keep my promise .'

All smiled at him . And Unknowingly Mrinal blushed . She is confused also .

At last her mother said ' I hope your parents will accept her . Cause you know everything . I mean ..'

Abhay replied before she completed ' They will accept her as their own daughter .'

She nodded with a smile . If it is true then she is very happy . Cause her daughter was always apple of their eye . She is fond of affection , love and care . They are very simple people not a little bit of rich . But their love is their original richness . She hugged her brothers and sister - in - laws . Abhay hugged Mihir and he also hugged back . Mihir said ' Take care of her . She is the most precious person of this house .' Abhay replied ' I will always . Thanks for being so protective towards her .' When it comes to Mridul Abhay hugged him and said in his ears ' Just give me a chance . She is my love . And I am thankful that she has two brothers like you people .'

Mridul replied ' Well I am giving you a chance . But first make my sister to give you a chance cause she doesn't love you .' hugging him back . It made them all shocked . He side hugged her sister - in - laws . Both of them said the same thing ' She is our first baby . Mind it .'

He replied with a smile ' Yes always .'

Abhay knew that Mridul didn't believe their love marriage story so he said ' Yes .'

They broke the hug then Mrinal and Aarav came near Adi and Barsha . They hugged them . They also hugged back .

Barsha said sadly ' Come back soon . And keep my Moni happy . Moni keep Pisan happy .'

Abhay pulled her cheeks gently ' I will always . And We will meet soon . '

Mrinal was stunned to see their bond . She replied ' Yes I will my love .' Adi ' Moni be happy and always smile . Pisan be happy and keep smiling . Come back soon .'

Abhay ' We will be here after your Moni's exam . We will always keep smiling .'

Mrinal ' My love you two also keep smiling because I love both your smiles .' She ruffled his hair .

He side hugged her sister - in - laws . Both of them said the same thing ' She is our first baby . Mind it .' He replied with a smile ' Yes always .'to both of them . They smiled back to him and side hugged him . They said good byes to them and started their journey .

***************************************

They were inside his jet . She has no control o her tears . But she is happy that her family is happy . Mrinal was exhausted and tired . Whole day in the mall she gave updates to her brother Mridul . Her sister - in - laws also messaged her about kids . She also replied to them . Mothers always take care of their babies . So did they .

Abhay loved the bond between Mrinal's family members . He saw a joint family for first time . They love each other so much that for them they can sacrifice themselves . He realized what made Mrinal to agree for the marriage just an hour . One sentence from Mrinal's mouth is enough for them to do something or to stop doing that . He promised himself to give her all love she deserves .

Mrinal was thinking about the incident in the food court . Abhay understood and said ' Don't think about that just relax . Go and sleep . And yes there is a saree for you in the closet . Please wear it in the morning . '

She only nodded and went to sleep . Abhay also went to sleep in different room he was also tired but happy .

*****************************************

In the morning Abhay was thinking about Mrinal's family . He felt the intensity of their love in this less time . He smiled thinking how her mother treated his nose with at most care due to some mere bleeding . She was treating his nose and lips so softly so that he doesn't feel any pain. He can't believe that Mrinal feeds Adi and Bristi but doesn't eat by herself . He was also thinking to declare their secret marriage to the world otherwise the incident like yesterday may repeat . At last he got ready in his business suit as he has his work . The jet reached Mumbai but they didn't came out as it was dark outside . Now he owns the jet he can do anything .

He went himself to wake up Mrinal . But stopped at the door as it was locked . He knocked on the door but got no reply . He waited outside for 10 minutes and each 2 minutes he was knocking on the door . Now he lost all his patience and his mind is full of negative thoughts . He was about to break the door Mrinal opened the door .

And again he lost himself in her beauty . Mrinal's voice broke his trance ' Actually I was getting ready Mrinal's voice broke his trance ' Actually I was getting ready . But I gave you reply to wait . '

Abhay ' It's fine all the rooms are soundproof . I came to call you for breakfast . '

He didn't want to shout in the morning and that too on Mrinal . But this 10 minutes scared the hell out of him .

Mrinal followed him to the breakfast table .

*************************************

Mrinal got up early in the morning she didn't realize that they reached or not . She was in her own thoughts what will his parent's reaction ? and What will her life now ? Specially her studies and dreams . If she shouts 1000 times that she loves him it will never change the truth . She hates him but more than she hates her fake concern for him which she showed her family in her house . And now she has to do it in front of his parents till her death . How will she able to do so ?

Finally she got up and got ready . She was stunned to see that the saree is same which she liked in the mall yesterday . But didn't tell Abhay as she didn't want to take anything from him .

She said to herself ' May be he knows black magic also . '

At last keeping aside her thoughts she wore her saree . She also found those jewelleries she just wore them without any further thoughts .

The breakfast was totally silent . She was thinking to ask him about her college but didn't ask anything .

They reached the Singh Raizada mansion after sometimes . Again there was complete silence in the whole journey .

Abhay opened the door of the car for Mrinal . She came out . Now she is hell nervous . Abhay understood and took her hand in his hand . She was so tensed that she didn't deny him . Seeing them guards said ' good morning . ' to both of them . As usual he replied ' good morning uncle .' to all of them . Mrinal was nervous and it was totally new for her . So she couldn't wish them back . They reached at the door of his mansion and he called for his Choti ma like always . Mrinal was shocked that he called for his Choti ma not his own mother . But she didn't ask anything . Still Abhay is holding her hand in his hand .

His Choti ma came from inside ' What happened Abhi ? Is your work done ? You didn't ...'

Her words stopped at the middle as she saw Mrinal like a new bride and Abhay holding her hand in his hand . She was shocked but not so shocked . Cause in the morning they got the news of their marriage through TV due to the mall incident . A newspaper reporter shoot their photos , videos and the reply to those women in the Quest mall . And now it is today's newspaper and TV channel's headline .

Before Abhi could reply she called his husband and he immediately came down .

His Chote papa came and said ' Well I hope your important work is done . ' in a taunting way . His Choti ma said ' We will talk about this later . Don't be shocked Abhi we already came to know about your important work from TV channels and newspaper . '

Abhay ' Choti ma but we ..' .

Chote papa ' Yes we know you people love each other . Well that's what you told to your in - laws. '

After knowing all these they contacted Mrinal's family early in the morning . They also knew about it . They had a polite talk between them and assured them about their daughter's happiness .

Everything is opposite here . They are giving shock to Abhay and Mrinal where they should be shocked .

Mrinal clutched his hands . He put his hands around her shoulder to assure that he is with her . Abhay ' Chote papa its ..'

Choti ma ' Leave it . She has her classes and exams . So let me do her Arti and welcome her . After all she is the Laxmi of this house . '

She called for a servant who brought the Arti . Then she did her Arti for them . She put tika on Abhay's forehead and filled Mrinal's hair partition with red vermillion . She lovingly patted her cheeks hiding her smile . Then she put kalash filled with rice in the middle of the doorstep . And she said ' Mr. Abhay Singh Raizada help your wife in Grihapravesh . '

Abhay replied with a toothy smile ' Yes Ma'am .'

Then he bend down and lifted her right leg and guided her to perform Grihapravesh as it was their tradition . Then Choti ma put a plate full of red colour (Aalta) . Mrinal put her legs on the plate and then put her right leg inside the house . She did what she was told . She doesn't make them suspicious as her family is important . After that Choti ma took her directly towards Mandir (Temple) . Abhay didn't follow them as he doesn't believe in god .

After coming out of Mandir she took her in the hall room near a picture . A garland of white flowers was there on the picture . Then she called ' Abhi come here .'

Abhay came as he was also in the hall room buttering up his Chote papa and she said ' Mrinal they are Abhay's parents . They left us 20 years back . Take their blessings . And Abhi you also .'

Mrinal now understood that he lost his parents and they are his uncle and aunty . She felt a sharp pain knowing that Abhay lost his parents at a small age . A lone tear escaped from her eyes which was noticed by all three of them . And all understood the reason .

Then she bent and took Choti ma's blessing . Abhay also took her blessing . She took Mrinal in a warm hug and said ' You are our daughter and the queen of this Singh Raizada empire . Always be happy . '

She was happy after hearing her words as they accepted her .

Then both of them took the blessing of his Chote papa . He put his hand on Mrinal's head and gave blessing ' Always stay happy . And from now I am also your Chote papa . ' and told Abhay ' We had some important works so no office today . '

Abhay only nodded knowing the inner meaning .
