My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby!

Chapter 67: 67. The Reception

D's PoV

We are now in Trichy. My dad called my uncle last week, the day after I came home from Achu's home. He wanted to give a reception for our wedding in Trichy. All his friends and their family wanted to see us. Uncle said ok and we all agreed to this day.

We were so unlucky that the very next day we resolved our differences, I had my menstrual cycle. It would be like 5days for me. The next day it was over, we started here. My poor hubby is all gloomy. He would always come to me and say,

"Kolra de!"(You are killing me!)

We did nothing more than cuddling. I'm eager too. After coming to Trichy, my evil sisters asked me to sleep with them as they missed me so much. I bragged about my talents in sweeping my hubby off his feet to my mom and sisters. I deserve an award. I did it in 2months when I asked for 3months.

We are now getting ready for our reception. The hotel is near our home. My sisters booked their own beautician. They are glamming up. My phone pings continuously letting me know that my hubby is impatiently waiting.

All my friends have come. My home looks like a girl’s hostel. All my friends who are boys went straight to the hotel. Atlast, we all were ready and set out of our house. My dad, Rishi, Aakash anna, Perippa, Uncle, Ravi and all other guys were already at the hotel. Karthik has come with his dad and mom. I already suspected my sis. Dakshu has a cheesy smile and a tense face!

Shanu is with a full blown smile. Ravi is just winning my dad. He stuck to my dad like glue, helping him in all arrangements for the past 3days we are here. My mom is not so sharp in finding clues. But my dad is. I'm afraid for them. If they get caught now, then everything will become a tedious task. I hope

Ravi just stays subtle and doesn't overdo things. The reception went well. We were really tired. After everyone went, only family were there in the hall.

"Guna, I'm so happy. Shall I ask you something?" Uncle asked dad.

"Tell me, Raja, I'm happy too. Everything went well."

"Will you give your second daughter to my second son? I will rest. I don’t know where else I will get a good daughter in law just like my first daughter in law!"

OMG, The looks on the faces of Ravi, Dakshu, Karthik and Shanu are priceless. I struggled to stop laughing out loud. Rishi looked at me weirdly.

"Shhh, Stop it, baby. They are talking seriously. What is there to laugh about?" Rishi whisper yelled to me.

"Ravi is in love. Dakshu is also in love." I said

"Oops, Then we should stop this. Why are you laughing?" He asked me.

"Hehe! Have you seen the faces of Karthik and Shanu?"

"No, why? Wait what?" He got it!

"Hehe yes. The pairs are swapped."

"God, What happens now?"

"My dad doesn't do love marriages!" I told him.

"Idiot, Why would your dad do marriage? I will talk to him!"

"I meant my dad won't approve of love marriage. And yes, You can talk, Maapillai!" I winked at him.

Dakshu’s PoV

What the hell? I eyed Karthik to talk. This cannot happen. That Ravi is like a tail to Shanu. God, why are all the elders are blind? Can't he see his son's face!? Karthik looked at me with a wide eye and nudged his dad. But before his dad could talk, Rishi mama spoke.

"Uncle, can I talk to you in private for a moment?"

What now, God!?

Danya and Rishi went in with mom and dad. They all came out after a while. Danya and Rishi with little smiles, dad with no smile and mom's smile is doubtful.

"Sorry da! Looks like my second daughter has a possible groom in this same hall." My dad said. I closed my mouth tight fearing if I open it, my heart may jump out. I buried my head down. I dared not to lift it up.

"Mr. Gunasekaran, Don’t get angry. We need to talk." Karthik's father said.

"I'm your caste too. My son here, he is not into politics like me. You can gather details of him on your own. I like your daughter. We will be happy if you give your daughter's hand in marriage to my son."

"It's not about caste and your son's good conduct. I can say that just by seeing the face. It's about his first marriage. I don’t want my daughter to be second." Dad said. I felt like crying.

"Can I talk uncle?" Karthik asked.

My dad turned his head towards him. He smiled at him. Ok, that's a good sign. I clutched Shanu’s hands.

"Uncle, my first marriage is a failure. But that doesn’t have anything to do with me. My first wife was not interested in married life. She was forced into the wedding. She stated that to me and I granted her wish. We had nothing between us for the time we stayed under the same roof. I love your daughter, uncle. I promise I will keep her as happy as you think. I respect your decision uncle. I can wait for her studies to get complete" Karthik spoke without a little hitch. So confident!

My dad just patted his shoulders.

"I like your boldness. I like the way you said about the girl who gave you tough times. If you cannot bad mouth someone who spoiled your life, then you have a heart of gold. I'm happy for my daughter, Karthik!" What did I hear? What? WHAT? He said ok for this wedding? I ran to my dad and hugged him.

"Thanks dad. Sorry!"

I held Danya's hand. I know it's her who compromised dad for this. I thanked Rishi too.

"It's ok, da. But you still have 2yrs of studies. Remember that." dad said.

"Sure dad!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Karthik said.

"What about my second son?" Shekar uncle asked.

"I have another daughter. Shanu is for Ravi." My dad said.

God, Shanu got what she wanted without dad knowing that it’s a love marriage too?

Cha, it's only me who got caught!

Ravi's PoV

I never knew dad would talk like this, this soon. He always does things unexpectedly. He asked for Daksha? God, Great escape. She had a love story. Now what? My dad started again. What will Guna uncle say now?

I was looking at his face. But he just looked at my dad and said what I wanted to hear. Am I dreaming? Am I floating? Nope. Everything was real.

I looked at Anvi. She stands there with a shy smile. Awww I love it! So, it was a happy start for my love! Lawyer uncle gave me a pat on my shoulder.

"I saw you flirting with her on the day of your bro's wedding. I know you will be happy." he said.

"hehe uncle, Don’t spoil it for me. I will give you a special treat." I whispered to him.

He laughed. I mouthed a thank you to my bro and anni! I know it's them behind my uncle’s approval!

Rishi's PoV

We never revealed that it is love for Dakshu and Shanu. Uncle listened to me and Danya with full concern. Everything went well, Except for one. Dhiwakar! I truly don't know what to do. Krishnan uncle is here with us. That bast**d is not. I should tell him what exactly happened. Everyone is busy with talking and winding up things in the hall. I called Danya.

"Shall we talk about Dhiwakar to uncle now?" I asked her.

"Do we have to? Can’t we just let go, Rishi?"

"We talked about it already, baby! I want every one of them to pay for what they did to us."

"Mmm... alright then, call him to that room. I will go there first."

After she went into the room, I called Krishnan uncle.

"Uncle, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"What's up Rishi?"

"Please come in uncle. I want to talk to you in private!"

"Ok!"

Once we were in the room, I locked it. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Danya, You are here too?" uncle asked.

"Uncle, I have to talk to you about Dhiwakar." I said.

"I know, Rishi. I know everything he did to you. When he said he got a call from Smirthi, I thought nothing. But when I saw him with Smirthi 2weeks back, I knew something was wrong. I set up a shadow for him and got to know everything. I confronted him last week about all that. He confessed everything. He was jealous of you from childhood. Knowingly or unknowingly, I was a reason too for his behavior. But that doesn’t justify anything he did. I disowned my son Rishi. I sent him away with his part of the property. You will be my son henceforth. I won’t interfere in anything you do with him." He said.

He slumped on the bed. I cannot look at him like this. So Dhiwakar did all this because he was jealous? He is mad. I think he got his punishment.

"Uncle, please don't feel bad. You have to reconsider your decision uncle. You will regret it later. By doing this, you are aggravating his hate for us. We can talk to him uncle." Danya said.

"Uncle, whatever he does henceforth, will be in vain. When he knows he is exposed, he will stop trying. Now everyone knows what he did. I think that is more than a punishment to him. That humiliation will

last his lifetime. We cannot mend our relationship with him, uncle. But you cannot disown him. Be a good father to him, uncle. When he knows we are out of his life, he will be fine. I have a death wish for him. But he is your son and I think of you as family. Hurting him will hurt you. I have decided to let go of him for you." I told him.

"That's the good brought-up talking. You are both so good. But my decision is final. I will see to it that he won't disturb you guys again. He went to Chennai last week itself. I made him sign enough empty bond sheets. If I found him with misdeeds again, I will use it against him. I sent him away with a warning. I won't mind if you want him to be in jail just like Smirthi, Rohit and Savithri." He said.

"That's not necessary uncle. I hope he learnt his lesson."

"Sorry to say this uncle, He holds no place in our lives. We don’t want revenge. Smirthi is in jail because she messed up with Karthik's company. Rohit should be behind bars for his cheap mind. He cannot go free after what he did to me. Savithri has betrayed us. Though Dhiwakar was behind all this, he is not involved straight. We don’t want to let go of a nice man from our lives. That's you, uncle! We will hold no grudge against your son. It's your wish to decide on anything with your son. We need you!" Danya said.

Uncle shed tears and hugged both of us. I know he is heavy in the heart right now. He went out of the room. Danya went with him.

Knowingly or unknowingly, I fueled his jealousy. We both don’t like each other. I just let it rest, but he had grown it. He needs medical help to get out of it. But then, like Danya said, he is no one to us. I think I should let go just like Danya said. Once I decided to let go, I felt like a feather in my heart. My heart is just filled with my little wife!
