After a few hours, their car stops in front of a big mansion.
Dev gets down from the car, goes to the other side, opens the gate and helps Payal by extending his hand.
Payal's eyes are slightly watery at this time. But in the moonlight, those eyes are shining like a star. She is pressing her mouth with her other hand again and again. There is a slight redness on her face. Now you all know how this happened 🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣 poor girl.
The same Dev has a teasing smile on his face at this time which is not going away.🤭🤭
As soon as Payal's eyes fell on that mansion, she kept looking at it. That entire mansion is made of marble. Both old and modern arts are used on it. The whole mansion are glittering with flowers and lights.
Drop dead gorgeous 😍 - Payal say with smiling. She start staring at the mansion.
Really baby, do you like it so much - Dev asked when he heard these words from her mouth.
Yes, you know I am very fond of knowing and seeing historical things. And the carving done on this is very unique. Looks like grandfather is fond of old things - Payal say looking at the mansion in front.
Okay, you can see the whole mansion along with grandfather. Now we should leave - Dev puts his hand on Payal's waist and signals her to leave. Payal also says yes with a smile.
As soon as both of them reach the main gate, an old man is standing there holding an aarti thaali in his hands. Even at this age, there is a glow and awe on his face.
This is Digvijay Rana. He was a well-known explorer and scientist of India.
Just behind him stand a couple (40-42 years old) who are smiling and watching them.
Vijay Rana and his wife Komal. Vijay Rana has his own textile business which he runs with his son.
Just a few steps away from them stood a 35-year-old woman and a girl of Payal's age, whose faces don't show any happiness.
This is Gayatri, Vijay Rana's sister. Her husband had passed away, so she lives here. The girl with her is Sanaya, Gayatri's brother-in-law's daughter.
On seeing grandfather, Payal's hand automatically goes to her heart.
Why are we feeling so relaxed and warm on seeing Dada Ji??? I was so nervous about how I would meet Dev's family. But why am I feeling so close on seeing them???? It feels like I know them from a long time. I am an orphan and I never got the love of my own people, that's why I feel like this on seeing his family.
But I don't know why I feel like crying????
Payal who lost in her thoughts, feels warmth on her hand. She looks at her hand and Dev is holding her hand in his. Then she turns her face up and looks at Dev who blinks his eyes to signal her that don't worry, everything is fine.
In return she smiles slightly.
Idiot son, now do you intend to make our daughter stand there all night. We have been waiting for you both since so long. - Grandpa say😂😂
Grandfather, where do I have the courage to do such an audacity - Dev say and touching his feet.
Dev, you have already done the audacity. You got married without telling us - Vijay Rana, standing behind grandfather, say angrily.
Now I have brought your daughter-in-law, you should be happy - Dev said.
Fine, you both can argue later. Right now let me welcome my daughter. - Grandfather say interrupting them.
Then he looks at Payal, who was looking at everyone with moist eyes. He applies tilak to both of them and performs aarti. Payal also puts her pallu on her head, seeing this everyone smiles.
Komal( daughter in law), do the rest of the rituals and get your daughter-in-law home entry- Grandfather hands over the aarti plate to the servant standing there.
Komal ji goes ahead and tells Payal - daughter, you drop this bowl from your right foot and enter inside.
Payal performing the rituals just as Komal is saying.
