Chapter 474 - Cute brother in law 3

He said with a nod "What happened next ? Of course, Dad burst out laughing but helped him pull up the zip. He tried to calm the little kid down with sweet words. Claire was really embarrased but Jason was shocked to his wits.

Dad just patted the kid's head lovingly and said 'It's not struck.' Rick made a bewildered expression and made a long ohhh with his mouth 'Ohhhhh,...Really. I thought it did. Anyway thanks papa'. With that he kissed dad's cheek and said 'Thanks papa. You are the best' and hugged him tight. He is so cute that day."

Shriya also smiled when she heard what Rick did. Abhi continued 'Papa let's go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park this Sunday' and dad said 'Okay, Your brothers will take you there.'

Jason was dumbfounded and he asked with shock 'Is Rick your son ?' and Before Dad could answer, Rick said 'He is my papa. Who are you ?'

Claire was so angry that she scolded him for behaving like that with elders. Rick never did that before. He is a well-mannered kid but the reason why he did that is because he heard the discussion between Dad and Jason from the washroom earlier.

He just want to show off his love for his father to Jason. He never calls dad papa infront of others especially in office.

He got a good beating for that though and dad and me have to stop her as we couldn't see him cry. Jason of course left the place as soon as he saw dad confirm it.

Claire thought Jason would never call her again but it happened otherwise. Of course dad had to step in for that. He lied to mom about going on a business trip but went to meet Jason.

He met him personally and told everything to Jason and cleared off all the things to him. After a month or something Jason straight went to Claire's house and proposed to her.

He didn't want her to think he is sympathizing with her so he told her that he fell for her lovely nature and strong personality."

Shriya was so happy but she had her doubts. Abhi looked at her and asked "Now what ?" and she told "When did Rick understand all this ?"

Abhi said "Well it took time. They got married after five years of dating. Jason want to get married only after Rick accepted him heartfully.

He tried everything he could to please Rick gain his trust, love and affection. After Rick understood his love for his mom he fave them a positive signal. Of course it happened only after he realised that his wish won't come true, but he accepted Jason with whole heart."

Shriya felt happy after hearing this. Abhi said "They had a grand wedding then and almost all the afmily members attended. Rick is the best man. His speech lead to tears from the audience.

Dad, Jason and Claire are all tears and it was then we understood the pain he went through all those years. He spoke about everyone and we felt happy that he is a part of that wonderful family."

Shriya is happy and said "No, he is also a part of our family." Abhi said "Yes, he definitely is, on papers too. Jason owns a two percent shares in all our firms and the nominee for those shares is Rick.

In the same way dad owns ten percent of shares and grandpa owns four percent in JJ Architectal firm and when Rick turns eighteen he will be the owner of those shares. It's our responsibility and we should do that much for our kid."

Shriya nodded but said "Everything is fine but it took some time." Abhi agreed saying "Some love stories will be complicated and it takes time. Patience is the key here".

Shriya said with her brain still wondering somewhere "Just like your friend Garima and that iceberg". He looked at her with surprise as he didn't expect it from her and asked "What did you just say ?"

She shook her head after she realised her mistake. Abhi asked again "You knew about that ?" what do you know ? and Since when ?"

Shriya looked at him and said "Since last two weeks. I just had a hunch about them but I think I am right seeing your expression".

Abhi said "Just forget about it and concentrate on your studies." With that he dragged her to bed for sleep.

After two exams it was already the day of Naveen and Brahmini's engagement. His parents came to Mumbai and did some necasaary shopping the day before.

The girls went to Brahmini's house that day early in the morning. It is a simple ceremony between two families and a few close relatives.

Shriya and Sony kept their looks simple with long desses and simple jewelry while Brahmini dr.a.p.ed a beautiful pastel pink Kanjeevaram Silk saree and wore traditional south Indian jewellery.

She looked like a true South Indian bride and her look completed with her hair braided nicely and decorated with rose flowers.

Naveen wore a light pink kurta with white pants. He looked simple but handsome.

Abhi and Kunal couldn't go to the ceremony as they don't want to grab attention or ruin the moment for them. Moreover they are both busy with their respective works.

Even Garima has to send her greetings with her manager as she visited her parents at her hometown. Barun asked his personal guard to accompany the women.

Manvi and Pumpkin also attended the ceremony. It was rather simple with pooja followed by exchange of rings.
