Chapter 476 - We want to adopt them 2

We think it is our responsibility and we are happy to take it. It's not that we are doubting your love and affection for her or something else and we definitely are not qualified enough to do that.

Not only that we want Shriya to get a proper wedding with all rituals followed. We are not saying that we doubt your wealth and you are capable of getting everything she ever wants but what we want to say is....."

Seeing her husband unable to put words straight and the cold aura Abhi is exuding she decided to help her husband and said "We knew a few things about a proper telugu wedding as my son stayed in Tamil Nadu for a while when he got first posted during his job. Rituals are a bit similar to it."

She then hesitated but continued after taking a deep breath "We heard of the importance of parents in all the rituals and we want to do everything for her in her parents place. We want her to enter her in law's house with a proper. ..."

She then said looking at Naveen "Our son promised his friend to take care of the girls and we want to help him keep that promise.

You can decide on the date and wherever you want the ceremony tobe held we are fine with it. But we truly want tobe a part of it. It's our sincere request." They seemed tobe fixed on their decision as if they thought over it carefully.

Everyone in the hall remained silent and they didn't knew how to reasond to this sudden request from those elders.

Rahul and Yash didn't like all this and they wanted to reject the offer but seeing their elder brother all calm and thinking they shut their months.

Radha added with a smile "It's just our request. You can take your time and let us know after Naveen's marriage ceremony. But we are hoping a positive reply."

They stood up and once again invited them "Please do come to the marriage of Naveen and Brahmini. We will be happy and we will make sure that you don't experience any discomfort there."

Radha patted Preeti's head dotingly and hugged Shriya before she left. After Naveen and his parents left, Shriya sat back on the couch and was lost in thoughts.

Everyone looked lost and are the same as if they were hit by the lightening. Preeti looked at all of them and she didn't know why tears rolled down her cheeks.

Yash took her in his arms and consoled and assured her that he will not allow anyone to take her away from them.

Abhi looked calm amd he was in deep thought. Shriya looked at him and said after a moment "You have a meeting. You should go prepare for it."

Then she asked her sister to go to her room. Abhi said to her "I will be back at midnight. Don't wait for me and go to sleep". With that he left with Yash.

Rahul went to Preeti's room after he made sure Gouthami took her medicines and had her walk in the garden.

Preeti was reading a book and she didn't listen the knock on the door. He went and sat on the couch and it was then she saw him.

He asked leaning back on the couch "What's my little witch is reading ?" and she replied "Advanced Chemistry"

He stared at her and tried to read her thoughts. He was worried that she might be upset or frightened with Naveen's parents words but she looked fine and calm atleast to him.

She said with her head still immersed in the book "I am fine. Don't look at me like that". Though Rahul was stunned for a moment he was not surprised.

He knew she isn't what she shows others. She is far mature and brave than girls of her age and calm minded and he had seen that face of her before.

He asked with concern "What do you think of what happened earlier ? Aren't you worried ?"

Preeti said "Well, In fact I don't think it's a bad idea at all." Now he was surprised as he didn't expect something like this from her.

She explained "I know I shouldn't stay here for more days. Actually I wanted to go stay in a hostel once jiju and dhi gets married. It's not proper for me to stay here. But I have stayed in a hostel all my life and I don't want it anymore."

Rahul asked "If you don't like it then you don't have to. Plus what's wrong in staying here ? why is it not proper ?"

Preeti said "Of course, it's not proper because this house will be dhi's in law's house then. The thing I liked about earlier is I really do feel Naveen like Varun bhai. He is the same person from my memories.

And the way uncle and aunt spoke earlier made me think that they really want me. That feeling of needed and love is awesome. That feeling I can have mom and dad brought me to tears."

Rahul looked disappointed and asked "Then what about all the affection and care we have for you ?"

Preeti looked at him and went to hug him "Of course that's the best." He asked her with a lecturing tone "Then why are you thinking to ditch us ?"
