Chapter 513 - Baby showers 6

They all had dinner in silence. Mr and Mrs. Mishra observed the atmosphere in the family and how everyone are treating their daughter.

Rajesh, Yash, Rahul and Uday also joined during dinner and the entire dining table is filled with delicious foods and all the chairs are filled with family members.

Kater after dinner, Shriya and Abhi talked about what happened the day earlier in their room. He said "Don't take their words to heart" and Shriya said with a smile "Dumbo, you didn't understand. I am happy actually delighted because mummy ji took my side and accepted her as a part of the family in front of others".

Abhi is happy too seeimg her like that. He patted her head lovingly and said "I told you beforehand. She is my mom and I know her the best. She knows when to scold and when to take stand for her family."

That night everyone went to bed early and the next morning Shriya woke up early. Men went to exercise while women are busy with indoor work out and then basic routine.

After breakfast everyone went to their work and even Shriya has to go to college because of some paper submission. She decided to return during lunch.

While she was leaving college she felt like she saw a familiar figure in the college campus but she couldn't find him again even after searching for a minute or two.

She didn't give it much thought and didn't even want to think about him. She has much more important things to do at home.

She went home and helped Gouthami to wash up and get ready. She hired a famous make up artist who is well known for natural and harmless make up for pregnant women.

All the men at home wrapped their work early and went back home to help receive the relatives and guests. Shriya also got ready after helping Manvi in dressing Chotu.

Mrs. Malhotra got ready in a blue banarasi saree and matched it with polka jewelry. Gouthami wore a dark green silk saree which is nine yards which Marati's belive is auspicious for the occasion.

She wore all the traditional pearl jewelry and looked too beautiful that any woman can be envious of her. Shriya wore a white and yellow colored striped saree white yellow sleeves blouse.

She wore long length pearl haram with Lakshmi and elephant pendant ( Temple jewelry ). She matched the saree with pibk bangles and she looked different but trendy. The entire dress and matching was done by Gouthami.

Even Manvi chose a dark blue saree with rough cut borders. Uday matched with his wife's dress as he wore a light blue kurta and Chotu in a light blue sweater and it was all Gouthami's ideas.

Abhi and other men all dressed up in white shirts and normal casual pants. At three in the afternoon guests started coming.

Kunal, his grandmother Kokila and Pumpkin are the first to visit. Barun had to drive his grandmother and sister but he couldn't because of some unavoidable work.

Naveen drove Brahmini and his parents and it was their firat time there and they felt a little awkward and nervous about visting Malhotras'.

Sony and her mom also visited and they are the last ones to join and they are a bit okay when comapred to Kumars' because they met Kunal and also his family. And even Abhi earlier once.

Mrs. Malhotra invited a few of her close cousins whom she trusts the most. The ceremony started and Gouthami sat in the chair with the help of her nanny.

All the sweets and foods that are ordered have come and everything was set in place. A Cameraman who is a good friend of Abhi came to shoot the entire event.

Gouthami's parents came, her mother in a white chudidhar and her husband in a tailored suit. They saw their daughter and smiled. Shriya introduced everyone to her mother-in-law and she invited them with a smile.

A small stage was set up in the living room and tables were placed with chairs around them for the guests to sit and snack.

Kokila ji is the eldest one there and she explained them the importance of event. Shriya brought glass bangles in green, red and yellow.

Rahul helped her put the bangles as it is a ritual and he should be the first to put bangles on her hands.

Later everyone gave gifts, especially women and put bangles and Gouthami's both hands are full of bangles. She smiled as they all blessed her and her child.

Manvi fed the kid and everyone are very excited to play with chotu. He is a good kid and he doesn't cry much. He is comfortable with strangers too and he made them all fall for him with his cute smiles.

Abhi got a call from Vamshi and after talking to him he invited him there as he was in Mumbai at that moment.
