Anything For You
Everyone felt Daksh’s changed behavior towards Jai, who was waiting for Daksh to greet him, but Daksh continued eating his breakfast silently.
“Daksh, did I do something wrong that I am being ignored by you like this?” Jai asked patiently.
Daksh laughed. “At least you know you have done something wrong.” He looked at Jai with his piercing gaze. “I know everything you did, Dadu (Grandfather).”
Jai, Aakash, and Sakshi weren’t able to understand what he was talking about, but Lavanya and Eden clearly understood that Daksh had heard their conversation about Jai sending her to London because he was in front of their room last night.
Lavanya looked at Daksh, who had his gaze fixed on Jai. She looked at Eden with a worried expression. Jai furrowed his eyebrows. “What did I do?”
Daksh stood up from his chair. “I know everything you did with Lavanya.”
Lavanya was now sure that he had really heard everything. She stood up as well to stop him, but Daksh didn’t listen to her. “Why? Why did you use her for my career?”
Aakash slowly stood up from his chair. “What?”
“Yes, Dad. He used Lavanya for me.” A tear rolled down Daksh’s cheek.
Aakash wasn’t ready to believe him. “No, he can’t do this with Lavanya.”
“He did it dad, and that was the reason she wasn’t ready to tell us about the real reason behind her decision to stay in London.” Daksh yelled in anger. “On my engagement day, Shreya told me the name of Lavanya’s husband, and I found it very familiar. I just couldn’t remember where I had heard this name and forgot about it, but last night, I heard Lavanya talking with Eden about how he used her. Then I remembered that I had signed the deal with the manager of Richards Corporation, who was here on behalf of the owner, Eden Richards. He sent Lavanya to him, so that I can get that deal.”
Daksh looked at Jai. “Why did you do this to her? She also had her dreams and career.”
Lavanya was crying, looking down. Sakshi and Aakash were in shock, knowing what had happened with Lavanya. Jai tried to hold Daksh’s hand. “Please forgive me, Daksh. I did everything for you.”
Aakash banged his fist on the table. “I can’t believe this, dad.”
“Please forgive me, Son.”
Daksh shook his head. “No, I can’t tolerate that you used her for my career.”
Jai stood up in anger. “I wasn’t alone in this. Eden was also involved.”
Daksh tried to calm himself. “He was involved. I agree with you, but you shouldn’t have agreed with his condition. He put forth this condition because he loves Lavanya, but you never loved her, that’s why you easily agreed with his condition.”
He placed his hand on Eden’s shoulder. “You know what, I found him much better for our Lavanya because even if he kept her away from us, he gave her everything and did everything to make her happy, but you gave her the pain of living away from us.”
Lavanya wiped her tears. “Bhai, please stop this all.”
Daksh held her hand. “My heart was telling me you didn’t take this decision willingly. It’s not that I am against your marriage. Eden is a really nice guy. Even we couldn’t have found such a life partner for you, but you had your dreams which you sacrificed.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Lavanya smiled, looked at Eden, and then back at Daksh. “You just said that he is a really nice guy. Do you think he could have let me sacrifice my dreams? No, he helped me in continuing my studies, and made me join his company with him. He fulfilled my dreams.”
She wiped Daksh’s tears. “I know you love me a lot. I want something from you. Will you give it to me?”
Daksh caressed her cheek. “Anything for you.”
She held his both hands. “You know why I wasn’t ready to tell you the real reason. It was because I know you will be very angry with Dadu and will stop talking to him. I was always going to hide it, but you came to know about it. Bhai, you know I like to keep everyone happy. Please forgive him for me.”
Daksh was going to remove his hands from hers, but she didn’t let him. “I can’t do this, Lavanya.”
“Please.” She requested, and Daksh had to agree with her request. He turned to Jai. “I forgive you.”
Jai knew that he was only doing this for Lavanya but still felt relieved. He hugged Daksh and apologized to everyone, including Lavanya.
Lavanya wrapped her hand around Daksh’s arm and said to lighten up everyone’s mood. “Now everyone, Chill and Enjoy. Mere bhai ki shaadi aane waali hai, par ruko, shaadi hai kabki (My brother’s wedding is coming, but wait, when is the wedding?)”
“It’s on twenty-two of the july.” Daksh replied.
“What?” Lavanya touched her forehead. “Only two months left, and so many things are left for me to do. Selecting clothes and matching Jewellery, and accessories with them, hairstyles and a lot more.”
Everyone laughed at her. She glared at everyone, and they all stopped laughing. “It’s my brother’s wedding. I want to look perfect. Does anyone have any problem with it?”
“No, my princess should look gorgeous at her brother’s wedding.” Aakash said as they again sat on the chairs to finish breakfast.
Sakshi smiled at Lavanya. “Don’t worry, Lavanya. We will go shopping together.”
“Yes, Mom. We will also take Eden and Daksh Bhai with us.” Lavanya squeeled in happiness.
Aakash laughed. “Don’t take them with you together. You can take Eden, first and then Daksh.”
Lavanya raised her eyebrows. “Why?”
Aakash looked at Daksh, who was looking back at him in confusion, and said, “It’s because you will give all your attention to your husband, and your brother will feel jealous of him.”
Lavanya chuckled. “What? Daksh Bhai was feeling jealous of Eden. When?”
Aakash drank water, and started telling, “Last night, he wanted to spend time with you, but I stopped him and asked him to give you some time with Eden. So, he said he doesn’t care because she was with him for two years.”
Everyone laughed, and Lavanya looked at both Daksh and Eden. “They both are like each other. They both get jealous of each other.”
Aakash raised his eyebrows. “When did Eden get jealous of Daksh?”
“When we were in London, Every time I remembered Bhai and showed my love and care for him, Eden would feel jealous.” Lavanya winked at Eden.
Sakshi, and Aakash were feeling happy for Lavanya. Sakshi looked at Eden as she thought about something.
“Eden, I want to talk to your parents. We would like to invite them for Daksh’s Wedding.” She said, and noticed Eden’s and Lavanya’s smiled disappearing.
