Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 37

*Time skip by 3 days*

Miheeka's Pov:

I close my laptop and push it off my lap when I hear the doorbell ring from downstairs. I walk a little faster when I hear the bell ringing over and over again, the person at the door getting impatient.

I twist the doorknob, and step back from the door when I open it. My jaw drops and I look at the people standing in front of me.

"Mumma, Nanna," I whisper when I see them come out from behind Anna. I move aside from the door, and move my hand to let them in. I take them into the living room and have them sit down. I do not know how to react to them sitting here in front of me. I awkwardly sit down across from them. Mumma clears his throat and moves up to the edge of the couch as she turns to look at me.

"Miheeka, please amma, come home," She pleads, her voice breaking. I look down at my fingers, knowing I won't be able to hold it together if I look up at her.

"We cancelled the engagement," and that's all I needed to hear from her. I got up from my seat and ran into her arms. I break down sobbing her arms and I feel her stroke my hair. I look up slightly at my dad who hasn't said anything. He has a stern look on his face, and I know that he knows Rama is the guy who I'm seeing and whose house I'm living in. I plead him with my eyes, my sobs quieting down slowly. His silent nod is enough for me to calm down, knowing that he isn't mad anymore. I get up from beside Mumma, and pull Anna into a hug.

"Thank you," I mumble into his shoulder. I pull away after a second.

"So, when can we meet Rana?" Nana asks with a slight smile on his face. He puts his arms out for me, and I run into his arms and hug him.

Rana's Pov:

"That's great, ya," I nod into the phone as Miheeka tells me about what happened with her parents. I grab my laptop bag from the car and then close the door behind me.

"Ya, I'll call you later, let me know what day they want to do," I disconnected the call after saying bye.

"Was that Miheeka," Ma asks as I walk into the kitchen?

"Ya, we are trying to figure out a day where I can go out to dinner with her family, they want to formally meet me," I explain to her and she nods her head.

"That's good. When did she go back home?"

I told her that she left around 9. Ma nods her head. Just then Prabhas starts trudging downstairs.

"Guys, I made aloo paratha. It is in the microwave right now you can eat it," Ma says while turning on the tv. Prabhas goes and gets the yogurt from the fridge. We both sit down on the table and start digging in.

"Wow. Ma this is great," Prabhas says and I agree with him. We stuff our mouths with the parathas and thank Ma before going upstairs.

"Meeting the parents huh," Prabhas teases me as he walks into my room, standing by the doorway.

"Shut up, it's not even a big deal, we've met before," I threw my pillow at him. He dodges it.

"Uh huh sure," he says.

I roll my eyes and push him out of the room.

"Don't you have to call Anushka or something?" I say and he immediately looks down and blushes. I roll my eyes at him and he walks away from my room door.

Prabhas's Pov:

Anushka texts me that she will come over after her shift is over, so I open my laptop to get some extra work done.
