Lockdown

I'm dead.

SOHIT POV

" And I was telling them," I don't understand why the fuck she had to go so slow! And put her hands over my chest. And look at me like that. It made me want to. Ugh! I give up. First off, she hides things from me and now... She's trying to seduce me?!
" About my pregnancy," what the actual fuck?! WEREN'T WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT TOGETHER?! Actually...
" What!?"
" I'm serious sohi. I really told mumma that I was pregnant and then she told papa and now everyone knows and they called your mother and i was just taking about that," Ok. I needed a minute after hearing all that. She didn't lie? Nor think of cheating?! No no. Instead, this girl told her mother who told her father and now, everyone knows that I knocked her up?! FUCK. I'm dead.
" And papa wants to talk to you. I told him that you'll call at 6... You will. Right? Because papa really hates people who make him late in something," WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT AND GIVE ME THAT INNOCENT LOOK?!
The worse part? My amma called me a moment later and fuck did she have good things to say...

" SOHIT! Pari's mother called me today. WHAT RE?! You can't tell anything to us on time, can you?! Got fired?! And now what, you're in Delhi again?!" WOMEN! Why can't they keep anything in their stomachs?!?! Do you know how much I was scolded that day?!
" No. Amma I-"
" Arre. She's pregnant! At least think about the kid before deciding to quit your job! What are you going to do now?! Leave her too?! RASCAL! IS THIS WHAT WE TAUGHT YOU?! SHE'S CRYING BACK THERE! Go back and take care of her. Right now!"
" Amma! I-" and she didn't even let me explain at all.
" No. I don't want to hear anything! First, you leave home and then I hear that you knocked up that innocent girl?!" Innocent girl????
" GO BACK RIGHT NOW!"
" WILL YOU LISTEN?! I'M NOT IN DELHI!" and that girl there was laughing! How dare she?!
" HA?!?!?!"
" I'm in Mumbai! Amma! The flights got canceled. I'm still at Pari's house! I'm right here. You can talk to her too! And I didn't make her cry!"
" Really?! I'll ask her only. Bhabhi!! Did bhai really not make you cry at all?!" What the fuck was that bhabhi word doing, coming out of my sister's mouth?! But well, it was directed towards her so, I just had to raise my head up and look at her in anger, as I told her. Don't fuck with me. I was so not in the mood to be scolded any further!
" Uh... He did-"
" SEE! She agrees! You made her cry!"
" RASCAL! YOU. YOU COME HOME THEN I'LL SHOW YOU! Got a girl knocked up. At least learn to take care of her now!!!! What are you?! A small kid?! Huh?!" Well, when appa cut in... I couldn't actually say anything against him so, I just looked away for a moment
" And when are you marrying her?! Huh!?" Before my mother cut in and now, I was just staring at my pregnant girlfriend in disbelief. Did she...? No. There was no chance
" Marriage?"
" Yes! Amma told you na. Pari's mom had called. She wants you both married. BEFORE THE BABY COMES!" My sister shouted and I just stared at her. She looked equally as shocked as me at that moment...
" I," didn't have words or even an answer. Because we were living like a married couple till that moment. If they hadn't mentioned... I wouldn't have even noticed. She was practically more like my wife than my girlfriend because she didn't have any filter around me. Since the start! I just never noticed that I'd have to marry her one day too... Didn't particularly mind it just that that had completely skipped my mind till that moment.
" No. I. No why. Shut up and register your wedding and then we can think of  way to get you married in front of people,"
" Aye, but no online marriage warriage. It's just so irritating,"
" Ha. Toh, you register to get married first na! Then we'll talk later,"
" Ok appa," I just simply agreed with him because, what else could I even do? Other than hold her hand and keep looking at her... Marriage. With her? I had never ever thought that that day would come. In fact, when I first met her, I had wished that it would never come but now that appa was saying that... I just couldn't help but slightly smile. We were just legalizing what I already knew was a marriage-like relationship... Didn't have an issue in that.
" Ha. Toh, you register and tell us the date then,"
" And talk to her parents too! Especially her father,"
" Oh. And we need to do a zoom call with her family too! Bhai! Talk about that too!"
" Ha," wasn't paying any attention to them at all. I was just, playing with her fingers as she looked at them. Didn't know what she was feeling like but, I was sure that she was definitely, a hundred percent shocked at everything that was happening.

And just to be a little romantic, or maybe not. JUST TO CONFIRM WHAT THE HELL WAS HAPPENING IN THAT CRAZY GIRL'S MIND. I asked her, without ending the call.

BIG MISTAKE.

" You'll marry me na," because the look she gave me as I held her hand... It was telling me that she was baffled that I even asked that question to her. And, before I could or anyone could say anything else, she just pulled her hand out of mine in a very very harsh way.
" No!" What the fuck?! Wasn't she the one who told her mother and got this fixed?! THAT CARTOON!
" What?!"
" I hate you!" WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO NOW?! I JUST ASKED HER TO FUCKING LEGALIZE THE WEDDDING. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER! But no. She was also in her own mood only. Because she just walked past me in anger!

" PARI?!"
" AYE! WHAT DID YOU DO NOW?!" HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT I DID?!
