The day after the candid interview, Pranali found herself sitting across from her mother in their cozy living room. The memory of the interview was still fresh in her mind, the warm glow of her connection with Harshad lingering in her heart.
"Pranali," her mother began, her tone serious, "I watched the interview yesterday."
Pranali looked at her mother, her curiosity piqued. "And what did you think?"
Her mother's expression was a mix of concern and sternness. "I noticed something in the way you and Harshad spoke about each other. There's a spark, a connection that's deeper than friendship."
Pranali's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening slightly. She hadn't anticipated her mother's keen observation. She took a deep breath, choosing her words carefully. "Mom, there is something I need to tell you."
Her mother's gaze sharpened, her brows furrowing. "Pranali, please tell me you're not involved in anything that could jeopardize your career or reputation."
Pranali reached out and took her mother's hand, her touch gentle yet firm. "Mom, please listen. Harshad and I... we're more than just friends. We're in a relationship."
Her mother's reaction was immediate and intense. She withdrew her hand from Pranali's grasp, her eyes wide with shock. "Pranali, are you out of your mind? You know the challenges, the complexities that come with being in a relationship in this industry."
Tears welled up in Pranali's eyes, her heart heavy with a mix of emotions. "I understand, Mom. But this is real, and it's important to both of us. Harshad and I have faced the challenges head-on, and we're committed to making it work."
Her mother's expression remained stern, her voice edged with frustration. "Do you have any idea how the media and society will react? Your careers, your reputation-it's all at stake."
Pranali's voice wavered, but her resolve remained unshaken. "I know it won't be easy, but we're prepared to face whatever comes our way. Harshad and I believe in our love and our connection."
Her mother shook her head in disbelief. "Pranali, you're letting your emotions cloud your judgment. You're young, and you don't understand the consequences."
Pranali's tears began to fall, her voice quivering. "I understand more than you think, Mom. I've thought about this deeply, and I wouldn't be pursuing this if I didn't believe in us."
Her mother's anger seemed to soften slightly, replaced by a mixture of concern and maternal worry. She looked at Pranali, her gaze searching. "Do you love him?"
Pranali nodded, her tears a testament to the sincerity of her feelings. "Yes, Mom. I love him."
Her mother sighed, her expression conflicted. "Pranali, I want what's best for you. But I'm worried about the challenges you'll face. I'm worried about your happiness."
Pranali's heart ached, her emotions raw. "Mom, I know it won't be easy. But I'm willing to take the risk. We both are."
Saying this she went into her room
