Author' POV

After changing clothes Ishita went downstairs for dinner. Finally she got back on track after coming back from wedding, she had more number of patients to attend as compared to any other day due to which her schedule was hectic.

She was still in touch with Neeti. As they exchanged their numbers and other social platforms IDs.

She helped her mother in setting dining table before taking her seat.

"Ayush, Ishu, I and your mother need to discuss something you", Mr Mehta said.

"Sure dad, what is it?", Ayush asked.

"First have your food, we will talk later", came his mother's reply.

Ishita just sat there finishing her food.

After helping her mother in cleaning dining table and kitchen, both Ishita and her mother went to drawing room where Ayush and her father was waiting for them.

"I want your opinion for something", Aarvind started looking at his children.

Both the brother sister nodded at him to continue.

"We got the marriage proposal for Ishu",

"Dad, we've talked about this, we will not force Ishu in something like this", Ayush spoke.

Whereas Ishita sat there silently. She was never a child who would talk in between or oppose anyone, she always want to choose the peaceful way to sort any matter.

"Let him complete Aayush, we just want to know your thoughts on this", her mother started.

"But mom, how'll she adjust in someone else's house, she is comfortable here",

"See, i told you, he is my son. He'll support my decision only", Arvind Mehta said with a proud look, while Ishita pressed her lips to control her laugh.

Ishita's mother looked both the father son duo with a so done expression.

"Stop it both of you, she has to go someday to her husband's house, and i think it is the suitable age", she spoke

"But mom she is just 23, why so hurry for her marriage ",

"Yes ,I agree, my child is still young for this and i don't think so that guy will keep her happy more than us", her father spoke in favour of her brother.

"And who the hell is the guy, how dare he send proposal for my sister", Ayush said in irritation.

"I married your dad when I was 20 and why do you mean by how dare he. She'll get many proposals, will you give the same reaction for each of them?", Her mom asked him.

"But mo-",

"I am not going to listen anything, I am calling them to meet us, I am not asking her to marry, I just want her to meet him", her mother said cutting Ayush.

"Are you okay with it beta?", Gita asked looking at her daughter.

"I am okay with whatever you decide Maa", Ishita said with a polite smile.

"What the hell Ishu, you are okay with marrying someone?", Both father son asked altogether.

"It just a small meeting papa, and bhaiya don't worry I'll not go against your decision, we just have to meet them, and i think it is okay", she said calmly.

"Who is the guy mom?", Ayush asked defeated after listening to his sister's words.

"Meet him when he'll come", Gita said not wanting to reveal the poor guy's name.
