I get dressed in a navy blue shirt with rolled up sleeves and a black pant leaving my hair to have a salt pepper look. Priya looked damn pretty in a matching Anarkali, she is an angel.
"Listen, mom will be kinda hyper..."
She intervenes as we were walking towards the house "Relax will you? It'll be fine.. and I should be tensed but look at you.."
I sigh and hold her hand "I know my mom"
She lightly chuckles shaking her head and we finally move into the house.
As we step in the living mom comes up with the brightest smile and hugs Priya, which makes me leave her hand.
Mom cups her face and smiles at her "My daughter in law"
"Mom.." I glare at her and she glares back at me "Kya mom? Bataya kyun nahi tu ne ki it's Priya.."
"Mom we.."
"Tujhse baat hi nahi karni hai mujhe.." mom turns her face away and smiles at priya "Come beta, ab yeh tumhara hi ghar hai"
She drags Priya to the couch while I roll my eyes before moving towards them.
"So, how did you even like this kaam chor?" Mom asks making Priya giggle.
I gasp "Mom? What the hell? Main kabse kaamchor ho gaya?"
"Bol na beta.. he keeps you happy na?" Mom further inquires ignoring me.
Priya blushes nodding "Jee.."
Just then dad walks in and Priya and mom gets up. Priya moves forward and touches his feet followed by mom's.
"I'm surprised that you've chosen ram.." Dad says and I give them a 'are you serious?' look.
"Am I really that bad?" I throw my hands in air and I see Priya suppressing her laugh.
"We really like you beta and Abhi's parents has always talked so high about you and we've seen how sweet you're.." Dad smiles at her.
I clear my throat "Aren't you guys going too fast?"
"Shutup ram! Come let's have dinner.." Mom ushers Priya to the dining.
"Vansh?" Priya asks and mom gives me a glare "Isske darr se bechara room mein baitha hai.."
"Achi baat hai, he should be scared" I respond and Priya gets up saying "Is it okay if I call Vansh?"
Mom and dad smiles at her and mom says "Zaroor, his room is the last one in the first corridor"
Priya nods and glances at me before walking upstairs.
"Can you guys please chill down?" I look at my parents.
"Why didn't you say earlier that you're already seeing her?" Mom glares at me.
"Because of this nonsense! I don't want to rush.."
"Ram voice down.." Dad glares at me.
I sigh "I need time..."
"You're already..."
"No mom! Don't start the age topic now.."
"I don't understand this boy anymore.. first he hides his relationship and now that we like her and we are ready..."
"I'M NOT READY" I yell and that's when Priya and Vansh come up.
"Don't tell me you only want to spoil her life" Dad says angrily and I chuckle "What are you even saying?"
"Then why do you have a problem in marrying her?" Mom intervenes.
"Oh god! I can't breathe here" I get up and storm out of the house.
I step into the lawn and take out a stick from the box. I light it up and exhale releasing some tension.
About a minute later, someone snatches the stick from my lips and before I could yell... I find Priya next to me. I sigh and look away taking out another one.
She holds my hand making me look up at her "I didn't know you smoke.."
"Let me Priya..." I remove her hand and take another stick.
"Fine! You want to release your stress in this harmful way... I won't stop you. But know that, I won't talk to you either.." She leaves and I see her going to the gate.
I groan and sprint behind her as she stood outside trying to book a cab.
"Come and sit in the car" I say and she ignores me.
"FOR FUCK SAKES!!" I yell and she flinches.
"GET IN THE CAR NOW" I say sternly stressing on each word before going back in and getting in my Mercedes. Priya joins me in the car and I drive out towards the penthouse.
The journey was all silent and as soon as we entered the flat, priya held my hand before I could go to the balcony.
She comes infront of me and says "You didn't have to be so rude at home..."
I sigh "I know but... mom and dad!!"
She cups my face and tiptoes pecking my lips "Relax, if you'll talk to them nicely... they'll understand your point"
"No.."
She cuts me with "Okay shall I talk to them?"
"You will?"
"Why not? I'll talk to Krishna aunty.."
I look at her for a few seconds before pulling her in my embrace.
"I'm sorry.." I mumble and she pulls apart looking up at me "No smoking here on"
"I'm not a regular, only when I need the most.."
"Whatever, if I see you smoking I'll never talk to you" She threatens me and I smile leaning in and pecking her lips "Okay baby"
"You should say sorry to aunty and uncle.. they must be very upset.." She whispers and I nod.
"I'll do it, even I don't feel good after reacting such way"
She smiles caressing my cheek "Now can we go out for dinner? I'm hungry"
"Oh shit! I'm so sorry baby, meri wajah se.."
"Shh! Ab chalein?" She giggles and I couldn't help grin feeling so lucky to have her.
I take her to a five star hotel and we relish on the delicious food before going back home. We change into our night clothes and lay down in bed with her in my arms.
"Can I ask you something?" She mumbles laying her head on my chest while I was caressing her hair.
I hum and she says "Why you run away from marriage?"
"I've already told you that I'm not a person who does relationships... this is new to me. I need some time before indulging myself into a lifelong commitment priya" I answer her calmly and a few minutes passes but I get no reply from her.
"Priya?" I call out and she snuggles into me "I'm feeling sleepy"
I kiss her head "Good night baby"
She hums in response and I just hold her while thinking about everything happened back at home.
