The Twisted Tale of Virushka

30. We've a news to share

[Belated Happy new year people! May this year gives you everything you wish for... <3]

Virat's POV:

"Are we really doing it?" Nushkie asked.

"Nushkie, I know it's a big step but it is important for our relationship. And everyone does this, right?" I tried to convince her and she nodded.

"Is it going to hurt?" She gulped nervously.

"No it won't. We'll be careful" I caressed her cheeks.

"Have you ever done it before?" Her words came out merely in a whisper.

"No Nushkie, I had saved this for my special person and you're my special person" I pecked her forehead as she entwined her hands with mine and a faint smile appeared on her sweating face.

"Let's do this" She stated but her voice told me she was still nervous.

"Nushkie, If you're not ready we can wait for the right time" To my words, she smiled.

"Vi, you were right. We have to do this someday anyways so let's go for it" She patted my shoulder and I sighed happily giving a peck on her forehead.

"So, there you go!" I said holding her hands more tightly finally clicking on the button and the video call connected.

Slowly, Faces of our family members started appearing on screen and we kept our camera covered waiting for all of them to join.

Today, we decided to break the news of us being together to our families before they get to know from somewhere else because it's hard to not get spotted and even harder to keep worrying about it.

Tomorrow is Nushkie's off day and we wanted to enjoy it so we thought of doing this revelation the first thing today.

Nushkie was very nervous, so was I but when she asked me have I ever done this 'introducing my partner to my family' thing before, I realised that she is the first person I'm officially going to tell my family about, so they will understand how much she means to me.

"Aee munda te pagal hi aan, phone lagake rab jaane kithe dafa hogya" I saw my mother trying to spot me somewhere huffing angrily.

[This boy is crazy, only God knows where has he disappeared after calling us]

All the bravery from my system flew away in a second and I could already imagine what's going to happen.

We saw Anushka's parents joining the call now and looking confusingly at the blank screen.

"Anu, Where are you beta?" Her dad asked and Nushkie looked at me biting her lips nervously. I gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

"I told you Ajay, Colour your limited hairs first. I'm sure this girl is pranking us and will share these screenshots on social media. I'm not going to be sitting next to you now" Her mother schooled her dad and we couldn't help but smile on their antics.

Cuties they're!

"Wait! Ashima Aunty- Ajay Uncle, Is that you guys?" Vikas Bhaiya was the first one to speak and all of them registered each other's presence finally.

"Are, Aap log b ho call p. Bhot accha lga aaplogo ko dekh kar" Ashima Aunty said as everyone tried to understand the scene while greeting each other.

"What's happening, guys? How did we all land up on the same call?" Kans was the first one to raise the smartest question.

And we looked at each other giving a thumbs up sign and removed the cover from camera allowing all of them to see us.
