The Much Awaited Family Meet

20th Dec, 2022
Mumbai

A Christmas dinner was being planned with both the families. This was the very first time, the parents were to meet each other, as in they knew each other but then meeting was a whole lot of a different milestone. It clearly conveyed that SHUB and SARA had made it to a level where they could proudly say, "He is my choice or She is my choice. I want to spend my life with this person."

Sara had already coordinated with Sachin's team and arranged the schedule accordingly. They had to directly reach London from Krabi. Now it was time, she personally invited both Sachin and Anjali for the same. When she went to tell them about meeting Shub's parents in London for the Christmas dinner, Sachin gave a very comforting smile. He understood that the storm he had warned both Shub and Sara about, during their first interaction in 2019, had massively failed to bring any impact on their feelings for each other. There was a lot of difference in today's situation and the situation back in 2019 when they had confessed, them seeing each other.
Shubman had went ahead to be fondly called the "Prince of Indian Cricket Team." Sachin, himself had been in admiration of his batting technique lately. He knew their love had stood the test of time. In the same way, he was equally proud of Sara, he was proud of of their parenting, that inspite of all the noise around they had been able to raise a lady who knew how to love and how to stick to her loved ones. He was so proud of both of them. He told Sara, "So, we have come to a stage where we have to now meet Bade Gill Saheb ?"

Sara: (Smilingly) "Hahaha! Yes, we just want you all to meet once."

Sachin: "Hmmmm! Okaaayyy!"

Sara: "Okaaaay ?"

Sachin: "Yes beta, you both have proved me wrong. I really didn't think it will reach till here because I thought aajkal ke generation ko pyaaar karna aata kahan hai? But I was wrong, I can see that."

Anjali: "Yes. When I had met your father, I already was a doctor while he had just begun playing cricket, but I trusted his talent, his will. I am so proud, you are equally emotionally intelligent, Sara. You both have proved us wrong."

Sara: (Excitedly) Maa Baba, do you guys like Shubman.?"

Sachin: "Shubman, the cricketer ? Unquestionally yes!. He is a class."

Sara: "Yeah! That tooo. But, Shubman,the...."

Sachin: "Shubman as our Son ? Ummmm, we like the idea of that as well. Your happiness is the most important thing for us, beta. Over these years, even he has proved how serious he is about you and this relationship, so who are we to be the blockage?"

Anjali: "I toh have loved him since he used to come home as Arjun's friend. Such a well manured boy, mujhe aur kya chahiye meri beti ke liye."

Sara: "Eeeeeeee, I love you Maaaa Baba!!!" Saying this Sara hugged both of them.

Sachin and Anjali: "Hehe, we love you more, mera baccha."

Shub was home and he had also coordinated well with his team already. But he had to tell about the same to his parents as well.

Shub: "Maa Papa, kuch baat karni thi."

Shub's Mom: "Bolo, kyaa baaat hai ?"

Shub: "Sara and I were planning, vo, asal me, hum chah rahe the aaplog mil lo ek baar."

Shub's Father: "Kisse milna hai ?"

Shub: "Sara's parents."

Shub's Mom: "Tainu abhi shaadi karni hai ?"

Shub: "Nahi Mummy! Shaadi karne ke pehle hi milna hota hai kya ? Matlab aise hi ek baar mil lo aaplog, we are quite serious about us, toh aap sab ko ek baar milwana chah rahe the."
