ARRANGE MARRIAGE [SHUBMAN X ISHAN]

Crossing Continents: Love's Longing and Betrayal's Sting

In the grand home of the Kishans, a lively atmosphere filled the air as the family gathered in the living room. 

Mr. and Mrs. Kishan engaged in an animated conversation with their son, Raj, when suddenly, they spotted Ishan and Shubhman entering the house.

 "Oh, both of you are back!" exclaimed Mrs. Kishan with a warm smile. 

"Yes, maa," Ishan replied, his eyes twinkling with joy. 

Shubhman greeted everyone with his signature charm and joined the family in their conversation. 

The room buzzed with laughter and stories as they shared their experiences of the day. 

After some time, Shubhman turned to the Kishans and said, "Okay, Aunty and uncle, I have to go now." 

"Come on, Shubhman, you're going to be our son-in-law soon. Don't call us uncle and aunt anymore. Call us Maa and papa, okay?" Mr. Kishan said with a wink. 

Shubhman's heart swelled with affection as he obliged, "Okay, mama and Papa, I'm going." 

He touched their feet in respect and then turned to Raj. 

They shared a warm hug. 

As Shubhman made his way to the entrance, Ishan followed him. 

"What, baby? Are you planning to come with me?" Shubhman teased, noticing the blush creeping onto Ishan's cheeks. 

Ishan playfully retorted, "No, only two weeks are left before I come to your house as your husband." 

Shubhman's smile widened as he pulled Ishan into a tight embrace. 

"I'll miss you," he confessed, his voice filled with emotion.

 "I'll miss you too," Ishan replied, his heart aching with longing.

 Shubhman leaned down and pecked a gentle kiss on Ishan's forehead before reluctantly leaving. 

As he watched Shubhman's car disappear into the night, Ishan couldn't wait for the day when he would join his beloved and embark on their new life together.

Shubhman's heart raced with anticipation as he traversed the familiar path leading to his family's abode. 

The scent of jasmine wafted through the air, carried by the evening breeze, as he parked his car and made his way inside. 

Upon entering, he found his parents engrossed in a lively conversation, their faces lit up with joy and contentment. 

His sister, sat nearby, her nimble fingers dancing across the screen of her mobile phone.

 "Hi, Mama and Papa," Shubhman greeted them warmly. 

"Hi, beta," his mother, Mrs. Gill, replied, her voice laced with affection. 

"How was your day, son?" Mr. Gill inquired, his eyes twinkling with curiosity.

 "It was excellent, Papa," Shubhman responded, a genuine smile spreading across his face.

 "That's wonderful to hear," Mr. Gill remarked, his tone filled with pride. 

"And when is your flight to Germany?"

 "It's tomorrow at 9 am," Shubhman replied promptly. 

"Perfect," Mr. Gill said with a nod. "You know Arjun, don't you?"

 "Arjun....as in Arjun Tendulkar?" Shubhman asked in surprise. 

"Yes, that's right," Mr. Gill confirmed.
