SIYAAPE!!!

Ridhima Agarwal
I was entering my home tiptoeing not wanting to wake anyone, Suddenly the light started and I was freezed to see maa papa sitting their with their looking through my soul.
Hey Mahadev aaj bacha lena paka iss Janam mein aur kisi ki pareshan nahi karungi
Thinking that I gulped down my throught.

"Aap log soye nahi?" I asked in a slow tone.
"Kon tha voh ladka?" Mumma asked me raising her brow sending shivers down my spine. "K-Kon ladka mumma" "vahi joh chodne aaya tha and..." papa replied looking so disappointed.
"Acha voh toh late ho gaya tha na toh bad mujhe chodne aaye the" I lied making me feel guilty but I just can't tell them about our relation. You know typical Indian parents.
"Jolly! You know I hate lies" Papa said standing from the seat and leaving from there
"We both didn't expected this from you beta" mumma said also leaving behind papa with a sorrow face.
I too went to my room and dropped my self on bed. Letting my tears flow thinking about mummas word, I honestly never felt  worst like this cuz I always worked hard to make them proud on me not disappointed.
My brain was full of negative thoughts about what they will think about mine and Abhay's relationship? Will they accept it?. I was lost in my thought when I got a msg from him.

I left his text on read and slept thinking about tomorrow.

(Next day- morning)

I woke up with puffy and sore eyes maybe because of crying. I decided to take a warm bath before going down.
I wore a coffee tee with beige cargo, and did a minimal makeup to hide my eye bags.
After the make up I went downstairs to find maa papa already on dinning table waiting for me.
"Beta aaja breakfast karle" Maa said and I nodded not daring to look at their eyes.
"After breakfast we want to talk to you about something" papa said finally looking at me to which I nodded hesitantly.
After the breakfast we three were sitting in the living room with Shiba(my dog) on my lap.
"Kya kaam karta h voh" mumma asked with folded hands and full attention on me.
"Cardiologist and head member of M&D group of hospital" I replied looking at the floor.
"Hmm name??" "Abhay"  "full name"
"M-Malhotra, AbhayMalhotra" I replied
"Brahman!?" "Hmm"
"But beta he is from another caste how can we-" papa intrupted
"Papa who cares about the caste now huh?"
"But beta" "mumma, mama-mami ki bhi toh intercaste marriage thi na and I promise just atleast meet him you would definitely like him" I requested them.
"This relationship is not expectable neither by the society nor by us" papa declared.
"But papa pyaar koi caste ya religion Dekh k nahi hota" "What is this pyaar and all huh? Shaddi k baad sab ko pyaar ho hi jata h"
"Papa mumma pls understand he is my soul and a body is nothing without it's soul, pls maa paa" I said tears falling from my eyes .
My mumma stood up and hugged me, I cried more hugging her. Soon papa joined us and said.
"Call him for dinner tommorow"
"But-" "you want me to give you guys a chance or not?" "Fine!!"I huffed and hugged them tightly
