Shubman's pov:

I'd be lying if I said that I'm not scared. If I had to give a TBH, then I must say I'm shitting to have that chat regarding Shona to my mom.

I have started calling her that occasionallly...well because she is my family and I like to address her by her personal nickname.

So anyways, I don't have the guts to discuss it with my parents all by myself, that's why I will have di explaining the whole scenario to my parents.

It's almost 10 at night. We've all had dinner and now we're just chilling on the couch indoors as it is too hot to even go out at nightwalks in june.

I'm so nervous my hands are shaky and I can't stop my leg from bouncing up and down. You might wonder why is this happening.

Actually I love both the women to death, Aashna and my mom, but if anything goes wrong, then I won't be able to leave my mom for Aashna but I'll aslo be not able to live without her.
I can't have only one and be fully happy.

"Mummy, aapse hame kuchh baat karni he." Di's voice pulls me out of my horrid thoughts.

"Haan bol ki he?" Mom said, she was on her phone.

"Mummy aap phone neeche rakhogi kade?" Shahneel said.

"Esi ki gallan hai? Bol ne!" Dad said and mom kept down her phone and looked at us.

"Ok toh me kuchh zyada dikhava karke nhi bolungi, mummy, papa, ab shaadi ki age ho hi gyi he, toh kar hi leni chahiye, hena?" She said.

"Koi ladka pasand aa gya he tujhe, bata de jaldi, kon he, kya karta he? Punjabi he na? Kya naam he?" Dad said and looks shocked.

"Me apni baat nhi kar rhi hu, me toh Shubhi ki baat kar rhi hu!" She said and mom looked suspiciously at me.

"Ab isko kon pasand aa gyi?" Dad asked her.

"Papa, bataya toh he aapko, ek hi ladki he, Aashna,  bohot acchi he wo, aap log ek baar mil toh lo usse!" I said to dad.

"Mujhe ye gall samjh ni aa ri, esa kya he uss ladki me jo tujhse wo chhodi nhi jaa rhi?" Mom said.

"Mummy.....pyaar karta hu me usse, aur ham log....ham log 2 saal se date kar rhe he ab bhi aap itni against kyo ho uske?" I said.

"Mummy, saaf baat he, jab ham log Bali gaye the, tab wo bhi thi hamare saath." Di said and mom holds her head in her hands.

"Mujhe toh pehle hi pata tha ki kuchh gadbad he, par ne hi pagal thi jo tum logon par bharosa kar liya!" She said.

"Ek minute mummy, meri baat abhi khatam nhi hui he, puri baat sun lo pehle." She said, wait a second, is she gonna tell about the engagement?

"Shubman ne usey propose kar diya he, they are engaged, toh ab aapko usse milna hi padega!" Di said with a straight face and I  saw mom gasp and widen her eyes.

"HAYE RABBA, pata nhi konsa jaadu kar diya he mere heere se bete par jo usne bina kisi ko bataye, bina kisi se puchhe itna bada kadam utha liya??!?!" She shouted while crying a little.

"Oye kaka? Tu itna vadda ho gya, jo tune hame batana bhi jaruri ni samjha?" Dad also said.

"Mummy, papa agar me aapko batata toh aap mujhe esa kabhi nhi karne dete! Aur me yahi chahta hu, uska zindagi bhar ka saath!" I said.

Mom continued to cry while dad was comforting her.

"Mummy, aap kuchh nhi sochne se pehle usse mil lo ek baar, fir kuchh bolna, I'm sure wo aapko bohot pasand aayegi!" Di said and mom shakes her head.
