The function was over. Everyone was in their rooms taking rest. Meghna had summoned Turvi for a chat but no one spoke and the silence in the room was killing Turvi.

Every time her mother wanted to 'have a talk' it always ended badly and she knew this one would too.

"How are things between you and Siddhant?" Meghna finally broke the silence.

"It's fine," Turvi replied softly, bracing herself for what was to come.

"Well, Turvi, I didn't want to bring this up, but you've given me no choice. Earlier, Samyati Ji called me, and you know what she wants, don't you?" asked Meghna seriously.

"For me to have sex with her grandson" thought Turvi.

"At some point, you'll have to consider having children-" Meghna began, but Turvi cut her off abruptly.

"I'm tired Ma, it's getting late" she said and got up from the bed.

"Think about it, Turvi" said Meghna and Turvi managed to fake a nod.

"Good night" she said and left the room and walked towards their room.

She entered the room to find it empty, assuming Siddhant had gone out. She settled onto the bed, fetching a piece of chocolate from her bag. Turvi has a habit of stress eating and she neglects the fact that it's kinda serious now. She has been doing that since that incident happened, how could she ever forget it?

Just as she relaxed, Siddhant emerged from the washroom, casually clad in a towel, drying his hair.

"God! Why are you naked?" she exclaimed, a mix of disgust and surprise evident in her voice.

Siddhant chuckled, amused by her reaction. "I'm not completely naked. And why are you so disgusted? Is it your first time seeing a man half naked?" he teased, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Turvi quickly responded, her voice uncertain. "It's not, but... it's my first time seeing you half naked. Or maybe not," she pondered, trailing off into a brief silence that hung awkwardly between them.

"I'm hungry" Siddhant said, breaking the silence and approached Turvi, prompting her hesitant response. "Oh... okay... then... eat something," she managed, her discomfort palpable.

"That's what I'm doing," Siddhant replied with a teasing smirk as he leaned closer, locking eyes with Turvi and deftly snatching the chocolate bar from her hand, much to her annoyance.

"That was mine," she protested with a scowl.

"Now it's mine," Siddhant retorted, taking a bite with a grin.

"You're such a jerk," Turvi muttered, though there was a hint of affection beneath her irritation.

Siddhant couldn't help but smile at her reaction, "I love teasing you" he said.

"Of course, you do" replied Turvi, rolling her eyes.

As they settled facing each other, Siddhant asked, "Where did you go?"

Turvi sighed softly and responded "To my parent's room. Apparently, your Dadi had called mom and told her to tell me to fuck you so she could have a grandson" Siddhant couldn't help but laugh at her words.

"What? It's not funny!!" she snapped, her irritation evident in her tone.

He struggled to control his laughter. "Okay, I'm sorry, but the way you said it was funny," he admitted, earning a glare from her.

"So, what are you going to do about it?" he asked, seriously.

"About what?" she asked.

"The child issue," he clarified.
