"Soumya"

"Our Soumya??!!" Dadisa said loudly.

Meenakshi nodded.

"OH MY GOD!!!! " Dadisa got up from the bed and went to Meenakshi and hugged her

"Why didn't it come to my mind? No one is perfect than her for our Shreyansh. "

"What do you think, Babasa?" Rudraksh said.

"I don't have anything to say. Your mother said everything. Did you talk with Shreyansh about it? Dadasa said.

Rudraksh shook his head in negative.

" Why are you waiting for? Now go from here and talk with him. I can't wait to see Soumya as my granddaughter-in-law. Now go.. go."Dadisa told them to leave.

Everyone laughed and Meenakshi and Rudraksh went from there.

~

Rudraksh and Meenakshi decided that Meenakshi would talk with Shreyansh about the proposal.

Meenakshi went to his wing and knocked on his office room because he could only be there at this hour.

"Come in, Maasa. You don't have to knock." Shreyansh said. He knows only her mother could come there.

Meenakshi took a seat in front of him. He was checking some files.

"I have to tell you something. "

Without looking at her, he nodded to continue.

"Don't you think you should get married now?"

"Please don't get started again. I told you before that."

Meenakshi ignored him and continued,
"We found a girl who is perfect for you and will be a great Queen for Udaipur. "

"I'm telling you again that I can't marry now with whoever she i-"

Meenakshi cut him off and said,
"Soumya...We are thinking about Soumya as your future partner. "

After hearing Soumya's name from his mother's mouth, he took his eyes off the files to his mother.
" What?!!!"

"Yes, She is perfect for you. Such a sweet soul she is! I'm saying is no one can be a greater Queen than her."

"It can't be possible."

"Why?"

"She will not agree with this marriage. "

"That means You're ready for this marriage. "

"That's not the point. She doesn't have any feelings for me." He said it absentmindedly.

"So you have feelings for her."

Shreyansh realised what he said before and became silent.

Meenakshi smiled and said,
"I'm your mother. I know those things that you don't even know. When I saw sparks in my son's eyes for someone, I didn't need any clarification. "

"Maasa, It's not like that. "

"Shut up. I saw both of you exchanging glances with each other at the dining table and sitting on the terrace every night."

Shreyansh realized that he couldn't debate with his mother. He had to admit it because she knew everything that happened between them. He took a deep breath and said,

"She doesn't have any feelings for me."

"Did she tell you that?"

He shook his head.

"Then why are you losing your hopes without even trying? You have to approach her and confront her about your feelings. You have to give her some time to feel what you feel for her. I give you a 100% guarantee that she will also feel how you feel for her. You are a Rathore, you can't admit your defeat without trying. I can't see my son every day when he sees the empty seat beside him. I can see when your face becomes sad after seeing her seat. " she said strictly.

Shreyansh had remembered those things that she said to him. But his mother was also right. He couldn't admit defeat without trying. If she didn't have any feelings now, it was fine. But he had to try. Only he knows how he passed those restless nights without her presence in his life. He could not forget those eyes, the scent, the voice... Anything. He needed her in his life.

"Now tell me. Should we send the proposal to Agnihotris for Soumya? "

He looked at her for some moment silently and then finally nodded.
Meenakshi smiled got up from the chair and said,
"Now no one will be Rathore's Bahu except Soumya."

She turned and went near the door when Shreyansh said,
"Thank you Maasa."

Meenakshi looked at him and smiled.

"And please don't say anything to Vihaan."

~

Soumya and Vihaan's graduation program had happened. Vihaan's and Soumya's parents were present there. They normally greeted each other that day.

The next day in the morning, Soumya and Vihaan went to meet each other in their favorite cafe for breakfast.

"Abh kya bekar reh kar ghar ke kone mein Pari rahigi naki aur kuch kam dhanda bhi karegi."
(Now will you just stay idle and lie in a corner of the house instead of doing some other business)

Soumya sipped her iced coffee and said,
"I'm thinking I'll join Papa's office from next month.Aur tu kya karega samne?"
(What will you do in the future?)

"Abh mujhe jitna dekhna hein dekh le.kuch din baad mujhe dekh bhi nehi paigi.Ansh Bhaisa jeise office mein haar din mereko hazar kam dete hein mujhe to lagta hein ki mein jyada din bachne wala nehi hu. "After hearing Shreyansh's name,Soumya's body became numb.
" Babasa and Bhaisa gave me some tasks. If I do them perfectly in the next six months, they will give me the position of CFO. Isn't it cool?"
(Now you can see as much as you want to. After a few days, you won't even be able to see me. Just like Ansh Bhaisa gives me thousands of words every day in the office, I feel I am not going to survive many more days.)

Soumya nodded and said,
"Best of luck. May god grant you all your wishes. You know I'm always with you. If you need some help, you can call me any time. I'll be there for you."

Vihaan smiled and said,
"I know, but I'll miss those moments and these things, "gesturing to the cafe. "I don't know how I will manage without you. College ke haar assignment tere help se submit kia.Abh office ke kam kese sambhalunga tere bina.If I could, I would bring you with me in Udaipur."
(I submitted all my college assignments with your help. How will I manage the office without you?)

Soumya's eyes filled with tears. But her phone broke their emotional moment. She checked the caller ID and received the call.

"Hello, Maa."

"Come back home right now," said Shivangi in an excited tone.

"Kuch der pehli hyi to ayi. Thoda baat to karne do Vihaan se."
(I came a while ago. Let me talk to Vihaan for a little )

"Saari zindegi baat kar payegi usse. Abh jaldi ghar aja aur use bhi sath lekar aana."
(YOU will be able to talk to him your whole life. Come home soon and bring him along with you.)

Soumya heard some noises from her mother's call. Before she could say something, her mother cut the call.
