Armaan was surprised seeing how well both the families are bonding,his dadi who always looks serious and angry, was talking to everyone politely with a smile on her face.. His mother was sitting near Abhira holding her hand with moist eyes as if she found her lost friend.. His father, uncle, aunt everyone was talking to each other's with so much satisfaction.. His cousin gang were playing cards in the other room taking Roohi in their team, as if they knew each other's since ages..
Armaan shied as he understood saying no for this relationship is not going to be easy and may be, just may be he should seriously consider giving this a try..
He looked at Abhira with the corner of his eyes, his family occupied her with various questions about her interests, her education, her future plans and what not... She was answering politely but with short, nervous replies, her mind still reeling from the shock of seeing Armaan..By everyone's gesture he was sure they already loved Abhira and started planning for his wedding..
Vidiya noticed how Armaan was looking at Abhira time to time and whispered to Swarna, 'Swarna ji, I think Armaan and Abhira should talk alone for a bit?..'
Swarna nodded and approached Manish, who was chatting with Mahadev, Armaan's father... 'Manish ji, we should to let Abhira and Armaan have some time alone to talk.. 'she'll
Manish agreed. 'Yes, if Armaan's family is ok with it, ask Roohi to take them to our terrace..'
Swarna turned to Roohi, 'Roohi, why don't you take Abhira and Armaan to the terrace? They can have a bit of privacy there..'
Roohi nodded and went to Abhira , 'Come on, Abhira.. Let's go to the terrace...' She looked and Armaan and said, 'Come on Jij.. I mean bha.. I mean Kha.. I mean Armaan ji lets go to our terrace..'
Abhira glared at Roohi, who gave her an apologetic smile.. Rohit, Armaan's brother, stood up hurriedly and said, 'Yes, Bhaia, let's go, I also want to see Bhab.. I mean Abhira ji's terrace..'
Armaan noticed the nervousness between Rohit and Roohi, after all he is a lawyer.. He was surprised and wondered why they were nervous, but he brushed the thought off and decided to concentrate on his own situation..
As they reached the terrace, Roohi and Rohit left, closing the door behind them.. Abhira and Armaan stood in an awkward silence for a few moments, each unsure of what to say.. Armaan looked at Abhira who was playing with her duppatta, he shook his head on her childish behavior and decided to break the ice, 'Abhira—'
But before he could finish his sentence, Abhira cut him off, 'You should go downstairs and tell them you don't want to marry me..'
Armaan was taken aback with her reply, he was expecting little greetings, after all he is her professor, 'Excuse me.. What?..'
Abhira looked away, trying to hold back her frustration, 'Its clearly written in your face that you don't want to marry me, So just go down stairs and tell them..'
Arman again asked with confusion, 'what??..
'No no, hold on.. Go downstairs and tell them you want to go home, as soon as you reach home tell them you don't want to marry me..' She smiled, 'yeah that sounds perfect..'
Armaan narrowed his eyes and said, 'it's also written in your face too that you were not expecting me here then why don't you go and tell your family you don't want to marry me, why should I do that?'
'Because..because..it's easier for you to say no.. You're the one who doesn't like me.. ' she took a pause and said, 'And honestly, I didn't expect you to be the one either..'
Armaan raised his eyebrows, 'Easier for me? Do you know how happy my family is right now?.. Saying no isn't going to be easy for me either..'
Abhira frowned, 'But... you're the professor! You should know how to explain yourself.. '
