Rudra paced nervously in his room, his phone clutched tightly in his hand. He had just come from a tense conversation with his parents, who had discovered his relationship with Sia. Surprisingly, they weren’t angry but instead wanted to meet her. Taking a deep breath, he dialed Sia's number.
Sia picked up after a few rings. "Hey, Rudra! What’s up?"
"Hey, Sia," Rudra replied, trying to keep his voice steady. "I have something important to tell you."
There was a brief pause on the other end. "What is it? You sound serious."
Rudra took a deep breath. "My parents found out about our relationship."
Sia’s heart skipped a beat. "Oh... how did they react?"
"Actually, they took it better than I expected," Rudra said, feeling slightly more at ease now that he was talking to her. "They want to meet you. They’ve invited you to dinner tonight."
Sia felt a mix of emotions—nervousness, excitement, and a bit of relief. "Tonight? That’s... sudden."
"I know," Rudra said, his tone apologetic. "But they’re really eager to meet you. I think it’s a good sign."
Sia took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. "Okay. I’ll come. What time should I be there?"
"At7 PM," Rudra replied. "I’ll come to pick you up around 6:30."
"Alright," Sia said, a small smile forming on her lips despite her nerves. "I’ll see you then."
"Thank you, Sia," Rudra said, his voice filled with gratitude. "I know this is sudden, but I really appreciate it."
