Day we met

Chapter 4-First meet

After one year

In the cozy living room of their home, the air filled with a mix of anticipation and familial warmth as Ric and his parents gathered to discuss a significant matter - deciding on the family member who would attend their elder brother's daughter's wedding. The soft glow of the evening sun filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle light on the room, and creating a serene ambiance for the important conversation ahead. Ric's parents, seated comfortably on the plush sofa, exchanged thoughtful glances, silently conveying the gravity of the decision at hand. Ric, sitting across from them, exuded a sense of responsibility and readiness to fulfill the family's wishes. The air was filled with unspoken sentiments of unity and support as they navigated the delicate task of selecting the family representative for the upcoming joyous occasion.

" So, we've all been invited to the wedding. Usually, we don't attend these ceremonies, but someone has to go." Ric mom Amrita said. It is a tough decision to make, Attending family ceremonies can be important, even if it's not something you typically do.

"Yes, it's family, after all." Antony Ric's father mumbled. Antony Ric's father said nodding in agreement understands the importance of family gatherings. Family bonds are precious, and attending such events can strengthen those ties.

(Amrita and Antony turn their gaze towards Ric.)
"Okay, I'll go." understanding the unspoken request of his parents Ric said.

"Thank you, Ric. Make sure to pack enough clothes for a couple of days." Ric's mom appreciated his decision to attend the wedding and reminded him to pack for a couple of days.

Antony said, looking out the window "And don't forget a gift. Maybe take that silver vase we bought last month?"

"Sure, I'll pack that." Ric nodded his head in acceptance

Amrita felt relieved "Great. And be sure to congratulate them on behalf of all of us."

Ric informed standing up and heading to his room to start packing "Got it. I'll start packing now."

Meanwhile in Saakshi's house :

"Dad I do not want to go" Saakshi yelled at her father. After her granny's death, she isolated herself in darkness avoiding everyone and she became a sociopath. Saakshi's taking a dark and complex turn after her granny's death.

"This is Myra's wedding.... your cousin's marriage" he tried to pursue her in all possible ways but she denied him. She is a completely different person after her granny's death. Saakshi is going through a difficult time, completely changing after her granny's passing.

"I don't feel like going please Dad try to understand" Saakshi's emotional plea to her father to understand her pain Despite her heartfelt requests, it seems like her father is struggling to comprehend the depth of her emotions.

"Please understand my dear, I have important work on that day and I can't attend the wedding. This is our relatives' marriage" Saakshi's father's decision to send her to the marriage event with the hope of helping her return to her old self showcases his concern and care for her well-being. Despite his important work commitments, he believes that this gathering could provide Saakshi with an opportunity to interact with others and potentially heal from the pain she's been experiencing since her granny's passing.

"I'm not going anywhere" she retorted back. She doesn't know that she isn't going to win this argument, Saakshi is standing her ground and not budging on attending the event. Her father's intentions might be good, but it looks like Saakshi is determined to stick to her decision.

"I had never asked anything before. Only this time, I will never ask for anything" he pleaded with her. He is her father how can a parent give up on their child they never give up right? That's what he's doing, he's going to great lengths to try and make things right for Saakshi, and he's trying his best to change her mindset. His desperation to help her and his willingness to do whatever it takes to see her happy again truly shows his love and concern for her well-being.
