"Papa, but why?" I looked at Mom for help

"Papa, but why?" I looked at Mom for help. She glanced at Dad, making a face.

"I...I just don't like him" he said, turning his face away.

"Papa, Siddh is a very nice person. You've already met him. I love him, Papa" I said. He turned towards me, so I continued.

"It's okay, Papa. If you don't like him, I won't confess my feelings to him until you agree. I bet he can wait for me and understand me. You will have to agree someday. I believe in my love. I will never do anything that you wouldn't like" I said, tears starting to flow from my eyes.

"Chup karr, he already likes him for you" Mathashree stood up and sat beside Dad.

She gently turned him towards our side. His eyes were moist.

"Tell me, princess, you love me more than him" he asked like a child.

I chuckled, wiping my tears from my face. "Papa, I love you more than anyone in this world." I hugged him tightly.

"Dhono baap beti dramabaaz hai," Mom said, chuckling.

"Finally, someone realized" Meera said, munching on the bhajji, enjoying the drama.

I looked at her in shock. "You all knew?" I asked, perplexed.

"Haan haan, pure duniya ko pata hai, you both are in love, except you" she said.

I looked at Ma and Papa, who were smiling at me with happiness.

"Siddh already talked to us when he visited the house. We like him a lot. He is perfect for you" Mathashree said.

I stood up from my place, unable to contain my happiness. I might burst from all this joy. Oh God! It feels like a dream.

"Papa, I want to go out. Can I?" I asked, needing some alone time.

"Be careful, and return early" Papa said, ruffling my hair.

"But it may rain again" Mumma said.

"Let her go" Papa said.

I left the house, feeling like I was floating on air.

I started walking down the road, my heart racing with a mix of joy and anticipation.

I can't really explain this feeling inside me.

I just want to be with him every minute, every day. I want to be able to see him, to long for him, for his warm touch. To be able to stare into his dark eyes forever.

Melt into his arms and remain there. Tell him how much I adore him. Talk in whispered voices to each other, exchanging words meant for no one else but us.

To hold his warm hands in my cold ones. To have his scent linger on me. Never letting go.

That is what I feel every second of the day. And it's driving me crazy.
