Against All Odds

Today, Y/N, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Saanvi were on their way to India, embarking on a journey to seek approval from both sets of parents for their marriage. Their flight was just about to land at Delhi IG International Airport, and the anticipation was palpable.

Although Y/N's home was in Delhi, they decided to visit Saanvi's home in Haryana first. Saanvi had grown up in a picturesque village, surrounded by lush green fields and a close-knit community. The group chatted animatedly on the flight, with Saanvi sharing stories about her childhood and the traditions of her family.

As the plane touched down, they felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. After collecting their luggage, they made their way to the car that would take them to Saanvi's family home. The drive to Haryana was filled with laughter and camaraderie, but underneath, there was an undercurrent of anxiety about the upcoming meetings.

Saanvi's parents were traditional and deeply rooted in their cultural values. Winning their approval would not be easy.

Upon arriving at Saanvi's home, her mother rushed outside, speaking in a single breath, "Saanvi, hurry inside! We have guests here to see you."

"Mummy, my friends are here..." Saanvi couldn't even finish her sentence before her mother, too excited to notice, hurried back inside.

Saanvi felt utterly sad, and seeing this, Y/N came up to her and said, "It's okay, Berry. Everything will be fine. Let's go inside first."

As soon as they went inside, Saanvi noticed three unfamiliar faces. There was a middle-aged couple and a boy who seemed to be their son. The scene clearly indicated that they had come to discuss a marriage proposal for Saanvi.

"Hello, Saanvi," the boy greeted her, standing up from his seat.

Saanvi forced a smile and then greeted the middle-aged couples, "Namaste..."

Inside, Saanvi was fuming with anger while her friends watched the situation unfold sadly.

"Guys, come sit," Saanvi pointed to an empty couch and then headed towards the kitchen.

"Mummy... what's all this? I told you I was bringing someone to meet," Saanvi said angrily.

"Keep your voice down, Saanvi, the guests will hear," her mother replied disinterestedly without even looking at her.

"Enough, Mummy. You always do whatever you want. I don't want this marriage. You go and tell them to leave," Saanvi's words were cut short by a hard slap on her cheek.

She turned around to see her father, his face contorted with anger. "Now you'll teach us what's right and wrong? You pick someone up from the trash and expect us to accept it?" he said venomously.

Saanvi's eyes filled with tears as she held her cheek, the sting of the slap resonating with the harshness of her father's words.

Saanvi took a deep breath, trying to steady her voice. "Papa, Jungkook is not just anyone. He's the person I love and want to spend my life with. You haven't even given him a chance."

Her father's face softened for a moment, but then he hardened his resolve. "This is not how things are done in our family, Saanvi. We have traditions and expectations."

Y/N decided to head to the kitchen to help Saanvi and her mother, but her feet stopped in the middle of the way as she heard the sound of a slap.

Gathering her courage, Y/N continued towards the kitchen, where she saw Saanvi holding her cheek, tears welling up in her eyes. Saanvi's father stood with his hand still raised, his face twisted in anger, while her mother looked away, avoiding eye contact.
