Rishi's Father and Mother
Later that evening, Mr.Rudrapriya sits alone in his study, reflecting on the day’s events. The room is filled with shelves of books and family photos, creating a warm and comforting
*(Rishi's looks at a photo of Rishi and reminisces about his son’s journey.)*
**Mr. Rudrapriya:* *(softly)* "Rishi has always been determined. Perhaps this is a test of his resilience."
*(Rishi 's mom enters the room quietly, noticing her husband deep in thought.)*
**Mrs Puja*(gentle)* "Are you okay, dear?"
*Mr. Pranav:* *(smiling)* "I think so, dear. I was just thinking about Rishi dekho na kya hogaya hum kahan bahu dhunde wale the aur yeh kya shaddi hogayi( gives a sarcastic smirk)."
*Mrs. Puja: *(sitting beside him)* "It’s all so unexpected, but maybe there’s a reason for it."
**Mr. Pranav:***(nodding)* "Yes, I was talking to Rishi earlier. He seems to be handling it well. Aur woh ladki Urmila... Her family seems respectable. Doctors and a father known for his wisdom. Kaffi naam hai bahot izad wale hain"
**Mrs. Puja:* *(nodding thoughtfully)* "Ek baat tabse man mein tha ki yeh sab kuch acha horaha hai shayad. Ek ander se alag awaz bol rahi hai ki kuch sahi hua hai. "
**Mr Pranav:* *(frowning)* "A reason? What possible reason could justify such a drastic action?"
**Mrs Puja:**(thoughtfully)* "Maybe this is a way to steer Rishi away from that girl, Somi. You know how we feel about their relationship aur woh ladki."
**Mr Pranav** *(worried)* "But Rishi was so set on her.Bas woh aur problem na create karen ab toh ek aur insaan bhi jud gayi hai woh bichara Urmila uski toh galati nahi hai, usse bilkul saja nahi miluni chahiye.
**Mrs Puja* *(calmly)* "Perhaps it’s a test of his resilience. And... I’ve heard good things about Urmila's family. Her father, especially, seems to be a respected man in the the society."
**Mr. Pranav:** *(optimistically)* "Maybe this is an opportunity for Rishi to see things differently. To consider what’s best for his future."
**Mrs. Puja:** *(nodding slowly)* "I just hope he handles this with maturity. Mere bacha kaffi samjhdar hai bas woh ladki ke chakar dimag kharab hota hai.
*(They sit together in thoughtful silence, finding some comfort in each other’s presence amidst the uncertainty of their son’s unexpected marriage)
