Part - 34

Priyanka's House

Priyanka's family, Ankit, Sid, and Pri, gathered in the living room. It was completely silent, like a pin drop. Everyone sat there with shocked expressions, except for Ankit and Priyanka. Pri glanced at Ankit, who was nervous about the silence, then shifted her gaze to her parents and brother, who were looking at them with wide eyes. Sid's reaction was even more extreme, with his mouth wide open, which made Pri stifle a giggle.

But also Sid was the first one to come out of shock.

"What, are you both serious? You want to get married, and that too ASAP?" Sid exclaimed, unable to believe what he had just heard a few minutes earlier. Pri rolled her eyes.

"I want to talk with Ankit," Pri's father said with a stern tone, gaining everyone's attention. Seeing his serious expression, Ankit looked at Priyanka nervously. Priyanka blinked her eyes and nodded, encouraging him.

Ankit followed Priyanka's father to the study room.

As soon as they left, Sid jumped in front of Priyanka, startling her.

"Devil, are you seriously going to get married? How can you both think about marriage now? What about love, dates, etc.? Did you even propose to each other? You're going to be the first couple in the world to get married without saying 'I love you,' even though you both love each other. What a crazy love story, just like my crazy friend. And..." His voice was muffled by Pri's hand pressed over his mouth.

"STOP, STOP, STOP!" Pri exclaimed loudly, pressing her hand to his mouth to stop his ranting.

"Umm, ummm... ummm," Sid made muffled noises and licked her hand.

"Yuck, chiiiii... Sidharth!" Pri shouted and ran after him, trying to clean her hand with his shirt while he ran away from her.

Arjun, Aarohi, and Pri's mother were enjoying the free entertainment while munching on snacks.

After a few minutes, Pri and Sid were both tired.

"Yaar, sorry, but now I'm tired. Let's eat something," Sid said, throwing his hands in the air.

Pri narrowed her eyes at him and smiled at his cute, apologetic face. She washed her hands and wiped them with his shirt, smirking.

Study room

Ankit was sitting in front of Pri's father, nervously tapping his foot continuously. It had been five minutes since they entered, but no words had been exchanged, which made Ankit even more anxious. Pri's father's stern face was not helping.

"Umm... Uncle..." Ankit began to speak but was cut off by Priyanka's father.

"So, when should we decide the marriage date?" he asked with a smirk. Ankit looked at him wide-eyed and with his mouth open. Pri's father laughed at Ankit's expression.

"Arey beta, what happened? Why are you looking at me like I'm an alien?" he asked with a chuckle.

"Umm, are you agreeing to this marriage? I mean..." Ankit said.

"Why wouldn't I? My daughter's happiness is more important, and I trust her decision," he said, making Ankit admire the father-daughter bond.

"And I trust you with Priyanka even more," he said, leaving Ankit stunned.

Seeing Ankit's expression, he continued.

"Didn't you understand?" he asked, and Ankit shook his head.

"So let me explain. Have you ever wondered why we never objected to Priyanka going out with you? Why we didn't mind her staying at your penthouse? Why we didn't object as you both grew closer? Every parent is protective of their children and cautious about who they trust them with," he said. Ankit looked at him, reflecting on the past. Despite being overprotective, Priyanka's parents and brother had never questioned their bond.
