Facing the In-Laws

At Night

As they approached Anjali's house, Aryan felt a bead of sweat trickle down his forehead. He glanced nervously at Aahan and Arushi, who were too busy stuffing their faces with snacks to notice his anxiety.

"Why did I agree to this?" Aryan muttered under his breath, rubbing his palms together. "What if her parents don't like me?"

"Relax, big bro!" Aahan said between bites of chips.

"Just be your charming self. And if all else fails, just smile and say, 'I brought cupcakes!' That always works!"

Arushi rolled her eyes, trying not to laugh. "You two are impossible."

As they entered the living room, Anjali's parents looked up from their conversation, eyebrows raised in curiosity.

Aryan's heart raced as he took a deep breath, preparing to face the impending interrogation.

"Mom, Dad, this is Aryan," Anjali introduced, gesturing toward him.

"And this is Aahan, his brother."

Before Aryan could gather his thoughts, Arushi darted forward, a mischievous glint in her eye.

"See your son-in-law?" she whispered loudly, pointing dramatically at Aryan as if he were on a stage.

Mrs.Verma raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at her lips. "Son-in-law, huh?" she said, trying to suppress a laugh.

Aryan felt his face heat up as he stammered, "Uh, nice to meet you! I mean, I—"

"Relax!" Aahan interrupted, clapping Aryan on the back.

"You're doing great. Just remember to smile!"

Mr.Verma crossed his arms, a playful look in his eyes.

"So, Aryan, what are your intentions with our daughter?" he asked, leaning forward as if he were genuinely interested.

Aryan gulped, his mind racing.

"Uh, well, I really care about Anjali. I want to make her happy!" He flashed a nervous smile, hoping it would buy him some time.

Mr.Verma leaned forward, a playful glint in his eyes. "Well, let's see if you can handle a little challenge."

"Oh no," Aryan thought, a chill running down his spine. "What challenge?"

Aahan, ever the enthusiastic one, shouted, "I'm in! What do we have to do?"

"Let's see who can eat the most samosas in five minutes," Mr.Verma declared, grinning widely.
