From Escape to Embrace

chapter 9 welcome home

Ved took Tanvi into his parents' bedroom.

After greeting the Mittal couple, Tanvi inquired about Mrinal's well-being.

Devansh asked “ Did I hear a gunshot in our house ?”

"Yeah, Dhruv bhai was trying the gun on Ved," Tanvi smiled before Ved could respond.

“What do you mean Dhruv was aiming at him ?” Mrinal worriedly enquired

Tanvi laughed and said, "Yeah, but I think he did not get the target see he is alive."

Mrinal gave the girl a shocked look as she said it, acting as though Dhruv was giving Ved chocolate.

Observing Mrinal's irritated expression, Devansh instructed to lighten the atmosphere.

"Oh, he must be kidding. What did you bring in this bag, Bitiya?

Tanvi looked at the bag and then smacked her head in response to Devansh.

Ooh, sorry, I just forgot to mention that I had prepared this for aunty."

"That is really sweet, but what is it exactly?" Devansh told Tanvi.

"A nutritious vegetable soup …As you recall, I took some soup classes a while back, and I picked up this recipe there that is incredibly healthful.

I will reheat it and bring it to Aunty. Please wait."

Mrinal stared blankly at the casserole before making an unpleasant comment.

“No..it's not needed “

Tanvi stared in disbelief at Mrinal as Devansh handled the situation.

"She means she just had some soup, give it to me and I will put it in the fridge and give it to her later."

"Okay," Tanvi nodded.

Tanvi left for her home after some chit-chat, bidding them goodbye.

After seeing her off, Ved went to his parents' room and complained

"Why did you react this way? She was just trying to help...you must have tasted at least one spoon.

"Yes, so that I could die instantly. Sorry, but I will not give up on my life just to make your girlfriend happy.

Anyway, why the hell did Dhruv shoot at you?"

"Nothing, just mentioned something about his angel, and you know how he reacts."

"Yeah, what are we going to do about his madness?" Devansh commented

"Anyway, Tanvi today did a tarot card reading and declared that he will meet his angel soon."

Mrinal chuckled.

"Yeah...right, if Tanvi predicted this, Dhruv will keep looking for her forever."

"Mom, please do not talk like this about Tanvi; she is such a nice girl."

"Yeah, of course, Tanvi is a nice girl; the hallucination named Angel is also nice.

Devansh, I am telling you that this house is now filled with mentally ill people."

"Relax, Mrinal; everything will be fine soon."

"I wish the same." Mrinal began with a sigh.

While Ved was perplexed as to why his mother is so concerned about this.

At least he and Tanvi are happy!

At airport
