Chapter 17- shifting and teasing

Returning home from their transformative journey in London, Virat and Sai were enveloped in a warm embrace as they stepped through the door of their family home. The air was filled with an atmosphere of joy and excitement, tinged with pride for Sai's accomplishments.

Ashwini, Sai's mother-in-law, had spared no effort in preparing a feast fit for a celebration. The aroma of Sai's favorite dishes filled the air, inviting them to partake in the bounty of love and appreciation that awaited them.

"Ninad, look at our daughter-in-law," Ashwini exclaimed, her eyes shining with pride as she enveloped Sai in a tight embrace. "You've made us all so proud, Sai."

Ninad, Sai's father-in-law, nodded in agreement, a smile of genuine happiness gracing his lips. "Indeed, Sai. Your success in London is a testament to your hard work and dedication."

Ashwini enveloped Sai in a tight embrace, Sai felt an overwhelming sense of love and acceptance wash over her. "Thank you, Mom," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "And thank you, Dad. Your support means everything to me."

Her words brought tears to Ashwini's eyes as she held Sai close, feeling the bond between them grow even stronger. "You'll always be a part of our family, Sai," she said, her voice filled with warmth and affection.

Ninad placed a hand on Sai's shoulder, his smile reflecting the pride he felt in his daughter-in-law. "You've proven yourself to be a worthy addition to our family, Sai," he said, his voice tinged with emotion. "We couldn't be happier to have you as our daughter."

Sai's heart swelled with gratitude as she looked around at the faces of her loved ones, each one radiating with pride and love. In that moment, she knew that she was exactly where she belonged, surrounded by the people who cherished her most.

Sai's own parents, Alka and Kamal Joshi, arrived shortly after, their faces beaming with pride as they hugged their daughter. "We've heard so much about your achievements, Sai," Alka said, her voice filled with emotion. "We couldn't be happier for you."

Kamal nodded, his eyes glistening with pride. "You've always made us proud, beta. Your success in London is just the beginning of great things to come."

Sai felt a swell of gratitude wash over her as she basked in the love and support of her family. "Thank you, Ma, Papa," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I couldn't have done it without your love and encouragement."

As they gathered around the table to share a meal together, the room was filled with laughter and chatter, a celebration of Sai's accomplishments and the love that bound them all together. It was a moment of pure joy and gratitude, a testament to the power of family and the strength of their collective love.

Virat cleared his throat, his expression serious yet filled with warmth as he addressed the family. "I want Sai to move in with me," he announced, his voice steady and unwavering. "We love each other deeply, and we want to take the next step in our relationship by living together like a normal couple."

The room fell silent for a moment as everyone absorbed Virat's words. Ashwini's eyes welled up with tears of joy, her heart overflowing with happiness for the young couple. "Oh, Virat," she exclaimed, her voice choked with emotion. "That's wonderful news!"

Ninad nodded in agreement, a proud smile spreading across his face. "You've both shown maturity and commitment beyond your years," he said, his voice filled with admiration. "We couldn't be happier for you that you find love."

Devi, always quick to seize an opportunity for humor, couldn't resist adding her own spicy twist to the conversation.

"Well, well, looks like we have some lovebirds in our midst," she declared, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "So, when's the big move to Virat's room happening?"
