"So, did you like my granddaughter?" Gurdas (Shrayn's grandfather) asked, making Ratnawar (Arthur's grandfather) chuckle.
"Yeah, she's such a pure soul," Ratnawar replied with a smile, clearly admiring her.
"Of course, whose granddaughter is she?" Gurdas asked proudly.
"Obviously yours, but she's going to be my daughter-in-law—more like my daughter," Ratnawar said, chuckling.
"Has Arthur said yes or no?" Gurdas asked.
"He'll definitely say yes. And if he doesn’t, we'll make him," Ratnawar said, causing Gurdas to laugh.
"You’ll never change, Ratiii," Gurdas teased, making Ratnawar roll his eyes.
"Of course not, Guriii," Ratnawar replied with a tight-lipped smile, both of them slipping into their old nicknames as they laughed together.
"Fine, well, when are you going to talk to Shrayn about marriage?" Ratnawar asked Gurdas, who sighed instantly. He knew bringing up the topic of marriage to Shrayn was going to be tough. Despite his outward confidence, Gurdas was a little scared of his granddaughter—he was, after all, a frightened kitten when it came to her.
"Waheguru! Waheguru! I’ll talk to her tomorrow," Gurdas said, making Ratnawar shake his head, a knowing smile on his face. He understood why his best friend said that line.

On the other hand:
"Oyeeeeeee, Kinderjoy!" Shrayn shouted, causing Arthur to cringe. He hated the nickname.
"Stop it, Shrayn. My name is Arthur, not ‘Kinderjoy’ or ‘Tinderjoy.’ Shut your mouth up, or I’ll find a way to shut you up!" he said, making her pout as she walked over and stood in front of him.
