19 Dates

Chapter 14

Dev, "hey dad, all good?"

Mr. Sinha, "yes son, everything is perfect, I felt like talking to you so just called up."

Dev, "love you dad, in fact I was about to call you, I had to share something with you."

Mr. Sinha, "yes go on son tell me."

Dev, "you know dad, me going on date & all of this is really working out great for Shalini's relationship. Her boyfriend Neeraj came to receive me at the airport & then surprisingly took me & Shalini on a lunch treat. Shalini was very happy dad, so I want to do this dating thing for her."

Mr. Sinha, "for whatever reason may be but I am very happy to that you have decided to not be single anymore but son let me tell you one important thing, that girl you went on a date with. I am forgetting her name."

Dev, "Parvati?"

Mr. Sinha, "yes. Your behaviour with her was very rude & bad. You definitely owe her an apology for judging her."

Dev, "yeah I guess I do but then I tried connecting with her she has unmatched me & also blocked my number."

Mr. Sinha, "no wonder, of course she has. You do whatever it takes but go & say sorry to her & do tell me when you do this."

Dev, "cool dad I will do that."

Mr. Sinha, "remember son, always respect girls, don't judge & learn from them for their patience & sense of behaviour is in many ways greater then men, so learn from them by respecting their choice of lifestyle even when it is different then yours & your beliefs."

Dev, "you say such amazing things, you always leave me speechless. I am blessed to be your son."

Mr. Sinha, "so am I to be your father, now enough of this emotional s#&t, go & get yourself a girlfriend (laughing)."

Dev, "what am I suppose to say."

Mr. Sinha, "nothing. For all these years I was thinking may be, just may be there is a possibility that my son is not straight (laughing louder)."

Dev, "seriously dad? (laughing)

Mr. Sinha, "kidding son, good talk, will call you soon."

As Dev's conversation with his father got over, he got back to his conversation with Kriti but looked like she had gone offline. He was really looking forward to meet her & he left her a message to check if there was a possibility to meet tomorrow for lunch.
