If it is Mallika's POV then the italics mean the convo is in Hindi but if its Ten's POV then it is Thai..

Hope this chapter is good enough coz after this the final drama would begin.

MALLIKA'S POV

"Please don't create a scene when we meet them." I said to my parents. We are supposed to meet Ten's family today. They arrived in the morning and we planned to have a dinner together so that our parents could know each other.

"Swadee Kha." I greeted Ten's parents. But instead of them 'my' parents got surprised. They gasped a little and turned to me.

"Meri beti kahan hain? (Where is my daughter?)" Papa asked dramatically.

I then noticed a person next to his parents saying something to them as they nodded understandingly.

"He is the translator for tonight." Ten whispered to me. He placed his hand on my lower back motioning me to sit.
"Main vada karta hu ki main apne knowledge ke according jitna accurately ho sakta h translate krunga. (I promise to translate accurately to the best of my knowledge.)" The translator said the moment we all comfortably sat down.

Mrs. Leechiy-  I'll go with aunty. So aunty smiled to me and said something.

Translator: You are beautiful.

I smiled back. Their presence and aura is so warm and caring.

"Tu muskara rahi hain? (Are you smiling?)" But before the translator could translate it, mummy stopped him immediately.

"Har cheez batane ki zarurat nahi h. (You don't have to translate everythinng.)" He nodded.

"Aap logon ko main ghar jaake dekhti hu. (I'll deal with you guys at home.)" I gritted through my teeth and smiled forcefully.

Why are they trying to annoy me?! They better brace themselves for later because I'm not going to let this slide.

"So Ten.." papa started.

"Yes sir." He quickly sat straight and turned to him. "Relax." I mouthed to him and gently tapped his thigh. We were sitting next to each other while our parents sat oppposite to one another. Also the translator was opposite to us.

"Do you really like my daughter?" He asked sternly. "Yes sir."

"Will you keep her happy?"

"Yes sir!"

"You will always support her?"

"Yes sir!"

"Will you be there for her when she needs you?"

"Yes sir!"

"Is she a trouble?"

"Yes sir!"

He answered all the questions confi- Wait! What?!

On realising what he said Ten immediately stood up and bowed to my father.

"I am so sorry sir. I didn't mean it. She is not a trouble."

My father adjusted his position and slowly nodded his head as if thinking something.

"So you mean to say that you didn't answer honestly. Right?"

By this time he was sweating hard and was searching for words so as to not to be picked by papa.

I held Ten's hand and made him sit back on his seat. He was a bit reluctant but nevertheless did it.

Then I glared at my father. "Kyu kar rahe ho aap log aisa? Yeh koi mazak nahi h. (Why are you doing this? This is not a joke.)"

"Main to bass- (I was just-)" I didn't let him finish. Standing up I apologised to Ten and his parents, then went to the balcony of the restaraunt.

"Mallika." Ten's strong arms were wrapped around my waist with his chin resting on my right shoulder.

I simply froze at his touch and stayed still. No guy has ever touched me before. No guy.

"Relax Mallika." I continued to not move a muscle. He gently turned me around and cupped my cheeks.

"Your father already apologised. He was just trying to pull my leg nothing more."

"Don't pout." He then pinched my cheeks. "Aah! It hurts." He caressed my cheeks.

"I didn't get to say this before..." he stepped forward and again cupped my cheeks looking straight into my brown orbs.

"You look beautiful tonight."

TEN'S POV

"Everything is fine. Don't worry." I told my parents. Mallika's father nudged her a little till she gave in and smiled.

After a few more minutes and chit chat our ordered food came and we all began eating. Time to time our parents would start a topic and the conversation would go on.

"Mix it like this." Mallika took the spoon from my hand and mixed the contents properly.

"Aa~" I opened my mouth for her to feed me. My parents teasingly smiled at me while her parents' jaw dropped.
My eyes went back to the beautiful girl in front of me with a red face and stiff body.

"I'm waiting~"

She immediately shoved the spoon in my mouth and went back to her food. I took her spoon and brought it to her lips.

"Say aa~"

I know she will definitely nag at me later but for now lets enjoy.

She looked around to see our parents' reaction. They quickly snapped their heads to their plates not wanting to make her blush more.

Slowly parting her lips she ate the food.

"Cute." I commented under my breath.

"She seems shy." My mother said and I playfully nodded.

Then Mallika's mother said something to the translator.

"She wants to know some information regarding Ten and your ancestors so that their priest could finalise the date for engagement and wedding."

"We can meet up tomorrow and then I could give you the information." I said to Mallika.

After the dinner we all stood up as I escorted her family to the gates. The restaraunt was connected to the hotel where we're staying at so my parents  already left.

"You guys could walk around if you want." Her father said. I took her to a garden. It was dimly lit.

"Can we meet at Meera's place tomorrow?" She stopped and turned to face me.

"But she would not like it." She stepped forward and held my waist. Lifting her head to meet my gaze she said, "I too want them to get back together but forcing her will bring no good to anyone."

"I will not talk about hyung. I just want to meet the twins. Please." I did puppy eyes. She sighed and looked away.

Things to remember: Puppy eyes work on her.

"Okay. I'll try."

"Gumawayo!" I engulfed her in a bear hug. "Ten you can chill now." She playfully pat my waist for me to let go.
"Can I do one more thing?" I asked.

"What?"

With one swift move I cupped her small face and connected our lips. And once again she froze at my touch. I opened my eyes and pulled away a little to look at her flushed face and wide eyes.

"Te-"

I pulled her in for another kiss.
