After some time, me, Shreyas, Ragini, and Abhishek started for Mumbai. Divya was nervous. Earlier she called her father and told him about Shreyas and trip to Mumbai. At first, her dad was not okay with this but later he talked with Shreyas and Ragini. Somehow, they convinced her dad to not take any tension and they will update about it.
Yug was happy and he was also planning to watch the match from the VIP section. Divya was excited and nervous too as she knew this media can write any rubbish. She has asked Shrestha to accompany her as well. She was preparing herself to see the Indian cricket team and how to respond. Shreyas was telling her not to take much tension but being a Cricket fan, she could not help but feel happiness, excitement, butterflies, etc.
They stopped on the Pune-Mumbai highway, had coffee and wadapav as Ragini was feeling hungry. After 3 hrs of the journey, they reached Mumbai. Now Divya was more nervous than before, her hands were literally shaking. She wanted all of the Shreyas's family to like her. She couldn't help but think what if they don't like her.
Shreyas: Let's go Divya.
Shreyas hold her hand and gave an encouraging smile to her. Divya smiled and nodded.
Uncle opens the door and Divya stayed on the door like a statue. Shreyas and his dad were talking and Divya was still shocked. After some time Ragini shook her and she came back to the present. Aunty also came there.
Divya: Namaste Aunty, uncle.
Aunty: Come inside. How's your journey.
Divya: Journey was good. How are you and where is Shrestha?
Aunty: I am good. Shrestha will be here in 10 min, in a parking lot.
Divya: Okay
Aunty: Shreyas all okay? Kaisa raha tour?
Shreyas: By your blessing, all good maa and all will be good as well. Tour ka toh aapko pata hi hai...kal match dekhne aao ...kal yahi hai match.
Aunty: hmm dekhte hai ..so kya status hai ? Papa ko bataya ya nahi
Shreyas: Batata hu ..shrestha ko aane do..nahi toh maar dalegi mujhe
Divya was seating silently and was praying to go all well. Shrestha came in after 10 mins.
Shrestha: hey bhaiya !!! kab aaye? ohh hi Divya....
Shreyas: Just abhi aaye ..were waiting for you only.
Shrestha: okay. Let's go.
Shreyas: Come Divya.
Shrestha, Shreyas, Divya and Aunty went to uncle's room to talk.
Shreyas: Hi Dad, can we come in?
Uncle: Yes please come ... All together? Did anything happen?
Shreyas: All is good papa. I wanted to inform something to you, so we all came. Papa, I love Divya and we are dating now. I wanted to tell you all this face to face only. I really love her and she also loves me.
Uncle did not say anything.
Divya: I really love him for a very long time. Please say something...
Uncle: "from when this is going on? And you guys already knew it? " by looking at aunty and Shrestha.
Aunty and Shrestha noded. Shrestha came forward and took her dad's hands in her and said.
"Papa Divya is good for him. She can handle him very well and she is everything we wanted for in his partner. And Bhaiyu loves her. He truly loves her and you saw his condition in this tour right... So please say yes to them"
Aunty: ha -ha .. Too much drama !! I can't handle more. Sorry guys he knows everything and he is okay with you.
Shreyas: Papa ...looks at her she is frightened. But thank you anyway.
Uncle: Come here Divya-Shreyas.
Shreyas and Divya went there and Shreyas hugged his father.
Uncle: Come here, dear.
After chatting for sometime uncle said to Divya " Divya hope you are okay with social media as if you guys declare this is we go out of hand? Is your family aware?"
Divya: I am still not okay with social media and I think I will be ready in the future. I know I can't avoid it. Give me some time will try to come soon from this fear. And dad knows. We are not looking to declare it publicly. I hope you understand.
Shreyas: Papa she is working in the private sector, so let's keep it private and only close members.
Uncle: okay as per your wish. I really hope your dad is okay with Shreyas being a cricketer.
Shreyas: He is still not okay with it all. He thinks I am doing time pass or some publicity stunt and he also scolded me.
Uncle: ha ha I already liked him. Good start... Let's have some snacks.
