Two months passed; Kushi tried a lot to make her parents agree but she couldn’t do it. But one day, her parents gave her a solution but it is a tough one.

Kushi’s father: Kushi, okay fine. You can marry him. He loves you, right? then he has to change into our religion. If he did, then we can accept him.

Kushi’s Mom: No, how can you accept that boy.

Kushi couldn’t understand what they were demanding.

Kushi: Papa, what are you saying?

Kushi’s Father: Didn’t you hear? I sa…

Kushi: How can you say like that? Don’t you have heart? What did I do? Loving a person is a sin?

Kushi’s mom: How can you speak against your father?

Kushi: Maa, stop it. I can’…

Arnav: I can.

All the three of them turned towards the door and was shocked to see Arnav standing there.

Kushi: Arnav?

Kushi was flowing in happiness seeing her love after two long months.

Arnav smiled at her gracefully.

Kushi: Arnav, you didn’t tell me anything?

Kushi’s mom: You were speaking with him? I told you not to.

Kushi: Maa, please.

Arnav: I will change my religion, uncle.

Kushi’s father frowned at his answer.
Kushi: Arnav, no you can’t. This is not fair.

Arnav: I will because I love you.

Hearing this, Kushi’s parent got angered.

Kushi’s mom: Arnavbb.

Arnav: Aunty, you all know how much we love each other then why shouldn’t I say ‘I love you’? And also, I said I can change my religion. But I am very happy that she too could change into my religion.

All were confused.

Kushi’s dad: What are you saying?

Arnav: That’s what you said. I love her and so, I have to change into your religion. And she too loves me and she too has to change, right?

Kushi’s dad: No, she won’t.

Arnav: That’s not fair uncle. We love each other and so, the condition must be for both.

Kushi’s mom: Kushi, see how is he behaving. He is asking you to change into his religion.

Kushi: Why not, mom? You asked and he agreed and won’t I agree?

Even Arnav was shocked to hear this.

Arnav: See, even your daughter loves me so much. Now can we marry?

Kushi’s dad: No, you can’t Kushi. You will marry but not this man. You are going overboard.

Arnav: Uncle, you proved that I love your daughter more than you.

Kushi’s dad: No. You can leave the house.

Kushi was crying. She didn’t know how to handle the situation.

Kushi’s mom: We love our daughter more than anyone else.

Arnav: If you love her, then why don’t you fulfil her happiness?
Both were silent.

Arnav: Aunty, uncle, I didn’t come here hoping for a movie scene. I frankly came to ask you uncle; will you accept our love? I know it’s hard uncle. But I truly love your daughter.
