After coming out of the cafe leaning towards her Vespa, Krithika started thinking deeply about the earlier conversation which made her pretty sad. Although they were not the best of friends, she considered them as someone who understood her. But still even after two years of their so-called friendship, the fact that they are so unruly despite her closeness with them in class,it could be seen clearly that they like to tease or mock her very much.
Her weird bench-mate of two years is seriously much better than these people. Although she doesn't like speaking, she is rather calm and straightforward with her words, which is what she herself likes the most in other people. Her phone started ringing cutting off her thoughts, seeing the caller id made her smile.
"Mom I in the supermarket.....yeah...I know....hmm.....I have the list ...okay bye mom" the call reminding her about the grocery shopping,krithika made her way towards the mart.
At Krithika's house
Parking her Vespa in the garage with her hands full of the bags, she made her way towards the door. Entering the door, Krithika ran towards the couch with her hands still full and collapsed on the couch just like that. Seeing her breathing heavily, her mother starting scolding her with a scowl on her face as snatched the bags from her " Girl you're so weak. How can you collapse just by carrying these two light bags into the house from the garage which are just a few steps away tch tch ".
Cutting off her mother who was standing straight while carrying bags " My daughter is not weak. Look, even you're bending while carrying those bags " said Krithika's father while patting Krithika's head with a big smile to which Krithika nodded her head with a pout.
Sensing her mother glaring at the father and daughter duo, Krithika signaled her father about a change of topic. To which her father gladly came up with an excuse of 'We are getting late. We need to move in 10 min, did you forget?' causing her mother to completely forget about scolding them and went to the kitchen.
Confused with her father's excuse, she looked at him for an explanation. Seeing his daughter's cute face, pinching her two cheeks her father said
"Your sister is coming today, she called just now. We need to hurry ". Her eyes were wide with happiness at the mention of her sister whom she loves a lot. Ignoring her father's pinching, she hurried him for getting late. Just then, a soft voice came from the front door.
" No need little stupid, I am already here. " Dropping the bag at the door, her sister Naina ran towards her little sister and father and caught them off guard with the hug to which the latter was surprised but recovered quickly and pushed her sister saying she stunk of sweat.
Naina said with a scowl pointing at them " You are heartless. How can you do this to me, I even bought gifts for you ."
"Big idiot, we know that you suck at selecting gifts so we don't care about the gifts," said Krithika with a teasing smile. By the expression of her sister's face, she knows that she successfully made her sister mad. Ahhhh!!! She just loves making her sister mad….hehe
"What if the gifts are selected by me?" came a manly voice. The owner of the voice spoke while picking up the bag thrown by Naina. He came straight to Krithika while patting her head he said
" How are you, little sis? Do I need to clear any mess ? "said Rohan with a soft expression.
Rohan is Krithika's brother in law, before that he was her stranger friend who helped her in fighting someone. The relation between Rohan and Naina was first a shock to Krithika but later because of benefits she is getting by that, she started showing them her support and personally she likes Rohan and his family who are just like her family and they adore Krithika and Naina so much, which is rather envious to look at.
"Then, we want the gifts. Dude, you're best at choosing them and thank you for your concern I didn't create any mess and don't want to in any future, " Krithika said while hugging him from the side with a smile. Seeing that his daughter is acting cute with others, Krithika's father dragged her to his side while eyeing his future son in law whom he reluctantly accepted because of his daughter.
"Why are you here?" said Krithika's father in a stern tone. Well, his soft side is only to his daughters and his lovely grumpy wife. Others, he doesn't care about them until there is a use with them. At first, he didn't think that his headstrong daughter would fall in love with someone, but later when he met Rohan who is as cold as ice he thought their love makes sense. As stubborn and as headstrong his daughter is, her choice of love is rather very patient and calm with her which made him accept their love.
Keeping the luggage to the side, with an arm on Naina's waist "Father in law, your daughter agreed to marry me and I want to marry her as soon as possible " Rohan said while grinning ear to ear, this being a rare sight to anyone who knows about him.
Listening to this, everyone around them stood stupefied on the spot except Naina who was prepared for this. The first to recover was Krithika's mom, who was listening to them from the kitchen, she ran towards them excitedly while hugging her daughter and son in law.
Naina who was hugged by her mom happily got speechless by her next words.
