We reached my home safely and walked inside the home.
"Hello Mom and Dad , how are you ?" I hugged them. Then he greeted my mom and dad politely.
"Hello sir , hello ma'am , I think I have started a great career and so we are waiting for your permission to be granted to take next grand step in our relationship. So , can I ask my parents to come to your home ?" he uttered confidently with elegance.
My Mom and Dad looked at us and everything was silent for a minute or two , we were looking to my parents then to eachother hesitantly. At last , my parents boomed out with a big 'Yes'.
"What ? I can't believe it, I love you mom and dad " I got beautifully surprised and jumped out two to three times and then hugged them tightly.
"Thank you so much" he said sincerely with teary eyes. My mom hugged him and said "you have to be my eldest son , okay".
"Yaa , I will try my best to make you proud and never disappoint you" he replied softly. When he was hugging my mom and dad, I could felt the respect he has for my parents in his eyes.
After having lunch together with my parents in my home , I took him with myself to introduce him with my childhood memories.
" Let's start from here" I uttered politely. "Why we have come here ?" he asked surprisingly.
"Ok , this is the playground where I used to practice cricket ".
"Did you just said 'cricket' ?" he wondered. "Yaa".
"Were you a cricketer , you played professionally or just with your friends ? " he questioned quickly.
"Ok , I can say proudly that I was in the team of 'under 19' in the year 2013-15 but then I had to focus on my studies and that time , our society , my parents were not admiring games and sports as a career option , so I had to quit cricket and focused on my studies " I explained him briefly.
"Thank god , you haven't played for our country , because if it would have been happened then there is no chance for me to come into your life " he took a deep breath and said it with a deep smile on his face.
" Varun ?" I gloated at him.
"Yaa , its true my sweetheart , I love you so much " he uttered sweetly.
"Let's move to another place". When we were moving in the car , suddenly I saw something and said "stop ...stop , I have to show you something " I shouted loudly. "What happened?"
"Look there is a house over there , come with me I will explain " I got out of the car and started running towards the house in the opposite side of thr road and he followed me to that place .
"You must be thinking that why have I ran out of the car in this deserted road where there is no one and nothing in this place except this house " I could saw him being little hesitating which was normal as he had no idea where we were.
"This is our old house , my grandma used to stay here as because she loved this house very much , she lived here till she died , my parents had asked her many times to live with us because she was the head of our family after my grandfather but she denied.
When I was a kid , I went school riding a bicycle, so after my school gots over , everyday I used to stay here for hours with my grandma and then return to my home.
Even after her death , my parents didn't sold this house because its a memory of my grandma and this house is locked for years. After her death, though the house was locked but I never went directly to my home . Everytime I went through this road , I stopped here" I disclosed my secret in front of him which I haven't told my parents ever.
"You love your grandmother very much , right ?" he asked emotionally.
"Did you know the real reason, why she didn't wanted ever to leave this house and love this house so much ?"
"I can't even guess "he uttered instantly. "Because it was the place where she fell in love for the first time , it is the place which holds all the memories of my grandfather and this place was the proof of their love , she always said ' it is difficult to live without the person you love but it is more difficult to live without his memories' " I said it with my wet eyes. He hugged me and said " your grandma is totally correct because I had felt this thing in last two months whrn I was apart from you " he uttered lovingly and me more tighter.
"I think , after meting you , I have understood it better. I love you the same way as my grandma loved my grandfather" I uttered intensely with all my emotions.
