Siddharth's POVWe dropped Shruti at her Tauji's place and went to meet dad. He was relaxing in a guest room and we pushed Maurvi in. He was so pleasantly surprised to see her. We were standing outside the door.
" Wow, my daughter is here to meet me but my duffer younger son has not bothered to come. So sweet of you Princess. But why did you come here?? I was going to come to your home to meet all of you."
" Uncle, I wanted to talk to you regarding something," she said.
" Yes beta?? But first I want to talk about one thing. I don't like being called as uncle by you. " Dad said.
" Sorry, dad !! "
" Don't be sorry sweetie, tell me !! Is everything fine?? Why are you here when my son has come to meet you all the way from Delhi? Did you fight? "
" No, dad !!! I needed to talk to you. "
" Tell me... "
" Dad, you are the coolest person, I know in the whole universe. " Maurvi said with a sheepish smile.
" I know... I am chilled out. " Dad grinned at that.
" Dad, promise me you will hear me out coolly. " She said... I know she was getting nervous.
Dad looked at her with surprise.
" I do... What happened?? " He frowned a bit.
" Dad, if you have to arrange a wedding all of a sudden, how soon can you do it?? " She asked.
" Why are you asking that?? You are getting married in less than 10 days. " He smiled.
" Please tell me!! "
" Maybe a week but it would not be that lavish... Why are you asking? " Dad said.
" Dad, can you arrange one? " she said and narrowed her eyes as she was a bit tensed.
" What?? Why? " He asked with an eyebrow raised.
" It is an emergency... " She tried.
" What is the emergency?? "
" Uncle, please try to understand. "
"I won't even try to understand if you call me that. "
Oh, God !! Be serious. Listen to her.
" Dad, please it is serious... So I forgot it. " Maurvi said.
" Ok tell me... Why do I need to arrange a wedding in a week? " Dad asked.
She gulped visibly.
" How do I explain?? Gautam !!! " she lost her courage and called Bhai.
" He is outside?? " Dad asked.
" Yes "
" Gautam come in!! " Dad called Bhai and he walked in.
" What is the matter?? " Dad asked him.
" Dad... Please do what Maurvi is saying. "
" Why ?? " Dad was serious now. He glared at him.
" Ask Sid !! Sid!! Come and explain. " Bhai said.
" He is also here?? What is going on? Sid, come here!!! " I went inside.
" What are three of you up to?? What is going on?? You sent Maurvi to talk to me, which means it is something big. Tell me !! " He said but three of us kept looking and telling each other to explain. We both were hoping Maurvi to say it. Dad kept looking at us.
