In A Parallel World:Parallel Professions

Preface

"Papa, I ..want to ask you something." Trivita hesitated.

Dhruvansh adjusted his spectacles and averted his gaze from the laptop screen. 

"Haan Beta,bolo" he spoke and gave her a cheerful smile.

"Papa, I want 1.5 Lakhs." she hesitated.

Dhruvansh furrowed his eyebrows.

"Only?" he asked her

"Huh?" Now it was Trivita's turn to furrow her eyebrows.

"1.5 Lakhs Only?" he clarified.

"uh..yeah." she replied awkwardly while playing with the hem of her kurti.

*laughs* "Beta.." *laughs* "Tumhara Baap Ameer hai, jo chahiye woh khul ke maango." *laughs* Dhurvansh replied while laughing his heart out. He was surprised that his daughter asked such a less amount.

"Trivi, your mom and I didn't work hard for nothing. Now, sit here ..." he patted to the place beside him. 

" And tell me what you want?  Mustang, Range Rover, Harley Davidson or those christian louboutins that you've loved since you were 6?"

(A/N : Meanwhile Middle-Class Author crying in the corner)

"Papaaaaaa" she whined

"Whatttt?" he replied back matching her energy.

"Papa, I don't want all that. I just wanted money for fee for the online BTech program I have registered for..."

"WHAT THE HELL!" he cut her off by shouting on top of his lungs. She flinched and moved away. She has never seen her father that angry.

"Offo what's all this noise? I'm shooting a reel, can't y'all keep quiet for a while? Maya rolled her eyes at her husband and daughter as she walked down the stairs. She was not sure about what happened that had stirred so much chaos and made her ever so ever-so-calm husband lose his temper.

"Isn't your studio sound-proof?" he narrowed his eyes at his wife.

"YES, but I wanted a change in the background. Is that a crime?" she glared at him.

Her one glare and he shut up. He gulped " No..wifey, absolutely not!"

To which she sheepishly smiled, just before changing her expression back to a serious one.

"Now, back to my question.  What's all this chaos about? Tell me quickly, I also have to do a livestream after shooting my reel. My fans are waiting for me."

"Why don't you ask your darling daughter yourself."

"Ay, don't say anything to my rani bitiya. Trivita baby, what happened? why is papa mad at you?" 

"Mom, I don't want to be a content creator. I have applied for an online BTech program. And I was just asking papa for the fee and he is straight up refusing and is yelling at me. " 

Maya froze hearing her daughter's words.

Just then Ayush- Trivita's younger brother, munching popcorn while occasionally, licking his fingers, plopped down on the counch beside his father. He was grinning ear-to-ear and was waiting for the drama to unfold . He then took out his phone and played this bgm:

Maya came back to her senses after hearing this audio. 

"Ayush CHUP! GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM." 

"As you say, Mom " he answered innocently and headed towards his room but before that, he flicked his sister's forehead and muttered "loser" and then scurried off to his room.
