407 Marriage talks 3

Brahmini rushed into her bathroom, after brushing her teeth and washing up, she put on a pale green chudidhar. She did a little make up and went back to the living room.

She saw her man sitting elegantly in the sofa with her parents but she should sense the tension from him.

She went and sat beside her father silently listening to her man. He explained them why he had to leave his previous job and also about his parents and his hobbies and such things.

After that Savitha asked her daughter to bring tea and some snacks for all of them. Brahmini stood up and walked into the kitchen without any complaint even though she didn't want to.

Savitha said to Naveen "Well, let me clear one thing first. We are not against your relationship with our daughter and we indeed like you."

Vijay said with a nod "I am about to retire from my job and have only one year of service left. We were planning to get out daughter married before that and we are searching for a suitable groom for her for a while now"

Naveen panicked when he heard this. Vijay continued "My wife told me about you yesterday and as we already told you we like you and we respect our daughter's decision and choice".

Savitha said "So if you are really sincere about this relationship, we are proposing this marriage".

Naveen was completely at a loss of words and just in time Brahmini came back with a tray in her hands. She heard the last sentence and stood frozen in her place.

Naveen looked at her and seeing her in shock like that, he smiled at her assuringly. Vijay asked his daughter "Put the tray on the table and come sit beside me".

Everyone took the glass and Savitha asked Naveen "Do your parents know about this ?" and the man said "My mom kind of know before but I told her everything today including visiting here and she is okay with it and as for dad, I guess he would have already heard everything till now from mom".

Vijay said "You are almost thirty now and I think your parents also have the same opinion. So it's up to you now. I think you should talk to your parents".

Brahmini whined "Dad, but I am only twenty okay and I am not ready to get married yet".

Vijay smiled at his daughter and explained "You don't know the worries of a father dear. We aren't against your love nor putting pressure on you guys. We are just asking for some commitment".

Naveen hesitated for a while and sat silent. He thought for a while right infront of them making Brahmini extra nervous.

He then stood up abruptly and said "Let me talk to my mom aunty. I will be back in ten minutes."

Savitha wanted to tell him to think for a while, discuss it with his parents, take his own time before answering them, but he merely asked for five minutes.

Exactly after ten minutes he came back and sat on the chair in which he was seated earlier.

He looked at Brahmini and then at her mother and said "I understood what you are worried about aunty and you need not worry.

I spoke with mom and told her everything and she already informed my father. It seems like he was also okay with it."

A bright smile appeared on Brahmini's face and Naveen said to her mother "Aunty, mom wants to talk with you".

Brahmini's mother smiled and said with a nod "Give me her number, I will talk with her later" and Naveen immediately sent his mother's contact to Brahmini.

He said standing up "Aunty, I have sent the contact to her and feel fre to ask her anything. I will take my leave now aunty, I have got some work to do at Malhotras'".

With that he left the place after bidding them "Bye" in a hurry even though they asked him to join the breakfast. He rushed out as he has to accompany elder Malhotra to airport later.

He calmed down and breathed in relef as soon as he went to his bike. Brahmini came out to send him off. She looked happy with a bright smile and seeing that smile he thought "It was worth everything." He kissed in her forehead and said "I have to leave now."
