Many times the sagely advice is given out for other people's children. When your own kid enters the picture, the equation suddenly shifts back to perfection. Only the best will suffice.

Guess the parents want to find that perfect girl for Atty. But they have to realize that he is not perfect either. He has had a failed marriage. He was equally reckless.

The parents were happy enough with a grandchild. He is acceptable but not Mru. He is also a part of Mru. She raised him to be the person he is.

Pramila was the biggest surprise here. We thought she was more open. But it was just a facade.

“Try” said the heart

She lay in bed half asleep reveling in the pleasure of having someone take care of Dhru

How pleasant is this, she snuggled and buried her head into the pillow

He will not listen to her, not agree to turn off the lights, not switch off his video game, not put away his uniform and backpack, everything was a battle, food, bed time, HW, everything

She wondered if he was tired too

She got up and went to the living room they both were playing a video game on TV now

“Are u tired do u want to go to bed?” she asked politely

“Nope… I told him we stop at 11, that’s in another 18 minutes” he smiled

“No “11:07 PM, u said 32 minutes remember”

Mrunalini realized he was irritating Aatreya exactly like he did her

“Dhruuuuu”

Aatreya signaled with a finger on his lips

“Are u tired? He can be very irritating”

“No I am not” he smiled

“I am going to sleep” she warned

“Go on… (nodding)Unless u are looking for company” he muttered

“Clever” she smiled chuckling… walked away

The next morning he was gone with the kid

She got ready quick and left for work

He had even made breakfast for her EGGS!

“YOU eat eggs?” she texted in shock

“I do, but don’t tell my parents”

“Any other secrets?”

“I sleep until 2 PM on Sundays if I can”

“I know that, u told me”

He sent just a smiley

“Thanks for breakfast”

“Sure”

“How was the call with your Baba.”

“Dad sorry”

“I get” smiling

“U sounded afraid”

“I was”

“I am sorry…”

“Thanks”

She left it at that

An hour or so later

“I told him I asked you to marry me… begged you”

“OK” she said

He laughed thru many emojis

“Oh? My reaction?”

“Yes”

“They are not happy are they?”

He stared at it for the longest time, he paced his office, attended two meetings, didn’t know what to even say

“They are my parents they deserve my respect..” erased

“They think they know whats right for me, but I am an adult” erased

“They will have to accept you I chose you” erased

“Both my parents know about the proposal I gave them time to think and accept”

Hit send

“You should not be brutal, you have a good relationship with your parents, unlike me”

“It depends on if you will say yes. Mrunalini!”

“Your family is kind and affectionate. There is no way they will accept me. Maybe you are trying not to hurt my feelings A… but please be honest”

“I AM”

“I don’t want to be the person that destroys your love with your parents”

“Is that a YES for the marriage?” smiley

He had found a note in her kitchen drawer

“Its impossible said pride, its risky said experience, its pointless said reason, give it a try whispered the heart”

“you cannot say you haven’t thought about it” he said

The heart is always the impractical one. It wants what it wants.

Atty did not spell it out but she knows the score. If we go by Atty's words, he is moving forward but giving his parents time.

His sake & hers😭

“I don’t believe our parents” Apirva was livid she called an hour later

“What happened?”

“Ma said “Why don’t you talk to him? “This will not work out for our family”

His heart skipped a beat

It immediately turned to anger

“They want to use you to brainwash me” he muttered

“YOU know them”

“I am just so frustrated”

“Please don’t share this with them… they think you are prone to making mistakes in choosing women”

“U are not saying anything they haven’t told me themselves Apu”

“I am sorry”

“A sudden marriage to a wealthy woman with a prenup, fathering a child now wanting to marry the same woman, none of these things are OK I was told”

“Don’t start a fight OK?” she was fearful

“I cannot stand by and marry some Hebbar Iyengar either”

“Just think through this OK”

“What do u mean”

“Just give it more thought, I don’t want to see any one hurt Attu”

“She hasn’t even accepted my proposal yet”

“She seems so cautious” Apurva let the admiration slip

“She is very timid”

“Our parents don’t deserve her” bitter

“Don’t say that”

“Pa said all the problems with eating, allergies discipline etc the child is facing is because the mother must not have good upbringing”

“WHO told them?”

“I have no idea” “Or as usual they are just speculating”

“I am suspecting someone told them”

“Mendy couldn’t have”

“U are right… unless they quizzed Jaidrith” he was startled

“Oh yeah I forgot about that” Apurva nodded

“I know Amma kept asking him why he doesn’t meet any cousins… she is an only child BTW” cynical

“I know u told me…”

“He told her he doesn’t have any cousins, his mother doesn’t have any parents or cousins”

Aatreya let his mind wander to recollect that incident

“Oooh! S&%$”

“I know”

“I had already told Amma her parents live in Mumbai” “Of course they don’t know the Dad is dating her a woman 30 years younger than him”

“This is all going to be so hard on her”

“I agree”

“For her feelings… just to protect her from their rigid regressive thoughts will you be willing to reconsider?”

“Like I said… she has not accepted my proposal” he was irritated now

“I am sorry”

“I cannot even allay her fears Apu, I have no real solutions or ideas to comfort her, she will be walking into a 19th century home with an added torture of being the wife of a man who couldn’t keep his pants zipped and ended up fatheringa child”

“ATTUU” Apurva was horrified

“I am sorry… they are going to go ham on her for being willing to spend her life with me despite what I did to her, I am the hated one…”

“Don’t say that they are just over protective”

“No they are not… to accuse a woman of being a terrible mother is not OK”

“U know them da…”

“This stress has given me ulcers I think” he growled

“REALLY? Did u go to a doctor?”

“I was only joking” “Half joking” he cringed

“I hope she agrees for ur sake and I hope she declines for her sake” Apurva muttered
