Kyun - Chapter 10
"When are you and Sakshham getting married?" Lata repeated.
Priyanca and Sakshham gave each other awkward looks, and Priyanca motioned for him to say something.
"Mom, we're not getting married. We're just good friends. What made you think we were getting married?" Sakshham asked.
"Well beta, the way you invited her over to meet us personally, I thought you two might be... But I must say, Priyanca is a fine girl, and I would love her as the daughter-in-law of this house." Lata said with an embarrased smile.
"Oh Mom!" Sakshham said, rolling his eyes.
Priyanca and Sakshham glanced at each other, and their eyes met. But why? Were they really in love, or were they just good friends?
"Look at how they're eyeing each other - anybody would say they're in love." Abhinav said laughing.
"Nahiin Dadu, there's nothing like that between us. We're just good friends." Priyanca said with a smile.
"Really? The way you two have been meeting for lunch everyday, spending time with each other, having coffee together - anybody would say there's something between you two. Alas, you two probably haven't realized it will. When the time comes, you both will be so madly in love, you'll be screaming the fact from the top of London's highest building." Abhinav said with a chuckle.
"Excuse Me." Priyanca said, quietly pacing towards the bathroom.
Priyanca quickly opened and closed the door. "IS there something between us? I mean we're just good friends, right? But then again, the way we spend time together, and look forward to seeing each other..."
"Priyanca Beti, are you alright?" ... It was Lata.
"Umm yeah, I'm fine." Priyanca said, flushing the empty toilet.
Priyanca opened the door and went back out to the dining table.
"I have to go now - it's getting late. There's classes tomorrow anyways, so I should get a move on." Priyanca said with a nervous smile.
Priyanca said her good-byes to everyone, and Sakshham went to go drop Priyanca off. The two sat down into the car and put their seatbelts on. The car ride was long, and awkward, until Sakshham broke the silence.
"What Dadu and Mom were saying... You don't think there's anything between us, is there?" Sakshham asked curiously.
"Well, I dunno. I mean..." Priyanca said.
"Do you think we should give it a try?" Sakshham asked.
"Give what a try?" Priyanca asked naively.
"You know...' Sakshham said.
"No, I don't know..." Priyanca said.
"Go on a date sometime!" Sakshham blurted out impatiently.
"What? A Date...? You mean you and me, together, alone..." Priyanca said.
"Yup, on a date." Sakshham said with a smile.
"Well I..." Priyanca said.
"Well I think it's a great idea. That way we can see if Mom and Dadu were right... You know."
"Well..." Priyanca said, unsure of what to say.
"How about Friday night? Or if that doesn't work, we can do it do it another day... As long as your comfortable with it..." Sakshham said.
"Fine. It's a date." Priyanca said with a straight face, doing her best to hide all the shock and happinness without displaying it on her face.
