🦋 16.3 After Rain ❤ [Part 3]

Scene 1 Ooty

My parents listened to that little impish Girl in amazement. She was looking at me with a mischievous smile on her lips. After an awkward silence I revealed everything. Knowing all, my dad asked me -

"Do you still love her ?"

"Matters not Papa. She had chosen her dream over me."

"DO YOU or NOT ?" Emphasising each word He asked me again.

I replied timorously "Yes, I do."

Scene 2 Pune

With moistured eyes, she said to her mom - "But mom, what if I love him ? He must've been hating me now."

"Girl ! True love never dies. He must be thinking of you, my love !"

"I Don't think mom. I hurt him."

"Daughter ! Trust me, true love never mistakes its fellow."

"Mom please.... !" Tears started shading from her eyes. She gave a despairing little shrug.

Scene 1 Ooty

"So, do you have her contact no ?"
