Whispers of Romance

"Family Bonds and Wedding Plans"

Vikram entered his room with a measured stride, the weight of his presence commanding attention. As he settled onto the couch, a quiet authority emanated from him, compelling Viyansh and Vihaan to stand before him like obedient children awaiting his words.

Vikram: "Is it just Viyansh, or did you also take out your anger, Vihaan?"

Vihaan: "I was the first one to do so."

Vihaan spoke with a hint of pride, prompting Viyansh to nudge his arm, causing Vihaan to fall silent.

Vikram: "Kya zarurat thi?"
(What was the need?)

Viyansh: "Come on, Papa, you know why we did this. We've learned from the best."

Vikram: "Shut up and don't blame me."

Vihaan: "Relax papa kuch nahi hoga, and anyways we know what you have done to the person who tried to act fresh with mumma, aur phir yaha toh usne dahi ko goli hi maar di hai."
(Relax, Dad. Nothing will happen, and anyways, we know what you did to the person who tried to act fresh with Mumma. And here, he shot Vaidehi.)

Viyansh: "Exactly papa, aise hi koi bhi aake meri biwi ko goli maar dega aur main chup rahu?? Aisa kabhi nahi hoga."

(Exactly, Dad. Should I stay silent while someone shoots my wife? That will never happen.)

Vikram rose from his seat and approached them. Standing before the two, he gently placed a hand on each of their shoulders. With a sincere and steady gaze, he began to speak, his voice carrying both reassurance and determination.

Vikram: "I am proud of you both."

Both stared at their father in shock, their eyes wide and their expressions a mix of surprise and confusion.

Vihaan: "Aap naraz nahi hai??"
(You are not angry?)

Vikram: "Naraz kyu?? I know inside the court you will win the case, but koi humari ladoo ko kidnap kare, shoot kare aur hum use aise hi chod de, bilkul nahi."
(Angry? Why? I know you'll win the case in court, but should we let someone who kidnapped and shot our Ladoo go free? Absolutely not.)

The trio exchanged knowing smirks, a silent understanding passing between them.

Viyansh: "Don't worry, Papa. We'll make sure he regrets his actions for his entire life."

Vikram: "Yeah, just make sure Viraj and Virat don't get involved in these things, especially now. They are still young."

Viyansh: "Don't worry, we'll never let them do any such things. We both are there for them."

Vikram: "Ok let's go for the dinner, aaj kha le Vihaan kal toh ladoo Teri Jaan khayegi, kya pata Vanshika use pasand aaye na aye."
(Okay, let's go for dinner. Eat today, Vihaan, because tomorrow, Ladoo will eat you alive. Who knows if she'll even like Vanshika.)

Viyansh: "Biwi ka toh chodo papa usne mujhe ye jo 5 saal se dating ki baat nahi batayi hai uski khabar toh main alag se lunga. Matlab bhai bachelor tha aur ye bhaisahab date kar rahe the vo bhi 21 ki Umar me."
(Forget about my wife, Papa. I'm going to have a separate word with Vihaan for not telling me he's been dating for five years. I mean, I thought he was a bachelor while he was dating at 21.)

Vihaan: "Bhai aapko date karna tha?? Abhi jaake ye dahi ko batau kya??"
(Brother, did you want to date? Should I go and tell Vaidehi now?)

Viyansh: 'Areee Mera Ghar todwayega kya?"
( Are you trying to break my home?)

Vikram: "Dekh toh lo kiske samne kya baat kar rahe ho."
(Watch what you say and who you say it to.)

Vihaan: "Chill papa, humne aapko mumma ke sath romance karte dekha phir ye kya hai."
(We’ve seen you romancing Mumma; this is nothing.)
