Mohabbatein only love

Part 17

Author POV:

"Bua, you know you can ask me anything directly instead of indirectly," Abhimanyu said.

"Yes, that's why I asked, you. She's sweet, isn't she?"

"Yes, she is very sweet," Abhimanyu replied with a smile.

"Come, let's sit," Priyanka said, and they settled on the sofa.

"What are you thinking about?" Priyanka asked. 

Without responding, he laid his head on Priyanka's lap, and she began to stroke his hair gently with her fingers.

"I don't know, Aunt," I'm just feeling... Abhimanyu began but stopped.

"Jealous, right?" Priyanka interjected, finishing his sentence with a smile.

"I really can't understand. When I saw him hugging Ananya, especially when he was calling her 'baby girl', I just wanted to go and punch him," Abhimanyu admitted, gritting his teeth.

He waited for Priyanka's reply, but instead of speaking, she just smiled.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Abhimanyu asked, rising from her lap and sitting up straight.

Because I'm really happy to see you, Abhi. You always said that you didn't need anyone, that you were content with just your family and friends. Bhabhi used to worry about you because you insisted you wouldn't meet any girl for marriage purposes. But I told her that one day, our Abhi would fall in love, and it would be different. Look, today we're talking about your love," Priyanka said, becoming emotional.

"Arre Bua, why are you getting emotional?" Abhimanyu asked, giving her a side hug.

"I'm not crying; I'm just happy that my child has finally found his better half."

"Bua, stop saying 'better half' as if it's confirmed," Abhimanyu interjected.

"Then make it confirmed. Stop overthinking, especially about Ananya and Mahir. They're just best friends, nothing more. Don't let these misunderstandings arise; they always weaken relationships," Priyanka said with a sad expression.

"Bua, are you okay?" Abhimanyu asked, placing his hand on hers.

"Yes, my child, don't worry about me. Just think about you and Ananya," Priyanka assured him, placing her other hand on his.

"But who told you about us? Did Shouraya, Sahil, and Varun say anything?" Abhimanyu asked.

"No, no, those three monkeys never say anything, especially when it's about you," Priyanka said, rolling her eyes, and Abhimanyu laughed.

"So how did you find out, Bua? I just knew by seeing you both. The way you look at her and how your eyes always search for her, it clearly shows how much you're in love. And it's not just love; it's care and respect too, just like my brothers have for my Bhabhi's."

"And it's not just you; Ananya also loves you a lot. The way she looks at you and behaves with you, it really shows she loves you."

"She is such a pure soul. I've heard so much about her from all of you, especially praises."

"But when I met her today, I was really happy that you love her. She is such a pure soul, child, so don't lose her. Stop thinking too much now, take her on dates, spend time with her, and make your relationship permanent," Priyanka said with a smile.

"And if you tell everyone in the family that you like her and especially love her, they won't hesitate for a moment and will go to her family with Shagun and make your wedding date fix, because everyone loves Ananya so much," Priyanka said, laughing.
