Armaan stopped the car in front of Janani's house. He decided he would drive himself for
this weekend trip.
Khanna was asked to follow them keeping a distance and he didn't want to alarm Janani's
parents by the fact that he always has a bodyguard around him.
Janani got down the car with the two energetic kids and Armaan followed them to the door.
Sharadha Trivedi opened the door and shreiked excitedly seeing her daughter and little Advi.
Harshvardhan Trivedi who heard his wife came out to greet them.
Ava who was all excited to meet her new grandparents became suddenly shy and insecure
when she saw them and hid herself behind Armaan's legs.
"Ava baby. Come and meet Nana-Nani" Janani called her in an encouraging tone but Ava
pressed herself more against Armaan.
Armaan hoped Janani's parents would accept Ava and love her just like they love Advi.
Sharadha Trivedi crouched down in front of the little girl.
"I had made some cookies for little Ava. Now who will eat them if she is hiding behind her
papa??" Sharadha asked with a finger on her chin
"Cookies for me??" Ava asked peeking from behind Armaan's legs.
"Only if you give nani a cuddle" Sharadha said and Ava tentatively came out of her hiding
place and walked towards Sharadha's outstretched arms and was immediately engulfed in
the warmth relieving the kid of any insecurity she felt.
"Will you do all the greetings at the doorstep, Sharadha. Let them come in first'' Harsh told
his wife who in the excitement of meeting her daughter after so long forgot to invite them in.
After the initial greeting along with coffee and snack Armaan took a deep breath and looked
at Janani's parents.
"I would like to talk about something important to you both." He said and the elderly couple
looked at each other with a slight frown.
"Sure" Harsh Trivedi said and guided him to the backyard along with his wife
"Yes Armaam?? What is it that you wanted to talk about??" Harsh Trivedi asked
"I would like to ask your daughter's hand in marriage uncle." Armaan said and Sharadha
Trivedi gasped in surprise
"Marriage?? But she is..!! Vikram!! Harsh ji??" Sharadha was lost for words at the sudden
marriage proposal
"I understand you are surprised with my sudden proposal. And I don't expect an immediate
response too.I will wait for your decision" Armaan said politely
"She was engaged once" Harshvardhan Trivedi said
"Janani had already told me about it." Armaan informed wondering when he will finally get rid
of Vikram.
"We were hoping they would get married" Sharadha said uncomfortably and Armaan had to
bite his tongue to stop himself from telling them that their precious Vikram is a lying cheating
basta*d. But he couldn't.
If Janani had kept the truth from them then there must be a reason for it and he will not
break her trust by blurting out the truth now
"I request you to talk to Janani about it aunty" Armaan
