Shock was an understatement for both of them.

Vinay and Sandhya couldn't believe their luck. Nakul went on explaining them while they both attentively listened to him.

"Mr. Vinay, Ma'am. My mother  doesn't have any objection.
I have explained everything on my part but if you both want to ask me anything, you may?" He said lastly.

"Why my daughter?" Vinay queried while Sandhya poked her elbow onto his arm.

"Because I like her and yes you might think, how can I say this when I have met her only once but that's not the truth as I've met her before too." He said truthfully.

"Mr. Vinay. I know she has a job but we can figure it out.."

"That's not a problem as she wants to quit her job anyway. Amrita aspires to study further." Sandhya interrupted him.

"Ma'am, I've no problem with it too. She can do whatever she wants. I'll never step in between her dreams and wouldn't even marry her if she doesn't wish to do." He elucidated while they both nodded.

"Sir, we trust you." Vinay smiled slightly while Nakul bobbed his head.

"We'll talk to Amrita." Sandhya piped in.

"Okay. I'll leave now. I've an important conference to attend." Nakul stood up to leave.

"Sir atleast have something. We can't let you go without."

"No. Thank you ma'am but I must leave. Maybe next time." He replied being a lot more polite.

"We would like to meet Mrs. Suri." Sandhya voiced out.

"Sure. I'll let you know about it." He smiled and left in a jiffy.

"Sandhya. Are we doing the right thing?" Vinay turned to his wife after he was gone.

"Vinay. This is the only solution to all our problems." She stated.

"What about Amrita? Will she agree on this?" He asked her out in concern.

"She has to. She has no other alternative."

------------------------------

Meanwhile Amrita's day was a lot more worst than she ever thought.
She just wished to quit this job and focus on her studies but then the loan she had applied for was a big hurdle.
What about it?
Although that's another major problem she had to deal with as it had already gotten delayed.

She couldn't even expect anything from her parents.
They won't be supporting her financially especially for Ambar then what should she do?

The only way she knew was to make a call. Maybe he might help her. It has been quite a long time since she had met him or rather talked to him.

Removing the cell phone, she quickly dialed his number. The call got connected but she received no answer. She tried calling for umpteenth number of time but failed. Having no other option, she left him a message hoping that he would call her.

What bad can more happen?

As she reached the doorstep of her house, her phone started ringing.

Hoping it to be his call, she answered it immediately without caring to look at the name on the screen.

"Hello!"

"Hello Dida, where are you?" Ambar asked her.

"Just about to step in." She replied calmly.

"Where?"

"Home."

"Oh Shit... we were about to pick you up." Ambar said sadly.

"Why? Where are you?" Amrita asked her.

"Actually Dida, we... I mean Vashisht and I were at the library to return our books so we thought to pick you up from the hospital so that we might go out for dinner somewhere we like." She spoke while Amrita smiled.

"Finally, you both sorted out. Good. At least one good thing to happen." She sounded low.

"One good thing? What happened Dida? Is there any problem?"

"No... not at all. I was just saying, you both go out and enjoy. I'll just take some rest as I am very exhausted." She covered up.

"As you say but are you sure Dida?" She asked her one more time

"Yes."

"Okay. See you."

"See you dear. Take care." She hung up and stroked the door bell.

Sandhya opened the door with a big smile on her face.

"Amrita! how was your day dear?" She asked her still smiling.

Amrita just ingored her mother and clumped forward entering her house.

"Amrita!" She heard her father calling her name.

"Amrita. Stop." He bellowed again when she tried ignoring him as well.

"We both need to talk to you." He referred to his wife while she just nodded having no other choice.

"Can't it wait. I'm not in a mood for argument."

"Please listen to us. It's very important." Vinay replied.

"Okay what is it?" She asked being annoyed.

"Not here... come with us." Sandhya muttered.

"Fine." She followed her parents to their bedroom.

"Sit." Vinay gestured her and signalled his wife while Amrita was totally bewildered but sat on the bed instantly.

"Take this." Her mother offered her a small but heavy bag.

"What is it?" She asked her parents.

Her parents eyed each other then smiled vividly at her.

"Amrita, we know everything about your loan and the difficulties you're facing and as your parents, we are really concerned about you and wants to see you happy." Vinay expounded.

"Since when?" Amrita asked sarcastically.

"Amrita, please let me finish." He scolded her.

"Okay. Go on."

"Amrita. Today, my boss visited us."

"So?".

"He came here with a proposal." Vinay sighed.

"What proposal?" She was muddled.

"He wishes to marry you." He said answering her.

"What?" She caught her head in her hands.

"Amrita it was a shock for us too but he told us that he likes you." Vinay added.

"So what are you both expecting from me?" She stood up angrily.

"We want you to say yes. Think about it. This is the best proposal you could get." Sandhya said.

"Why would I do that?" She chaffed.

"Because we'll be financing Ambar's education if you're willing to do this as per our wish." Sandhya replied.

Amrita couldn't believe what her mother had just blurted out.

How could she say this?

"Think about it. We know you want to quit your job but you have applied for a loan which is expected to be sanctioned a month later. As far as we know, the last day for paying fees is by the end of this month, isn't it?" Sandhya explicated while Amrita was perplexed by this time.

"Amrita, If you agree, you'll be able to save Ambar's only dream of studying abroad. Plus you can also continue to study as Mr. Nakul also has no problem with your ambition. You can quit your job and study further like you always wanted." Vinay smiled placing his hand on her head.

"Why are you doing this?" Tears sprang to Amrita's cheeks.

"Like we had said earlier, we want to see you 'content and happy' always." Sandhya answered her daughter, wiping her cheeks.

"Tomorrow morning.
We'll be waiting for your answer till then, take this money with you." Vinay handed her while she held it like she was holding her tears.

She left their room immediately as she felt more and more suffocated with them and their words spoken.
