Do you love me?

THE PROMISE

Pavan & Priya's parents are family-friends. So Pavan and Priya became childhood friends who studied in the same school, college, and university.

Pavan was a handsome & smart student but spent most of his life parting with friends. He started his career as a graphic designer at his father's company.

On the other hand,

Priya is also a well-talented, kind, and caring girl. She was a dream girl for every male student in her class, but no one perceived her? Instead of partying with friends, she always spends time with her father (when she was 7 Priya lost her mother in a road accident) and her parents. She started her career as an interior designer for the same company a few months earlier than for Pavan (while he was wasting his time on a vacation after graduation).

On a fine morning, Priya's father asked Priya about her opinion about marrying Pavan.

Priya: Dad I like him but.......

Priya's father: I thought you would react shyly and say "Dad I have just started my career", But I didn't expect this????.

Priya's cheeks turned red with awkwardness.

Priya's father: Then what's the problem? If you love anyone, don't hesitate to tell me. I will always respect your decision.

Priya: I like Pavan but......when I asked about his future plans, he spoke about marrying a South Korean??.

Priya's father: **laughing** My stupid princess was just joking and I am sure her father is not expecting a Korean as his daughter-in-law.

Priya silently smiled and nodded her head? (in mind: am I gonna get a slave husband?)

In the meantime,

Pavan: I am just 23 and I am not gonna marry her.

Pavan's father: may I know the reason?

Pavan's mother: she is such a beautiful & caring girl and she even knows how to cook. In the present generation, most even know. I am sure she will become a great wife.

Pavan: I...I like Korean girls ? Marrying a Korean girl is my dream??

Pavan's father: shut up and Marry Priya?. At least you don't have a valid reason to reject her.

Pavan: But why her ? have known each other from childhood? Or because she spends time with family?

Pavan's father: No, because I promised his mother before her death. She believed that you would take care of her daughter and make the rest of her daughter's life happy. After I gave my word she died with a smile on her face. I still remember her face with that smile.

Mother: We gave you everything you asked, we never asked anything in return. Now we are asking you to give Priya our daughter-in-law.

Pavan(in a loud voice): " will you please give me some time to think ".

Father: take your time but tell you your decision in 10 minutes.

Pavan's mother went to the kitchen to prepare tiffin.

Pavan: Dad she never listens to me. She used me as her body-guard in college to protect herself from her classmates and treat me as a slave. How can I live happily with a dominating wife?

Pavan's father: I will show you an example. Come, let's go to the kitchen.

They both went to the kitchen.

Father: What are you making today?

Mother: Dosa

Father: yesterday also you made the same tiffin I want chapatis today. Will you make it for me?

Mother: No, so you are not gonna eat tiffin today?

Father: who said I don't eat tiffin? I love Dosa. Let's go, son, I think you got an answer to your question?

Pavan:???

Father: The dominating wife always works harder to make her family happy. So you get a bonus reason to marry her??

A few hours later

Pavan's father: what is your decision, son?

Pavan: OK, I will marry her, but on one condition, we will live in a separate house after our marriage.?

(In mind: He will never agree with this)

Father: We even paid for an individual house nearer to our company for you. We don't have any objection to this.???

Pavan: Are you kicking me out of my house?

Pavan's father: Giving you a chance to understand an adult life.

Pavan: ?? OK dad, I don't have any objection

(in mind: Slave life begins )

Pavan's parents and Priya's father discussed the engagement date and fixed it.
