Mehta House

Darsh is lounging on the couch, scrolling through his phone, while his parents, Namrata and Devendra, are animatedly discussing the proposal that they found out through some (toxic) relatives.

Namrata Mehta (ML's Mother)

Darshu Beta, We have something to talk to you *nervously*

Darsh Mehta (ML)

About What? *still scrolling phone*

Nirmala Verma (FL's Mother)

हमने तुम्हारे लिए एक लड़की का रिश्ता ढूंढ लिया है। (Humne tumhare liye ek ladki ka rishta dhoondh liya hai.) Translation : We have found you a match with a girl *Excitedly*

Darsh Mehta (ML)

Really? *surprised*

Darsh Mehta (ML)

कौन है वो लड़की? (Kaun hai wo ladki?) Translation : Who is that girl?

Devendra Mehta (ML's Father)

Darshu Beta, her name is Nishita, art curator है। (art curator hai) Translation : She is an art curator

Darsh Mehta (ML)

तो?(Toh?) Translation: So?

Darsh Mehta (ML)

I need to focus on my career not marriage right now

Namrata Mehta (ML's Mother)

But beta don't you think कि वह interesting है, उसके career के साथ। (Ki woh interesting hai, uske career ke saath.) Translation: That she is interesting, with her career. *hopefully*

Darsh Mehta (ML)

Art Curator? That's new but

Namrata Mehta (ML's Mother)

Yes, We knew it और हमें लगता है कि तुम दोनों के बीच अच्छी समझ हो सकती है। (Aur humein lagta hai ki tum dono ke beech achhi samajh ho sakti hai.) Translation : And we think that there could be a good understanding between you two.

Darsh Mehta (ML)

But मुझे नहीं लगता कि मैं अभी शादी के लिए तैयार हूँ। (Mujhe nahi lagta ki main abhi shaadi ke liye tayaar hoon.) Translation: I don’t feel I'm ready for marriage yet. *reluctantly*

Devendra Mehta (ML's Father)

Just meet her once. हो सकता है कि तुम्हें उससे कनेक्शन महसूस हो। (Ho sakta hai ki tumhe usse connection mehsoos ho.) Translation: You might feel a connection with her. *encouragingly*

Darsh Mehta (ML)

जो चाहो करो।(Jo chaho karo.) Translation: Do whatever you want. *rolls eye*

Darsh Mehta (ML)

Devendra Mehta (ML's Father)

Really? *excitedly*

Darsh Mehta (ML)

Yes

Darsh then moves leaving them excited there, unaware of what is going to happen to him

Dhara Mehta (ML's Sister)

मेरी प्यारे शैतान भाई (Meri pyaare shaitan bhai) Translation: My dear devil brother you got tricked by these two *sigh*

Dhara Mehta (ML's Sister)

अब तुम सिर्फ हाँ कहकर वापस आओगे। (Ab tum sirf haan kehkar wapas aaoge.) Translation : Now you will only come back saying yes.

Dhara Mehta (ML's Sister)

That's my guarantee *continue looking at her parents*

Dhara Mehta (ML's Sister)

*sipping coffee*

Dhara who knew what was happening in the tiny evil minds of her parents and was sure that her brother was tricked, and will definitely come back home defeated

Meanwhile
