Chapter 9 - An Unknown Truth:

At last, Ayaan's wait was over…

The day had finally arrived—

the day he would meet Alina's mother.

 It was afternoon.

For Ayaan, everything felt a little different today.

The sunlight was soft…

and the moment he stepped outside, he felt a strange weakness in his body.

He checked the silver locket around his neck and the ring on his hand…

then whispered to himself—

Ayaan (softly): It's just for a while…

He got into his car and drove straight toward Alina's house.

Soon, he stood in front of her home.

Taking a deep breath…

he rang the doorbell.

The door opened—

and Alina stood there.

Today, her face was filled with a different kind of happiness and excitement.

Alina (smiling): Finally… you're here.

Ayaan (smiling softly): Of course… I had to come.

Alina invited him inside.

The house felt simple and warm.

As soon as Ayaan stepped in, his eyes fell on Alina's mother.

He immediately walked up to her…

and bent down to touch her feet.

Ayaan: Namaste, Aunty.

Mom: Bless you, beta.

She placed her hand on his head lovingly.

They all sat down together.

For a while, they had normal conversations—

about work, family, life…

and slowly, the atmosphere became comfortable.

After some time, Alina's mother looked directly at Ayaan and said—

Mom: Ayaan beta… Alina has told me everything about you.

Ayaan felt slightly nervous.

Mom: Her father is no longer in this world…

and apart from her, I have no one.

Her voice grew a little heavy.

Mom: I just want my daughter to marry into a good family…

and if it happens in the same city, nothing could make me happier.

She smiled gently.

Mom: You both love each other… so why should I stand in your way?

Ayaan and Alina looked at each other.

Happiness was clearly visible in their eyes.

Mom: There's just one thing…

Ayaan listened carefully.

Mom: I would like to meet your parents.

A relationship is not just between two people… it connects two families.

Then she added warmly—

Mom: After that, we'll celebrate the wedding properly.

Hearing this, relief and happiness spread across Ayaan's face.

He nodded immediately.

Ayaan: Yes, Aunty… I'll arrange for you to meet my parents very soon.

After that…

they spent more time talking together…

laughing…

and for Ayaan, everything felt perfect.

After a while, Ayaan stood up to leave.

He touched Alina's mother's feet again.

Ayaan: I'll take your leave, Aunty.

Mom: Stay happy, beta.

Alina walked him to the door.

They spoke silently through their eyes.

Alina (softly): See… I told you everything would be fine.

Ayaan (smiling): Yes… everything is falling into place.

But…

deep inside, Ayaan still felt a strange fear.

Ayaan reached home.

His heart was filled with excitement.

He walked straight into the drawing room, where his parents were sitting.

Ayaan: Mom, Dad… I need to talk to you.

They looked at him.

Ayaan took out his phone…

and showed them Alina's photo.

Ayaan: I want to marry this girl.

The moment they saw the photo…

their expressions changed instantly.

The happiness disappeared—

replaced by shock and anger.

Suddenly—

CRASH!!!

In anger, Ayaan's father threw the phone hard onto the floor.

It shattered into pieces.

Ayaan froze in shock.

Ayaan: Dad… what are you—

Dad (furious): This marriage will never happen!

The atmosphere in the room turned heavy… and dangerous.

There was fear in his mother's eyes too.

Mom (softly): Ayaan… do you even know who this girl is…?

Ayaan's heart started pounding.

Ayaan: What do you mean…?

His father looked at him with burning anger—

Dad: You can have no relationship with this girl.

Never.

Silence filled the room.

A thousand questions rushed through Ayaan's mind—

What is so special about Alina…?

Do Mom and Dad already know her…?

Or… is this the result of some past enmity…?

Ayaan had no idea…

that his life was now standing in front of a truth—

a truth that could change everything.

What do you think will happen next?
