SUDDEN SURPRISES

A week passed by after my conversation with Veer. I was working in my cabin, when the telephone rang in my cabin. When I answered, I was asked to come to conference hall by Arjun. As far as I remember, there's no meeting scheduled today. I don't know why he's calling me, he didn't say anything even when I asked him. So, I decided to go and check why did he call me.

I entered the room and I saw Arjun standing beside someone. That someone was sitting on the chair facing other side not revealing his face. I looked at Arjun and gestured him asking who is the person sitting on the chair, he signalled me to keep quite. Then suddenly the man who was sitting on the chair turned towards me, and it's my papa sitting there. I ran to him and meanwhile he stood up from the chair. I hugged him tightly and tears started falling off from my eyes. I heard my father saying, "Princess, I thought you'll be happy seeing me, but instead you're crying seeing me. Maybe I shouldn't have come her without asking you."

I know my father is teasing me, I slowly bet him on his arm and said, "Even you know, how happy I am seeing you here. Thanks for coming papa. I really missed you a lot." He kissed on my forehead and said, "I missed you too princess." After that I asked him, "Papa you said Raj uncle will also come along with you, where is he? Don't tell me that uncle has already gone to meet Veer." Just then, the door opened and Raj uncle entered. I went to him and hugged him. He asked me, "How are you?" I replied, "I'm fine uncle. How are you?" Uncle smiled and replied, "I'm good, but I miss you in office."

I asked him, "Uncle have you met Veer?" He chuckled and said, "I know you would want to join us, so we came here first." I smiled and said, "That's so sweet of you. Come let's go. I think the surgery he's attending will also be over by now." I then turned towards Arjun and said, "Why don't you join us too? I hope Dad has no problem with it." He smiled and said, "Why will I have problem? I know he'll finish his work anyway. Come let's go and yeah ask Anshu to also come if she's free. We haven't met her, ever since our Veer started dating her. I think Raj is also very excited to meet her."

I replied, "Sure papa, then we can all go out for lunch." and we started heading out to Veer's hospital and on the way I asked Anshu to also join us. I called Veer casually to know, if he finished his surgery or not. And he said that he just now finished his surgery and now he's free.

We asked Raj uncle to first enter Veer's cabin, he knocked the door and entered his cabin. After seeing uncle, Veer just stood rooted in his place as soon as he saw uncle. Though he never says, I know he misses uncle very much. Also like me and dad, they doesn't speak much often. They both love each other so much, but it's very difficult for them to show their affection. It has always been like this. But, now when uncle has come all the way to meet Veer, he must be on cloud nine.

Seeing him standing all dazed, I shouted, "Idiot, uncle has really come. Now come to him, don't stand there like idiot." He smiled and came towards uncle and hugged him. Uncle slowly said, "I missed you son." Veer also whispered, "I missed you too dad." I was shocked hearing them, I've never heard them expressing their feeling for each other. This is the first time, they're speaking so openly. Then he met dad and then we left for the restaurant. Anshu said that she'll join us directly.

By the time we reached, Anshu was already waiting for us outside the restaurant. Anshu tried to bent and take blessings of Raj uncle, but he didn't let her. He hugged her and said, "Daughters don't touch feet in our family. You should always hug me, like you would hug your father." She smiled and then hugged papa too. Then we all went inside the restaurant. During lunch Raj uncle said, "Anshu beta, I'm so happy that you've come into Veer's life. On that day, if you didn't confess your feelings, then our idiot would have never said his feelings. Though he gives good relationship advices to others, he's very poor when it comes to him. I'm so happy for you both."

Anshu smiled and said, "Thanks uncle." Raj uncle said, "From now on call me Dad, just like Veer does. I'm just eagerly waiting for you both to come to me and say that you're ready to marry. See I'm not forcing you people, I'm just expressing my wish." Papa also smiled and said, "Yeah me too. I just can't wait to see you as our Veer's bride."

We continued having our lunch, then suddenly Papa's phone started ringing. It's from Vinod uncle. He invited us all for dinner, he then asked papa to pass the phone to Raj uncle and invited him too. He also mentioned Arjun and asked him to join us. Arjun was both shocked and happy when Vinod uncle mentioned his name. I mean he knows that everyone considers him as family, but these small gestures means a lot. I smiled at him understanding his feelings and he smiled back at me. After finishing lunch, we asked papa and raj uncle to go home and rest for a while, till we finish our work and come back home. After Papa and Raj uncle left, Anshu also left. When me and Arjun were about to leave. He stopped us, saying that he want to talk to us and it's very important. I don't know what he wants to talk now. I just prayed that it's not about us.
