Kevin thought :

Dr. Kevin stirred his coffee lazily, his mind drifting back to a bizarre yet strangely adorable memory from last week.

He had been in the café area, enjoying his break, when he spotted a girl twirling in front of a car mirror.

Dancing.

Making funny faces.

Even fixing her hair dramatically like she was in some kind of shampoo commercial.

Kevin had nearly choked on his coffee. Who was this tiny ball of chaos?

She had looked so innocent—like a puppy discovering its reflection for the first time.

But today…

Today, that same girl lay unconscious on a hospital bed.

Kevin stood beside her, frowning. What the heck happened in just one week?!

One minute, she was a walking entertainment channel, and now she looked like someone who had just fought in a war and lost.

The door BURST open.

"Doctor! How is she?"

Kevin turned to see three men rushing in—one older, his face filled with worry, and two younger guys, one looking furious, the other clearly panicked.

"Are you her family?" Kevin asked.

The older man nodded. "I’m her father, Shiva, and these are my sons, Ravi and Arjun."

Kevin blinked. Wait… why does this man look familiar?

Shiva turned to Supriya, gently brushing her hair aside. "What happened to her?"

Kevin sighed. "She collapsed due to stress and exhaustion. Has she been eating properly?"

Ravi scoffed. "She barely eats! She acts all strong, but she’s been carrying too much on her own!"

Arjun crossed his arms. "I TOLD her to take a break, but does she ever listen? Nooo, because she’s ‘totally fine’!"

Kevin crossed his arms. "Well, her body gave up before she did. She needs rest, proper food, and less drama."

Shiva sighed. "This girl… always worrying us."

After coming home, Supriya flung her arms wide and declared with all the dramatic flair of a daytime soap star, “Dad… I want to go abroad for my college studies!”

Shiva, never one to miss a chance for melodrama, immediately retorted, “You… are not going alone… I'm coming with you!”

Ravi, with mischief sparkling in his eyes, piped in, “I too couldn’t leave my little princess alone!”

And then, Arjun, the perpetual pest, added, “I too—as I always want to disturb you!”

Supriya paused, a wry smile tugging at her lips as she watched her family swarm around her like overly affectionate paparazzi. In that moment, she mused to herself, My family is so in love with me… but in my previous life, I left all this behind and chose that man who didn’t even love me!

She couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of it all. Here she was, about to embark on grand adventures abroad, and yet she was stuck with a family that treated her like a celebrity—one who never had a minute’s peace, even if it meant constant interruptions and overprotective antics.

"Well," she mused aloud with a playful roll of her eyes, "if I'm going to be pursued like royalty, I might as well enjoy the ride!"

And with that, the chaotic, loving banter continued, leaving Supriya exasperated yet secretly grateful for the hilariously over-the-top love that only her family could provide.
