A story of an Indian girl, a pure and innocent soul, one who finds her happiness in other people's smiles.
One who is selfless but fierce.
One who lost her loved ones at the age of 11, since then she lives with her uncle and aunt
Her uncle loves her...
I make my way directly to the main hall as mom and dad told me that they have something very important to talk about. And In every Indian family if there's anything your parents are going to talk is nothing but Marriage.
"Mom,bhai bhag raha hai"The little devil says also known as shravya says
(Mom,bhai is sneaking out)
"Shravya ki Bacchi" I mutter under my breath
"Siddharth" mom yells from the dining
Accepting defeat I go and sit in the dining where my whole family is present
"Today we are going to my friend's house." dad says
"Kyun?"I ask and see bhabhi,bhai, and shravya smirk
(why)
Now tho pakka my life is in danger
(now, I know my life is 100%in danger)
"Kyan matlab kyun, ab teri umar bhi dekhi hai,shaadi kab Karega,tu bhaad me ja is for all I care, par is baar ham unki beti ko dekhne jaa rahe hai aur shaadi pakki kar rahe hai, "mom says
(what do you mean by why, have you ever seen you age, when areyou planning on getting married at the age of 70, you got to hell is for all I care but we are going to see his daughter and confirming the marriage)
"what do you mean shaadi pakki kar rahe hai?"i ask in a louder tone
(what do you mean you're confirming the marriage?)
"don't raise your voice at me, young man, Maine tumhe Ek saal ka time diya, and now I won't listen no as an answer, "mom says
(I gave you one year of time)
"maan Leh, there is no other way out,"bhai says and I glare at him
(say yes,there is no other way out)
"fine" I sigh in defeat
"Evening we all are going to their house and we have something to tell you, "dad says
and I raise an eyebrow
"he's my best friend and jo chahte hai ki yeh shaadi Ek mahine ke Andar ho,his company is going downhill now and that's the reason w-"I cut dad off
(he wants to get you both married in a month)
"Do whatever you want," I say and leave.
A really good way to start the day
°•○●○•°
IN THE EVENING
We reach Dad's friend's house aka Verma mansion, Dad's friend is Ajay Verma.
I don't know how such a good businessman's company is going downhill.
As we enter the house,we are greeted by Ajay's uncle and his wife and a girl who's in her 20s who I suppose is their daughter and another girl who I recognized as Shruti Verma.
"Namaste, come in," Sheela aunty says
"This is my elder daughter Anaya and that's my younger one shruti, "the uncle says
"Shravya nahi aayi?"Sheela aunty asks
(shravya didn't come?)
"She was very excited to come but we couldn't leave Kia alone at home,"bhai says
I just give them a polite nod.
After a while of chit-chatting in the living, we sit in the dining to have dinner when suddenly the doorbell rings.
"That's my cue, "Shruti says
"you're going out anywhere beta?" mom asks her
"Yes aunty my friend's house for a sleepover,"she says
"shruti tune kaha hi nahi?" aunty asks her
(Shruti you didn't even tell me?)
"well ma,aapne tabhi Suna Hoga an jab aap meri baat sunengi naaki well,never mind," she says and leaves
(You would have listened If you actually open your ears and listen instead of never mind)
"she's still like a kid only"Ajay's uncle says
"it's fine even shravya is the same only"dad says
After dinner, Aunty says that we both should talk alone
so Anaya leads the way to the garden
"So, What do you do Anaya?" I ask her
"Well I'm a model Siddharth,I'm kind of famous so I think we'll make the power couple" she answers,there's an evil smirk on my face.
"just so you know, I'm doing this marriage only for my family, and for me, this marriage is only a business deal," I say her
"Siddharth what are you saying, I know this is a deal b-"I cut her off
"Your parents should have thought about it before making this marriage a deal and you can still tall no to our parents outside," I say to her not to be rude but I'm not getting married,end of the discussion. And make my way inside and sit beside my brother.
"So,..." my mom asks
Anaya shyly nods and there goes my whole plan in the drain
"So the day after tomorrow is the engagement and after a week of the engagement we will start all the wedding ceremonies, "Dad says
"Just so you're wondering, everything was pre-planned mere devar Ji"bhabhi whispers in my ear and I send a glare at her.
Then all the others discuss the remaining preparations for the wedding. Later we make our way back home.
Looks like everyone is way more interested in my wedding but none cared to ask whether I'm interested or not.
