Love Me Thoda Aur 💕💞

Abhishree's POV

Yesterday I received a long lecture from mumma as I expected.

Let me show you how it went.

We reached home and mumma took me to my room. She made me sit on the bed and sat in front of me.

She held my hands and looked into my eyes.

"Abhishree! Meri baat dhyan se sun."

(Listen to me carefully.)

She took a deep breath and started.

"Tu badi ho rhi hai ab. Ye inn gali ke ladko se saath ghumna band kr beta. Log baatein banane lage hai."

(You are growing up now. Stop roaming with this street boys. People have started talking.)

I roll my eyes and say.

"Mujhe inn sab se koi farak nhi padta. Logo ka toh kaam hi hai bhaukna. Bhaukne do na."

(I don't care about all this. People have an habit of barking. Let them bark.)

"Shree! Tujhe farak nhi padta lekin mujhe aur tere papa ko padta hai. Log tujhe kuch nhi kahenge lekin hamare upar thukenge. Tu samajhti kyu nhi hai. Ek ladki ko apne kaayde mai rehna chahiye."

(You don't care but me and your papa do. People will not say anything to you but will bad mouth us. Why don't you understand. A girl should stay in her limits.)

I looked away rolling my eyes. She held my chin and made me look at her.

"Beta. Tu badi ho gyi hai ab. Kal ko teri shaadi hogi. Aur agar tera yahi rawaiya raha toh kaise chalega. Thoda toh ladkiyon jaisa bartaav kr na."

(You are grown up now. You will get married one day. If your behavior remains the same then how will it suffice. Behave like girls.)

"Mumma! Mai koi shaadi waadi nhi kr rhi. Mujhse ye sab ladkiyon jaise sharmana and all nhi ho paayega."

(I am not getting married. I can't do these girlish stuff.)

"Shaadi toh ek din sabko krni hoti hai beta. Har beti ko shaadi krke apne ghar jaana hota hai-"

(Everyone has to marry one day. Every daughter goes to her home-)

"Mera ghar yahi hai."

(This is my home.)

She smiles and caresses my face.

"Meri pyaari bachhi hai na tu. Kyu zid karti hai. Mai kabhi kuch tere bure ke liye kahungi kya?"

(You are my lovely daughter. Why are you so stubborn. Will I ever say something bad for you?)

"Lekin mumma-mujhse ye sab nhi hoga na. Ghar baar sambhalna, pati ki seva aur bachhe and all. Mai nhi kr skti ye sab. Aap please-"

(But mumma-I can't do all this. Managing home, serving husband and children and all. I can't do this. Please-)

"Shree! Shaadi se pehle koi bhi ready nhi hota. Mai bhi nhi thi. Lekin ek baar jab aap uss insaan se milte ho jo aapko har khushi de, bhut saara pyaar de, toh sab asaan lagne lagta hai."

(No one is ready before marriage. Even I was not. But when you meet the person who gives you every happiness, love, then everything becomes easy.)

Why can't she understand that I am not meant for this. I am not meant for love.

Kyu Bhagwaan kyu? Kyu aapne mujhe ladki banaya. Nhi banna mujhe ladki.
