Vathsala
was lost deep in her thoughts, thinking hard about her future after marriage,
Indian marriages are a boon as well as a bane to our society.
“Get
ready, don’t be late, they might be here any time”
Guy’s dad asked her father that the guy wanted
to talk to Vathsala, as soon as she heard that, she raised her head quickly
with a shocked expression, and she accidently saw the guy, he was looking
straight at her, with a smile in his eyes , she as a reflex action looked down
, she was blushing .
“Vathsala
are you ready” shouted her mom from downstairs; she has come back from her
trance into reality
“Ha
Maa, getting ready”
“Get
ready, don’t be late, they might be here any time”
“haa
ok Maa” she shouted back to her mom.
Vathsala is a typical Indian girl,
with many dreams to achieve, she has recently completed her degree and was
preparing for many competitive exams, to further study, but even in this
modernized day we do find people who want their daughter to be married at an
early stage.
Vathsala was a bright student, she
wanted to study further and reach heights, and she still remembers the
discussion with her dad on the day the match maker has bought this match.
“Dad I want to go with my further
studies”
“Vathsala, everything should happen
at the right time, so it’s right for you now, if your future husband accepts
then you can further continue with your studies”
Now she
has come back to the reality that marriage is part of life no one can escape it
but as a girl she has many thoughts, about how a marriage life will be, she was
tensed, about everything first whether this guy suits her mind set or not ,
second she needs to leave her whole family and straight away start a new life
in a strangers house with his family members, how will it be? There are many
questions troubling her, for all her doubts only time can answer.
Her mother has come into her room
and upon seeing her, she made few changes to her attire and told few things
which every mom tells to her daughter like as soon as you come outside, take
blessings of everyone , answer to their questions properly etc.,
She nodded her head for everything.
Why girls should do all the sacrifices, why not the guy follow the same
procedures, she was fuming inside but she was expressionless outwards.
Her mom left the room leaving her.
She was pacing back and forth in the room , She was tensed , she don’t know why
, she’s angry , tensed , afraid , all emotions are charging upon her at once.
She closed her eyes and took her breath deeply to calm herself and was waiting
patiently.
Her mom has come and took her
outside, she has done everything as told and her mom asked her to sit placing a
chair for her. She sat with her head held down. She wanted to see the guy but
she cannot raise her head.
Someone from the guy’s side asked
her, “Did you see him? Did you like him?
She nodded her head still looking
down.
