Chapter
20
As their wedding
day was approaching, everyone was getting busy with marriage works. Marriage is
one of the biggest celebration in one’s life which can happen only once, which every
girl and guy dreams off!, Especially in India , marriage is a dream as well as
it brings upon all the cultures and traditions , bonding up people of two different families into one . One fine
day Akash’s dad called up Ishika’s Dad
“Namaste ji”
told Ishika’s dad
“Ha ji, How are
you” asked Akash’s dad
“I’m fine, how
are you?” asked Ishika’s dad
“Are you free
today, I want to meet you once” his voice was very deep; Ishika’s dad sensed
that something went wrong.
“Ha ji , where
shall we meet ?” asked Ishika’s dad
Ishika’s dad was
worried ,because Akash’s dad voice was very stern and deep , he sensed
something was wrong ,he was worried because his business was in a deep loss ,
he is somehow managing all the expenses regarding his daughter marriage , now any other expenses might lead him to more
debt and he cannot manage that or
another question that is making him more worried was , did Akash’s
family learnt about his situation and is he now coming to cancel the marriage ,
he was frazzling , he didn’t find an answer , No one at home knows about his
failing business, because that might spoil the happiness at his home , even he
was unaware how his 100 crore turn over business has been killed and led him
into bankruptcy. He is preparing himself for the consequences. Hoping for the
best and fingers crossed, he was waiting for Akash’s dad
They both met at
Ishika’s place, her father received Akash’s Father and they went inside his
private room and closed the doors behind them.
“So what was it
you wanted to talk with me?” Ishika’s dad asked his father
“Ha nothing ji,
we heard that you business is very low nowadays” he asked him casually, but his
words hit her father straight
“It’s nothing big,
it happens in business right” Ishika’s Father said casually, trying to smoothen
out the tension that is building up between them.
“Ha.. You are
right” he gave a pause and continued “
actually Akash is having a dream of buying BMW , so I thought I can ask you , as you can
afford it easily”
Ishika’s dad
made his eyes big and couldn’t digest the fact that he has come to demand more
dowry, if his business was running well, he could have given me in the nest
instant, but now, how can he afford that? How to manage this extra burden? He
has already given a huge sum as dowry and now again this!!
Ishika’s Father
tried to persuade him that he will later present his son in law with all those
gifts, so asked him to continue with the marriage proceedings, Akash’s dad was
persistence that he should give the dowry before the marriage date and giving
his final statement he left the place.
Upon reaching
his place he told his family, i.e. his wife and son about everything and told
Akash not to worry about anything and he will take care.
Akash was raging
with anger listening to his dad, he is angry on his own dad, couldn’t even
shout at him, and what is he thinking about his son, is he an item to be sold
off at a price. He wanted to shout at him; because of him he lost the girl he
wants to spend his entire life. Why is his dad doing this? Doesn’t he know he
is playing with his son’s emotions? It was turmoil inside him, but he didn’t
let out a single word, he stared angrily at his dad, and left the place. He
took out his mobile and dialed a number. Now it’s time for him to get into
action, keeping aside his coyness, it’s time for him to fight for what he
desired.
