THE PROMISE
Pavan & Priya's parents are family-friends. So Pavan and Priya became childhood friends who studied in the same school, college, and university.
Pavan was a handsome & smart student but spent most of his life parting with friends. He started his career as a graphic designer at his father's company.
On the other hand,
Priya is also a well-talented, kind, and caring girl. She was a dream girl for every male student in her class, but no one perceived her? Instead of partying with friends, she always spends time with her father (when she was 7 Priya lost her mother in a road accident) and her parents. She started her career as an interior designer for the same company a few months earlier than for Pavan (while he was wasting his time on a vacation after graduation).
On a fine morning, Priya's father asked Priya about her opinion about marrying Pavan.
Priya: Dad I like him but.......
Priya's father: I thought you would react shyly and say "Dad I have just started my career", But I didn't expect this????.
Priya's cheeks turned red with awkwardness.
Priya's father: Then what's the problem? If you love anyone, don't hesitate to tell me. I will always respect your decision.
Priya: I like Pavan but......when I asked about his future plans, he spoke about marrying a South Korean??.
Priya's father: **laughing** My stupid princess was just joking and I am sure her father is not expecting a Korean as his daughter-in-law.
Priya silently smiled and nodded her head? (in mind: am I gonna get a slave husband?)
In the meantime,
Pavan: I am just 23 and I am not gonna marry her.
Pavan's father: may I know the reason?
Pavan's mother: she is such a beautiful & caring girl and she even knows how to cook. In the present generation, most even know. I am sure she will become a great wife.
Pavan: I...I like Korean girls ? Marrying a Korean girl is my dream??
Pavan's father: shut up and Marry Priya?. At least you don't have a valid reason to reject her.
Pavan: But why her ? have known each other from childhood? Or because she spends time with family?
Pavan's father: No, because I promised his mother before her death. She believed that you would take care of her daughter and make the rest of her daughter's life happy. After I gave my word she died with a smile on her face. I still remember her face with that smile.
Mother: We gave you everything you asked, we never asked anything in return. Now we are asking you to give Priya our daughter-in-law.
Pavan(in a loud voice): " will you please give me some time to think ".
Father: take your time but tell you your decision in 10 minutes.
Pavan's mother went to the kitchen to prepare tiffin.
Pavan: Dad she never listens to me. She used me as her body-guard in college to protect herself from her classmates and treat me as a slave. How can I live happily with a dominating wife?
Pavan's father: I will show you an example. Come, let's go to the kitchen.
They both went to the kitchen.
Father: What are you making today?
Mother: Dosa
Father: yesterday also you made the same tiffin I want chapatis today. Will you make it for me?
Mother: No, so you are not gonna eat tiffin today?
Father: who said I don't eat tiffin? I love Dosa. Let's go, son, I think you got an answer to your question?
Pavan:???
Father: The dominating wife always works harder to make her family happy. So you get a bonus reason to marry her??
A few hours later
Pavan's father: what is your decision, son?
Pavan: OK, I will marry her, but on one condition, we will live in a separate house after our marriage.?
(In mind: He will never agree with this)
Father: We even paid for an individual house nearer to our company for you. We don't have any objection to this.???
Pavan: Are you kicking me out of my house?
Pavan's father: Giving you a chance to understand an adult life.
Pavan: ?? OK dad, I don't have any objection
(in mind: Slave life begins )
Pavan's parents and Priya's father discussed the engagement date and fixed it.
