Author's POV
Sandhya thought to her self - How can Papa suddenly do this, how can he change to such extent. He is unable to see the good points..Can’t he see that Shuchi came out of that hell and it all happened because of Aditi. It seems he wanted to take revenge for the same with Aditi and so he is doing this with her..
Neither Aditi knows about the boy or his family nor he told me anything about the groom and his family. When I asked him, he clearly refuses the same.. Why he is so angry to her, how can a father be so cruel to his own daughter..
She (Sandhya) called to Aditi and told her about the conversation she had with her father. She also feels bad for her, but can't do anything. After talking to Aditi she calls to Shuchi.
After the divorce of Shuchi, no one from her family talks to her and Aditi except Sandhya and her family members from in-laws, and Shuchi knows this that Aditi is being banned from the family because of her only. So these three sister shares a very close bond with each other. Aditi and Shuchi believe that they have only one person who is truly their family and the world now after Shuchi's divorce and that is none other than Sandhya Di.
Sandhya thought to inform about this shocking news to Shuchi so she calls her.
Sandhya- Shuchi how are you dear?
Shuchi: Di, I am fine, ap kaise ho? (I am fine di, how are you?)
Sandhya: I am good, listen Aditi marriage is fixed and Papa shared this to me, not actually with me, but directly to Aditi, and she informed me about this and I just had confirmed with Papa (father).
Shuchi: Whattt.. kab kiske sath.. (When and who is the groom?)
Sandhya: I don't have any idea about all this, it's just that Dad got this marriage alliance from Groom side and he feels it very good alliance so he fixed her marriage.
Shuchi (thought of marriage made her weak, and she speaks in shivering voice.. ) - Di if something happens with her same like me.. Then????
Sandhya: hey.. Don't say that and don't think like this way.. Everything will be good don't worry..
Shuchi: Did Aditi know about it, what she says?
Sandhya: yes, she got to know about it, and since Papa started talking to her so she said she is fine with the flow..
Shuchi: Di, if Papa is talking to her then ask her to deny this proposal.. She and you both can talk to Papa about all this..
Sandhya: no beta, now no one can stop this. As Papa has decided this for her, so we can't do anything now.. If we'll do anything, then it will cause problems and things will go back to square one, and this time we can't even imagine that will she ever be a part of our father's life or not.. You know na how dad and Bhai is?
Shuchi: yes di, I understand.. I'll talk to Aditi, I know she must be very upset.. But this is really not done.
After disconnecting the call, Shuchi keeps thinking about this shocking news and thought that this is going to be a big crime for her little sister Aditi as she is not ready for this surprise marriage or more it's shocking marriage. But Shuchi also knows that now no one really can stop this.. Even if Aditi will try to stop, she will lose a chance to get the love of our family forever.. ,
At the same time somewhere in Aditi Office, Monika and Samit are together at canteen to have coffee as Aditi wanted to go home early so she is busy in completing her work.
Sam: Yaar Monika, I am not feeling good for Aditi, it's really seems to have such a blast, how can she directly go to a person and get married to a complete stranger?
Monika: Yeah true, how someone can do this, I mean nowadays no groom wants to get married to the girl without a single meeting.... It's not old day’s yaar where we were not allowed to meet the other person....
Sam: seems you have got very good experience in marriage and had already experienced more than 10 marriages from your birth?
Monika: Shut up.. Here I am talking seriously and you...
Sam: yeah.. Right, I was just trying to light your mood..
Monika: but what to do now yaar, we can't do anything..As we both know about her family.. How rude they are.. How much orthodox her family is.. How they believe in their tradition and for that they won't regret to kill their family as well.
Samit gawk to Monika with wide eyes..
Monika: Whatttt???? I am telling the truth, I have been there in Shuchi di's marriage so, I have seen them, how protective they are for their over believe concern in their tradition and have seen Shuchi di, and how she has suffered a lot... You were not there in her marriage, but you were there when Shuchi di came here after the divorce. Remember?.. So you know how they are..
Samit: Yeah.. Right I remember..
So basically no one can stop to Aditi from getting married to a stranger???? Right????
Monika: Yes, right.. We can't stop this marriage..
Samit: But we can ask Aditi to talk to her dad about the groom.. At least she has right to know the person.. What if he is impotent, what if he is gay? Or maybe already married and no one knows.. After all, how can her family do this yaar and moreover, I am more surprised to hear that the groom family wants this marriage to happen in all of sudden..
Monika: yeah, even this question is bothering me as well.. Why would someone do that.. Very or say mostly guys now a day’s decide to meet the girls they are going to get married..
In between Sam and Monika's talk, Aditi comes to canteen and sit beside to Monika and said: Because, as per my Dad, the boy is very sanskari type - means very obedient son of his parents..
You know- kahan milte hain small town me itne sabhya log jo apne parents ki baat ko pathar ki lakeer maan le.. bade shahar me rahkar bhi vo bahut hi obedient type hai.. (because he is very obedient and a person who values the thought of his parents , and serve them as God, as from being from a small town and working in a big city he still care for their family values and tradition unlike me)
Samit: Ohkk.. Then, if we don't agree to marry a girl chosen by my parents without meeting her then I am not a person who values my parent’s tradition and culture...
Monika and Aditi say in unison - Yes you got it..
Samit: I don't think these types of boys even exist in now a days.. There are all types of men on the earth, but not this type of obedient as far as I know, because if you ask me, then the reason behind this type of boys are only one - Suspense, means hiding something from parents or may be full family is like a secret box. Kind of dark secret box where you never know anyone and you can't trust anyone or maybe it's also possible that the guy is only thinking of you as a package/parcel where you are just to fulfill his and his parents' wishes..
Aditi: really :(
Monika: hey tell me one thing.. You didn't even see his photo????????? I mean at least you can try to ask for his photo from Uncle.. I don't think he is goanna be upset about this or reject for this. If he has right to see your pic, you also have right to see his pic.. What say???
Aditi: The way it's all going on, do you really think my father is going to permit me for this, even I am in doubt that the boy has seen my photo or not, because as far as I remember I never had a proper photo shoot type thing for this type of occasion like for marriage purpose.. I hardly wear salwar suit at home. Mostly I used to be in shorts and jeans top yaar.. You all know me very well.... So being in - Kapdo ki thaan (saree) is a very big thing for me... I am 100 % sure that jerk has not seen my photo..
Monika: This is really horrible.. It doesn't look like a marriage proposal instead it seems like a new horror movie is going to be released soon...
Aditi stands up and said to both of her friends - leave it yaar.. Now it's completely unstoppable for all of us.. Not even God will be able to help me in this scenario, because the great father of mine has decided to give me shock of the suspense and so "No one can stop him now"...
Saying this she along with her friends left the office..
