'They are not ready to understand me. I don't want to marry and I don't want any men to be near me other than dad.'

Samyu was sobbing to her pillow when her mom came to speak to her.

"Dear, neither me nor your dad is happy with your behavior. If you have any problem please talk to us samyu. U know we both are not that type of people to disrespect your decision. Whatever you think tell it dear" her mom said caressing her hair.

"Even that's my problem now mom.. u both had not even gone against my decision even for once. But what happens... am I had become a burden to you both" she asked her mom with tears running down her cheeks.

Her mom pulled Samyu and hugged her. She rubbed Samyu's back to sooth her.

"Dear, u know that we never think u as a burden for us.. we live only for your happiness baby.. u believe us na.. if we do anything that is for your good life Samyu.. now first stop crying and listen me"

Samyu has now stopped crying..

"Now speak to me frankly.. what's your problem in marrying Santhosh"

"I am not worried about the person whom you had chosen. I don't want to get married at all. Please mom try to understand me"

"What's your problem in marriage. We trust you and we will support you even if you are in love with someone. If ur choice is good, we will speak for marriage with him"

"Mom, I don't like any other men other dad. Then how could I be in love.. mom I don't trust, like or love any men other than my dad. The only men in my life is dad. "

"Samyu what happened to you.. all men are not bad. Some men are bad, I agree with you. But don't see all men in the perspective of bad.. if u don't like men, then u should not like your dad too"

"Mom my dad is so good and I love him so much.. that's is what I tell mom all men are not like my dad.. "

"Samyu I too tell the same. U will get a good person like your dad. We both too have the desire of seeing our daughter's wedding and playing with grandchildren like others.. "

"Mom if you want to play with grandchildren I will adopt a kid. U play with that kid.."

"Samyu u lost ur sense I think so.. we both don't want to die with the guilt of leaving our precious daughter alone in this world. If u want us die with the guilt, then go ahead"

"Mom I will die when you both die. "

" So u won't give us happiness of seeing our daughter's wedding. U won't give us a grandkids with your gene. Me and dad are cursed birth, I think so"

" Mom why r speaking like this.. u want me to get married na.. then I sometime"

"How much time you need "

"5 years mom"

"Oh why so soon Samyu.. I thought u will ask ten years"

"If u both are ok with it, then I need ten years mom"

"I think, it doesn't sound that bad if I say, "

"Mom please just 5 yrs"

" It will be better for you to accept the fact that u r going get married within this year. That's final.. don't cry so much as tomorrow groom's family is going to visit us"

"Mom no pleaseeeee mommmm"
