Visit Of Mr and Mrs. Muddenal.A Chapter by Prabha Salimath
My mom she is very energetic today, she sits not a minute, hurrying to finish everything moving one place to another to see whether we do her assigned work or not. She strictly informed me yesterday not to go anywhere, she may be suspicious of me. If I not like the guy, I seriously leave the home and go to my sister's, this time my sister is here only and there is no escape as I figure it out.
I don't know what if Kiran's parents consent to this proposal... I'll have to get ready for marriage. Am I really ready for this? My heart just laughing like it heard a practical joke, I know it may be laughing, there is no desire in me for husband and love. I love my life more than anything in the whole world, I can't love anything and anyone. It looks so awkward, this is the truth of my life. I can't change my mind and I can't hurt my own heart. I have to share my life with Kiran if everything is okay. " Welcome Mr and Mrs Muddenal." I think they came, father welcomed them, I wish everything to be unfair, I mean they to dislike me. Sorry God, I don't know what to do.. Pls don't break parents heart as well as mine, but save me. They are talking, I'm nervous anytime they can call me. " Where is your daughter Mr. Nandvad? We wish to see my son's choice." Mr. Muddenal asked. " Yes sure, Urmila bring Rekha they are asking. " " See Rekha don't be scared, stay calm and stop fidgetting. Nothing is wrong, you have to marry not its mandatory but a girl needs a heart to love and to be loved, love is a magic that everyone wants in their life my dear. Okay its not the time for lecturing, keep smiling it makes you more beautiful. " Its okay, its okay, I'm chanting its okay, everything to be okay. I'm tensed though stopped fidgetting, I have to. Mr and Mrs Muddenal's eyes are wide open and I'm feeling uncomfortable with that, I'm little freaky can't open up to new situation and new faces. " Come here dear, Mrs. Muddenal called me and sat me next to her. You daughter is pretty by the way she is my son's choice, how could she not be.." She looks pleased. " Yes she is, Vanita, I'm Kiran's father Giridhar and she is his mother Vanita. " Mr. Muddenal introduced themselves. Hello, shall I call uncle and auntie? " Yeah sure dear Mr. Muddenal said. Fine dear we love to make you our daughter-in-law soon. " " Yes she is very pretty and one thing Rekha keep smiling, it makes more beautiful. Be friendly we are not here to recruit for our household job, I can assure you'll be happy with our family. Kiran is very responsible, he loves his family and cares everyone, if you'll be his wife, you have a very good husband and a good friend as well. " auntie said. I don't know what to do, I signalled my sister, she understood and take me to my room by saying I'm feeling shy. They keep on talking, why God always gives adverse to my wish I don't know, I prayed not to break parents heart and keep my heart too. Is there any way left for me to say no? No all doors are closed I'll be jailed. " Rekha, Rekha, hello I'm talking to you, dear are you okay? Why you signalled me? Whats wrong? " didi asked. Yes di, I'm fine nothing is wrong, I was feeling... " You are feeling happy, don't you? " she asked. No, I'm just not feeling to sit there so signalled you, thats it. " Rekha, I don't know what is running in your mind now, is there anything let me know, please don't keep it to yourself. Haven't you seen parents are really happy, now they will be happy forever, finally you are going to marry. Vanita auntie saying auspiciously about her son, I think you'll be happy, he is a family concern person. " Di please stop it now, I don't want to listen anything about that, please leave me alone. I'm unaware, I'm shouting at her and she left the room. How could I do this to her? She was happy for me, why did I do that.? " We would like to share a word with you, if you don't mind my son wishes to meet your daughter once again, if you are comfortable with that. " Kiran's father asked. " Yeah sure, its okay. We gotta change with the time. " " Thank you Mr. Nandvad let them meet tomorrow. In our office there is a music concert let them join it together. " His father invited me to a music concert, they decide everything as they wish, even they don't think to ask me, whether I'm wishing to meet him or not. Everybody looks happy, my mother is laughing after almost two years, she was worried abour my marriage. As I see di, she laughing still looks little upset, she might be hurted that I shouted at her. Let me make peace with her. I'm sorry di, I shouldn't shouted at you, I was upset and feeling not to talk about him. " Why? Let me know today, why you are not interested in love or marriage? All these days I supported you because I thought one day you would change, but you are not. I want to know the reason, how can one hurt their parents this much? For you parents fought for two years. Are you in love? or do you like somebody from your college or school?" di demanded for reason. No, I'm not in love with anyone and I love my life more than anyone; I don't want to mess with my mind and break my heart. I'll have to sacrifice my freedom if I get married, still I'll be made scapegoat for everything, I don't want to loose my freedom. " Nothing is like that dear, you don't need to sacrifice your freedom, don't feel like that. Being a woman, housewife and most importantly your sister I'm saying its a very beautiful small world in this real world. Marriage is a bond that unites two family and two hearts. I accept responsibilties will be wide open, at first you feel tired but later you find your world in there. You love your life, make your husband your life so you need not to change anything then. Don't be so confused, accept life as it comes. This is practical world, you can't live in dream of being alone for the rest of your life. Fine don't think more, everything will be fine, Kiran would like to meet you once again, tomorrow evening at his father's office there is music concert, you go and meet him. Be nice with him. " After saying all that she hugged me and left me alone. I don't know what to talk to Kiran, what kind of person he is? Let me know tomorrow. © 2015 Prabha Salimath |
