Chapter 45: chapter 45

Madhumati – You know what, my mom became happy after talking to you. It seems she liked you too. Hehe. Let me talk to my mom now. Tomorrow, I will let you know my parents’ decision. I said smilingly, “Okay. No problem, dear.”She disconnected her call. I said to myself, “Oh! It was a long conversation.” I looked at the clock. The time was 10 p.m. “Oh gosh! I talked to her for about four hours! Now, I am feeling very tired. I don’t want to do anything else. Let’s have supper and sleep.” The Next MorningI woke up and followed my schedule. I opened shaadikamaal app and kept on sending messages to the girls until I reached my limit. Then I began to wait for their replies. But this time, I was also waiting for Madhumati’s call because her offer was great. My mom brought me my breakfast. I said to my mom, “Today, you made my breakfast so soon.”Mom said in a bit of angry tone, “I didn’t make your breakfast early, actually, today you are very late.”I asked surprisingly, “Very late?”Mom – The clock has struck eight and you were still sleeping!Aman – I was not sleeping, mom. I was using the matrimonial app. Mom - I don’t know what you were doing. Normally, you are out of your room at this time but today you were stuck on your bed. Aman – Actually, yesterday, I got very tired. She said sarcastically, “I know why you were so tired yesterday! Talking to girls late at night! I don’t know if you are looking for marriage or just wasting your time!”I felt ashamed, “Mom, why are you fighting with me early in the morning? I am not wasting my time anywhere. You can’t even trust your own son.”Mom – Your actions are making me suspicious of you. Daily, you are talking to girls for many hours and how come nobody is ready to marry you!Aman – Mom, it’s not like that. Actually, some girls didn’t like me and at other times, I didn’t like them. It’s going like that. It’s not easy to find a life partner. I am realizing this fact now. Mom – Huh! In our times, we are not even allowed to see the face of our groom! And now see even after talking to hundreds of girls he is saying he is not getting a life partner. At our times, the things were right. Parents were choosing a partner for their child and he or she has to accept him or her without any question. Aman – Mom! Please don’t spoil my mood early in the morning. You don’t know, mom, yesterday I got a very interesting marriage offer. Mom – First of all, marriage is not an offer, stupid!I said in an irritated voice, “Mom, I don’t know what else to say. Try to understand what I am trying to say. They are ready to give me an apartment worth a crore rupee in the minimum.”Mom – What! A crore rupee! But why? Aman – They are looking for a kind of ghar jamai.She asked worriedly, “Have you said yes to them? Are you going to leave me and my home for them?”I replied to her in a soothing voice, “Mom, I am not going to leave you. They have also become ready to adjust you too in Delhi’s apartment.”Mom – Really? Aman – Yes, mom. Mom – But why are they doing this much for us? There must be a big problem that they have not told you.  Aman – No, mom. They have told me everything, even their big problems. Mom – What’s their problem? Aman – First of all, Madhumati, I mean the girl is the only child of her parents. Second, she is a divorcee and the third she is an average looking girl. Mom – Oh! But if you leave Punjab, you will lose your government job. What will you do there? Aman – I asked them the same question. That’s why they got ready to first give me legally their full apartment worth a crore rupee to me for my security. I clearly told them what if something bad happens between me and Madhumati after marriage, then I will not be able to earn my bread. Then they said to me all this. Moreover, the girl is also ready to help me to start my business in Delhi. They are ready to invest in my business. I mean, they are ready to do everything for me. Now, the ball is in my court. Mom – It would have been a great offer for you, if you were jobless. But now you are already a well settled man. Aman – But mom, just think, I can never save one crore rupee even after my retirement. And here by just marrying her, one crore rupee will be in my account and in just one shot. And I am a hard-working boy and I am just twenty-five, I can even earn many crores of rupees by my hard and smart work and with the help of Madhumati’s family. They are already rich. Mom – Hmm... Aman, think carefully. It’s not a small decision. It’s the most important decision of your life. And it’s irreversible! Once you leave your job, you can never get it again. Aman – I can understand the risk, mom. But see mom, just think from another angle. I have a government job, I have a small home. Right?Mom – Hmm..Aman – But my job and home is not enough for my marriage. Up to now, not even a single good match has come to us. No girl with a government job is ready to marry me! Actually, no girl wants to marry me who is good looking and normal. My value in the field of marriage is zero! It’s the first match that I got who has some value in it. Mom – Hmm...Aman – I know that even this match is not good for me. I am a bachelor and she is a divorcee. I am good looking and she has below average looks. But mom, she is working hard in her life. She has her own gym and coaching centre just in the age of nineteen! Their parents are very helpful. They are going to legally give me one apartment forever. What more we want? (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
