Chapter 48: chapter 48

I thought, “Oh God! Again, the super boring answer. All girls are the same! No difference at all! All want to enjoy their lives, all want to have cars and big houses in their lives, all want that their husbands must take care of their parents. It’s very boring. But none of them has said that they want to be a good wife. Huh!”Aman – Okay, I got what you mean. Shilpi – You got me so easily! How? I haven’t explained myself properly yet. Aman – Okay, if you want to explain yourself more, you can. But I have understood everything about you. Shilpi – Really? Aman – Yeah. Shilpi – Why am I feeling that you are sounding a bit rude? Aman – Oh, I am extremely sorry. I am not saying anything in a rude way. Actually, I was just trying to bring out some new points. Shilpi – New points! I am not a science book and you are not going to give any exam tomorrow that you are looking for new points! I thought, “Oh gosh! Everything is getting topsy turvy! What the hell is coming out from my mouth! My frustration is taking over me! It’s a clear-cut indication of that. Control Aman, control!”I said in a very polite voice, “Shilpi, I have understood you. As you have no brother, you are worried about your parents. You want to take care of your parents even after your marriage. And you are absolutely right. If you don’t take care of your parents then who will take care of them?”Shilpi – Yeah, I am the youngest daughter. My elder sisters will marry and will settle in the houses of their husbands. But I am the youngest. I have to shoulder the responsibilities of my parents. Aman – Are your elder sisters married? Shilpi – Not yet. Aman – Then how will you marry now? Shilpi – You mean? Aman – Normally, in our society, first of all only the elder sisters get married then comes the turn of the younger ones. And you are the youngest one. Your turn will be the last. Shilpa – No, it’s not like that in my house. I can marry earlier than my older sisters. Aman – Really? Shilpa – Yeah, seriously. I can marry before them. My parents have no problem with it. Aman – Oh, okay. Are you looking for ghar jamai (a husband who lives in the house of his wife along with her parents.)? If yes, I can also become ghar jamai...I thought, “Oh my God! What the hell I said! Today, what has happened to me? Why am I running so fast? How can I ask her directly about becoming a ghar jamai? Today, it’s really a bad day for me!”Shilpa – What? Do you want to be a ghar jamai? We don’t want a ghar jamai in our house!Aman – Oh, okay. I just said so because you were saying that you want to take care of your parents even after your marriage. Her voice became a bit rude, “But I can also take care of my parents being in my husband’s house.”Aman – Yes, It's also right. I said to myself, “Now, I have to do something to change her mood. Otherwise, she will kick me out of her life soon. One or two stupid words more and I am out of her life!”Cunningly I asked, “Hey, what about your mom? You haven’t told me anything about your mom yet.” I asked her about her mom because girls love to talk about their moms. I already knew the answer was going to be hell boring but I had no option. She smiled and said, “Aww... Well, my mom is really a cool woman. She has spent her full life in taking care of me, my sisters and my dad. She is very understanding. Sometimes, she scolds us but only for our good. You know what, Aman, she never did any job in her life because she wanted to take care of us.”I said to myself within my mind, “Stupid girl, your mother didn’t do any job because she didn’t want to work hard. She wanted to keep her life easy because she knew that her husband was bringing a big amount of money per month in her home. Huh!”Aman – Shilpi, your mom is really great! She has sacrificed her whole life for her family. Shilpi – Yes, true. That’s why now I want to become a boy and take care of her and my dad. Now, I want to see them happy and relaxed in their lives. I will not let them face any difficutly now. Aman – Good thinking. She smiled cordially and said, “Thanks.” Aman – Hmm... So, can we meet? Shilpi – What?I said to myself, “Stupid Aman, again you rushed! Today, you are going to get a nice thrash from me!”Aman – I thought I am from Bathinda and you from Mansa. We are not living very far away from each other. We can meet. We can see each other. It will become easy for us. Don’t you think so? Shilpi – But I don’t even know you. How can I meet you directly? We are talking first time on the internet. Aman – Hey! I am not asking you to meet alone. We will meet in a public place. It will be safe for both of us. Shilpi – You mean anywhere in park?Aman – Yeah, park will also work. Shilpi – But I don’t want to meet you in the park. Aman – I can also come to your home, if you want? I said to myself, “Oh! What the hell! Aman, today, you have crossed all your limits! Control stupid! I don’t know today where such stupid words are coming from?”Shilpi – No! How can you come to my home directly? I haven’t even talked to my parents about you yet!Aman – Oh, I am sorry. I said so because we are talking on a genuine topic of marriage. We are neither wasting our time nor cheating our parents. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
