Chapter 87: chapter 87

When she laughed in the end, it was a green signal for me and I understood in no time that she was loving the conversation. I was left with no option but to continue indecent talks since I wanted to attract her towards me for marriage. We went on talking throughout the whole night. This time she didn’t yawn even for a second but felt sleepy many times. And I had to wash my eyes and face again and again to stay awake and make her happy and to show her that I would always be there for you. The Next DayI don’t know how she managed to go to her school but I had to take a leave. I woke up hardly at 10 a.m. and I had never woken up so late in my life. It was the first time I was experiencing this and obviously, it was not a good feeling. My body had become passive. My head was aching. My eyes were burning. I tried to get up from my bed but my body had become too lazy to move. I thought, “A lover’s life is also not great. When I didn’t have any girlfriend, I would think lovers must be enjoying a lot. And now,I have a girlfriend, just within one day, all my blood is sucked out. Yeah, I enjoyed talking to her but not at the cost of my body! Uff!”I tried several times and finally I succeeded in getting up. I freshened myself up. Even after taking showers and drinking a cup of tea, I was not feeling well. Perhaps, it was my first time talking to my girlfriend throughout the whole night. Suddenly one thought crossed my mind, “Do I have to talk to her daily for the whole night?” A chill ran down my spine. Then the second thought struck my mind, “Aman, if you want to marry then you have to take care of her. And now you have understood pretty well how to take care of a girl, specifically Hemlatta!”I felt like reading something so that I may come out of the zone of boyfriend-girlfriend. I went to the market and purchased a local newspaper. First, I sent some good morning messages to Hemlatta. I didn’t want to send them but I thought if I didn’t send that she might get hurt. I didn’t like the feeling I was in. I started reading the newspaper over a cup of tea. At once, my eyes fell on the matrimonial column of the newspaper. Perhaps, out of habit, I started reading it because I had been reading only these things in newspapers nowadays, hehe. One matrimonial ad seemed to be very interesting. It read, “23/5.2 an orphan girl, looking for a groom.” And then her mobile number was written. Nothing else was written in her ad. I thought, “This girl is an orphan girl. She has mentioned it very clearly. Normally, nobody wants to marry such a girl. But it’s not a problem for me. I can marry her. Even my mom will certainly have no problem with it.”“One, marrying an orphan girl is a noble act. Second, she has no one in her life. If I marry her then it will be only me who will be her husband, her friend and her everything. The possibility is that she will love me more than I can love her! I think I should go for her. Let’s talk to her. Let’s see what my life has in store for me.”I called her and she picked up my phone. I said, “Hello, my name is Aman. I am from Bathinda, a government teacher. I read your ad in the newspaper and that’s why I called you.”The girl - Okay. My name is Seema Chawla and I work in a call center. Aman - Okay, good. So, what type of boy are you looking for?Seema - I am just looking for a good boy. Aman - You have mentioned in your matrimonial ad that you are an orphan… I am sorry. Perhaps, I should have not asked this question. Seema - No, it’s okay. You must ask this question. Actually, I have lost my mom and dad. Aman - What happened to them?Seema - My dad died of a heart attack and my mom died of cancer. Aman - Oh, it’s very sad. I am sorry. Seema - It’s okay. Aman - And what about your brothers and sisters?Seema - I have only one brother. He is married and you know after marriage a brother is no more a brother. Aman - Means?Seema - It means that after marriage a brother becomes a husband and a husband always follows his wife, not his sister. Now, he doesn’t even telephone me. Aman - Oh, it’s very bad. I don’t know how brothers do such a thing after marriage. Seema - Actually, it happens with all. Out of 100 brothers 99 brothers change. They stop paying attention to their parents and their brothers and sisters. Even if they don’t want to change their behaviour, their wives force them to do so. Aman - But still, I can’t believe it. The final decision is always with a husband. If he doesn’t want to change then how can his wife force him to change?Seema - It happens. You can’t understand now. And I came to know about your marital status also. You are unmarried.Aman - How come you know? Seema - Because of your talks. Aman - And what’s about your marital status?Seema - I am a widow.Aman - Oh! Seema - What happened? Don’t you want to marry a widow? Is there anything wrong with marrying a widow?Aman - No, no. There is nothing wrong with it. Seema - Hmm…Aman - By the way, what happened to your husband?Seema - He was suffering from a stomach’s infection for a long time. And one day, he passed away. Aman - Oh, it’s really very sad. And what about your father-in-law and mother-in-law?Seema - They are not living with me.(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
