Seema - Since they were not happy with our marriage, they left me but my husband and I were very happy with each other but unfortunatelyâ¦
Aman - I can understand.
I took a short pause and said, âSo what do you expect from your husband?â
Seema - I have already told you that I just want a good boy to marry and nothing else.
Aman - I mean how much family income are you expecting or what should be the salary of your husband?
She said, showing that she didnât have any interest in money, âNo, no, I donât have any specific expectation. He should just be able to run home. Thatâs all. By the way, what do you do?â
I answered, âI am on a government job.â
She quickly said, âThatâs okay for me.â
I thought, âEverybody knows that a government employee earns good money every month. So itâs obvious that you are okay with it.â
She continued, âThe boss of my company is very nice. He treats me like her daughter. He takes care of me. He will also handle my marriage. If you want to marry me, then you have to meet my boss. He will do everything that a girlâs dad does. He is a father figure to me.â
Aman - Oh, good.
She asked me, âSo when are you coming?â
I got confused about what to say to her now. I thought, âSo far, I havenât seen in you anything that I should think of marrying you. I am a bachelor and you are a widow. I am on a government job and you donât even have a good job.â
She said, pulling me out of my thoughts, âYou havenât answered me.â
I faked a smile and said, âFirst, I have to talk to my mom and tell her everything about you. If she gives me permission, then I will surely come to you.â
She said, âHmm⦠okay.â
After the silence of a couple of seconds, I asked her, âBy the way, are you getting calls from other people also?â
She said in a gloomy tone, âYes, I am getting a lot of calls from other people but all of them want me to become their girlfriend. No one was serious for marriage. All of them are time passers.â
I said, âI can understand. How many serious calls have you got so far?â
She said honestly, âOnly one and thatâs yours.â
I said, surprised, âOh!â
I thought, âWhen people read that she is alone and she has no one to look after her, they are trying to flirt with her because they know no one will beat them. This world is very cruel, man!â
She said, âSo?â
I said smilingly, âI think you have told me everything about yourself. If you can send your snaps, then I can show your snaps to my mom.â
She said, âYeah, sure. You also sent your snaps to me.â
I said, âOkay.â
I thought, âI have decided. I canât marry you. Well, letâs see how you look. And donât worry, I will also send my snap to you. I donât want to make you feel bad.â
After a minute, I received her snap on my mobile. I downloaded it and clicked on it. She was a fluffy girl, her looks were below average. Her complexion was white but facial features were not good. Her stomach was also bulging out. She was a little bulky.
I thought, âOh, you are not even beautiful. But even if you were beautiful, even then I would have rejected you. I am sorry. You seem to be a good girl and honest too. But I donât feel like marrying you. And my mom will also never agree.â
I texted her, âI will talk to my mom and let you know.â Her reply came, âOkay.â
Obviously, I never texted her.
