Chapter 2

I…I don’t wanna get married

What? But why? Heyy wait, is there someone you like? Asked Soha

No…Nothing like that.

Then? Why don’t you want to marry?

Soha, how can my parents do this to me? how can they arrange my marriage without my knowledge? They know it very well that I don’t want to live here. But still they arranged this marriage. And after wedding I have to live here for rest of my life. I can’t go back to UK if I get married now. Am not used to this place. I can’t live here.

Ooh, come on Jiya. It’s not a big deal. Every girl should go to her husband’s place someday no matter what and who they are.

Jiya… listen to me, just calm down and think why do your parents do this if its not good for you? I have known you and your family for a long time. Your parents will never do anything which will make you sad. Am sure they are doing this for your own good. They might have thought about it.

When comes to place, why are you thinking that this place wont suits you? You can get a good job here too. You can have as much as freedom you had in UK. The most important thing is you can also have your parents around.

I don’t know anyone here. I will be feeling lonely. And the customs of here… I know nothing about it.

Hey have you forgotten that this is my home town? I will be back within half year and about customs you will get to know about it little by little.

Of course, I agree. But…. am getting married tomorrow yet, I don’t even know anything about the person am getting married to. We don’t love each other and we don’t know each other’s likes and dislikes...

Soha interrupted and said

You don’t even hate each other. Do you? Raised eyebrow

No..

Ooh dear, don’t get yourself worked up finding ways to reject this wedding.

Actually, didn’t you find it interesting?

Marrying a person from totally different world. Each and every day will be a thrill. Knowing each other’s intrests, food habits, finding a new thing every time, sharing opinions… don’t you think it will be exciting?

If you know everything about the person there will be no surprises, no excitements moreover there will be no reality in that relation. In order to impress other both will pretend according to the intrest of other one. That will be more like a contract than a relation to work according to other party intrests to get mutual benefits.

In my view, it is not that important to know each other completely to start a relation. There’s whole life to know each other. Once we get to know any person completely, we may feel bored. Even some times we feel like everything is going according to others wish.

~Just then someone knocks the door~

Let me open the door.

Jiya opens the door and a maid is standing there.

Young lady, Mam asked you to come down for dinner. Said in a polite manner.

Ok you may go and tell my mom that we will be there shortly.

~Close the door~

Jiya, just once think with a cool mind and I hope you can accept this relation with whole heart.

Ok let’s go aunty will be waiting.
