Marriage proposal

A marriage proposal 

Sanyogita returns home and sees her father sitting in the living room talking with his works on the mobile.

Almost ignoring his presence she looked forward to her bedroom. 

Rishav disconnected the call and told his man “ Meeraj asked her why she came so late. Is it time to return home ?!!

Sanyogita heard it, a sarcastic chuckle crept to her lips, she spun around before word could be exchanged “ Mr. Goel since when you are so concerned about your daughter !?? “

Rishav looked at Sanyogita with narrow eyes “It was ten in the night where you were so long?"

“ Mr. Goel, your daughter is alive, she didn't die. I know you will never let me die. So why are you worried??”

“Sandy !!! “ Is it the Manner to speak to your father?? Mr. Goel stood up on his knees 

“ Stop addressing me Sandy, those who love me can call me by this name only !" “

" So you mean I didn't love you! “The corners of Rishav ’s eyes crinkled with a mixture of dry humor and hurt 

Sanyogita laughed a little without paying attention to his father's emotion “ Mr. Goel you only love yourself, your business, your emperor, and your money. In your life so many things are there so how could you get a room for your daughter! “

" Sanyogita behaved yourself. I gave everything of mine to you. My status, business, Empire for everything you will be the heirs after I die “

" No Mr. Goel what I lost you never return those to me. You couldn't afford that not even any Richie rich of this world can give back that to me. “ Sanyogita gritted back with clenched teeth and continued with hatred “Talking about the money you can even make palace after palace I will not give a shif about that Mr. Goel"

Rishav's vision was pierced, but his lips stayed sealed … 

Sanyogita stared at her father. She knew all her words were stabbing her father's and she hated herself for behaving harshly with her father. But she still hates him as a man like him didn't deserve to be a father. She spun around and began to take steps toward the stairs.

“ So what do you want?? Did you make up your mind not to leave your father in peace?? 

As a Storm Sanyogita turned around completely “ Mr. Goel I'm giving exactly what God himself even failed to give to you. I'm giving you pain which you have never encountered in your life “Sanyogita's eyes were getting moistened but she held back those tears which she rarely showed to anyone. 

Rishav's eyes were bloodshot, he was taking rapid breaths to engulf the outrage of him inside. 

“ Mr. Goel you have an ocean of Money that none of your brotherhood along with finished it in their whole life but but… but… you will never be a real father because for that need heart and unfortunately you don't have it” Sanyogita shrugged her shoulders, bending both hands on either side of her wrists in the air. 

“Sandyyyy” Rishav's high pitch reverberated through the corner of the wall of Goel villa.

Sanyogita, dropped her hand back on either side of her waist, and stared at her father as it was. She was about to leave but right then heard her father say her Nanny

“ Nishita told her to be ready by tomorrow morning. Soon the groom's side will come to see her! “

Sanyogita spun around in confusion" Wait wait.. what did you say ..?? groom?? Who gorom? And for whom? And they will see me?? 

“ Yes, Baby .. Mr. Goel has chosen a suitor for you and he is a very rich businessman Mr.. Pr..

Sanyogita stopped Nishitha “ Stop, I don't have any minor bit of interest to hear who he is .. whether he is a Richie rich or the king of the world. My answer will be the same .. No “

Nishita glared at Sanyogita and she thought through the word "the king of the world" Both meanings are the same although her assumption was right.

“Nishita told your baby whether she agreed or didn't give consent for the marriage, this wedding will happen anyhow. If she thinks she will do something else to spoil it like the past then I'll do things which I haven't done yet. If she thinks of burning this entire house She will have to get ready for this marriage. And don't try to do anything idiotic to threaten us, because if she thinks that yet she has to marry this time. And I will hear no excuses “

Nishita shivered after hearing Rishav's frustration . 

Sanyogita glared at her father who left her clueless “What do you mean ??… Mr. Will Goel answer me??? “"

“ Mr. Goel Answer meeeeeeee??????" “" “" “" Sanyogita’s screaming was reverberating in the corner of the Goel villa. 

Rishav left the place without thinking about seeing her reaction. He knew she would be fuming in anger and would start to break stuff in her bedroom.

Sanyogita stared at Nishita who was shivering before her rage. Sanyogita’s vision was as if she would cut Nishita into pieces. She closed her eyes in disgust and turned to look forward to her bedroom.

… … … … 

Prithvi the night was busy talking about the next project in the call, in the middle his mother came and asked him in a tinge of humour

“ Nawab Sahab, if you had finished your work could you pay attention to your mother for just a minute!! “" 

Prithvi removed his Bluetooth from his ear and disconnected the call. He made a face upon the dramatic typical Indian maternal dialogue

“ Mom, Don't address me like this. I didn't like it at all!" He put his right hand in his pocket and while continuing sipping the coffee, by holding the handle of the coffee mug in the grab of his right finger. 

Pranali began in a dramatic voice “ Beta , I wanted to discuss an important matter with you. I visited the NGO last week. It was an amazing experience. Bhagwan na jane kaise kaise roop mein aake khushiyan kholi mein bhad de ta hai… 

Prithvi’s eyes squint at his mother's affirmations. Nevertheless, he heard her still. 

“ I'm so glad to meet Sharada this time..she lightened the burden of my heart by helping me… Finally, I found a bride for yopranali'si’s eyes were beaming load of happiness 

Prithvi started to cough while drinking so much coffee

“ Mom what did you say?? You ultimately want me to get married to Sharada Aunty.. she is fifty plus by age , did you know about that”" 

"What!!!” Pranali's eyes went round, she looked at her son with a gap" Ram Ram Ram!!… why will I tell you to get married to Sharada… .I'm talking about a girl about whom Sharada informed me and her name is Sa…”

Prithvi rolled his eyes in confusion and said “ Mom please I want to hear nothing about who she found for me…I don't want to marry right now!"

“ I know beta you will get married when I leave this world," Pranali remarked as a paste of dramatic disappointment 

“ Momm, I told you not to talk to me like this. I hate emotional blackmailing you're aware of it   " Prithvi gave a " you are impossible” gesture his eyes

“ why not ?? Since the last two years, you have rejected that no. Of girls that even girls will fall short before rejecting a proposal! “ Pranali Quipped

Prithvi didn't smile at his mother's joke 

" Okay let's be serious, you're 30 ,now and soon you will be 31 by this year , in the Dec , before that please get married beta.. unless you will remain a lifelong brahmachari! “

Prithvi started at his mother having a peculiar expression 

“ Pls, beta look at her and meet her just once. I chose her this time Panditji didn't give information about me. I met her in an NGO in Indore .. pls beta manja “

" Mom, seeing my busy days she will be offended and will also file for divorce and you know the amount of charge they will ask in divorce. She will definitely ask for beyond 50% share of this company in divorce “ Prithvi finished his coffee

Pranali kept her palm over his mouth “ Haye Ram!!! divorce kyun hoga…divorce hoga mere dushman ka…beta marriage is essential for all human beings. Marriage is one of the crucial parts of our life. We all need a companion in our journey. Maybe you can achieve the entire thing like your name but when you return home on the day of work you need a family and as you grow older everyone might leave except your better half. She is just a different beta. She didn't have any greediness for money. Inspite of being a daughter of a rich businessman, she leads a simple life. Kitni pyari bachi hai.. bado ka samman, agya karte hai… nowadays we hardly have seen such a girl. She even liked to hear your favourite singer's song , the immortal Kishore Kumar's “

Prithvi looked at his mother dumbstruck, the last line surprised him more, her mom selected a girl based on his favourite singer.

” Mom, for that what's the need to get married, you are all with me so I don't need anyone else. And I rarely could give time to attend any family function, after upbringing a woman into will add headache into my brain”

“ You think that we are all a headache in your life!" Pranali was hurt a little bit

Prithvi stared at his mother in disbelief “ Mom I didn't mean that!

" Then tell me what did you exactly mean? “ Pranali sided her face to other side 

“ Mom, we are a happy family now . Bringing an outsider girl , will separate us . People are getting divorced like a fashion trend nowadays “

“ Beta why are you focusing on the other side of it? Tell me did I make a mistake by choosing your father . “ word slipped out from her mouth abruptly

Prithvi stared at her mother , remaining silent as usual. 

“ I know he became depressed, developed an alcohol addiction, and became mad later because of the consistent loss in business. But I can tell you for sure I was happy with him and I wish I could help him in his mental breakdown. “

Prithvi hugged his mother tightly, released her mother's chest, and grew tight.“ I know you would. And we have great parents we can say “

Pranali’s head pulled back as she looked upon her six-foot-tall, strong muscular Gym body buildup son “ Then said about your sister, did she too make a mistake by marrying your brother-in-law? She has a 4-year-old kid and is living happily with her in-laws. Did she conspire to separate her in-laws?? ”

Prithvi went speechless before his mother assertion 

“ Because you have given us a good lesson regarding life “

“ then heard your mother’s wishes. Be your Mom's good boy"

Prithvi glared at his mother “You're impossible"

Pranali grinned " I knew!! So meet her tomorrow “

" Mom I have to visit Hong Kong 5 in the evening for a business deal “

“Okay beta then meet her from 12 to 3 in the afternoon . I asked Sujoy he said you haven't any important work at that time “

" No we have a conference in our office “ 

" Prithvi !" “

" Okay for thirty minutes"

“ you will be going to meet your would-be wife for 30 mins introduction"

“ Mom I haven't given my consent for the wedding" 

“ Okay okay beta 2 hours . Cancel the conference for tomorrow"

“ no Mom..one hour just "

Pranali was about to open her mouth but Prithvi's mobile started vibrating. He keeps himself busy on his in calling. 

… … … … .. 

Sanyogita locked herself inside and started to break things, a flower vase and she broke the mirror of the desinger dressing tables, and glass smashed into pieces fell on the ground like.

“ I will not marry anyone, Mr.Goel you can't do this to me !!!! I hate youuuuu Mr. Goelllllll… .. I hate youuuuuuu!!!! .Mr. Goel you are sooooo muchhhh Cruel!!!! You can't force me for marriage!!!“" “" “Sanyogita’s loud screaming mixed with cracking of voice. A stream of salty water began to flood over her cheeks. Her nostrils were flaring and inflating in heat. 

Nishita along with two other caretakers of Sanyogita were standing outside the bedroom.

Nishita warns the new worker who has joined recently “ Don't go inside if you love yourself. Unless baby will make a football of your brain”

“ Mr. Goel your the gaberrrrrrrr Singhhhhhhhh offffffff myyyyyyyy lifeeeeeeeeee “ Sanyogita's screaming came out of the door. 

Nishita locked the door from the outside. They kept their ear once on the door then pulled back after hearing her shouting which seemed to them as louder as an amplifier speaker. She knew whenever Sanyogita got angry she began to smash stuff. And Mr. Goel as usual told his men to replace the broken thing with a new one. 

“ Hey, Mata Rani..na Jane Jin ke saath Inka Vivah hoga na unke kismat mein kya likha hai! “"

" Why are you saying that… you don't know baby, that's why you're saying it like this. But I know her. Baby didn't have a good relationship with her father. Apart from him, she is very sweet to everyone! “

" Why so?" “the new worker asked, and she sounded interested in knowing about the family history of Sanyogita. 

" Because Baby lost her mother at a very early age when she was 15 years old. Baby’s mother and father don't have a good married life. That's why she might be depressed. And baby thinks her father is the reason behind her mother's death”

" But why Mr. Goel doesn't have a good relationship with his wife? “"

“ Shhh!!! Never ask this question again in this house unless God knows what will happen to you! Nishita warns her helpmate.

… … 

Here inside, Sanyogita whimpers in her bedroom. She recalled her mother “ Mom why did you leave me !! I don't want to live here !!! I found it so difficult to breathe in this toxic environment. Mom, what will I do?!! Tears trickle down from Sanyogita’s swollen eyes to cheeks. 

Amidst her spiralled situation someone faces a flash before her eyes. Only the smile of that person was enough to tickle her skin. Her first love is Yash. He understood her.

She wiped her face and called him without thinking further, a robotic fellow voice answered on the phone “ The number you have dialled is currently switched off please try again later"

The same robotics voice answered the phone call, the number of times Sanyogita pressed the red button.

She thought to WhatsApp him and text him but there was no response from him.

She called on the member of his band, Avijit 

“ Hi, Avi. How are you??

" I'm absolutely fine dear. What came ?"

“ Avi has to know any update about Yash ?"

" No dear!

“ I visited his residency where he used to live but the neighbour said he had to leave three days ago. Did you know anything?

“ Ohh I see, maybe he gets busy with something. Don't worry If I get any update regarding Yash I'll let you know about it! 

“ Thanks Avi"

"Thank me when I give you information about his whereabouts “

Sanyogita smiled a little.

The call was disconnected by Avijit .

Sanyogita was confused and also very worried about Yash's sudden disappearance.

She didn't know what she would do next. How she would escape our form the mug up things .

After a quiet moment of serious thinking she decided to call another person, it was her bestie, Mayuri 

After five times ringing with Bollywood music answer comes from the other side

“ Hey babes" “ the voice was flirting yet sweet 

" Maur?

“ Hey Ballo darling, you seem panicked. Who dares to give stress to my darling? “" Mauryi realised her bestie's voice was the undertone. Even she heard her exhaling forcefully as if her nostrils were plugged with mucus that proved she had been crying for so long. 

 “ Maur… Dad has selected a suitor for me!!"

“ So what .. reject him as usual!" “

" Noo.. He told me to I have to do this marriage even my against will “ Her voice sounds whispering

“ Oh My Gosh!!!! but why ..??? He is your Dad right he can't do this to his daughter!" “

" On the biggest, worst truth of my life .. he is my Dad. My villain. You know him how dangerous he is if he tells me he will never stop till he reaches his mission “

" Did you tell him about Yash? “"

“ No … I don't want to keep his life in danger . You know Dad can reach to any extent to accomplish his motive "

“ ohh… The. What will we do?

" That's why I called you?? I tried to contact Yash but he isn't here, not even answering my calls and replying to messages. I'm very very worried about him . I can't marry anyone except him”

" I can understand this yaa.. okay let me think for a few minutes!

“Hmm.. “ Sanyogita nodded her head 

After a quiet pause sound came from the other side of the phone … 

“ Sandy, I got an idea!

" Brilliant.. love you bro tell! “" 

Mayuri found it more difficult after hearing the excitement of her bestie, she hesitated first and closed her eyes before speaking

" Did you know who your suitor is?

“ I don't know and I don't have an interest in him!! She said in disgust

“Okay.. As usual, I knew it. Anyway.. Sandy whatever I'm going to tell you listen to me first then react

" What are you saying so .. don't ask me to jump from our house … I can't do that .. !!

“ haat paagal why will I say so… listen to me first . You and I know that if by chance you break this marriage your Dad will bring another boy for you. Maybe he will hold the marriage before letting you know. ‘

“ then..

" In that case give consent for this marriage

" Whatttttt!!!!!... Are you out of your mind???? Sanyogita was holding her breath to control the rising frustration of her best buddy. 

“ noo.. just think about it carefully. If you get married you'll be free. I didn't advise you to lead a domestic life with the boy. 

Just goes with the flow. Start to work on your dream after that your Dad will not be the biggest obstacle to your destination. We all know that almost all Businessmen have three to four extramarital affairs in life and they are hardly loyal to their wives. So you can ask for a divorce after marriage and by doing so you can claim a huge amount of money “

There was a pause.

For a few minutes, Sanyogita remained silent as if her brain was taking time to register each word suggested by Mayuri. 

“ Hello, . Are you there ??" “Mayuri’s voice coming out from the speaker

" Yeah… " Sanyogita responds after landing back from her depth of thinking.

“ Sandy?"

“ yea.. I can't do that Yaar. It will be a stabbing for Yash. I can betray my love."

“ Sandy.. I'm not telling to leave Yash . Where is he btw..?? Did he take a stand for anything?? You need him most in this vital situation of yours!!"

Sanyogita stayed silent.

“ Sandy .. Jo mujhe bolna tha I said that to you.. now it's your choice.. best of luck" 

Mayuri was about to hang up the call she heard 

" I'll not take money first of all. And I need to discuss this with Yash. What exactly do he want?? This is about our future! ‘

“ Okay… but one thing I'm telling you I'll always be with you. You can trust your bestie “

Mauyri could feel her best friend smiling soothingly on the other side. 

… … … 

The whole night Sanyogita couldn't think about closing her eyelids.. She was twisting on either side of the bed.

One time she thinks about Yash, on the other side she thinks about herself and then about her suitors, she can't use anyone for her motive.

Again she thinks about the suggestion of Mayuri.

And think about her dream. 

In the morning, everyone was having breakfast.

The cup with which Nishita was sipping tea slipped from her grip upon hearing Sanyogita telling her father

“ Dad I'm ready for this marriage" 

Rishav who was going through the daily news, in the sports section, drew his attention from the article to meet gaze with his daughter.

His expression was blank.
