Chapter 3

Hi guys,I think I exceeded the word limit above so part of the entry got cut off.I've posted the rest of it here.

Chapter 1-continued

"Brar Saab, perhaps you should try talking to her before administering the punishment."

Jaspal looked up so fast that he had whiplash.His mother had actually tried defending her daughter against her husband.But then,it was also her favourite son's big day.She was bound to be happier and braver.

"No Jabjyot.We cannot let this slide.No matter how justified she is,she has no business behaving like a hooligan when there are more civilized ways to settle matters.Further more,she disrespected an elder today,her own aunt,for which she has to face the consequences."his declared.

Turning to him ,he continued,

"Jaspal,go and tell her that she is banned from attending the event today.She may amuse herself in her room and if she behaves,she may be let out tomorrow."

With that his parents and maasi walked away,leaving him to clean the mess as usual.

"Sukhdeep,please clean these mud tracks." he called.

Now he had to go and find his errant sister who would definitely not take her punishment lying down.

Such a beautiful start to the day,he thought wryly.

Note:Thank you for the response everyone.This is my first time writing on a public forum.I would really appreciate feedback as I want to improve my writing.

This is also my first time writing about a Sikh family.I'm trying to be as authentic as possible.Please do correct me if I make any errors.I find this an enjoyable learning experience.And I also apologize if I have offended anyone with my portrayal.
