Doosra koni lagna karshila (someone else will marry her)
"I am always going to be on your side" Neel served Nihar a pancake, Monday morning
School was starting in a week, and then 4 weeks later they were headed to Mumbai
"Khaana khayen aap" he urged his son
"Khaana nahi hai dad" Nihar said sulking
"I agree. Breakfast hai. Please eat" he urged
"Will u tell me why you are angry?"
Nihar looked at him like "Seriously? You dont know?"
Neel nodded
"You will no go on to remove all of Mom's pictures from the walls and she will never get talked about" he said beginning to cry
This whole thing it seemed like, was being needlessly thrust upon him
He was just now beginning to enjoy NOIDA
He hated the feelings he had to undergo at losing Nupur
Then the move from Mumbai
Then this house, the Delhi heat
And now that he had friends... the best he had ever had in his whole life
His Dad was going to be married
To a woman who he believed was barely a friend
To him it seemed like a brutal betrayal of whatever he shared with Suvechha
He didnt even understand how she could even agree to marry his Dad
Wasnt he already married to his Mom?
I mean sure... she wasnt there any more, but how could she come and live here
He began to cry when all these thoughts over powered him
"Listen" Neel purred ruffling his hair
"Lets go get u school shoes and soccer shoes" he said softly
"Buying me things is not going to make me happy" Nihar waved his fork
Neel bit his tongue
He was busted
This lighting-fast courtship did not make sense to him at all.
"Nihar, we either need to talk or you need to mellow down" he said wearily sitting down across from him
The helper cook lady wasnt here yet, in a way it was good
Nihar's tantrums were making him question his own convictions
He really didnt want to do that.
Suvi was honest, humble, down to earth and did not trash talk any one. She was almost too afraid, too guarded
She adored him, he could tell
Nihar had suddenly decided she wasnt even worthy of friendship leave alone play the part of a step mother
He missed Nupur
He thought he was going crazy for a second... when he wished Nupur could convince Nihar to accept Suvechha
Oh god... I am going crazy
Neel shut his eyes and made a face
Nihar spotted the grimace
"U dont like me any more?" he asked shocked
"Niharrr" Neel exhaled
Reaching out pulling the boy towards him and hugging the stiff human
"I dont know how to convince you. I dont know what I can even say to you. I dont know if you will even understand it.
I miss your Mom" he said choking up
"Then why are u marrying her?" he asked
"Its not so simple"
"For me it is" Nihar claimed
Neel nodded in reverence
He always shared a great relationship with Nihar, they were open and communicative. It had all suddenly turned confrontational the last couple months
Now there was no common ground left
There was only Suvechha in between
"I like being with her. She is friendly and makes me smile" he said explaining in a child appropriate way
Nihar looked at him in a confused way
"Preet aunty is nice" he reminded
He nodded
Bua is too" he said
Neel nodded
"then? You dont need her" Nihar smiled for the first time
"Oh but I do" Neel interrupted before Nihar could relax and end the convo
Nihar pulled away
"We have aunty that cooks for us" "We have Preet aunty" he reiterated
"Umm...I am not sure how to explain it all right now. But I think you need to give her a chance" Neel said quietly
Nihar's tears returned
"I cant... I dont know how" he said, his lips trembling, his shoulders slumping
Nihar just sat down and began to eat quietly
He wiped his tears in a frustrated way and looked at him and asked "Bua didnt marry first and then have an engagement" he said
He was basically saying how can Neel marry so soon
"Maybe because I like her a lot?" Neel said helplessly
"If you dont marry her some one else will?" Nihar asked like Suvi was the last Nike shirt on the store shelf, or the last soccer ball in the sporting goods store
"Shaayad" Neel nodded... he was sure about that
