Chandan ka palna - Page 47

Time and Timeline are fuzzy words. In the vaidyas conversation reflected is the weight that gets saddled to timeline. Parivaar and parampara are again heavy weight terms as are traditions and culture. It's an uphill struggle to achieve a working balance that can still keep them be called as one parivaar. They have
Lost a son , probably because they were a little behind with times. The loss was a huge price to pay. They hope to have learnt from that but it's struggle as to where to draw the line. Legacy as honarable a word is also a responsibility that can blur between being a burden. Would Harit have taken to defense as a career option ? Would the sons or daughter in law want their mom and dad to be more inclusive ... may be!!

Because if families have to be one, living together as joint, space in relationships is a must for multi generational lining. The vaidyas have to plough through this.

Moving on, I'm itching for Avantika to get pounded by the chatter around him... where the din makes her momentarily forget about chandan and think about him and herself because it's that time. 😳

Sorry

We woke real early Sat morning

I went to bed early

I will write the shaadi now

👍🏼 Dil maange more and more.

I am also waiting for the time when teeku will see a bus full of her groom's friends whom she had considered boring and non talkative...
How will she react when she will meet all of them
😆

Blacks and Greys

This was the wedding of the year in Roorkee. Even the local Dainik Hindustan had talked about it on a Page 3 blurb three days in a row for some reason or another. The weddding guests wore designer outfits and got off fleets of Mercs and Porsches.

The bride was ensconced in a 3^rd floor room at the farm house trying on underskirts for her lehenga

"Hum kitni baar kahe inko, saree pehan na seekh lengi Himani was not happy

"MAAA... hum abhi yeh try kar rahe hain, please don't stress me out. I feel fat already Avantika moaned

"Quit the drama. Ma sahi keh rahin hai, kal raat ko Alka Bhabhi ka phone aaya Bani Bhabhi ko she said "Hope she knows how to wear a saree, we find reasons to wear a saree almost every day

"Humse yeh umeed nahi karenge, hum Dilli reh chuke hain Avantika said dismissively

"DILLI reh chuki hain na, Dusseldorf to nahi? Himani scoffed

"Ma aajkal koi nahi pehanta sariyan Avantika paused knotting up the skirt and chose to rant to her Mom

"Yeh arranged marriage hai Teeku, aapko Dad ne kaha koi hai to batayen, aapne kaha nahi, humne baat yaha tay kar dee Himani reviewed how it went by repeating it

"Ma, Chandan hai waha, hum CHANDAN ke liye kar rahe hain shaadi cornered, Avantika lashed out

"Dheere TEEKU meeta hissed shocked

The salon girls and the make up help and the random cousins were a few feet away

Avantika teared up

"I have to get married. I cannot live without Chandu. You all did your horoscope thing so I agreed she spoke between whimper

"achha pleez betu ro nahi Himani hugged her daughter

"Ma yeh wahan jaakar sabko yeh kahengi ki Chandan ki wajah se Harit se kar rahi hain shaadi to kya sochenge? Meeta was astounded

"waise HE is also not marrying me because it was love at first sight or we were good in bed Avantika hissed back breathlessly

"Stop it... Just stop it Himani ordered

"Ma its an arranged marriage Teeku argued

"It IS but the total lack of involvement and enthusiasm was bothering me until last night, right now its terrifying me Himani choked up her eyes big and fearful

Teeku lowered her gaze, unable to meet her mother's eyes

"Teeku... aap baat sunen Meeta whispered in a conciliatory tone

She pulled the young girl toward her

"Just because Hemant was a lawyer and you had no topic to connect with him on. And he was the quiet type, doesn't mean Harit will be that way

"No Bhabhi... hum itne bewakoof hain kya? Humne dekha na unko, ek mahiney mein black pant, black tee, he has nothing to say. Except at the court room Avantika hissed

Himani's face was pale

"To aapne karne ki koshish ki baat?

"About what Ma... music... TV shows? "He just looks boring Avantika said sadly

"So? Meeta held her breath

"Ive just made peace with it. I will marry him. But I wont worry what he likes or not likes... at some point his wardrobe of just blacks and greys will quit affecting me "He walked over to the kid's school and drove off with my... umm.. Chandan "Only people that are completely insensitive do thatshe said flatly

Himani was itching to give her a sound lecture about what such fatalistic thought will do to a marriage, and how she is using her resentment of Harit's actions to be so stoic about her impending marriage

Himani always feared Teeku's unusual obsession and love for the child will result in heartbreak of some sort

But had never in her wildest dreams thought the heartbreak would come in the form of a cynical attitude towards her own marriage

Wow Nisha 👏

This chapter made me emotional. Avantika is making peace with her decision. Though as a reader I know it is all going to turn out ok for her, still when I was reading, I was able to picture her state. That's the power of your writing. 👍🏼

Wowww Nisha !!!

The update tugged my heart. I feel so sad for Avantika. She wants fun, happiness. She believes she can't find it with him. Hmmm ...She is characterizing him based on what she has seen of Hemant.

No honeymoon, him going to work right away are not going to help the cause.

Hmmm ... waiting for the Cupid's magic wand

Oh my God! finally she speaks her mind. certainly feel for her and am quite speechless just like Himani as to what such thoughts and beliefs will do to her marriage.ab to bas Harit baabu hi koi jadu Karen .

and for all you know she might get comfortable and enjoy the company of black and white's fun loving friends, much to the utter chagrin of lawyer babu...jale par namak chhirakne jaisa ho jayega!

lovely updates Nisha...

I feel really bad for the parents-both sides. It is all well and good to say arranged marriage but no parent wants to have a marriage go bad for their kid. At least Teeku seems to realize that if she wants Chandan she had to make this choice, what about Harit? Do we get to see his motivation for this wedding?

True ... this is not a business dealing. Even though Sita ram suggested the alliance amidst Chandan custody, they all seem genuine people wanting both Harit and Avantika to be happy.

I feel for Himani and Lakshmi as well. Getting a daughter married away is itself a big proposition. With her going in disinterested and questioning the choice of groom is horrific for any mom. I can't imagine being in Himani's shoe.
