"Sorry Daarji'."
Her voice echoed in the hall of Handa Haveli but she did not receive much except some couple of sighs in return which were probably emitted by her parents & her sister. But the old man seated in front of her stuck to his angry & irritated face.
"Geet puttar, we had sent you to hostel to study properly but what is this? you have just passed by a mark!!!!What did you actually do there?!!!!"
"Sorry Daarji'" Geet voiced her standard reply to each of Daarji sayings for the nth time, her eyes facing the floor.
"Agar,aisa hi chalta raha, toh we don't have any other option except marrying you off!!"
"Sorry Daarji'" It was just after that Geet reflected on what he had just said. "N-N-No!!!!You can't get me married'nahi'please'I-I-I promise I will surely surely top the next exam'" said Geet with pleading eyes.
Hearing that, her mom Rano gave a slight giggle. Her husband, Mohinder elbowed her to maintain silence.
"Go to you room Geet!!" Daarji ordered.
She sighed. Finally the grilling session was over & that she was not made homeless after her academic crises. Geet picked up her suitcase & went up the stairs to her room followed by Rano & Rajji, Geet's sister.
"Waise don't take tension puttarji! We are rich enough to get you married to a wealthy household!" winked Rano as Geet embraced the bed in tiredness.
"Oh Please Mamma! Now you also don't start generating rumors of my marriage! " she cringed which made Rano laugh.
Geet was assured that she won't be getting married so soon as she held the privilege of being the laadli of the Handa household.
After Rano left, Rajji took the center stage in front og Geet.
"Okay Di,now lets talk real matters. You dumped that Vishal na?" asked Rajji, with twinkling eyes.
"Kya batau yaar, he was a loose character, time waste completely !"
"Unlucky you!"
"Seriously , I would never even fall in love henceforth!"
"WWWhyyy" Rajji asked surprised.
"I fail in the exams yaar & then I have to hear routine lectures from Daarji which every time concludes with the word of getting me married!"
Rajji chuckled.
"You were very shy di earlier! Ab toh pura personality change ho gaya aapka!"
"I am still shy don't worry!Very tired right now!"she yawned
"You know the Khuranas will be coming here tomorrow!"
"Who Khuranas?"
"Aree, aapko nahi pata!!! Maan Singh Khurana ! "Rajji looked with eager eyes towards Geet but did not receive the expected eagerness in return.
Rajji continued as she stood by the window looking outside. "All my friends have started giving me too much attention after they came to know that Maan is arriving !These girls na!I tell you! Waise, do you know why the Khuranas are coming? They are coming to see--"
Rajji turned behind & saw Geet sleeping with a pillow over her face.
"Tomorrow you will anyways come to know why they have come!"
Rajji left the room while Geet carried on with her nap,oblivious of what her destiny's desire is...
