Kya Wo Tum Ho?
This story is based on the arrange marriage concept.
In our eastern culture the biggest question in our families is when the guy or the girl will get married?
So here is the introduction to the main characters
Geet Handa, only daughter of Mohinder Handa and Rano Handa. Like every other girl has her own dreams that she has weaved over the years and marriage being the least of her concerns.
Maan Khurana, Son of Ram Khurana and Maira Khurana. Now the owner of Khuranna Constructions. He wants certain qualities in his life partner and in search of her.
In a typical house with mediocre grandeur, some maids are arranging things in order, others dusting decoration pieces, cook is inquiring about the dishes to be made for the special guests.
Rano: Ok Ramesh you make things that will go with Tea, make some traditional ones like Samosas, Kababs, Chaat etc and rest I will ask the driver to bring from the bakery. And make sure that they all get ready till 5:30. And If I remember anything else I will tell you.
Cook: Okay Madam
Rano, a very graceful woman wearing traditional shalwar suit with dupatta on her head and minimal jewelry turns around.
Rano: What are you doing? You people can't even do one thing if I don't supervise you. Ganga go bring a dry cloth and dust off the furniture, don't do it with a wet cloth, the polish will fade away. And yes did you ask Madam to get up?
Maid: Yes Ma'am I did. But she didn't.
Rano:Uff... What will I do with this Girl...Look at her...Guests are coming and this girl is sleeping.
Rano moved upstairs and entered in her daughters' room which was well decorated, with red and off white walls consisting of abstract paintings, her certificates, trophies put beautifully on a shelf right above her studying table. She walked across and put away the curtains from the window so that the darkness fades away.
G: Ummm... Mommm... can I please sleep for 10 more minutes.
Rano turned towards the bed and softly said
Rano: Beta its already 11:00 look at the time...
A girl with pale skin, light brown curly hair, pink cheeks and lips was sleeping like no tomorrow... turned on one side hugging one pillow and the other thrown at the end of the bed. Her red comfy comforter covering her till her waist and right when the curtain were removed she shielded her eyes by her arms covering her face, whining like most of the girls.
Rano moved near her bed and caressed her forehead and kissed it. The girl opened her hazel eyes slightly wrinkling her whole face.
G: Mom... What is it?? Why are you showering me with your love today??
Rano: Nothing... Just wanted to...
Geet turned to hug her mother while lying down and later put her head on her mother's lap.
G: Mom love you too...
Rano kept on caressing her curly mass of hair
Rano: Geet beta that's it...Bus chalo... now get up... Don't be lazy
G: Mommm... only yesterday my result came and I slept tension free...please... Bus 10 more minutes...pretty please..
Geet closed her eyes again inorder to sleep
Rano: So what were you doing three months before... you were free then also...
Geet opened her hazel eyes yet again
G: Ummm mom you don't understand... This sleep was the best... Abh I did a lot of hard work in my last year so I wanted this free time...And look your daughter scored distinctions... Itna to I deserve atleast.
Rano: Ha ha... I know and I am so proud of my daughter... Acha suno I have to talk to you.
Since Rano turned serious at the moment... Geet also got up and leaned against the bed rest...
Geet: Yes Mom tell me... anything serious?
Rano: Yes, actually today one of your fathers friend is coming with their family.
Geet: So... they always come... what's new?
Rano: Actually they are very old friend... they are coming with a proposal.
Geet: what??
Geet was shocked to hear this all of a sudden...
Rano: Yes they have a son and they want your hand...
She was just absorbing the news that was bombarded by her mother...
Geet: But Mom you know I want to study more and I am planning to do my masters from UK and then I have to establish my career too... I just completed my graduation like yesterday (since her result came yesterday) and even dad knows that... what is this..??
Rano: Yes Geet I know... But whats the matter in just looking... you will have to marry someday and look like you always said to me that the family should be educated and well off... and they are...
Geet interrupted
Geet: But Mom I want to study more... You should have at least asked me... I didn't even think about this matter... It is so awkward for me... I am not even burdening you... I have applied for scholarships and offers do take time...
Rano: I know beta... but we can do your engagement and once you return we will do your marriage...It's a very good family and I don't want to miss it..
Geet what's the guarantee that he will let me study
