Dadi's Bride
'Maan will marry my bride, haina Maan' shouted Anita
'No ways, Maan will marry the girl I chose for him' countered Raj
'For goodness sake can you two just stop, Maan come and sit next to me. Now tell me do you like someone' Dadi encouraged Maan to voice his own thoughts. If it was up to his parents, he would end up marrying a stubborn cow or a haughty monkey, dadi thought sadly. She wanted a boisterous, happy and jovial girl who spread light to all corners of their mansion. Someone full of life and colour, someone who could teach her stuck-up family what life was all about.
'No' he answered in a dejected tone, he was only 25. An age for fun and glamour not marriage, life was so unfair. He neither wanted to marry the arrogant Pari Singhania his father's business associate's daughter nor the flamboyant Sameera Khanna his mother's fashion line model. He wanted to be a free bird, yes the girls were nice even pretty but he was no man to be tied down to one female. He was a man of leisure who needed several females. Late night outs, partying and girls were Maan's habits or nature, think of it what you may. So the best way out of this was.
'I like dadi's choice' he shot thinking of it as the perfect excuse. Dadi possibly can't have a girl in her mind as well, now can she? Will she take advantage of this situation and force Maan into marriage or will she let him live his life, or partying shall we say? Which bride would win the race to Maan's heart, his dad's; mother's or dadi's?
Who should win? Who would lose?
The battle of the royal affair is on, a wedding is a must but the bride is up for a test.
Special mention: Just want to thank Lakshmi who made is lovely banner, isn't it beautiful? Thank you once again Lakhsmi for this wonderful piece of art. Thought to mention Kwaishfan too, whom I kind of promised that when and if I come back then Dadi'd Bride shall be my first story. Hope this pleases youđ.
