What is honeymoon?? The debate
Shot one.
At the dining table, two days after Ginni returned from the hospital.
The mixed feelings when his uncle stated "Aditya, maine tumhara aur Ginni ka Shimla ka ticket book kardiya hain, honeymoon key liye".
( I booked ur honeymoon to shimla)
Shall i feel happy or anxious or worried??
Happy coz a change of environment would be great for Ginni. Anxious coz i am still not ready to accept her fully. I need more time to understand our relationship. Worried coz how would Ginni react .
The sweet interruption from the step mother .
" Haan Adi , it will be good for the both of u. A hill station with blissful environment and fresh air. Wonderful way to start ur marriage life".
He remained silent. She was showing concern for his wife. He didn't object. It was her kindness.
The interruption from the nasty aunt,
" Haan, Adi, bahut acha hain. Wapas aaogey toh doo sey thin ho jaunge. Junior aditya raj singh ".
( That's good idea. When u return, u become two to three. Baby on board)
He almost choked on the aloo paratha that he munched for breakfast and his uncle patted his back scolding his wife.
" Shailja, soch ker baat kiya ker. Honeymoon ka matlab sirf vo nehin hain".( Think before u say. Honeymoon doesn't mean that only).
Honeymoon ka matlab kya hain
What is honeymoon?.
He thought hard hearing those words
Does Ginni even know what is honeymoon all about?? Well , she's is a village girl type from an orthodox background. What if she misunderstands and then pack her things and leave??
No , i can't afford to lose her once again.
A sudden fear and anxiety conquered his emotions. This is too soon. I have to object.
But on the other hand , part of him wanted it. To spend some quality time with her alone. To get to know her better. To understand their relationship. To realize what he feels for her
He desired to give his consensus right away but held on it , providing an excuse to his humble uncle politely.
" Vo, tayaji, i need to ask Ginni first if it's ok with her. Apko toh peta hain humari shadi kaise hui thi". ( U know how the marriage took place).
The uncle nooded in agreement.
" Ok. Tum baat karlo pehle". ( U speak with her first).
Little did he realize that the discussion was gonna take a toll on his mental state.. Ginni Grewal the naive (seedi sadi ) type of a girl and a little dumb at times as well as an emotional fool would debate on it and drive him bonkus.
A few minutes later in his bedroom.
Seeing, the empty bowl of dal porridge ( khicdi) resting at the bedside , he sighed with a relief.
At least she finished it. She'd been complainng about eating spicy and savoury dishes and he objected due to diet restrictions by her surgeon. The wound was deep.
The upset wife coming out from the washroom.
He noticed.
She was still adamant for the change of diet and he was helpless.
She sat on the bed, looking away . Ignoring him.
The anxious husband spoke.
" Ginni,vo tayaji ney humari honeymoon ki ticket book kardi , Shimla ke liye. Parson nikal na hain".
( Uncle booked our honeymoon to Shimla. We shall take a leave day after tomorrow).
The shocked wife sitting on the bed staring at her husband giving a look of ' i am confused and he frowned within.
God, i knew it. She won't understand or even like it.
But he remained silent waiting for her answer which took ages
Finally she spoke still a little blurr
" Adityaji, honeymoon kya hota hain?"
( What is honeymoon).
The very surprised husband still standing near the door felt like escaping to nowhere at that very moment.
God, this is so embarrassing. Ginni, why are u so naive.
Or is she pretending ??
Just to get away with it??
He thought real hard.
What shall i do now. How do i discuss it with her??
To be continued .
