G: ok I will start from the day I first saw him
(he gave her a surprised look)
(she noticed) yes a guy;
My duppatta fled when I was riding my scooty and was held by a man, I was so afraid that I did not take it from him and simply went to my house as a boy was coming to see me,
when I reached home I was abused by Darjee and veer ji for the missing duppatta, I cursed my self for the lacking courage but it is how I have been brought up, never talk to a stranger;
my mother dressed me up for the coming family I tried to tell that I don't want to marry but was shut up by the women of the family;
(She sat down hugging her knees looking at the ground below)
The family arrived I was amazed to see 3 women, no man accompanied them, I never knew even woman made decisions, the trio looked at me and gave a surprised look and told Darjee that they are not here to make a girl who roams without a cover there Bahu,
but the boy standing behind me said he liked me and he always wanted a girl like her, he was the same guy; that time I did not know that he was referring to my lack of courage and was convinced I will never voice my opinion on any thing.
My family was obliged, and they decided that I will marry him; no one cared for my opinion, that man some how sensed my discomfort and vowed me by lying flowers in my path and showering me with rose petals
(Maan thought this flower scene sounds familiar, does he my step brother always does when he wants to woe a girl, so this is a very common practice)
Though I was reluctant as I will have to go to Canada if I married him, but his way of expression made me feel like a princess, so I thought may be he is the man my Babaji has sent for me;
Many things happened in a short time, they wanted this marriage
to take place in 3 days and that too discreet; and to my horror now that I think why my family agreed?
Whatever, it's my fate
after that we went to the fare and their a priest told me that I will meet my life partner there, and he was there, he asked Rajji if I can meet him alone and I agreed as now he was my fianc and we were to be married in 3 days,
but when I went to the specified place I did not find him and soon found that my family and all have left and I was chased by the goons;
that is when I collided you and begged for help but you are you, not that matters now as now I have seen worse,
however you did save me from drowning, though now I think if I should have drowned and died I would have been saved from further humiliation; but my bad luck I was saved;
sorry but now I don't thank you for saving me.
(She paced for a while as if checking her temper and the tears that were threatening to come out)
(he just looked at her in amazement as to what happened to make her say so)
When you left me on that deserted road after giving me a big lecture on females, my family came their searching for me, and on finding me started their abuse session which was checked on by him,
and I thought may be he will be good for my life.
Later my mother gave the jewellery that was meant for me to his mother and after getting the jewels they disappeared only to come back with some new jewels for me, which were fake, we later found that.
