Kr : bolo na mom kya baat hai? Aap itna hesitate q kar rahe ho bolne se?
Sm: beta hum chahte hai ki humari dosti rishtedhari mein badle...(she z worried now...thinking about the kr's reaction)
Kr becomes serious...she couldn't digest what her mom said...she was totally shocked..
Kr : mom aap ka matlab main aur rey... ??
Sm : haan beta...but hum(payal n smriti) humare iss decision ko aap dono pe forcefully nahi dalna chahte...beta itz just a idea...final decision aap dono ka hi hoga...we want u both to become frnds..n understand each other..n then if u both think u both r comfortable with each other, then only we will proceed...till then hum shadi ke baarein mein baat tak nahi karenge...n abhi minimum2 2 n half yrs tak tho main tumhari shadi nahi karne wali hoon..I want u to complete ur mba without any burdens on u like others of ur age...then uske bad kuch din I want u to enjoy independent life..u know like tension free life...then only I will start thinking about ur marriage ..but u know beta payal ko tum bahot pasand ho...aur muje rey...n I want friendly family for u jo tumhe samje...apnaaye tum jaise ho waise..ya tum jahan comfortable feel karo waise family...n trust me beta rey se accha ladka ya payal se achhi mom in law tumhare lie doondne par bhi nahi milenge...even payal ka bhi sochna hai ki rey ko tumhse achhi ladki nahi mil sakti...but as I said final decision will be urs n reys...we will not question u guys decision..

Sm : u mean ..? U are ready for this proposal? (Unable to digest that kr agreed so easily)
Kr : mom I knew ki abb kabhi bhi aap mere shadi ke barein mein soch sakte ha I...I was prepared for it mentally...but muje bas aise life partner chahie tha jo aapko khud ke mom ki tarah treat kare...apki care kare...main jab chahu tab muje aapse milne ki permission de...aapko respect kare...n ye saari qualities already rey mein hai tho y will I reject the proposal...rey aapka laadla hai...aap uske baarein mein hammesha proud feel karte ho..he takes care of u so well whenever u go to Mumbai..n payal aunty...unka kya kehna...I am so comfortable with her...aur kya chahie muje mom?
Sm : but beta tum aur rey ka ek dusre ke sath comfortable hona bahot jaroori hai...whole life sath rehna hoga aap dono ko...so plz

N hum dono kitne alag hai...ye aap, payal aunty n sw hammesha kehte rehte ho...tho hum dono kaise adjust honge ek dusre ke sath...? Aur upar se main ab unke(payal aunt n rey) sath unke ghar mein hi rehne ja rahi hoon...pehle itna worried nahi thi...abb ye sab janne ke baad I am very worried to stay with them...agar mujse kuch bhi galti hogai tho? I dont want to spoil the friendship between the two familie because of my any silly mistakes..and payal aunty even said once ki... ...wait...oh god...main ye bat kaise bhool gayi...p aunty said once ki rey ko south Indian cultured people pasand nahi...(looking up) hey universe ji ye kya bomb phoda aapne?
