"Mom, is there something you want to tell me?", I asked.
"Errr!!..., Yeah,Actually it is about Sharon", she replied hesitatingly.
"Mom, is everything alright? Did she had a fight with you, Mom you know how she is, but she is ...,"
"Stop it, once you are started it's so difficult to stop you, Grandma, we didn't had any fight it's something else I want to discuss", she sighed.
"Okay, so I'm all ears to you, say it"
"You remember that aunt we met tonight in the party?", mum asked.
"Yeah, Of course, how can I forget her, your 'so called bestie' because of whom you completely forgot us", I replied with a pout.
"Stop your this act, Miss drama queen, so I was saying that lady, her name is Sunaina Shekhawat. While we were just updating each other about our lives, she told that she had a son, and these days she is finding a girl for him...", she hesitatingly continued when I didn't replied,"So!! When she saw Sharon, she really liked her and..."
"And what mum??"
"And SheSendAProposalForHer", she said all this in one go.
"Mom, what are you saying? I'm not getting a single word please, say it slowly"
"Fine, SHE_SEND_A PROPOSAL_FOR_HER", she replied, stretching each word and immediately closed her eyes.
As soon as these word were making sense to me, a havoc
started in my mind,'my sis is going away from me!!', 'someone is stealing her from me!!', 'now she'll consider someone else more important than me!!', 'she'll not be with me everytime!!', 'she'll share her secrets with someone else!!', No I cannot let this happen, I cannot share my sis with anyone... These were the first thought which came into my mind when my eyes fell on my mum, I saw that she was tensed, but why? Oh! no! she is convinced with this proposal and she wants me to accept this as well, so I calmed myself down, and tried to think rationally, to understand my mum's point of view. And at that time, things started to clear up in front of my eyes, she is right in a sense, as Sharon is at the age which is somehow appropriate for marriage and also she had that felling which shows that she really wanted to enter her new phase of life. Ah! These were the harsh realities but now, when are crystal clear in front of me, I cannot deny them and might be that boy... wait a minute...who's this boy??
"Mom, what is this boy's name? "
"Swayam, Swayam Shekhawat. I also have a pic of him, wait a minute ill show you"
And out of somewhere, mum took out a pic of this Swayam.
Okay, he is fine, but my Shar is one out of a million girl.
"He is done MBA, and right now handling his father's business, he is a very sensible and intelligent boy Kri, trust me. I have read about him many times in the newspaper. ", and here my mum started praising him as if he is 'her son'.
"Okay, fine I don't have a problem, but still I'm not convinced", I came out clear in front of her.
"I'm damn sure, when you'll meet him he'll definitely be able to fully convince you!!... Okay, now come on its too late, go to sleep tomorrow they are coming for lunch and ill need your help"
"Mom, that's not fair you didn't tell me they are coming tomorrow, Shar doesn't know anything about all of this, you cannot do that with her"
"Baby, I'm telling you now and as far as Sharon is corcerned, we are not going to fix their marriage tomorrow, it's just a meeting for both of them so that they can know each other, and don't worry she is my daughter I'll handle her she is not stubborn like you she'll understand, and now you go to sleep it's already too late."
"Fine, I'm going to sleep, and afterwards you don't come to me to help you convince her okay.", I said making faces.
"Fine, I'll not come." And with that she left me to burn with anxiety because of this new development. Ah! Mom, I hate you for that!!
