"Pammi Agar Sidharth ne yeah decide kiya hai toh mujhe uske decision pe koi doubt nahi hai" Sukh Shergil said and everyone was stupefied.Pammi particularly never expected her husband to have such response to thai grave issue.
"Woh bache hain,aapko kya ho gaya?" Pammi asked her in astonishment. Sidharth and Shehnaaz stood glued to their places.
"Shehnaaz tu room main ja,pammi tu kuch khane ki tayyari kar ,come Sidharth I need to talk to you" he said and took Sidharth to him study.Both the men got seated on a couch. Shehnaaz was already spent both physically and mentally, even after listening to her father's statement, she was not really ecstatic, her mind was still filled with inhibitions, she went to her room and just plopped on her bed. Pammi went to the kitchen, she was in a completely baffled state,Sidharth was exceptionally dear to her,he was someone who signifies perfection, being a mother, it was a privilege to have Sidharth as her son in law, but at the same time she knew this tie would ruin the harmony between the three families and even if they accept this relationship ,their inter personal relationship would change.
"You want something Sidharth , Whiskey or wine?" Sukh offered.
"No, thank you,I am good" He replied.
"Try this wine,a friend got it from Napa Valley" Sukh insisted and Sidharth agreed, he poured wine in two glasses and extended one to him and after sipping few sips in silence, he started.
"Tu mere ankhon ke samne bada hua hai,tujhe beta mana hoon,per teri samjhdari humesha hum sabse jyada rahi hai, chote sa chota decision main tujhse puchke leta hoon Sidharth, humesha barosha kiya hai tujhpe, aj bhi karta hoon per beta ab jo bhi ho raha hai mujhe andar se dar sa lag raha hai, kaise hua yeah sab? Tu toh itna mature hai, kaise Tiara se engagement ke baad tu Shehnaaz ke pyar main pad sakta hai?tujhe pata hai tu kya Kar raha hai? Iske consequences tu ready hai face karke je liye?" He asked in a anxious voice, his face depicted his inner turmoil.He too,just like Pammi stood on the fine line between morality and greed. He knew it was immoral to get his daughter married to his niece's fiance but at the same time the greed of getting his daughter married to man of breeding like Sidharth somehow pulled him more.
"Uncle, thank you so much for having so much faith and trust on me,main apke doubts samajh sakta hoon,I know yeah mujhse expected nahin hai, but hoon toh main insaan hi na?a human being who too has a heart, and as we all know, a heart is a strange animals which can not be ruled by logic. " He paused in between ,sukh was totally jolted,looked at him with attentiveness.
"Engagement ke baad pyaar nahin hua, pyar mujhe bhi nahin pata kab se tha,but realization main time lag gays" He struggled for words and released a sharp breath.
"Abhi bhi nahin samajh pa raha hoon,Its about my only daughter and my own niece, both are dearer to me then my own life." Sukh stopped mid sentence.
"Shehnaaz is only daughter, my heart is running around inside her body, I hope you understand.. I need this assurance that you will never heart her" Sukh was too emotional that his voice quivered but he straightaway said.
"Whatever this thing is between us it’s always been there and it’s always gonna be there, but as I have seen her since she was a baby,mere liye bhi tough ho raha tha yeah accept karna...." Sidharth kept on saying things,though he was dubious whether he was making sense or not. Sukh had always treated him as a experienced, accomplished man, the conversation they had till now had always been free flowing, today for the first time Sidharth was struggling to make valid point in front of him
"Tiara bhi beti hai humare ghar ki, bohat practical hai woh phir bi uska dil toh dukhega,mann sehem raha hai uska soch ke,It is a grave injustice to her beta" he said.
