Brewing the essence of love

Chapter 19

Vardhaan's POV

As I listened to her words I realized how messed up this whole situation was, not only for me but her as well. She was not suddenly sad after our engagement, out of nervousness but because she was killing her dreams. I was made to marry her on the emotional blackmailing of my grandfather, her situation was no less. A lot of damage was done till now. It is the time to minimize its effect now. I had made up my mind. I will not let this marriage be the reason for her broken dreams. I will not cage her in this knot, rather if needed I will open it so she can fly high and achieve it. 

"Done", someone shook me and said. I looked at her, I was so lost in my thoughts I did not hear her. "Show me" I said to her, she passed me the laptop, and she had sent her conformation mail. First step done. I shifed towards the right edge of the bed so she could sleep on the bed comfortably. As I was about switch off the light I felt her gaze on me. I looked at her and asked "You want something?" She looked at me for a second and spoke again.

"Why did you make me send this mail. I have made my mind I don't want to go anymore. I will take a residency program in India only. Even if I agree what will I say others? Everything is going so smoothly let's not spoil it now." She said me.

"Koyal look me, I know you can do the same in India as well but going to US has been your dream. I have known you for even a less month yet I know it is your dream. If i also know about it, this must have been your biggest dream I assume. If yes then, why change it now? Tell me one thing did you not hesitate and regret during our marriage? Did you not feel suffocated this whole time?" I asked to which she replied a little.

"See, even a little you did, if you don't go nowyou will regret and suffocate all your life, and I don't want my wife to live alife of that kind. I will talk to the elders, I will convince them. You don't worryabout it." I explained her. "We are newly married how can I go?" She voiced herthought again, to which I smiled. "You can go by a plane, how else? And it'snot like we are breaking this marriage. So relax and sleep, tomorrow is gonnabe a big day." I replied her. We then fell asleep.

In the morning we all were sitting together after breakfast, everyone was present. That was my chance I knew so I spoke. "Umm I want to say something to all of you" I said and everyone's attention was on me except Koyal. She looked so nervous, I was also nervous but I could not show it. If I did, her dreams would break. "Bolo beta ji" Dadaji said. [tell us son]

"Koyal is going to New York, USA for three years to study. She leaves tomorrow morning." Everyone looks shocked. Out of words to be precise. No one knew how to react. "How this possible you guys got married just 5 days ago. This is nonsense. And is that the way you ask Vardhaan" Badi bua said. I wanted to roll my eyes at her, but controlled. "Yes Tripti is right, if she wanted to go why did Uday not say about this to us earlier?" Dadaji added. Now I am angry, of all the people he is the one who has no right to say anything after what he did.

"Firstly Chachaji himself did not know about it to tell you. I also got to know yesterday only by mistake. Secondly I am not asking I am just telling you. Just like the way you guys only informed me." Silence there was only silence in the hall. Everyone except Koyal knew what I was talking about.

"Okay Vardhaan beta we understand you are only informing us. But tell the whole thing in detail beta, right now everything seems so confusing. Are you going with her? What is she going to study everything" Mom said.

"No, Mom, I'm not going with her. She's going to pursue her Masters. She had taken the exam before we got married and passed it on her first attempt. She hadn't told anyone about it, and I found out by accident when I was using her laptop yesterday. She's one of the few people who passed the USMLE on their first try and she's going to be working at the best hospital there." I explained the situation briefly to everyone. 

Bebe interjected, "If she had already taken the exam, then why did she get married? Phele padhai puri karti phir shaadi karti" [She should have completed her studies first and then gotten married.] "But bebe in the situation how we got married, did she have the time? We got married in less than a month. None of us were prepared for it. And her plan was to finish here studies first then marry, but you guys had other plans. It was not her fault." I told bebe.

A long discussion took place but even halfheartedly everyone had to agree. And in the first place Vardhaan did not ask for their permission, he was informing them. Now the couple went to Koyal's house to say the same.
