As promised , Mike is here to pick me up but before leaving mom wanted us to eat something .
" Mom, why do I have to escort him everywhere ? ", I ask.
" Why not? I know you just want to stay at home and mess with machines . But its good to attend social gatherings once in a while . ", mom .
" Yeah , even though you are completely useless but you can still make yourself more useful by attending wedding , don't you think ? ", dad .
" Of course , but I am sure that I am more useful than you old man . Why don't you also try to be more useful and attend these social gatherings by yourself ? ", I say .
" Hah , if you ...", dad was about to reply but mom interrupted him.
" Enough both of you stop ! Eat your breakfast quietly . ", mom angrily .
" Haha , you two are still same . ", Mike pointing his figure at me and dad .
" Tell me about it . These two fight like two countries in cold war . ", mom.
" I still remember how Myra , threw chilli powder at uncle Rishaan when she was only eight . ", Mike.
" Yeah , that was really hilarious. Rishaan was scolding her for not wearing proper dress and then she threw chilli powder at him . " mom laughing .
Yeah , I also remember that ...Well, you can't blame me , he kind of pissed me that day .
" Well ,let us go ..", Mike in his irritating voice .
AFTER A WHILE :
I think we are here . I should ask Mike.
" Have we reached there ? ", I ask Mike.
" Yep, we are almost there , little girl . ", Mike .
Thank God , riding in the car can be exhausting even if you don't have motion sickness .
Wow , the wedding venue looks glamorous . Its going to be in the spacious hall .
I wonder what day it is ? You know wedding in our culture lasts for several days . Albeit younger generations like to skip these tiring and expensive ceremonies but adults usually persuade them to do otherwise .
" Its fourth day , my friend must be exhausted by now . But he must be happy , he always wanted to marry someone . He really loves that woman . ", Mike with a smile.
I scoff . " Your friend is an idiot , just like you. ", I say .
" Why would you say that ? ", Mike.
" Because weddings are nothing but ways to ensure proper functioning of society . Its more like a duty than love and all that nonsense . ", I say .
" Well , you are wrong Myra . Weddings are special . It connects two people for the rest of their lives . ", Mike .
" Nonsense . ", I say .
" You are here Mike . Come on I will show you room of bride and groom . ", a middle aged woman .
We follow her upstairs . There are many people in the hall . So , the room of bride and groom is upstairs above the hall . These stairs are like never ending ladders of heaven .
Finally , here is the room .
" Open the door , son . ", the lady as she knocks on the door .
After a while , door opens to show a tired man in grey suit with stubbles who has dark circles around his eyes .
