The past few days had been nothing but a tedious period of mental exhaustion for Ruchi.
It had been two weeks since Aakash's family finalized the alliance with the Batra's and fixed an early ceremony for an official announcement on a suitable day. And given that the fixture has been trumpeted, Ruchi's family had geared up and already begun planning and calling around arrangements for the big day.
The visits of her mean-spirited aunt, some intimate relatives and many neighborhood aunties have been going on full swing where some would congratulate her and the rest would empathize with her for getting a proposal from such a well-settled NRI munda and labeled how as one lucky girl she was; who was being associated with such prosperous in-laws even after knowing their family history including her birth mother's infidelity leading to her parent's explicit divorce that marked out a blind spot on Sunil Batra's image in society.
[Munda - An attribute for boys in punjabi.]
She was given advice to charm her to-be fiancé and impress her in-laws to keep them hooked in the alliance but there was no one to appreciate her will and virtue upon respecting the decision of her family because their mentality screamed that a unhelpful girl born with a smeared orlay was obliged to abide by the decisions taken by her family.
In these preceding days, Ruchi had accountably replied to the untimely calls and plenty of messages from Aakash. His enquiries were more about her family than her imposing that he too had taken a keen interest in her blood disputes. Yet he was an ideal example as everything that a girl at her place would gladly settle for someone sharing a history like hers but as always her heart and mind had been restless and focused on something else.
