Man of his words . An epitome of business world . A man who never believed in...
" Jaise aap bolte hai vaise karana bhi Sikh lijiye ." My mom said and threw bag in the corner of room gently . (" You should learn to act like you talk .") My Appa got irritated and went while stomping his feet .
" I think we should plan to go next week , Amma ." I said as she looked at me gently . " Do you want to keep going in this matter ?" She asked
" Yes , I guess so ." I said as I knew it if I don't handle then there is something bad gonna happen .

Flashback
" Hello , Didi Mein Prakash bol Raha hu ." Ishitaa's father called someone. ("Hello , Sister prakash here .")
" Hello , Prakash ? Kitne din baad call Kiya ? Sach mein kahu to mein abhi tumhe ki call karne vali thi ." The person on line said . (" Hello ? Prakash ? You called me after many days , didn't you ? To be honest I was about to call you .")
" Ha ha ,ab aapko humari yaad nahi aati , aap Mrs. Chauhan the Chairman of KC International Company Jo ban chuki hai ." He said jokingly . (" Ha ha ,these days you've forgotten us . Now you're chairman of KC International Company .")
" Ab Tak Bachapana nahi gaya . Vo sab chhodo , Aaj tumne call Kiya hi hai ye acchha hua kyu ki mujhe tumse baat karni thi thodi , agar tumhe bura na lage to ek baat bolu ?" She said as she looked hesitant . (" You're still childish . Leave all that , today you called is good because I also wanted to talk to you about something . If you don't feel offended then should I talk ?")
" Didi , aap mere badi behan jaisi ho . Mein bhala eisa kyu sochunga ." He said with a light chuckle . (" Sister , you're like my elder sister . I'll not think like that .")
" Thik hai . Darasal , Mera beta ab 27 saal ka ho chuka hai . Tumhari beti bhi ab badi ho chuki hai . To kyu na humara ye Bhai behan ka rishta sambandhi mein kare ? Matlab agar tumahari ichha ho to ." She said . (" Okay . To be honest my son is now 27 years old . Your daughter has also grown up . Then should turn out relationship of sister brother into in laws ?")
" Didi Apane mere mu ki baat chhin li . Meine bhi apako ye hi batane ke liye call Kiya tha . Mujhe koi itaraaz nahi ." He said happily . (" Sister , I was literally thinking the same . I really wanted to tell you this that's why I called you . I don't have any problem .")
" Ye to bhali baat ho gayi . Phir Jaipur kab aa rahe ho ? Aane vakt parivaar ko saath lekar ana ." She said while laughing too . (" This is so good ! Then when are you coming Jaipur ? When you'll come take your family with yourself .")
" Bilkul , parivaar ke sath hi aaunga . Bina parivar ke thodi aa skata hu ?" Ishitaa's father said . (" Ofcourse . I'll come with my family . How can I come without my family ?")
" Thik hai , mein ab Mumbai aa gayi hu . Parso Jaipur Jane vaali thi . To Jaipur Jane ki bajay mein aur Kartik vaha asakte hai ." She said while suggesting . (" Okay , I'm here in Mumbai . I was thinking about going Jaipur the day after tomorrow but I'll come there in Kerala with kartik .")
" Har baar aap mein Jo sochta hu vaise bolti hai . Kyu nahi , jaldi aana ." He said with enthusiasm . (" You seriously say everything that I want to . Why not ? Come fast .")
" Achha thik hai , to phir milte hai . Ab mein phone rakhati hai ." She said as they hung up . (" Okay , then let's meet . Now I'll cut the call .")

Ishitaa POV
Me and my mom were sitting on the terrace feeling the cold air at night . They are going to come a day after tomorrow . Today is Wednesday , that means they'll come on Friday . I never ever thought my life would take such a turn and everything will change . I thought we were best family though we had complexities . We weren't perfect but we were complete with each other . But now we are neither perfect nor complete . It feels so suffocated here . I feel so burdened . Sometimes now my heart starts beating fast with unknown fear growing inside me . Taking a deep breath I looked at my mom and said ,
" Amma , I'm really feeling afraid ." I said to my mom
" Beta , when I asked you then why didn't you say that ?" My mom said as she looked at me .
" I agreed to marriage but I don't know why this isn't feeling right ." I expressed what I felt .
" It's okay . I can understand we will surely find a way out of this mess . Even if the way is hard and everyone hates it still me and Aditya are with you ." My mom said gently pulling me by my arm and keeping my head on her lap and tapping and massaging it .
" Would Nani do the same if she would have been in Dadi's place ?" I asked as she stopped massaging .
" No . She would never cause your Nani had 2 girls as her daughter . Me and your Masi (Aunt) Anjali . She would definitely understand what is like to have a girl better than me ." She said as she caressed my cheeks .
" Hm . " I hummed in response . " Amma , head feels lighter now ." I said as she chuckled .
" Does it ?" She said . I nodded in response .
" Remember one thing , in your life there will be many things where you'll feel like you are at worst place . Sometimes people will hate your for the way you're handling problem so don't pay attention to them . You can't runaway from problem but you can stay away from it find solution . So , even if your marriage gets fixed and at the same time you feel stressed , depressed and suffocated then do whatever feels like to you . I'm always with you in your every decision ." She said as I attentively heard her with my eyes focused on the moon shining alone in the sky . Why there are no stars today ?
" What if I runaway ?" I asked what came to my mind .
" I'll still support you ."
" Amma ?!!" I was astonished as I abruptly woke up from her lap . " Won't you feel ashamed , disgusted because your daughter ran away from her marriage ?" I asked her .
" My baby , I won't . Because all I want is your happiness . If you're not happy then how will I be happy ? If you're getting free and You're going to get what you want and being successful by running away from this mess then I'll help you . I've said I'm always by your side ." She said smiling at me .
I didn't waste a second and hugged her .
" That's why I love you the most , Amma . You scolded me when I was wrong but you always supported my every thing which you found correct . You're so sweet and selfless . You always think about me and Aditya first . One day I'll make you feel proud ." I said as our hug became tighter .
