Chapter Five
It's been a week we are here in kashmir, tomorrow we will be travelling to shimla by our car. It will be fun travelling via roads we can explore many things on our way. By travelling in flight is good but via road is love.
We were out today to travel the most visited place in kashmir. Dal lake is one of them. Dal Lake is famous for its scenic beauty and pilgrimage center. The area around Dal Lake is a natural paradise.
It's unique in having hundreds of house boats. We started our day by taking a shikara ride around the lake. The clear waters filled me with a sense of calm and relaxation. After the serene boat ride, we decided to explore the famous Mughal gardens that are situated around the lake.
Imran was coming back from nearby tea stall. Kashmir is famous for "Kahwa tea", so we thought to give it a try. While he was looking forward, a man bumped into him pouring whole tea on his hand and clothes. I ran towards him. Are you okay? Thank God he was wearing gloves or else his hand would've burnt. The man apologised saying "I was in h- hurry". Imran smiled and said it's okay, I am fine you can go. Somehow I was surprised that he didn't shout at him as tea was spilled all over his clothes making it dirty. His shoes also spoiled.
Was he always like this? I haven't seen man so much calm, composed. My father is a good person still he used to get angry with small things. Same goes with my brother. I have mostly seen them angry. Without my mother fault, sometimes abbu used to shout at her just because he was angry. I hate it when man take out their frustration on woman who are not at fault.
He is exactly opposite, till now I haven't seen him shouting at anyone coz of small mistakes. That day also waiter had accidentally Pour a glass full of juice at him. Still he was so calm he said it's okay. I'll just go and wash it off. I wonder if it was my father or brother they would definitely shout in anger.
This small things makes him stand out. I had always prayed from God, that I never want to marry man with anger issues. I think my prayers had got answered. There was always an fear that If I'll marry some one like that, May be he will beat me or take out his frustration on me. I had always hear from many woman in my day to day life that their husband raised hand on them just because thay are frustrated or they had their fight with boss.
Being a Doctor hearing those issues is difficult. I had to control my emotions. Whenever I asked them to file a complaint against them, they said where will we go, our parents will never allow us to do such things. "They always ask us to adjust with them coz we are woman." I realized that it's "Twenty first century" but we are still stuck to things like "Log kya kahenge, samaaj kya kahega. A woman can't even live by her own will. She has to think about everyone but no one will pay attention to her needs.
I don't know suddenly why this thoughts came up in mind but just I went thinking deep.
"Inayah". He called out my name. I came out from my inner thoughts. Is anything bothering you? You can share me. You look tensed about something.
