Sanjog Se Bani Sangini.....

chapter 28

Prithvi pov .....

As I came home in the evening Yuvraj approached me saying that he needs to discuss something really urgent.....

Hmmm...what is it ....I asked him and he looked a bit embarrassed.
Bhai sa I_I want to get married.....he said looking away not meeting my eyes and I took a deep breath.

Her parents are asking her to get married and you know we both like each other.....so_... he trailed of.

Maa sa se baat ki iss baare mei ....I asked him and he shook his head .
Vo khabi nahi manegi ....aap baat kar le Bhai sa ....Preeti's belongs to a nice family and they know Baapu sa really well .....and they are Rajput too ....

I have informed her about our life style and everything and she has no problem with anything.......but Maa sa won't accept her knowing that we like each other and she is a bit modern too compared to Bhabi sa.....he whispered the last sentence.

But now seeing Maa sa's behaviour with Bhabhi sa , I am highly doubtful about it ......she won't even let Preeti enter the house only ......He said .

So , what you expect me to do .....fight with Maa sa and get you both married. Will you be able to take the responsibilities after that .

Getting married is absolutely easy but living in the marriage and take the responsibility and make decisions is not a cup of tea .

If you don't have the courage to even inform Maa sa , How will you be able to survive after marriage with Preeti in the same house with Maa sa .....I asked .

I will live separately just like you and Bhabhi sa does ....he said and I was taken back by his statement.

Yuvraj!!!!! I called him sternly and he looked down .
I am sorry Bhai sa.....I didn't want to hurt you or Maa sa but knowing our mother I am sure she would never accept us .....He said and I sighed.

Just leave ....I said and he left immediately without any word and I clutched my head in my palms .

Where is my decision of staying seperately leading to.....my siblings are following the same path without knowing it's complications....they take it as an opportunity to be free and act on their whishes.....

Pallavi was right when she said that I must have disappointed my father by taking that decision.
Why is this getting so complicated......

I don't want her to suffer but I can't let my family to be shattered in pieces.....I can't choose one over the other.

I knocked on the door and my mother looked up at me and frowned..

I got inside and sat beside her without saying a word .
Kya hua .... Pareshan lag raha hai tu ....koi baat Hui hai kya.....she asked me after a while and I took a deep breath.

Prithviiiii.....she called me and I looked away .
She caressed my head lovingly and I closed my eyes .

I looked at her calming my self down and took her hand in between my palms .
Her wrinkled hand and loose skin made me realise that she was getting old every passing day ......
She has been through a lot in her lifetime and her thinking is deep rooted and her beliefs have become rigid ....

She has been taught these things when she might have been a young girl .....
She has led her whole life believing these things only .....

Thik hai aap .....I asked her and she chuckled.
Mei toh thik hu .....par mera beta pareshan lag raha hai mujhe ..... tujhe asse dekhne ki aadat na hai mujhe.......
Bata kya baat hai .....she asked  making me smile.

Khaana na de rahi kya vo tujhe....kesa kamjor ho gaya hai tu ......She said looking at me keenly and I laughed.
Some things can't change and she is one of them .
