Reluctant Passion

Urmila's House Part 2

Mr. Siddharth:** *(maturely)* "Urmi beta, I know this is difficult. I believe in God, and I trust that everything happens for a reason. But I need to know what you think and feel about this situation. Do you want to stay in this marriage, or do you want us to find a way to annul it?"

*(Urmi takes a moment to consider her father’s words, appreciating his calm and understanding approach.)*

**Urmi:** *(thoughtfully)* "Baba, I never imagined being in this situation. I don’t know Rishi well enough to make a decision right now. But I know that I need time to think and understand what’s best for both of us."

**Mr. Siddharth:** *(nodding)* "That’s fair, Urmi. We’ll support you no matter what you decide. Let’s take this one step at a time and see what the best course of action is."

The next day

Urmila sits with her father, Mr. Siddharth, in the serene ambiance of their living room. The room is adorned with traditional Indian decor, creating a peaceful atmosphere amidst the family's emotional turmoil.

*(Urmi takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before speaking to her father.)*

**Urmi:*(calmly yet earnestly)* "Baba, I’ve been thinking about what happened at the fair and this forced marriage. I know it's a difficult situation, but I believe we should approach it with patience and understanding."

**Mr. Siddharth** *(listening attentively)* "Sun raha hun beta bolo, What are your thoughts?"

**Urmi:** *(thoughtfully)* "I understand the seriousness of annulment, Dad. It requires time, and there are legal procedures. I don’t want to rush into any decisions. Maybe main soch rahithi ki yeh sab kyun hua , phir samjha ki yeh hona tha toh annulment ke bhi toh ek minimun time hota hai toh soch rahi thi ki kyun yeh ab hua hai toh isko ek mauka diya jaye"

**Mr. Siddharth:** *(nodding thoughtfully)* "That's a mature approach, Urmi. I appreciate your patience and wisdom in this matter. It’s important to consider all perspectives before taking any action."

**Urmila:** *(gaining confidence)* "Also, Baba I feel there is some reason behind it kalko shayad 6 mahine bad sab normal hojayega ya maybe shaddi rahegi bhi nahi par phir kuch toh hai warna wahan itne log the par yeh sirf humare saath kyu. Hua?

**Mr. Siddharth:** *(smiling softly)* "You have a good heart, beta. I admire your ability to see a silver lining even in challenging situations. If this marriage is meant to be annulled eventually, we will go through the process. But tabtak uspe choddete hain jo yeh sab karta hai. Aur ab yeh bhi dekhna hai ki unlogon ki taraf se kya baat ati hai."

Urmila cousin: Aur Mamu Maine Pata kiya kaffi bade log hain par bahut ache hai. Woh Rishi bas unka ek hin beta hai aur textiles ka bada karibara hai.

Mr.Siddharth : Let's see beta.

*(Urmi feels relieved hearing her father’s supportive words. She knows she has his backing to approach this situation with patience and deliberation.)*

Urmila: *(gratefully)* "Thank you, Baba. Thank you Bhai.

Mr. Siddharth:*(placing a reassuring hand on Urmi’s shoulder)* "We’re a family, beta. We’ll face this together."
