"Or kaisi lagi Karishma?"
Vyom asked Pushpa ji.
But silence followed, along with a slight expression of resentment on her face.
"Lalla.. koi aur ladki nahi mili thi tumhe? Arey hum Lucknow me tiwari ji ki ladki se tumhari shaadi fix kara dete, wo nahi toh bhi koi aur mil jaati.. magar ye kyun!"
Vyom was taken aback.
"Par maa, Karishma hume kaafi pasand hai, or wo bohot hi achi ladki hai!" he said.
"Ama kaahe ki achi ladki. Pehli baat to yun shorts or tshirt pehn ke, baal baandh ke subah subah airport pe khadi cold drink pee rahi thi, sajne sawarne ka koi tareeke nahi pata use. Phir humare kapdo pe cold drink gira ke hume aunty bulaya usne"
"Arey par amma.."
"Par war kuch nahi lalla, gaadi chalane ki bhi tameez nahi usme, itni tez chalati hai. Wo to chodho, baat tak karne ki tameez nahi hai. Kitni teekhi zubaan hai uski"
"Amma please.." Vyom said, cutting her in-between of her rant. "Please aap meri baat suniye 2 minute"
"Bolo!" she said sternly
"Maa Karishma ne humara bohot saath diya hai, Santu ke time pe agar Karishma na hoti to Santu bach nahi paati aapko bhi pata hai"
Pushpa ji tried to wave it off with her hand. "Arey hum ye sab nahi jante. Hume bas wo ladki nahi pasand. Sanskar, komalta, ye sab kuch hai hi nahi usme" she asserted.
Vyom sighed. With a disappointed look, he went to the kitchen to make some tea for pushpa ji.
She definitely understood what her son must be going through.
Entering his kitchen, she patted on his back.
"Magar, lalla hume tumhari pasand par bharosa hai. Tumne use pasand kiya hai, toh kuch soch samajh ke hi kiya hoga. Aasha karte hai, dheere dheere hume bhi uss ladki ke gun (qualities) dikhne lage." she said. Her words comforted Vyom, but he still felt a weight inside his chest.
He smiled weakly and proceeded to make tea for her.
On the other hand, Karishma was laying on her bed, feeling low.
She opened her whatsapp and texted Vyom "suno.."
After a few minutes Vyom replied "bolo"
"Vyom.. wo.. I messed up everything"
"Kya hua karishma"
"I already made the worst impression infront of your mom"
"Haan karishma but jo ho gaya so ho gaya. Chodho, tum tension na lo, she will soon learn that you are the best for me"
"hmm..but Vyom.. I am sorry.. Maine nahi socha tha aisa hoga"
"It's not your fault baby, its fine"
Karishma did blush upon listening 'Baby'.
"hmm.. Acha can we meet tonight at our respective terrace?"
"But kashi how will I.."
"for 5 minutes please"
"Acha okay, I'll be there"
"Okay then, see you soon"
Vyom just giggled and they cut the call.
Few hours later, Karishma went up to her terrace, only to find Vyom was already up there waiting for her.
