Bride of Shubman | Ishman

03

Shubman bangs the table where his cookies flies away. He shouts "No matter how many times you look at it. HE'S A MAN!!"

Abhishek look at shubman with done face "Huh what?"

Abhishek sips his tea with savouring the flavour of cookies "Is your marriage with pandit's son not going well?

He is so beautiful though.... What a waste" he sighs.

Shubman again bangs his hand on table and looks at abhishek while squinting his eyes "NO, NO, NO.
Regardless of beauty, He's still a GUY."

Shubman gasps and bring his hand near his mouth while crying about his fate
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW I FELT WHEN I SHDDENLY
FOUND OUT MY FUTURE WIFE WAS A MAN?"

He starts remembering how hard he was preparing himself to be well settled for his future wife.

"SERI-OUSLY, YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE
HOW HARD
I'VE BEEN WORKING, AND WORKING, AND WORKING, AND WORKING—"

In all fields like Academics and martial arts, farming and many more things.

"AND WORKING, AND WORKING, AND WORKING, AND WORKING MY ASS OFF..."

"BUT THAT GuY.."

"Ughhh"

Shubman shoulder slides down and he sighs "SHAT-TERED... MY.. DREAMS!!"

Shubman while imagining his imaginary wife to be like short, cute, with little cubby cheeks, big rosey lips, does shape eyes looking at him with love and calling his name 'Shubi'.

Abhishek just chuckles looking at shubman defeated state "It's more like a delusion than a Dream. Well it can't be helped."

Abhishek while resuming eating his cookie still speaking "After decades of poor harvests, This ritual was the village elder's last hope."

Shubman looking at him with intense stare while thinking about his talk.

"The number of descendants in the pandit family has decreased dramatically in recent decades. At this crucial time, there weren't any girl of age, and the only direct descendant left was Ishan... So, yeah."

Shubman sighs "But even so, Just the thought of giving him up as a bride is crazy to me. WHAT IF WE ANGER THE GOD OF RICE FIELDS?"

Abhishek smiles and just try to shut worries of his dear friend "Now, Now. Don't sweat about the small details. I mean, it's not like this is the first ritual."

Shubman just lower his head while thinking about his future now...

Abhishek looks at him "By the way, What about a successor? Did the chief.. i mean your dad say anything about it?"

Shubman just nod his head " Ah.... Nothing has been decided yet. The whole Man-wife thing had us all tied up."

"That makes sense."

Shubman stares at nothing while speaking about situation "As for me, I was planning on adopting my sister's child when she and her husband have one... but my father suggested i get a common-law wife."

Abhishek looks at him shocked "Huhh?"

Shubman explans further "As long as the marriage to the pandit's son takes place, the ritual itself is fine. So l'm considering doing what my father suggested."

Abhishek gets deep in though
"Ah~ i see..
Children are nice~
Shubman... Get yourself a concubine or surrogate. My wife is about to have a baby too..."

A shadow of person falls on shubman and abhishek while they were speaking and looks up little shocked at person with big eyes.

"Shubman sir"

Ishan looks at them with his doe pierced eyes "I've come to get you since the dinner is ready."

Shubman sighs still looking at his Man-wife "OKAY."

—————————————

In this his father suggested to be with someone apart from ishan for sake of child.
