Heal my Heart

13. His reaction!

Okay long time I know. But the thing is I managed to update. So happy reading!

"Sweet girl ?!" I heard these words escaping from Mukti's mouth while her eyes were still showing the same reaction. I saw both my mothers shrugging as if no big deal. But hey its too big to be a big deal.

My mothers talking about a GIRL. Strange, Unusual, Abnormal, Odd, Weird, Unexpected, Unfamiliar, Out of the way, Extraordinary, uncommon, eerie, unnatural, and what not.

My both mothers have some weird type of allergy from girls. Yeah Girls except Mukti of course. Why? Because whenever they have come across any girl of this modern World as they call it, it has done nothing but increased their allergy.

In their point of view girls of this generation can handle anything but they have no manners, no respect, no shame, they are immature and the list goes on.

(Girls take a chill pill, no need to make it an issue. I'm also a girl. And this just for the Story's sake. NO OFFENCE)

Mukti also acts immature sometimes but she knows when and where to do what. She knows how to respect elders and others, she knows her manners, she knows where to act how.

She knows a little childishness is okay sometimes, and its actually needed.

She is the only one in this house that keeps entertaining everybody no matter how worst the situation is. I'm not telling all this just because i'm her brother but i know that she is matured enough.

We just know that both our mothers hate girls. No one in this house ever talks about girls because of them. And listening sweet girl from their mouths came as a thunderstorm.

The girl must have something special in her that my mothers are titling her as "sweet girl". Before anyone could say anything i heard both my father muttering but still it was audible to all of us. My dad said, "i think there is some serious problem with their brains..we need to rush hospital!"

Listening to them Moms shrugged her shoulders as if no big deal. Great. "ok fine, if you all done giving your different reactions..should i proceed?!" Mommy asked getting annoyed. We four exchanged some weird looks but still nodded in response. Mom took a relief.

"Ok so you must be thinking why we are talking about a girl all of a sudden?" she asked looking at each one of us. Mom smiled at me. What's wrong?!

Then Mommy and Mom both explained how that 'sweet girl' helped mommy in maintaining the orphanage and how much children like her there. We got Another shock when she told how children craves for her to teach them.

Its sure a big deal.

I tell you those cute little children are smart and intelligent but they are so naughty, they won't study until and unless someone run after them.

"Wow..this is interesting!" i heard Mukti saying excitedly rubbing her hands. Looking at everyone, i noticed their faces had a different smiles.

"So we get it that girl is very sweet as per you both but care to explain what more is stored there in smarty head of yours?!" My dad asked both of them on which the smile grew bigger on their faces. Aren't they smiling too much today?! Good thing. But something definitely is missing out.

"We want to make her our daughter-in-law"

"yeah why not?!" I told them without even thinking. Everyone's jaw dropped. Both my mothers were also looking at me in shock? Yeah shock, actually everyone. Now what's wrong. One minute ago everyone were smiling like fools and now they all had shocked faces to me.

I took a glance at everyone, they were looking at me. What have i did?

P-o-k-e

Ouch! That hurts. I looked at source of the person who poked me, Mukti. She was sitting right beside me; blunder.

"What?!" i asked rubbing by arm where she poked. "What did you said?" she asked grabbing my arms. Argg this girl has super power i tell you. How can she so easily pull a muscled man like me? Huh. She definitely hurt my ego.

"what did i said?!" i asked irritatedly. She slapped her forehead. Now what's the matter?! First she pokes me then slaps her forehead. Great. "Did you heard Mom properly?" she asked me. Does she thinks i'm deaf?! No, i'm not. But she definitely has something with her. God.

"Mom said she wants that girl to be her Daughter-in-law. See i heard it right" i told shrugging my shoulders showing my 'i-am-cool' look to her. I saw her eyes widening. Haha. She really thought i'm deaf. Well i proved her wrong. Victory. I won. Huhaha.

"And do know the meaning of Daughter-in-law?" she asked me. Now i can tell something is surely wrong with her. She is behaving different. "Mukti what's wrong, now don't tell me i look that stupid to you?!" i asked with my eyebrows raised.

"Manik" she said annoyingly. Wow. She is making me annoyed and acting as if i'm annoying her. "Now what?" i asked with same annoyance in my voice.

"You are going crazy!" she said sighing. huh? I think someone says it true; Mad people call others mad, not themselves.

"No i'm not, but you are" I said in my raised voice getting more annoyed.

"Oh really?!"

"Yes"

"Manik.."

"Mukti"

"Ok fine..I'll explain you in simple words!" She said in a calmed voice. Hmm. Nice. Few minutes ago she was shouting like crazy, maybe her vocal cords gave up. Hoohaha. I won again.

"Manik if she will be her daughter-in-law then someone has to marry her. Isn't that so?!" She said. I wonder why she is telling me this as if I'm 5yr old.

"I know"

"As mom wants that girl to be hers then who has to marry her?" She dragged more towards her stupid explanation which is too difficult for me to understand.

"A boy..Simple logic Mukti"

"And in this house who is that boy?"

This house. Boy. Obviously someone has to marry her to become my both mother's daughter-in-law. And who's that? Me. One minute. What??!!

"What?!" I almost yelled getting up from the couch. Then I heard everyone's laughter holding their stomachs that reminded me that my parents were too here. Oh God. I'm too stupid to understand such a silly thing.

First of all, what that means is, they were talking about my marriage. This was seriously unexpected.

Huff. Finally done with the day. Ok I did work today like crazy even if it was for 4hrs only. Back to Back patients. Hectic day. I'm already tired. I just need my bed. That's it.

I pulled my car from Hospital's parking lot and drove to my place. Ok my so called house.

After parking my car I noticed that there was another new car parked. Maybe they purchased a new car or some guests. Oh no if there are any guest then I can't sleep. They will again force me to pick ''sweet-daughter's'' act. I'm too tired to do this today.

Keeping my fingers crossed I walked inside the Mansion hoping it's their new car, no guests.

When I reached the door I heard some people talking. It wasn't of my so called parents voice, surely. The voices seemed to be very professional. So I have to sacrifice my sleep for this stupid act. Great. Life can't get any better than this.

I took a deep breathe before walking inside. The moment I saw those people, my whole body froze. Cold sweat drops started forming on my forehead. Please someone say this is an nightmare and wake me up.
