SANYUKTA POV

Last night I slept late. Only one thing is roaming in my mind how my life turn so suddenly from left to right. I was never expecting Maa and sir will asked us about engagement or marriage stuff. It is really a shocked for us. I never think of this if I seriously tell u. And if I think may be a year or two later I will go for it but now I don’t have choice coz the bomb already dropped on us.

Its not like that i m not happy yes i m.. that’s why I agreed with him. But I m not sure that i m fully ready for this or not… there will be a new responsibility comes and I don’t know I m ready for this to take.

There is knock on my door and I stop thinking. Maa peeked and stepped in.

Maa: good morning bachaa...

I: good morning maa..

I folded my legs under the blanket so she can sit. She sits but her face is void, blank, there is nothing except a seriousness. I got it there will be serious talk between us. She take my hands into hers.

Maa: Sanyu sach sach batana ...

I looked at our joined hand and she paused and next she continue.

Maa: tu khush to hai na jo humne decision liya tum dono k liye ?

I mentally rolled my eyes now what is the reason of asking it when they already decided. But she seemed tensed. Okay its not funny..

I: maa kya hua ?

She signed.

Maa: kal raat jb woh dono chale gaye tum tensed thi.. muje laga ki pressure m tune haa ki h and...

She trailed off... but I signed in defeat.

I: maa aisa kuch ni h it just that I m confused that I m ready or not. M kal ready isilye ho gayi coz Randhir was happy. He really wants this and which make me more happy.. but jb m apne aap ko or akele m dekhu to lagta h I m confused and muje ni pata yeh new responsibility kaise handle karungi and u know humare relation m Randhir k kitne efforts h or mere kitne. Or kal jab aap dono n aise pucha woh shock s kum ni tha. Meine or Randhir n kabhi is par baat ni ki...so thoda tensed ho gayi.. but aisa ni h m khush ni hu... i m happy.

She released her breath like some burden removed from her shoulder.

Maa: muje laga ki tu bi un dusre officers or soldiers ki tarah bolegi jaise filmo m hota h ki meri job and m dusre ki life ko bleh bleh...

I chuckled and next moment we r laughing...

Maa: but I m happy tu tyaar h... and muje pata h u can handle all ur new responsibility.

I: thanks maa.. I hope m yeh kar saku...

She give me small smile and kiss my forehead.

Maa: waise now I can think about my grandchildren....

She start dreaming and my smile vanished and my eyes come out of socket.. what the hell it was... I caught off guard... grandchildren where it come from. I m just ready for engagement not for marriage and I will take time for my child to born after marriage.

Maa: u see m marne s phele apne grandchild ya children ko dekhungi...

She clapped her hands like a kid and her eyes are light up.. I shake myself and

I: maa... grandchildren ???

She nodded.

Maa: m to bahut time s plan kar rhi thi kb mere grandchildren aayenge and finally now tu engaged hogi then 1-2 saal baad teri shaadi then mera grandchild hoga jo muje nani maa kahega then m finally aaram s tere papa k pass jaungi.
