* Time lapse to 40 day*

TANYA SHARMA

Today is my result, and I would be lying if I said I am not afraid or nervous, since yesterday night i am having anxiety, this result will decide my future, and I don't know what will happen if I didn't score well. Rohan has been on call with me since night calming me.

I can't believe it's been 40 days of us dating, and it's really nice feeling, I didn't knew being with someone more then friends will be this good, more then that being with the right person that matters, till date Rohan has been nothing but best.

We have went on 4 dates till today and talk with each other on call almost daily, and it has become an addiction on, we don't feel good if we don't talk,we have also decided a timing when we both are free at night to talk as I don't want to disturb him during his working hours and not being a clingy girlfriend I reform my self from calling him, but we do text each other in middle of the day and we reply whenever we get time. As staying home for more than a month I have started to write, and have started exploring my self on my passion.

My results will be out in 15 minutes, and Sonu is still not here, I tell this girl don't care, she is so chilled out regarding results.

I took my phone to call her but that moment my room door opened and she entered with my mother, 'were you about to call me?' she asked.

" Where were you? Results will be out in 15 minutes and you are coming now!" I said with ahuff.

"Tanu, 15 more minutes are left chill", my mother said.

As I was going to reply I received a text and saw it was from Rohan.

Rohan: Tanu, please chill I know you would be freaking out about your results but always remember to trust yourself, you know you have given 100% for your work and you will get that kind of result. Just trust your self and stop freaking out, and we are meeting today evening, and it will be your treat.

He texted with a wink. This guy can make me calm in an instant and I was smiling ear to ear as i got excited to meet him, we are meeting after an entire week and I am excited, I hear a cough besides me and saw Sonu and my mom smirking.

"What, come here fast we should login our self", I said to divert the topic.

"Aunty hasn't Tanu become too calm now?" asked Sonu and I side eyed her.

"I know right, I think some one texted her and it helped."My mother said.

Yes, my  mom knows about me and Rohan, I can't hide anything from her. So second date I told my m,other everything, first she was kind of not ready to accept but later she understood and also supports me.

I and Sonu logged in our account and waited for results, I was continuously praying. After a minute or so our results were declared I opened the mail and saw and I couldn't believe, my hard work paid off I have received 89% and I am looking at the screen shockingly, later my mom and Sonu hugged me and Sonu also got 85% we both were shouting like a mad woman and my mother went out to bring sweets for us.

I quickly texted Rohan about our results and we was also waiting for my text, he congratulated us and said he is waiting for his treat.

"Mom came in the room and gave us sweet that she cooked, I and Sonu both were grinning madly, Sonu was talking to her mother, her mother said to reach home soon as they were also waiting for the results to be declared.

After some time Sonu left and we decided to meet tomorrow, I went down and saw my mom talking to someone on call, with her expression I came to know it's my aunt.

"Didi, she has just received her results, let her get a proper job and later I will talk to her, I don't want to talk about it right now, nor I want to force her into this, I know Tanu she will say no", My mom said.

As soon as she saw me she told my aunt that she will call her later and disconnected the call.

"Mom, today, right now you will talk to me about what is aunt nagging you about, I have seen you trying to divert the topic everything nor aunt is talking to me properly from some days, what's the matter?

"Tanu, there is nothing like that, you don't worry", she said and tried to left the kitchen but I stopped her.

"No, mom enough is enough, today you will say what is going on", I said stubbornly.

"Your aunt wants you to start seeing guys for marriage, you know your aunt is conservative, and her thinking is old, she doesn't want you to work", my mom said.

"What!! how can aunt think something like that, don't she know about my dreams and wants, you know right I have some dreams and I want to fulfill it, I want to make you and papa proud, I don't want to rely on any one, and most importantly you know I have started dating Rohan, than, why can't you say directly to aunt that I said a no"I said angrily.

"I was very angry on my aunts thoughts, she has always been like this, she always had a problem against us girls achieving something, first it was cousin sister Riya and now me.

"Mom, you clearly say aunt that I am not ready and I am not going to talk about marriage for next 2-3 years, and that's final." I said and stomped out of the house.

"I was so happy today, it was going to be a best day for me, but what is turned out to be, I was so frustrated, I wanted to talk to some one, I called Sonu first but she didn't receive the call, so the only person came on my mind was Rohan.

I called Rohan, he picked up my call after a some time"Where were you?Why you didn't pick up my call, when I need some one no one is there", I said  angrily.

"Hii, what happened why you are so angry, today you should be happy than why angry?"he asked in a calm manner but I was no where going to calm.

"Because there is no use of me scoring so well, at the end of the day from us girls it is always expected to get married and serve the family, our dreams, our career is nothing", I said.

"Tanu what happened?" he asked.

"What happened? my aunt wants me to get married, she doesn't want me to work, she doesn't want me to achieve my dreams, she is manipulating my mother to convince me to start seeing guys for marriage" I said.

"Tanu, talk to your mother and say you are not ready, you shouting and getting angry won't lead to anything", he said.

"I don't want to talk to any one right now, and also not going home, I need to calm my mind and then will go, right now I am going to the library. Bye", I said and disconnected the call.

I was very angry, why in our society till date some people think that when girls turn 21 they have to get married, they don't have any choice or can fulfill any dreams, a girl is not expected to dream of achievement but to dream of a happy married life, why girls dreams are always thought as secondary, why when a girl reaches a certain age is is trained to get married and not trained to work.

I don't understand, when will this stop, when will girls also have rights to marry after she has achieved her dreams, I am not saying that get married is wrong, it is amazing to find a partner and an additional family to be with you, but with that girls dreams are also important right. My sister Riya had to get married by 22 as she was not allowed to work, she was pressurized and I knew hoe sad she was, it took so much of time for her to settle in as she was not ready, not physically nor mentally.

I am sure, I will fight back, I will fulfill my dreams, work hard and then think of marriage, I will fight with my family if I have to, but I will change the thinking of my aunt.
