Tsar and I walked to my house . To take our scolding and the blessings .
" Papa , where is maa ? " I asked papa when we sat in the living room .
"Kanu , you can't expect her to welcome you with a pooja thaali . " Papa unintentionally killed all my hopes .
" Papa , we are really happy with each other ." Tsar tried to clear the doubts .
" Happy ? You got married today ,Tsar. How can you say that in a day ? . And , son , happiness is not what makes a marriage work . Its understanding .And you two are from different backgrounds . You cannot force each other to accept every aspect of each other's life ." Papa argued .
" Papa , you said I could choose my own groom .He is the one . I have accepted him .And I will surely not regret it later ." I said holding Tsar's hand .
" Then if you have chosen for yourself , please , honor us by leaving the house . " Mom's voice echoed in my ears as she stood in front .
" Maa , I am not sure if I should be sorry for marrying Tsar . But I am sorry for breaking your heart ." I quivered .
"Breaking my heart ? You , stupid girl , you have harmed our pride , our culture ,our bloodline marrying an Anglo-Indian . And then start eating pork and beaf just like those fellows ." Maa shouted.
" Maa you can curse me , scold me and slap me but please don't say anything about Tsar . Its my fault that I never told you I wanted to marry him while he budged me ever since to tell you and not betray you like these . I am sorry ." I said breathing heavily .
" Maa , please we are sorry. I'll take care of Kanu ." Tsar said calmly to my hotheaded mother .
"Please leave both of you ."She said and rushed into the kitchen .
I bent down to touch the feet of my father while my sisters gave death glares to me for marrying before they did . I was surprised when another hand came and touched my papa's feet .
It was Tsar's .
" Take care both of you .May all our Gods shower you with your blessings ."He said and patted both our heads .
Tsar took hold of my hand as we walked out of the house . We had a long journey to travel .A long way to go now . The distance that could be summed up to 4 meters !
It was good Tsar and I were neighbors because right now I just wanted to hop into the bed and hibernate after a tiring day .
