Moving on... 💃💃💃

Something's Rotten in the Night

"Mom! Please just give me some more time."

"No buts! You're getting married and that's it! You've wasted much time in US, fooling us with lies."

"They weren't lies! I really was looking for my passion."

Annapurna glared at Laksh. "And you searched ten years, which is enough. Now, I've decided that your only talent will be to be a good husband and an heir to your father's company."

"Mom!" whined Laksh, dramatically. "You know I don't wan-"

"Want to do business? Well, then tell me what dream job you've decided to pursue?"

Laksh gulped and looked away. "Um...I...I'm good...with making friends?"

Annapurna sighed in exasperation. "AND THAT WILL EARN YOU A FUTURE?! I THINK NOT!"

"Bu-"

"NO BUTS! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED AND THATS IT!"

Laksh watched helplessly as his mother walked off in anger.

"That went well."

Laksh turned to glare at his elder brother hiding behind the door. "Wow! Thanks for all the help you gave."

"Hey, I agreed to help you. I did not agree to help you by compromising my own safety. Mother's scary when she's mad."

Laksh pulled his lips into a thin line. It wasn't like Sanskar was wrong though. He too feared her when she was pissed off. "But I'm too young to be married! I'm only 28!"

"Well, actu-"

"Don't you dare!"

"Okay okay!" Sanskar pacified, raising his hands in surrender. "But what I wanted to say is that married life isn't that bad. I mean look at me! I'm happy with Swara."
