Chapter 5

Chaitra along with her uncle reached home,she was happily welcomed by her aunt meena and their two kids,meanwhile Chaitra's mother called her to ask whether she had a safe journey.

Her aunty felt excited by her arrival and she continuously started talking to her,but chaitra looked so tired she didn't spoke much,after absorbing this her aunt asked her to have some rest and droped her to guest room.

It's almost 8pm her aunt called her for dinner,they all had the dinner together and her aunt's kids took her to walk in a park, they played for some time all together and that's how the day has ended.

The very next morning meena went to chaitra wake her up with a bed coffee and asked her to have shower early as they were some guests coming to their house.

As instructed by her aunt,Chaitra dressed herself and as soon as she came out from the bedroom to entrance hall she saw couple of people along with her aunt was so busy in talking.

Her aunt introduced her to them,they started talking to her very nicely and was asking about her Qualification, job,future plans and so on..

After having an hour conversation with her aunt and uncle they all left,as soon they stepped out, chaitra came to her aunt and started asking her like this- Aunty you planned very well,I know it seems like a bridal glances,but you know what you would have asked me before so that you might not have wasted their time and ours.

Chaitra's aunt was sad about her opinion but she thought chaitra was bit angry that she was not informed before and tried to convince her, but chaitra didn't listen to her and chaitra said she is in love with vikram.

Meena: Vikram!!

Chaitra: Yes it's vikram,the boy whom you bought for making alliance.

Meena: But, I already told your parents that he's not ready to get married now.

Chaitra: Oh is it ? then you would have asked him before you share his profile with us.

Meena: I thought he would be nice pair to you, but I didn't thought all this.

Chaitra: So, did I say you to look for the boy

Meena: Shutup chaitra your crossing your words.

Chaitra: Am sorry, but this is all because of you am suffering alot of pain in my heart

Meena: Come on Chaitra,Vikram is just a picture he's not your life,why do you want to think about him?Forget about him, you are such a nice girl and you will get a best person as your husband.

Chaitra: So you mean Vikram is not a good person

Meena: I don't mean it!

Chaitra: (loudly) then tell me what do you mean

Meena: (loudly) Chaitra, am aware that you know everything about Vikram. Vikram told me everything which has happened between you both,ofcourse I myself bought you that match because I found all the qualities in Vikram which you want and what you are deserved,I know him very well from his childhood, so the moment Vikram told that you both were in relation I decided to make an alliance,but.....i tried to plan something but god has planned something differently which you already know

Chaitra: Yes, I know but I don't feel it's a reason to break a relationship,I love him very truely and he does the same no Matter whatever I want him.

Meena: (with tears)Chaitra! I think you did not understand about his health condition, he can't live for many years and you can't marry him,this is not right, as a parent we won't allow our child to step into those situation.

Chaitra hugged her aunt , she said sorry for her harsh behavior and at the same time she said that she can't forget Vikram.

Meena kissed chaitra and said - I know your pain chaitra,but the fact is that you should delete him from your mind and slowly your heart will erase him,don't worry.

Meanwhile chaitra got a call from her colleague from office to check an official email that she got selected to go on onsite to Australia.

O my god!!! it was like a movie totally, Chaitra jumped so high as she felt like she got a wings to fly Australia and meet vikki.

Meena was confused with her behavior and asked her the reason,chaitra told that she's flying to Australia on work.

Meena: For sure that's a good news,so let's celebrate it and I will make a sweet for all of us.

Chaitra: Wow! Meanwhile I'll inform this to mom and dad.

Meena made a sweet and served all, chaitra surprisingly started prolonging the name
Australia again and again to saw her reactions, but her aunt was reactionless.

Chaitra couldn't stopped her from this and she remembered her aunt that Vikram is also in Australia.

Meena: with smile on her face- yes my baby I know he is in Australia, I know that he is working for the same company as you are working in India ,I know that he won't meet you and even if he meets,you can't convince him for the marriage for sure.

Chaitra: So you already planned everything with him right.

Meena: It's not me ,it's him.

Chaitra: what?

Meena: Yes chaitra, morning the guests who are in our house was because of him, it's Vikram who bought a match for you and the boy is Jay who is Vikram's friend and also his colleague, so it would be nice time for you to meet Jay as well.

Chaitra: oh! Fantastic, who is vikram to see all this?

Meena: Chaitra, just forget everything

Meena to divert chaitra from vikram she started talking about something and finally the day was ended.

The very next morning meena was cleaning the house, she found some gifts which was given by her husband before marriage

She showed all the gifts to chaitra and said her this is called love,pointing out her that its is not just a months its years.

Chaitra though she understood what her aunt meant but kept quite.

Meanwhile meena's neighbour who got recently married came to their house with some gifts to her from Switzerland,just to make Chaitra's attention meena with a very loud voice she prolonged the word vacations.

After hearing all the things  chaitra just answered to meena --
Aunty! Love....doesn't mean vacationing in Switzerland, singing in snow or gifting teddy bears or Roses and moreover it's not about how long you are in relationship,it's how well you know each other.
Yes I know vikki for only couple of months, but the feeling which I had on him is neverlasting until my death,that's called love and I can't leave him simply for that silly reason that he can't leave for many years.

It's my final decision that I gonna marry Vikram that's all and am sorry if my words hurts you.

Finally  chaitra hugged her aunty and  said that -I know you are always my well wisher but please don't try to change my mind which can't happen.
