For Samayra, being a successful veterinary doctor was enough. For her parents, It wasn't.
They say, For those, who fail to find love, there's always arranged marriage.
Yeah, it's the truth but.. How do you fall in love when it's a compulsion and no...

I couldn't sleep with the thought of Samayra walking around and ready to strangle me with the pillow. So, I just got off the bed and slid on my sweats before walking down the stairs.
"Good morning, Dad." I say as I pass him sitting on the couch reading the newspaper.
"Good morning son. Up early?" he asks and I nod.
"I'll just head out for a run. I'll be back in half an hour if that's okay with you?" I ask.
Is that how Samayra feels living in her in-laws house? Having to ask permission and make sure they aren't offended by your slightest actions.
"Sure, Go and get some fresh oxygen. Take a right from the cross-section down the lane. There's a water canal you can run beside." He says.
"I'll sure check it out. See you." I say and walk out of the house, following the directions he gave me. There was indeed a water canal, that would have passed for a river if not for the bricked and tiled sides proving it to be man-made for the purpose of water-supply to the agriculture lands away from the natural sources.
There was a muddy path along the side of the flowing water with huge eucalyptus trees shielding it from the main road. The rushing water sent a cold breeze on my face. I jogged further lost in my thoughts as my body warmed up and I picked pace.
It's weird how life can change so much in so little time. I was the impatient playboy and here I am being the wiser one in the relationship.
Honestly, I wanted I.G Rohit to issue me a search warrant on my father-in-law's words. But knowing the reason they drifted apart, I'm not gonna tell him to talk to him again. I need a new way to tackle this. I can't risk getting a search warrant through the whole hierarchy as someone is an informant for the wrong side.
My phone rings distracting me from my thoughts. I reach in my pocket and pick it up.
"Bro, I'll be with you in less than 5 hours." Avinash says on the other side as I hear honking of cars from his background.
"Are you driving while putting the phone on your ear?" I ask breathing heavily as I had paused running and started brisk walking.
"I used Bluetooth. But Why are you panting? Oh ho.. Did I disturb you and Samayra in some morning action?" He says mischievously.
"Firstly, I'm just out for a morning run and secondly, I know the difference of sound with your car's Bluetooth." I argue wanting to prove him wrong and catch his lie like the detective I am.
Though I'm sure this detective instinct is what got me rejected from Samayra.
But this is Avinash and this is exactly how we've been for years.
