''I don't what's going to be her future...this guy too rejected her'' Bhoomi heard her mom Jaya talking to her dad Arun, she huffed. The no. of rejection had reached close to 30+. Her parents were clueless about the reasons, some said they wanted to checkout more girls, many found her to simple , not presentable which was hard to believe and above all there was one who said she was amazing but he wasn't getting the feel of having her as his wife.

It hurt when she got rejected the first time, tears won't stop following from her eyes. But after 2,3,4 she started getting used to it. Now it was just like process she had to go through for her parents sake. Bhoomi showed no emotion , she stayed calm before and after every rejection, but somewhere inside her something was dying. Bhoomi was the youngest of the 3 siblings, Brijesh the eldest one was settled in US he had a degree in engineering from a top notch college which earned him a high salary job . Brijesh was married and a father of a 5 yr old girl. He was extremely closed to Bhoomi, he understood her turmoil like no one.

Avni was the second after Brijesh, life for her can be summarized into a single sentence; 'I am the best' .Blessed with soft feminine looks and great body she kept world at her heels. Avni kept floating in her dream land imagining prince charming on a white horse. Her parents understood that she was least interested in studies or making a career so they got her married at the age of 21 even before her brother. Avni now a mother of a 8 yr old boy just had one job, to put some intelligence in her sisters brain about how to impress a guy. According to Avni girls were born to compromise like she was doing now bored of her mundane life of being a Rich house wife .

'I am leaving for work' Bhoomi informed while walking out of the door but her mother's voice halted her steps; ''eat something''

Bhoomi wanted to, but thought of hearing the same discussion about her alliance made her stomach churn ..she decided against it; ''Mom I have a early login, will eat in office'' Bhoomi was an MBA in marketing from a prestigious college, she was a merit holder. Smart ,good looking soft spoken and utterly confident Bhoomi was loved my her colleagues and friends. But she was a threat to the opposite sex. Her intelligence would shock her suitors, even the most educated ones. Bhoomi believed in conversations and she openly did it. But once she would start the one opposite to her would realize how well read and knowledgeable she was. She could speak on any topic, her intelligence gave some people a feeling of being inferior.

At 26 Bhoomi was a Brand manager with an MNC Marketing Agency, Her brother Brijesh was very proud of her. Bhoomi parked her car into the basement of her office premises. Locking it she took a moment closing her eyes. When she opened them she had a bright smile on her face ready to take the world by storm.

The day went quite eventful for Bhoomi, she was being applauded for her latest marketing campaign, her Boss Ashima was more of a friend to Bhoomi. Ashima had a daughter a little younger than Bhoomi, she was a friend philosopher guide for Bhoomi . Ashima knew all what Bhoomi was going through , she knew all this was just because her past suitors couldn't handle her intelligence and it was just the matter of time when right one comes in picture. But all this couldn't act as a relief on what she faced at home. Her parents constant banter and grief on her getting rejected was becoming an epidemic to Bhoomi's mind. Ashima could easily differentiate between Bhoomi's real and fake smile...she decided to give Bhoomi a break, which might not look like a break to Bhoomi

NY USA

It was 7:30 AM in NY, Brijesh was having his coffee when his cell started ringing. Looking at the id he smiled ; ''Hi bachaa (kid) how are you''

Bhoomi; ''Mad...confused....as always''

Brijesh; ''And why''

Bhoomi; ''Bhai, Ashima gave me a promotion to Circle head but for Mumbai location. Its an amazing offer plus I will be out of this maddening situation about my marriage...but what about Mom-Dad''

Brijesh; ''Listen Bhoomi, take the opportunity. Mom-Dad I will handle''

Bhoomi; ''Bhai you don't understand...they think my qualification and career achievements is the reason for constant rejection. If I tell them this they will ask me to quit''

Brijesh; ''do you want to go''

Bhoomi; ''yes...more than anyone. I need it''

Brijesh; ''Fine...I will speak to Mom –Dad go home'' . Bhoomi kissed her cell making her brother laugh at the other end. After months she was happy...she wanted to break free and she got the perfect opportunity.

Brijesh kept his word, by the time Bhoomi reached her home her parents were in some other zone. They were excited about flying to US, Brijesh gave them a perfect reason that their grand daughter was missing them. He also convinced them about letting Bhoomi go to Mumbai with a promise that she would eventually come back. Meanwhile, Brijesh hired a marriage consultant without anybody's knowledge to find the best match for his best sister

Mumbai

Varun ran out of the lift of his apartment complex half dressed, he was late again. It was his weekly schedule to have breakfast with his parents and grandmother staying in a beach view bungalow. But as always he switched off the alarm and went back to sleep. If you are thinking partying with girls or something kept him up all night..then no . Varun came from an affluent family of builders, he had a wonderful foreign education to his credits. He had worked with a well known MNC for few years but then working under a boss was not his thing....he desired to be his own boss. He took loan from his father and started his own travel company. Now he had 100+ employees working for him.

Varun had no intention of moving out of his parents house, but constant nagging about marriage forced him to . He wasn't against marriage , but against getting married just because he was 30 and society says he should was not his thing. He wasn't looking just for a life partner whose life would revolve around pleasing him. Varun wanted a girl who could be his best friend, a partner in everything . Someone who had guts to call him wrong even when he wouldn't agree . In short he wanted someone who would be honest enough to love him yet correct him when he goes wrong.

But luck had not been kind, girls who met him were hell bent on flattering and impressing him , because he was Varun Mathur, son of Diljeet Mathur . They would act so fake at times that he felt suffocated talking to them. He hated rejecting girls . He knew it broke hearts , but his mother won't stop sending more to him. Hence, he decided to take a break from all .

Varun entered the dining hall with all eyes on him. He leaned and kissed his grandmother on the top of her head; ''Hey gorgeous, missed me??''

Granny; ''Oh yes, a lot specially watching the romantic movie you suggested'' Varun gave a heart filled laughter his Mom Karuna smiled , she knew this was the time she cloud push Varun to go by her way or it will take another week; ''Varun , what are your plans regarding settling down''

Varun curled his lip making his dad smile; ''Mom I am settled, if you are asking about marriage then I would first like to clear the loan I have taken from dad. What if tomorrow he sues my wife''

Karuna shook her head, but giving up was not her thing; ''Sure son, but I have a proposition. Find a life partner of your choice in a year or marry as per our wish''

Varun knew there was no escape..he agreed. He made up his mind to find his best match , a little research gave him the contact of the best marriage consultant. Varun submitted his requirements , he was excited and anxious to see if there was someone exactly like he wanted.
