"Dad you can't do this with me. I have suffered a lot, my wounds are not healed till now and you are telling me to get married and that too with a mere stranger "

'stop it Sonakshi! why do you always argue with me? Have some manners and be a good daughter. You never obey me and now when I am trying to settle you, you are saying me no.
Dad snapped his comment at me.

"Please, dad I don't know that guy. How can you be so sure that he is perfect? I am not ready for the marriage. I never imagined it. I can't. Try to understand " Sonkashi begged her father to stop his baseless argument about marrying a stranger.

"The proposal which has arrived for you is of billion Sonakshi. You are lucky to get this golden proposal. The proposal is best and many people will die to get that man. Stop your useless thoughts and concentrate.
I am begging you this time. Please have mercy on me. And do something for your dad. The boy's family is coming to see you tonight so be prepared and give your best. you have to look perfect and have to make sure that their answer is positive if something from your side happens then better be ready to face the consequences "

He vented out his anger on her blood-related daughter. Why was he always like this. Why can't he understand her? She just wants some time. He always thought that she is useless. Fine. She is. But she has her own life and has every right to decide what she wants and how she wants to lead it. But the situation was worse here. Her dad will never allow her to do what she wants. She was treated like a caged parrot in the cell who was getting treated like a princess but a prisoner is always a prisoner.

' I hate u so much "
She muttered in dismay. She was helpless. All she can do was to crush her demands. Doll her face and act like a good daughter.

"Sonakshi child why don't you listen to your dad. He will always try to think good for you. He is your dad sweetie. "

Her mother consoled her. Her mother who was a puppet of her father's demand. The woman who will never go against her husband. A typical Indian wife.

"Try exactly!  he will try because I am not Natasha. I am not that girl and he wants me to be like her. Since childhood, she has been stealing everything from me. My dad, my family, my love, my name, my place in this house and Manik whom I loved with everything I had. I gave my everything to him and dad in a second destroyed everything. He is selfish just like you and your daughter.  he used his power for fulfilling her wish mother. And what about me. My wishes are always unfilled. Why my jar of wishes is unfilled. "

She cried at her fate. Her mother shook her head in dismay. This was her daily rant. She used to rant about her sorrows but there was no one who would understand her and try to be kind to her. Even her mother was unaffected.

"Sonakshi be ready tonight. I don't want your dad to increase his blood pressure just because of you. Now no arguments."

Asha said in an authoritative tone.

"I wish you were like this Infront of your husband. Then maybe my life would have been a little good. "

She hissed at my mother.

She can't do anything. She can't go against his husband decision. She too left her alone. This was not the first time when she was left alone. Alone with darkness, loneliness, and cries.

'DEV '
A beautiful lady in her fifties called out for her son who was busy working.
Dev closed his laptop and looked at his mom.

Dev looked at his mom who was ready to start her marriage lecture again.

" Mom, Please no more marriage questions and answers. I am coming with you today,so please. no questions about clothes and anything. I know you will choose the best for me. I trust you and dad. Now please let me complete my work. "

'but dev what if the girl rejects you. So you need to look handsome and well mannered
'
'Dev Dixit rejects girls, girls never reject Dev Dixit "

He said dramatically snapping his fingers infront of his mom. Dev is an enthusiastic personality these type of antics were his moves he would always do such things for his mom and she would laugh at his behaviour. They both shared a very friendly bond. Dev knew her parents were his best friends. They knew him and always supported him in everything. Despite being a single child. He never craved for siblings because his mother and father were always present to fill all those empty spaces in his life. Dev had agreed for the girl without taking any sort of information. He trusted his mom and dad more than his life. But His mom and dad knew that it was the biggest decision of his life. Hence, they wanted him to meet the girl once and tell his final decision to them.

He hugged his mom and said

' I love you mom '

' I love you too son. I and your dad we both are proud of you'

She said caressing his hairs.

Sonakshi sat in her friend's room eating the hot chips like a hippo.she was literally stuffing those potato chips like a gorilla stuffing banana in his mouth. After the whole marriage fiasco, she was here to seek some help from her intelligent friend. She had dictated her whole marriage story to say And here sayali was pacing here and there to get some solutions. Sayali was busy running her brain horses to get an awesome solution to this problem for her best friend.

"sayali stop walking right and left give me a solution bro"

'Sonakshi how is the boy? '

"I don't know and I am least bothered  about him you just tell me how to get out of this shit " she banged the pillow on the bed.

'Ajj ke century kaa hai toh modern Hoga. ( if he belongs to this century then he will be modern)'

" Are you mad? I am getting married to a man. Not an old man. What is this century thing? "

Sayali gave her an impossible look.

"Shut up and listen to me. He is modern So you know what? boys who are modern love hot and beautiful girl right.But. but"

"Grammar rules But is never used twice continuously. Now move your but train and elaborate your plan to me please "

"Is he Rich?"

"very rich! That's the sole reason why dad wants me to marry him. "

"idea"

Sayali shouted jumping  on bed while Sonakshi jumped in excitement too. Her best friend is the best creature in this world.

'Mujhe bata naa Kya Hai idea. ( please tell me what is your idea )"

"if the boy is rich then he will need a presentable all good wife right. Who marries a typical Indian girl who wastes her all-time in handling a dupatta and adoring the floor. This is the 20th century. Every boy dreams for a girl who is sassy and bold and is hot in every aspect."

'What the hell! I am modern and I am hot. I am updated until now. Are you disrespecting me? Don't you know how many boys die on me "

"My mother, that's the thing. Every boy dreams for a girl like you. But what if you dress like a typical Indian girl who is so engrossed in her whole world. Then that Richie rich will reject you. And the ghost of marriage from your father's head will vanish. Problem solve. Just dress like a typical cultural girl."

"nice, sansakari (typical ) look and the boy vanished. What a plan! But it sounds little - leave it this is it. I will make sure this happens."

They both shared a hi-fi and laughed evilly. Sonakshi didn't understand her full speech but nodded her head positively as she new sayali has a great set of evil ideas.

I rewrote the whole chapter. And I think I need to write the whole book again. I used a lot of exclamation marks and misused punctuations so much. I was a horrible writer. And I adm

better. I promise. I want to know you all again. I missed you all. ❤
