Chapter 46: chapter 46

Mom – We are not greedy people, Aman. Let greed not overwhelm you!Aman – Mom, I know that greed is not a good thing. The result of our actions based on greed is always bad. But here my action is not based on greed. I am thinking about her from every way. Once I become successful there, I will return every penny of their apartment to her dad. Mom – Hmm... So finally, I guess you have made your mind. Aman – A kind of yes. You can say up to ninety percent, my mind has settled for yes. Mom - I can’t say anything now except think again on your decision. It’s your life. You have to decide what’s good for you. Aman – Mom, one thing is disturbing me. That’s why I have reached my decision only up to ninety percent, not a hundred. Mom – What? Aman – One sentence of her mom that is racing in my mind. Mom – What did she say? Aman – She asked me how would I be able to bear the expenses of her daughter since her daugher has very expensive interests. Mom – Oh! Then you must not marry her. Aman – But later on she agreed for an apartment too. I am confused what kind of a woman her mom is. Is she greedy or not? Mom – If you are even one percent sceptic about her, don’t marry her daughter. Otherwise, your life will be destroyed. Aman – Hmm...My mom went back to her kitchen leaving me alone to dwell deep on my marriage problems. I said to myself, “Thank God! Today is Sunday. I really need to think a lot about it.”At about 11 a.m., my phone buzzed. It was Madhumati’s call. I picked up her call. She said in a very excited voice, “Aman, there is a very good news for us!”Aman – Which news? Madhumati – My parents got agreed for our marriage!Aman – Wow! It’s a great news. But...Madhumati – But what? Aman – I haven’t even seen you in real. I mean, I need some more time for my final decision. Madhumati – Haha! You can take your time. I haven’t even seen you either. Don’t worry. We are not going to marry now. First of all, we will come to your home. You can see and we can see you. Only last step left. But I know you must be good looking. Even in your video that you have uploaded in your profile is awesome. Aman – Yours video in your profile is good too. Madhumati – We can’t trust pictures but in videos we come to know how the other looks in reality. Aman – Yeah, you are right. She said in an excited tone, “Now, tell me when should we come to your home?”Aman – I will discuss with my mom and tell you. Madhumati – Okay, discuss soon. Hey, I want to say one more thing to you. Aman – Yeah, say please. Madhumati – I want to kiss you when we will come to your home. I startled to hear that! I asked her, “What! You want to kiss me even before marriage before our parents!”Madhumati – No, my foolish baby! Not in front of our parents! When we will come to your home, our parents will leave us alone for a few minutes in a room to talk to each other. At that time, I want to smooch you! Aman – Oh....I was speechless now! I didn’t know what to utter from my mouth now! I was taken aback by her direct words! Madhumati – It will be a great fun when I will come to your home. I wondered, “How indecent girl she is! She has started talking about bed time, smooch, kisses.... We are not even married yet! Our marriage has not even got finalised yet! What a kind of girl she is! I am sensing danger!”Aman – Yes, it will be a great fun.She smiled and said, “Yeah, really! It will be a great day of my life.”Aman – Hmm... Okay, Madhumati, now I am going to discuss with my mom about us. Let’s see what’s the decision of my mom now...She said in a low sweet voice, “Okay, Aman. Nice talking to you my little baby! I will be curiously waiting for your back call.”Aman – Okay. Nice talking to you too. See you later. Bye. Take care dear. Madhumati – Bye bye. I hung up the call and I directly walked up to my mom and said, “Mom!”Mom – Yes, my son. Aman – I have decided. Mom – What? Aman – I have made my decision regarding Delhi’s family, Madhumati’s family. Mom – So what’s your final answer? Aman – I am not going to marry her!Mom – But why? What made you change your mind? Aman – I can’t leave my job!She took a pause for a couple of seconds and then said in a seemingly wise tone, “You made a very good decision.” She smiled at me and I smiled at her back.I said to myself, “How can I marry such an indecent girl? Now, even if her dad gives me ten crore rupees for marrying her daughter, my answer will be a straight big – NO!”In the evening at about 6 p.m., I texted Madhumati, “Hello Madhumati, how are you? Hope everything is fine. I want to tell you a very important thing now. I discussed about us everything with my mom. I am very sorry to say that my mom’s final answer is no. I know you are a very good girl and your family is awesome. I also know that I don’t deserve you. God must have made a perfect man for you somewhere and you will find him soon, I am sure about it. Any man who comes to your life will be the luckiest man on the earth. Always stay happy and keep smiling.” At about 7 p.m., my phone started ringing. It was kept on charging. I thought, “Oh no! It must be a call of Madhumati. Now, what should I say to her. No matter, how politely I would speak, it’s going to hurt her.” I walked up to my mobile phone and came to know that it was not Madhumati’s call. The call was from an unknown number. “Who could it be?” I picked up the call. I heard a girl’s voice from the other side. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
