12 Excited for Meeting (1/2)
In Pune,
In Patel Family, everyone is happy about visiting the village. They are packing their bags and also buying some stuff to bring to the village. Grandpa and Grandma have given instructions to buy gifts for all the family members of his friend they are visiting.
The only family of the elder uncle is not going and the reason for that is that someone is needed in Pune to take care of business if an emergency arises.So, elder uncle, elder aunt and his elder son Arpit are not going to the village.
Akash does not do anything related with preparation for the journey and visit as he does not feel like doing anything and even packing of his clothes is done by his mother. Just a few more days and they will depart for Singrauli district in MP state. The village of that girl is there.
He puts himself in his grandfather's shoes and thinks it is really difficult for him to say No for a 10-year-old promise and he can only put all his hopes on that dumb village girl.
Akash made his full mental preparation on how he will tell her that he does not love her and is being forced into marriage against his own wishes and hope that girl will understand.
”She should not be so dumb to be caught in a loveless marriage,” He thought.
He was still afraid of many things. What if that dumb girl did not understand his intentions? What if she is also stupid enough to not care if there is love or not?
”I should have visited the village a few times in the past. I should have known about this marriage then. At least I would have known how these dumb villagers think.” Akash muttered to himself while lying on his bed. Because if knew how villagers think about love and marriage, he can deduce what the response of that girl would be. Or he can plan his words to make her say No.
He remembers that his sister Ira has already started calling that girl her sister-in-law. He felt annoyed remembering all the embarrassing situations at his home due to this marriage talk and said with gritted teeth ”Village girl! I will give you one chance to prove that you are not so dumb after all. Just one chance.”
After all these mental stress, Akash really felt frustrated and soon dozed off to sleep.
