67 Fast Forward (1/2)

The months passed like days for Punya and Prakruth. As it was second PU for Punya, the stress levels were high, Maths made her life miserable. Thrishul was always with Punya using studied as a reason.

On the other hand Prakruth was enjoying his engineering college with new friends, assignments and related field trips.

Communication got restricted to the phone only. They could meet once in a month that too for only few hours. They sacrificed their urge to meet for their career.

Punya was relieved when her final exams got over on April first week. She decided to sleep whole day.

That day evening, Thrishul came home and asked Narmada ”Aunty where's Punya?”

”She will come in few minutes, she just got up few minutes back. How did you do in your exams??” asked Narmada.

”Except Maths, everything else went well” he said.

”Does that mean you'll score less in Maths??” asked Varun who entered the house.

”Yes Uncle might be in 80s” he replied.

”That's not less Thrishul” said Punya who walked in wiping her wet face with a towel.

Thrishul chuckled and said ”All other subjects will be 95+,so that's less for me”.

”What about you my darling???” asked Varun.

”My overall percentage might be around 70s. I'll thank God, if I don't fail in Maths” she shrugged.

Everyone laughed.

”Appa you may be disappointed with my performance but I'm really sorry, I couldn't understand anything in Maths” said Punya sitting next to her father.

”I will be disappointed if you fail but if you pass, I ensure that I will not force you to take Maths related field in future” said Varun.

”Thanks Appa” said Punya and hugged her father. Varun embraced her and kissed on her head.

”Are you still sticking to agriculture Punya??” asked Thrishul.

”Yes strongly” she replied.

”So you have to study till the CET exams” said Thrishul.

”Yes some books related to agriculture” said Punya and asked her father ”Appa, I will need some practical experience. Can I stay in our farm??”

”In our farm?? House isn't ready yet. The construction is going on. How can you stay there??” asked Narmada.

”Yes baby, it is not yet ready to stay” said Varun. Her grandparents walked in after a evening walk.

”Oh then how will I get practical experience? CET agri entrance paper is based on practical terms only” said Punya.

”You can stay in Prakruth's farms, he'll be able to help you too” said Varun. Thrishul folded his fingers into a fist in anger.

”Alone?? No, she can't go alone and stay there” said Narmada.
