A girl who was raised up by parents who argue all the time until one day they decided to get divorce, completely ignoring that they had a daughter. Living with a parent is always hard, especially when you love them equally and can't l...
"Meine aur bhau ne tere liye ladki dekhe-" (I and daughter in law have seen a girl for you)
"Aur meine iss bare me phele hi mana kar chuke hu. Mujhe nahi karni shaadi." (And I have already said no about this thing. I don't want to get married)
I said while eating. The appetite to eat was over but the manners which I was thought weren't letting me leave the food.
"Purani baato ko chodh ke aage badne ka naam zindagi hai." I clenched my left hand into a fist. (Leaving old things behind is the name of life)
"Aap uss bare please baat mat nikalo na dadi." Radhika said. (Don't talk about it dadi, please)
"Mujhe bhi acha nahi lag raha ye bolte hue par ye ladka samjhta kaha hai koi baat? Satais saal ka toh ho chuka hai. Chalis me karega shaadi? Tere maa baap ka bhi toh soch. Dada, dadi nhi bana na hai kya unhe?" (Even I don't feel good talking about this but does this boy understands anything? He is 27. Will he marry at the age of 40? Think of your parents. Don't you want to make them grandfather and grandmother?)
"Aapko aisa kyu lagta hai k mein kisi bhi ladki se shaadi karunga? Jisse mein janta nahi na kuch. Aur agar kar bhi liya fir mein uski taraf dekhunga bhi nahi toh koi sawal hi nahi uthta maa papa ko dadi dada banane ka." (Why do you think I'll marry someone? Who I don't know or anything. And even if I do then I won't even look at her so there's no questions of parents becoming grandparents)
I said in as polite manner as I could while getting up and leaving to wash my hands and then going back to my room.

The voice of a slap echoed in the hallway and nothing but the cries of di was to be heard.
"Ye din ke liye har chiz diye the humlog ne tujhe?!" Yelled chachi while crying. (For this day we gave you everything?!)
