After her uncle left, she sat near the window and passed the look away. Her uncle and her mum left her all alone in the room. She sat and started crying, until all her tears dried up and dozed off.
NIKITA’S PRO:
Did I forget to introduce myself? I’m Nikita Gupta…a lecturer in engineering college….I have everything, everything that includes a perfect life…I always wanted to cherish my living with that most independent sense. Yeahhh…I’m at my 24 and I really don’t feel like any girl shouldn’t be denied the right with the way she should. But, in my case, Naaah…the line that ‘I want to search for a perfect soul mate’ doesn’t exist…And the reason is because I have been living with a family where my parents will decide whom to get married. I kept wondering what should I do…? Rather pack my bags and run away from this place or agree to what they’ll say…I had no option…So, I decided to give it a thought…That whole night, I kept dealing with my weird thoughts that were flooding my mind. I desperately wanted to live life on my own terms and conditions, but had left with no choices.
The very next day, I decided to search those two guys on facebook. But, there was no such feeling known as first sight ‘love’. Then I decided to talk to my dad. But, even his opinion was worthless because ‘Daughters can’t be kept home till 27! ’ I had no choice then to meet one of them whom I short-listed. Hailing from a very conservative family, I had to get ready in traditional attire…But, this attire was covering my own sentiments that I had for myself. I wanted to follow my heart, but somewhere I also thought about my parents…I was meeting the guy only for my parents and not for me. You know, somewhere in our lives we all surely dream of living happy and independent, but there comes a time when we have to crush all those dreams and follow what takes us…Even I was also a part of this drama now…Meeting a guy 4 years elder to me, with no mutual connection rather no mutual communication too. Just a facebook dp is not always enough to understand what sort of a guy we are meeting or would be spending those rest 45 years together…Rather just a perfect connection and things all done. But, in my case I wanted to live life independently.
Seeing my career and my personal space, I decided to reject that ‘man’.’How’s the guy beta?’ mum asked. ‘Elder to me; compatibility issues and more than this, he is the one who believes in just show off and nothing more’ I quoted.’ How can you just say this?’ spoke dad. ‘Did you take the urge to ask me about my choice dad? Exactly what kind of boy I want? And most importantly do I want to get married or not?’ I asked. ‘Every girl has to marry. What are you going to do living single?’ mum baffled at me. ‘See mum when I had given you a chance to fight for my right, you simply ignored. Rather you didn’t understand and what is the use of communicating with you. It’s my last and final decision that I don’t want to marry, as in for now’ I said. ‘Just stop it here. Do you think that we are your enemies Nikita?’ said dad angrily. ‘Of course not! But, even I’m not your enemy dad…rather I’m your only daughter who is asking her own space and her own privacy of rejecting someone I really don’t know’ I argued peacefully. ‘See how your daughter is behaving with me. If she goes to some other place, will she argue with them in the same manner’ shouted dad looking at mum.’ Leave it! I know you are not going to understand me. Let’s end this and I’m leaving this place’ I said with that heavy pain. ‘Do as you want’ dad replied….I without going into further discussions decided to leave everything on my destiny….Seeing me physically alive but mentally dead, they decided to communicate with me.
Seeing me sitting alone silently in my room, dad asked, ‘ How have you been these days baccha?’ ’Why dad?’ I asked. ‘No beta. I know you’ve suffered alot I know. I know somewhere I have been working as per this society’s norm. But, I really didn’t wanted to take away your that right which you dreamt. My daughter wanted to say something and I didn’t give her a chance to say anything. Neither I respected your decision nor did I appreciate your ‘rejection’. I’m really very sorry beta. Just take your space and your own time which you wanted. We won’t force you for anything Nitika’ said dad smiling at me. ‘Thank you dad. Thank you for respecting my decisions’ I said.
This was not an end rather just a perfect beginning of her profession. If every father takes an urge to hear those unspoken words of a daughter, I’m sure every king will understand his princess and will surely search for a perfect prince charming of her choice.. !!!
