Barter - Chapter 2

Scene 1

They - ‘What did we do to deserve this? We may not live for very long now. We desire to see our grand children. Your age is also ideal.’

‘Do you like someone? Tell us, we shall be supportive. Is she of a different caste?’

‘Your mama’s friend was suggesting a ‘rishta’. The girl is a CA. She is very pretty too.’

He- (oh God! Gotta get married!)

Scene 2

They - ‘I am calling today for the last time.  Do you want to get married or not? You have made a fool of us.’

‘We will not force you ever. The decision will always be yours. But to guide you is our responsibility and because we love you we cannot see you going in the wrong direction.’

‘I have stopped stepping out of the house. The neighbors keep asking  about your marriage’

She – Right Mom. I will meet him.

Barter it is.
