Preeti's point of view
"Good evening mummy." I greet my mother in a dull voice, when i came home.
" Good evening beta..tired?" she asked me.
" yeah little bit." i said while putting my hand beg on a table.
"you want something?" she asked me from the kitchen.
"no... mummy, i'm fine. What are you doing?" i asked her while making my way to the kitchen and picked the glass from the shelf. I opened the fridge and took out a water bottle.
"cooking dinner. you freshen up till then i'll prepare dinner and come fast your papa wants to talk to you.
Actually we both wants to talk to you." she tell me and add some spices in the curry.
"Did i do something wrong?" i asked her confusingly and pore some water in my glass from the bottle.
"why do you always think that you do something wrong. He just wants to talk to you." she tell me now looking at me.
"yeah because he always scolded me without any reason." i said with a smile while drinking a water from glass.
"that's his way to show a love towards you." she tell me in a understanding tone.
"i know mummy... just kidding. i love him too."i said while washing the glass and put it back in the shelf.
I looked at her last time and turn around to go to my room upstairs.

After dinner i, papa and mummy sitting in the living room having ice cream, vanilla my favorite.
Papa clear his throat,"ahem..ahmm"
"preeti, beta I want to talk to you something important. "papa said to me very politely.
" beta you know your sister shivani got married at your age,and I and your mother know that this is the perfect time to think about your marriage too."papa looked serious.
" i know papa, but I don't know i'm ready for the marriage or not." I told my parents truthfully.
Mummy hold my hands in her hands and said,"beta their is not a thing of perfect time, jo aucha hona hata hai wo ho jata hai.(if anything good happen, it happens),you always get confused till you won't meet a man you want to marry".
"Last week i met my old friend Malhotra ji, you know him right?"papa asked me.
Preeti's point of view
"Yes i know him." I nodded my head as yes.
"hmm..he told me about a kapoor family. They live in NEWYORK(U.S.A.). I met mr. kapoor once when he came to India. he is a gentleman. He have a son name Siddharth and daughter keerti. Mr. Malhotra asked your hand for Siddharth.Malhotra ji is a close friend to Kapoor's family." papa said with a smile on his face.
"I already send your photo to Malhotra ji. Malhotraji called me today and told me that mr.and mrs. kapoor liked your photo and they wants to meet you on next sunday. Preeti i know this is a big decision of your life but beta somewhere my heart is telling me that Siddharth is a boy who will make you happy forever. so what is your decision." Papa said with a serious face.
My parents looking at me hopely.
" papa i don't know what is good or bad for me but i know one thing you choose best for me in all over the world. If you think this is best for me then yes from my side as well." I told my parents with a smile.
Mummy happily hug me and kissed on my forehead.
"I knew , you will say yes." papa caresing my head.
