"Why on earth is Grandmother so stubborn at this age?" Karan asked as he sucked the orange in his hand. Saraswati peeled more for him.

"I don't know, son" Aunt Jigyasa answered, with her eyes fixed on the magazine. When it comes to fashion, she makes sure to get all the vital messages and latest designs.

"Let her just allow us to get married" He continued. "I deserve to be with the woman that I love. Don't I?"

"Yes, dear," Saraswati answered, her own eyes fixed on her son. She handed him another orange and continue to peel the remaining on the tray.
