AUTHOR'S POV
Hajo, Assam
2:00 AM
It was midnight. The cool breeze of the air touches her face softly. Avni was looking at the moon while sitting at her balcony. Suddenly her tears started to flow.
Mama... Papa.....
Her voice was trembling while remembering her parents.
"Mama... Papa.... Why you left me alone in this world? Why you didn't take me along with you? Why God, you snatched them from me?"Unknowingly, a drop of tears flows down her cheeks
"Nahi, mein aisa kyun soch rahi hoon. I have my Aata. Mereko aisa nhi sochna chahiye."
[No, why am I thinking like this... I must not think about this.
Aata means Grandfather in Assamese]
She gets up slowly and goes inside.
Next morning. Avni finished the household chores. Her Aata came and ask " Avni, are you done with the work."
"Yes, Aata kya hua?"
[What happened Aata]
He sits down at the verandah.
"Could you give those sacks of grains to Ramesh?"
"Okay. First have your chai."
She gave him chai and carry those sacks of grains.
Little Avni barely know about the world when her parents were killed in a brutal car accident. After their death, her Aata(Harish) became financially unstable. Harish took the place of her parents while working in a mill factory and as a helper in one of the mansions. Despite, her financial condition, she was excellent in her studies and completed her graduation. But as she was really fond of flowers, she decided to make it as her occupation.
Now Avni is 24 years old. Her height (5'3). Her beauty and grace was just like a goddess. Her hair flowing gracefully at her back with the rhythm of the wind, a mole present near her lower lip, a dimple on her right checks and on top of that her black doe eyes which can make anyone lethal.
Vyan was also from that same village. His overall appearance was average but still looks good. His height was about 5'8. He is known for his calmness and now he is 26 years old.
Avni loves him but couldn't express.
She reached near his house. She pecks through the gate to check his presence. But he was no where found, she released her breath. But Vyan was collecting water from the handpump.
Vyan saw her and a small chukle escaped his lip. Avni was too shy to look at him, she looks down and hurriedly went inside carrying the sacks.
Vyan was adoring her childish action.
"Avni when will you start loving me?"He whispered to himself.
It was getting dark. She got back home. Her friend, Taru and others were having pakoda and chai.
She suspected them "That is from where?"
Taru giggles "Madam, what you are thinking is true. We met Vyan bhai and he bought these for us."
She frown "Tu bhi na!!"
"I don't know, what are you thinking. We all know you love him but you don't want to express that. Why are you torturing him with your silence?" Taru slightly irritated.
Avni said "Taru, I don't have a stable job and mujhe unki mummy kuch theek nahi lagti."
[Something is fishy with his mom]
Taru angrily lightly hits on Avni's head "Agar sab log aise hi sochenge toh koi pyaar hi nahi karega and by the way you need to stay with him not with you saas."
[If anyone thinks like this then no one will love.
Saas- mother-in-law]
"Saas ke saath hi toh Ghar pe rahena hai. I am scared of her and staying quiet is the best that I can do." Avni stated sadly.
[But we'll be staying under same roof.]
Taru - "Okay. Let auspicious time comes and I'll be the one who will push you inside Vyan bhai's van."
It was night and everyone were having their dinner.
[I have been hearing a lot about you. I don't like it.]
Vyan didn't utter a word and continued having his dinner.
Ramesh ( Vyan's father ) -" Kya khabar sunni, mere bete ki?"
[What's the news about my son?]
Sakshi-" Kya hi hoga that orphan girl. What's her name.. haa.. Avni.. rumors are spreading that she is dating with Vyan. I don't want a low standard girl like her to be Vyan's wife."
Vyan was tolerating, fisting his plam.
Ramesh-" Oii, aise baatein yaha mat kar, nahi sunna. Have your dinner properly."
Sakshi(angrily) - "Abhi nahi bolne se kal jab shaadi hogi tab bolun kya? How many times we have told him to go outside the village and continuous studies? Par nahi uss ladki ke liye tika hua hai yaha."
[If I don't speak now, what should I say when he get married?......But he is hanging on for that girl]
Vyan was not able to hear more against her. He pushed the plate and got up without uttering a word.
Ramesh-" See he didn't even finish his dinner. Agar vo usko lekar bhi aaya tab bhi I'll happily accept her."
[If he brought her I'll happily accept her]
Sakshi -" Let her come. Everything can be done with money. I'll separate them apart."
Ramesh- "Try to have control on your words. Baad mein bada pachtayegi tu. He is not a kid anymore.
[You'll regret it later...]
Sakshi-"Vohi toh he is not a kid. Their are many rich brats around. I'll find a bride for him. Aise anath ladki meri Bahu nahi bann sakti."
[Such an orphan girl cannot become my daughter-in-law]
Ramesh- Jab tu maregi na I'll make sure to burn you with the money.
Sakshi- Mind your language.
Ramesh- Then what about your language? Accha hua na abhi Vyan bhi bhookha hoga. Sit and have your dinner nicely. Jab tak Peet na faate.
[Well now Vyan must be hungry too.....Eat until your stomach burst]
Vyan enters his room and sits down on his bed. His mother's harsh words were echoing in his ears. He was not able to control his anger and started punching his pillow.
"Bohot hi chota dil hai aapka maa. You can't understand my feelings."
[You are very small hearted maa]
Suddenly Ramesh from behind
'Vyan'
He turned to his father and within a second looks down. He sits near Vyan.
"Your maa is like this, you know na..."
Vyan- Lekin papa, Ma ki itni choti soch.Why she making so much of difference between rich and poor.
[But papa, Maa is such a small minded person]
Ramesh - "Maike mein bohot hi buri halat mein rehti thi but after marrying to me, she have forgotten all of that and thinks no one can be HER. Uske dead body ke upar paisa rakh kar jala dena.
[She lived in very bad conditions in her maternal home......
Put money on her dead body and burn it.]
Both of them laughed
Harish - Accha toh are you guys dating?
Vyan ( frowned) - No pa, she rejected me.
Harish- Mere bete mein kya kami hai?
[What's wrong with my son?]
Vyan- Shyad maa se ke vajah se she is scared. Lekin papa vo iss Ghar mein aane se kuch problem hoga?
[Maybe because of mother she rejected this. But papa, is there any problem with her coming to this house?]
Harish- Kya problem hoga? She has all the qualities to become my bahu.Shakal aur paise se bss Ghar nhi chalaya jaata. I'll happily accept her. Don't worry about your mother ek thapad marne se line pe aa jayegi.
Hearing his father's words, all his sorrows melted away.
Ramesh got up.
"Zyada mat socho soja.'
[Don't think too much. Sleep]
"Good night paa."
"Good night, May she comes in your dreams."
