Mishra house
Avan's mother Satya's POV
Morning started as usual. Aanu's father went to farm and I'm preparing food to take it to farm so that we can have it together then I'll help him. Somebody knocked on the door. Who might it be? I went to open the door..
Oh Kamu, come in..
Kamla is my aunt's daughter, we've only 2 years of age gap that's why we get along so well. She's younger than me and we got married same year but Avan born after four years of our marriage while she gave birth to Bharat within a year. Bharat got married 5 years back and have two sons.
So tell me what brings you here? I asked her while handing her glass of water.
"Apne Avan ke liye rishta lai hoon"
(Brought a marriage proposal fòr our Avan)
Tell me more. I asked excitedly.
"The girl's mother is a friend of my neighbor. She told me the girl has little dusky skin but very beautiful. They have two daughters and she's the elder one. Her father works at government office while her mother is housewife. The girl is in 12th and.."
Hearing the last sentence, satya's face fell which didn't go unnoticed by Kamla.
"What happened?"
She's in 12th and Aanu will never agree for this. He wants to marry an educated independent girl.
"See after marriage she'll be Aanu's wife, he can ask her to continue education and even work. She'll be your family member, you can shape her the way you want."
I don't know how Aanu will react to this.
"No need to tell him the details of girl, anyways their family lives in the same village as Avan, you just get him ready to meet the girl. Talk to jijaji (brother in law) about this. Avan is a young man, I'm sure when he'll see her, he'll ignore other things. Also, take this, it's her photo"
As soon as I saw the photo, I instantly liked this girl. Something in me is telling me that my Aanu will say yes for her.
I quickly went to farm after Kamla went.
Suniye ji (listen dear) I said while opening tiffin box
"Kahiye ji" (tell me dear) he replied in the same manner while washing hands
Today Kamla brought a proposal for our Aanu through her neighbor. She said they are good people.
"What do you think about it?" He asked while dipping a morsel in dal (lentil)
The way she explained, I felt they are good people but..
"But?"
..but the only problem is the girl is 9 years younger than Aanu and in 12th class. You know how much Aanu hate when a girl gets married just after completing school. He wants an independent wife.
"Show me the photograph" he said
I gave him
"The girl seem mischievous yet her eyes reflect innocence. She's beautiful too. Don't tell Aanu about her education just let's take him to meet her because if he got to know about it, he'll surely reject her."
"Ok"
"Also, let's show their horoscope to our astrologer and consult him if everything is good"
"Ji"

Dharini's home
Third Person's POV
Dharini and Drishti went to their shared room after having dinner and slept, while sleep is far away from their parents' eyes. Why wouldn't it be? Nalini informed that the boy's family liked Dharini's photo and wants to meet day after tomorrow. She also gave boy's photograph and his information. The boy teach in the same school where rini and drishu study. He must be teaching primary classes. They thought.
They decided to talk to Dharini next day.
****
Next day Dharini and Drishti went to school as usual and her father is inquiring about Avan's family background from people of their village.
Avan also went to school and started teaching 11th class. The day went as usual and he came back to his house in evening. As soon as he step inside the telephone started ringing.
Avan's POV
Hello? I answered
"Hello Aanu?" The caller said
Ma, how come you know when I'll come to house?
"I just know it" she replied
But I could've been late too
"But you didn't" she said. Proud is evident in her voice.
"By the way son, me and your baba are coming tonight"
Why? Is everything ok ma? I asked hurridly
"Yes, I just want my son to have a companion like your baba has."
Now I know what she's implying to
Ma...
"Aanu please not this time, just meet this girl. I saw her photo and liked her a lot, even your baba did too. I have a feeling she's the one for you."
Ok..fine..I'll meet her. I said with a sigh.

Dharini's POV
Rightnow me and Drishti are sitting on floor, having dinner with papa when he dropped the bomb.
"Tomorrow a boy and his family is coming to see you rini"
"What?" Said drishti in shock.
I was also shocked but I kind of prepared for this after that golu incident.
"Who are they papa?" asked Drishti. She's not too excited because we are so close and my marriage means we'll be apart.
"As if you know everyone" mumma said
"Noo..but.." drishti tried to reason
"Leave this now..Rini, beta, just remember one thing, you are not a burden to us, and I'll not let you settle with anyone who's not capable to treat you the way I treat your mother, if not better." Papa assured me
Ok papa is all I said.
"Papa do you have jijaji's photo?" Drishti asked
"First of all, he did not become your jijaji and yes, his photo is over the desk in my room." Papa said
After having food, drishti ran towards mumma papa's room to get the photo, tagging me along. The photo is in an envelope but the sight sent us in the panic mode. The envelope is covered in fresh ink and the inkpot is which was full of ink is now empty. So, apparently, Drishti came here an hour ago to fill her ink pen, oblivious to the fact that her would be jijaji's photo is next to the inkpot. Carelessly she filled the ink in her pen and left the inkpot lid unclosed and papa might have come later and took some document resulting the bottle to fall and thus ink spread on the photo.
Thank God no other document is ruined, otherwise she would have heard from papa. I instantly told her to bring her old useless t shirt to wipe ink. She ran and brought her old t shirt which is now a mop and wiped the ink from the desk. Now it doesn't look like crime scene, we've removed the evidence. The only evidence we're left with is the envelope. We opened it and saw the face is fully covered in ink. We took it to our room and hide it in our cupboard. When mumma asked "dekha tumne photo?" (Did you see his photo)
All drishti could say was, "yes mumma we saw"
Wow how can she lie so confidently? I need to learn from her.

This was a filler chapter. But vote if you liked it.
