Chapter – 12
This incident provided enough materials to Avinash who know begun to concentrate prodding him on his bachelor status. Nisar was already getting bothered over the deterrence he was having to face,hence new comment regarding his marriage would sometimes irritate him but sometimes he would accept thinking it reality. Nisar had no point to comment on him or pull him since Avinash just begun his career so discuusing on his personal life seemed irrational.
During one night Avinash and Nisar were sitting for dinner.
"Frankly speaking , I have no intention to hurt you.But you should have married by now.' Avinash said opening his tiffin.
' Where is matter of hurt ? Secondly you have become my friend so you have right to ask. But can I ask one thing ? Nisar replied pouring water in glasses.
' Yes, sure,' Avinash replied making a morsel
'Suddenly you have changed your concern from my unemployed status to my marriage.' Nisar said smiling'
'Because when I first saw you I thought you married and recent incident which occurred with your colleague coerced me raise the issue.?
' Listen me carefully, a girl who looks beautiful and reaches on threshold of adulthood are deemed to be marriageable and supposed to be eligible in other eyes.'
, Why did you specify the beautiful.' Avinash frowned his face
' Because beauty attracts others attention.,' Are you not attracted to beauty.' Nisar asked
' What about others who are not beautiful.'
' They are of course marriageble but had to face in coming in eligible criteria.'
,' Why are you stretching the topic? Tell about yourself.,' Avinash said
I am coming to point. Similarly it happens with boys if one has no financial security he is not considered BEAUTIFUl thus they are not enumerated in eligible criteria. As far as I am concerned even after jostling, struggling so much and even now I could not become ELIGIBLE BACHELOR since that BEAUTY kept on playing hide and seek game with me.'
''If you perceive that financial security is beauty of boy then in our religion girl is considered LAXMI a tantamount to BEAUTY as per your doctrine. Girl ie Laxmi brings prosparity and happiness, BEAUTY which a boy can adore even after marriage. 'Avinash retorted showing his knowledge about the matter.
In our religion also same concept emerges when a boy remains bachelor, but clever defends himself by referring the sayings of Prophet Mohammed ( peace be upon him )who once told his one follower to marry if he finds pros parity and happiness. He also directed to his followers to marry his daughter/son when they reach on adulthood if they commit sin of type which is unacceptable in our society, their guradians will be responsible for their omission. But nowadays parents outsmart such sayings of prophet when they think marriage of their daughters.' Nisar said washing his hand on basin .
Have your not been ever forced to marry when you would visit at your home" Avinash prodded
"Yes, Ammi once told me when i had visited 9 years back when Abba was alive. That day I was sitting alone with her when she asked me caressing my head.
“Ab Tumhari shaadi ki umar ho gaee hai . if you like any of the girls tell me i shall talk to her parents'
' I shall marry in relatives.' I replied
' OK Who is that girl' She digged out
" I shall tell about her but first let me stand on my foot" I replied
" Beta , Naukri wagera to hoti rahegi" See how your friends are getting married and you are still waiting for right time" She tried to convince me.
"why don’t you mention those who are older than me and still are unmarried" I retorted
“Have you seen Simran. She looks good ? Ammi said
' Kaun, Wo dilwale dulhaniya le jayenge wali '
"Be serious, I am talking about Daughter of Nemat ,' She said earnestly.
" Yes, she is good looking,' but I should also look good '
' What is wrong in you, ' Ammi asked
'I am talking about beauty 'a permanent secured job'
'Everything will become fine once you get married. See Farhan, Nishant , Ali How they got settled down after marriage. Inshalla you will also settle" Ammi said confidently.
'Did you get the view of her parents and his other guardians ,foremost thing is that I am not yet settled
Nisar,s mother was in fact sincere about his marriage but it was he who every time avoided. How would he tell her that even after spending years outside he couldn’t become eligible bachelor. who can give his daughter happily to boy who is financial insecure Nisar was practical he knew about the situation emerged after marriage where parents take the responsibility and later they have to face the nonsense sarcasm of their daughter in laws.
Fact was that in order to make his mother happy he kept on coinciding on her every wishes But his priority was to get a secure job. Plan of marriage was out of his imagination those days. Nisar doesn't know whether she talked to parents of that girl or not. But after about one year, Nisar's mother informed when he called her that Simran was getting married. Nisar didn't mind since she was his mother's choice. Nisar 's choice was open for which he had been still struggling and perhaps she has also now turned her face away from him.
