'no wonder how will they.. how much do u earn?' 'I work in an offshore company.' 'How much do you earn?' Dad repeated.. 'sir.. 25k..' zia's Dad looked at her. 'Offshore is a sea platform job right..' jai nodded. 'Then how are you here at this time?' Dad knew exactly how to kick the maharashtrian boy's ass. ' The whether at the sea is not good, so the project is on hold.' 'That means you're salary too will be on hold.. isnt it?' Jai had started sweating by now.. 'Where do you think you will keep zia after marraige? Or do u plan to live on her salary?' 'Dad.. ' Zia interrupted.. 'What? Look u both.. at your age,i am not saying that i expect you to be settled with a 3bhk flat at lokhandwala and 2 cars at your doorstep. Zia. You're mom and me started with a rented flat. But i had a stable job. I was earning good and knew i could keep jenn happy always. I can't see any such possibility this boy's case.. ' jai was keeping quite for all this while.. But now he had one solid point.
