A plan was being made to kill love for the sake of love.
Zia locked her room and skype called trupti. She enacted everything to her that happened. Trupti never liked zia to be with jai from the start. She always taunted her for her bad choice. 'One year? I don't think he will be able to do anything in such a short time span zia.' 'Oh comeon trups. Don't be such a pessimist. Am sure he will win their hearts.' ' Be practical zia. Max to max he may switch a job. May grab a decent one, but it's very difficult for an offshore engineer to switch on core.' 'Ohhhh bass bass yaar. I understood your philosophy. Chal am logging off have office tomorrow. Bye..' 'Hey hey. What? Okay okay fine. Keep waiting and wasting your one more year. Mujhe kya.. but there mohit sir is asking me about you every other day. He's waiting for you zia.. though he has girls fluttering around him like butterflies..think about him.. he's...' 'yaar trupti.. u know i dont like him. Don't irritate me by singing this mohit lullaby... chal m too tired .. goodnight bye ... ' They both logged off for the day. Persuading zia for anybody else than jai was a mission impossible..
There Jai couldn't sleep for the whole night. He knew it very well there was nothing he could do in that one year. His head went blank. He couldn't think of any solution. He took his mobile and dialled zia.. in case she answers. But obviously it was switched off. He laid on his bed with eyes open. His mom sensed his restlessness. 'Kaay zhala jai? Bara nahi vatat ahe ka?' (What happened jai? Aren't you feeling well?) Jai got up and sat on his bed. Taking his mom's hand in his he said 'Mom. I met zia's parents today.... for marraige' His mom raised her eyebrows in surprise.. 'Din't realize you've grown up so much Jai.. so now you will take all decisions of your life your own? Is it?' 'Nahi Mummy. I know pappa and you will not like me meeting them. So dint tell u. And meeting them was very important because otherwise i would've lost zia forever..' 'So her parent's approval alone is important for you. What about us? We are already against that girl marrying in our home. Yet you have proceeded to meet her parents? Such a big stwp without asking us jai' She said removing her hand from his grip. 'No mom. I was about to talk to you on this tomorrow morning. Trust me. Just that it was too late for today so dint tell u.. Mom.. i cannot think of any other girl other than zia. Please mom. Please say yes. I have never forced you to get anything till now. Always been obedient to you. But mom. Zia is... i love her mom..and... ' 'Jai. If you marry her, forget that we have any relation. Understand.. noone has had even a love marraige in our community and how did you even think about marrying a Christian girl?' Jai's mom left the room and warned him from talking to her again on this topic.
