Those 5 minutes

'David. Comeon. Did you even ask zia who that boy is?' Zia's mom said to her dad. 'Oh. What difference will that make jenn. Zia, my piece of heart has slapped her dad's face.. She's slapped her dad's dignity. Even if she marries Xavier's, what if tomorrow they come to know about all this relationship thing? What if they kick her out of their house? The world will laugh at me. Is this what u taught your daughter, they'll ask. My dignity will be at stake. Everything earned will go for a toss jenn. This girl killed me jenn.. she killed me..'

There was silence between the two. And they wished it remained silent. Because none wanted to know the real.. none wanted to know when and how was their trust getting crushed. Noone wanted to know why their little girl playing on their lap is now talking about marrying some random guy .They remained silent for a long time.

'Call zia. We have raised her for 26 years, i am sure her decision will not be wrong..' zia's mom said handing a glass of water for zia's dad. He quietly gulped down few drops and nodded.

Zia heard a knock say the door. First time ever in her life did her mom knock at her door unlike walking in straight in her room asif she's suddenly become a stranger to her . 'Zia come to the living room..' Zia heart almost stopped beating. Her legs felt like some heavy iron log is tied to them. Somehow she dragged herself to the living area. Her parents were sitting on the couch.
