Excerpt
As father and son led Ritesh to the sofa, she fled into the safety of the kitchen and started heating the milk in a pan. Her mind was racing furiously. That girl was impossible. Just what did she think of herself? Imagine quarreling with her fiancée just two days before the wedding! It was too much.
She pitied Ritesh. She would have to din some sense into her adamant daughter’s head, that night. It was ‘do or die’ for her!
“Yogi dear, come out and have coffee with all of us. After all, we have just 2 days left with you in this house. Afterwards you’ll have coffee with your new family members!” Yogita’s Mom wisely avoided mentioning the word ‘in-laws’ to avoid infuriating her belligerent daughter, even further.
Knowing that her mother would continue to pester her to come out, Yogita yelled from inside, “You go ahead. I’m not coming out now. I’m trying to sleep. Please don’t disturb me.”
Curbing her rising anger and frustration, her Mom put on a brave face and served steaming coffee to everyone in the living-room. She then apologized on behalf of Yogita.
“Ritesh, Yogi is having one of her migraines again. She is trying to catch up on some sleep. The past few days have been hectic, as you know!”
“Yes Aunty, I can understand,” said Ritesh, though he couldn’t avoid grimacing slightly. Then he broached the unpleasant subject.
