“What??? Are
you serious?? I do not believe, this kind of thinking still exist in today’s
world” told Ravi
“Yup…I know
but this is a fact. My Marriage is fixed for next month and I don’t know much
about the girl. I have not even seen photograph of her maybe I will get that
after going to my village. I do not know her name even as of now. All I know is
that she lives with her sister in Banaras at her Uncle’s place as her parents
died in a road crash. Marriage is fixed by my Grand Father and no one can tell
anything to him. In our caste Boy & girl are not allowed to meet even. I
being the boy at least can see the photograph but she might have not seen mine for sure. ” Told Shiva
“Crap…so you
can’t do anything now.” Asked Ravi
“Nope ….I
have 20 days of my bachelor life left and I do not want to waste them…therefore
I called you..let’s plan to my bachelor’s night as I have to leave for my
village after that.” Told Shiva
“Okeysss …I
can give you an idea…let’s plan your bachelor’s night at Banaras…you just
do not inform your family members…you
know her’s Uncle name na ….we will go to
Benaras for a week and celebrate your bachelor’s party and will try to find
about your future wife also…what’ say?” asked Ravi
“Hmmm…I know
her Uncle’s name and a bit about the location….I think we can give it a try ...but
we have to be ultra-careful as my relatives are there in Banaras who have given
the reference of that girl’s family…… I will not inform anyone in my family…you
inform Sahil & Sujit..let’s go to Banaras.” Told Shiva
Four of them
arrived at Banaras and started finding about Shiva’s future wife. Surprisingly
they were not able to trace out much about her.
“See friends
I thank all of you to help me in this search…let’s end this now and celebrate
tonight.” Told Shiva
“You are
right Shiva. I have asked our hotel manager. He had given me the address of a
joint somewhere in Saket Nagar where we can enjoy properly as it’s a private restro
-lounge. Let’s celebrate tonight.” told Ravi
Four of them
reached the place suggested by the hotel manager. The crowd there was quite
young and most of them were from BHU and some other private colleges.
“Damn…I can’t
believe such crowd at this place….look at those girls they really define the “HOT”
word here.” Told Ravi
They started
celebrating the evening. Suddenly Sahil came with a hooka.
“Man….taste
it…its real….you will love it.” Told Sahil and given it to Ravi
“Wowww..its
awesome dude…its real weed…loved it man.” Told Ravi taking a shot from the
hookah
After
sometime they were under the influence of mix of alcohol and hookah shots.
Suddenly a
girl came and told “Can I have one shot please.”
“Sure have
it.” Told Ravi and given the Hookah to her
She took one
shot and in first shot anyone can understand that it is her first shot ever,
and also she might have drunk first time also.
“Take it
slowly. What’s your name and where are you from?” asked Shiva
“What will
you do by knowing my name? Anyways my surname is going to change soon so no point
in telling anyone my name. “She told and took one more shot of Hookaah
“Hey Girl,
what are you doing here? I was searching you for last 10 minutes. Let’s go
back, its 10:00 pm now.” One more girl came shouting
“Hey, Mamta…come
sit…these guys are having hookah…I thought to give it a try too..I don’t
know if I get to taste it ever after.” Told girl and took one more shot of
Hookaah
“Hi
everyone. I am extremely sorry if she had disturbed you. We are here to have
her bachelor’s party. We will move now.” Told Mamta
“It’s OK
with us. By the way Congratulations and all the best.” Told Shiva
“Yesss…”All
The Best” this is the wish I require right now…you know what..I will get
married in 20 day’s time and I do not know whom I am going to get married…forget
it I even do not know how he looks…therefore your wish is a must for me.” Told that
girl and puked suddenly and loosed consciousness a bit.
Shiva helped
Mamta to take that girl to the washroom. After sometime Mamta and that girl
came out.
“Thanks a
lot. I am extremely sorry we spoiled your party. Actually my friend is a nice
girl. She is the topper of our batch from BHU. Its first time she boozed so
could not controlled properly.” Told Mamta
“Nope I told
you it’s alright.“ told Shiva
Slowly that
girl regained some consciousness.
“ Hey Mamta,
let’s go back it is late now and thank you Mr. for your help actually I never
drank earlier. After one two peg I was not able to resist it.
I was tempted. Moreover thought of
marrying an unknown & unseen person added to that temptation. I want to forget
everything for some time and alcohol was helping me that’s it.” Told that girl
“Hey its OK.
I totally understand what you must be feeling.” Told Shiva
“Really??
Okeysss…good…please wish me “All The Best” once again…I really require it.” Told
that girl…alcohol is still playing its role
“I think we
should go back to hostel else she will continue bothering everyone….in fact she
has already asked many people to wish her “All The Best” in last 2 hours.” Told
Mamta
“Ok..its
nice meeting you both…take care and “All The Best”. Told Shiva
“Hey Shiva,
I think she is you future wife. You both have the same issue…what’ say.” Told Ravi
“I think its
time to wind up as Hookaah is taking control of our mind….dude they live in
Hostel of BHU. They are students. Moreover she will not dare to do all this at
place where she spent 27 years. This tradition is quite common in few castes including
mine in this part of the country so forget it. Also my grandfather has selected
her so he must have got all the reference check done. Going by his record of recruiting
wives for his sons I cannot get this lucky to have a wife who can dare to drink and have night out with
friend so let’s forget it your guess is totally wrong.” Told Shiva and all of
them got back to their Hotel
After
Banaras Trip Shiva straight moved to his village and he asked his mother for
the photograph after lunch.
Shiva got
shock of his lifetime after seeing the photograph. His friend Ravi’s guess was
100% correct. Shiva was speechless.
