NEXT DAY;
Kousalya (Mother):
Kousalya, mother Rani, has prepared some good dishes.
Kousalya deep thinking was that, if “Anurag becomes their son-in-law, it will be good.
Both are handsome and good looking.
Both are looking like competing each other, as it looks like that”.
Kousalya, again thought that, we cannot search for more than Anurag, who is handsome, well educated, good job, good ideologist thinking Kousalya thought that Rani is to be asked about Anurag.
The same thing was discussed with Nischal Rao (Husband of Kousalya).
Nischal Rao:
Good idea Kousalya.
But, we don’t know what their inner feelings are.
Apart from that they are not kids.
They are doing big jobs and are in good position.
Kousalya, you ask first about Rani’s opinion on Anurag, Advised Nischal Rao to Kausalya.
Kousalya:
OK dear husband.
I will ask Rani.
Then Kousalya took Rani to one room.
Rani:
What Mummy.
You’ve something in mind Please spell out.
There is something that you’re hiding.
Please tell mummy.
Kousalya:
Rani, I will ask one thing to you.
What your inner feeling, you express to me. Kousalya asked Rani.
By sitting side of daughter, Kousalya expressed her opinion.
Rani:
Please tell me mummy.
I will tell surely. Rani was trying to gather the inner thoughts of mother Kousalya.
Kousalya:
Rani, it is the time for you to get married.
We, as parents, have great responsibility to perform your marriage well.
All these days, you’ve not given any thought in the name of education and job.
Now, you’re settled.
If you get married, we will have a sigh of relief.
Your life will be settled.
We will have satisfaction and Peace of Mind Myself and your father liked Anurag.
Anyway, you know very well for few years.
If both of you become one, it will be nice.
Kousalya told Rani:
This is my personal opinion.
Please Rani, tell your liking and tell your opinion on Anurag,
Rani to Mother
Mummy, your both happiness is my happiness.
But, what Anurag has in mind, I don’t know.
We have to approach their parents.
We have to find out their parents opinion.
How can I now tell you about this?
So, you please ask Anurag first since he is here.
