Avu - Shadi!?!

Avneet stared dumbstruck at her parents who did nothing but look back sternly at her with a no-nonsense look on their face.

Mrs Sharma - Haan Avu shadi. Hume toh yeh samajh mein nahi aa raha ki tum itni hairan kyun ho rahi ho?

Avu - But aise achanak? I don't get it.

Mr Sharma - Isme na samajhne wali koi bhi baat nahi hai Avu. Humne tumhare liye ladka pasand kar liya hai. Maine aur tumhari mom ne unke saath final baat bhi pakki kar li hai. Aur woh log aa rahe hai agle hafte tumhare roke ke liye.

Akash - Mom, Dad, have you gone crazy? Aap aise kaise Di ki shadi kisi se bhi fix karwa sakte ho?

Akash interrupted on behalf of his sister. Mr Sharma gave his son a glare.

Mrs Sharma - First of all, learn how to speak to you elders Akash. This is not how you should talk to your parents. Aur as both of your parents we do have the right to take decisions that will benefit you.

Akash - Parents? Aaj se pehle toh yeh baat kabhi yaad nahi aayi aap dono ko. Ab jab business bachane ke liye beti ki zarurat padh rahi hai tab rights ki baat karne aagaye. Isme benefit Di ka hai ya aap dono ka?

Akash scoffed, his voice laced with bitterness.

Mr Sharma - AKASH!!!

Avu - Dad please gussa mat kijiye. Akash tu chod, main baat kar rahi hoon na.

Avneet gave her brother a desperate look before turning back to her parents.

Avu - Dad apko toh pata hai ki yeh kuch bhi bolta hai. I think Akash sirf iss baat se bothered hai ki sab kuch  thora all of a sudden nahi lag raha?

Mrs Sharma - Kuch bhi all of a sudden nahi hai Avu. Aur aisa toh nahi hai ki tum kabhi shadi hi nahi karogi. Ab Aaj nahi toh kal shadi toh tumhe karna hi hai, ab jo kal hone wala tha woh aaj ho raha hai. Aur Mr Maheshwari ek bahut kabil aur responsible person hain. Hume pura yakeen hai ki humare business ke saath saath woh tumhara bhi bohot acche se dhyan rakhenge. It's as simple as that.

Akash - Kuch bhi simple nahi hai Di, sauda kar rahe hai yeh dono, sauda. Apne business ke badle beti ka sauda.

Mrs Sharma - Bas bohot ho gaya Akash. Humne bohot sunli tum dono ki baate. Ab tum dono meri baat suno. Haan, sauda samajhna hai toh sauda hi sahi. Kar rahe hai hum sauda par kya tumhe yeh khabar hai ki sauda karne ki zarurat kyoun padi? Kaise pata hoga? Kabhi dhikhaya hai family business mein interest kisi ne bhi? Dono chal pade apne raaste. Ek fashion designer aur ek dancer. Kitni koshish ki humne ki at least tum dono mein se ek toh business take over karne ke kabil ban sake. Par nahi. Ab jab humara business, humare itne saal ki mehnat khatre mein hai tab koi toh decision lena padega.

Mr Sharma - Ab decision tum dono ke upar hai. Either apna yeh so-called 'dream job' chod ke business samhalo ya fir yeh rishta hone do. Hum dono se yeh business aur nahi samhalta. Koi toh aaye jo iski zimmedari utha sake. Aur yehi humara final ultimatum hai.

Saying that Mr and Mrs Sharma exited the room leaving the Sharma siblings by themselves.

Akash - Tu chinta mat kar Di, agar tujhe iss unwanted arranged marriage se nikalne ka yehi ek tarika hai toh main yeh bhi karne ke liye taiyar hoon.

Avu - Akash tu yeh kya keh raha hai. I cannot possibly ask you to do that. Dancing tera dream hai jaise Fashion Designing mera, aur hum dono ko hi yeh pata hai ki apne passion ke bagair hum zinda nahi reh sakte. I will not let you sacrifice your dream just for my sake.

Akash - Par Di, tumne suna na Dad ne kya kaha, agar hum dono mein se koi...

Avu - Pata hai.

Akash - Then what are you saying...?

Avu - Agar solution yehi hai toh haan. Main yeh shadi karungi.
