OMKAR
✨

I know Mangalore is a pretty much humid place!!! But right now the heat in the living room of my house was such that even a tub full of ice cannot cool it!!!

My grandmother fuming while still sitting on the sofa chair, my parents sitting with their hands on their head, Sanskriti and Shivansh biting their nails, Rudra and Pattu still trying to digest whatever they had got to know and Mukta glaring at Fari with a deep emotion enough to kill Fari right now.

Damn that girl!

'I am sorry everyone...I was worried for Mukta. I thought she escaped the marriage...I was shocked when I got to know Mukta is still living with Omkar' Fari tried convincing

While my mother spoke up...
'Its ok dear...not your fault...look at us, we didn't even know that our son got married!!!' while my father huffed.

'You hid such a big thing from us Omkar? Like you got married to a girl 3 months ago...like you really lived with this girl under the same roof and didn't bother telling us that you both are married???

What was it Omkar? You thought we wouldn't accept a intercaste marriage? You know we were ok with Panchami for your happiness...you think we wouldn't have accepted Mukta??? You disappointed us Omkar...' saying my grandmother added while I could feel Mukta's eyes on me.

I know the Panchami chapter would definitely be something which we will discuss soon...

'Omkar last time your choice was wrong but this time you are blessed... that's why I was against you last time but this time I would have happily stood by your side...Mukta is a gem' my father spoke up caressing Mukta's head and we both were shocked.

I wanted to explain the consequences but no one was giving me an opportunity.

'But Fari how did you reach Nayak Nivas?' Rudra queried while...even I was curious this girl had created a huge mess right now!!!

'Once my granny was ok I started reaching Mukta but her number was never reachable'

Shit!!! Why didn't I think once before changing her number.
There were security concerns after the Kaya-Harry incident!!! Stop blaming yourself O.K!!! My mind repeated.

'I went back to village and got to know Mukta is married and is now called as Jalebi Omkar Nayak!!! And she lives in Mangalore'

I cringed at that name while Mukta grinded her teeth shooting me a glare...

'Mukku...I really didn't know why did you choose Jalebi name after marriage...you had any issues with Mukku as well!!!' Fari chipped in...while Pattu added...

'Ofcourse I mean... Jalebi is still ok... what is a Mukku...right Dad...no regular doraemon fan likes that name?' she asked my father and he an ardent 'Pattu fan' jumped in saying...

'Ofcourse! I don't like Gian anyways...I would be ok even if it was Doremi...it's cute!!!'

I looked at my father!!! Who is Doremi???

'Obvio...Mukku is Gian's dog's name...look at her she's so pretty...I'll call her Shizuka Vanni...it's so perfect for her...' while my mother yet another brand new doraemon fan added...

'Woow so what my Omkar can never be Nobita except for the fact that he's also a lazy ass!!! I mean who washes jeans once in a month!!! Ewwww'

I saw Mukta making a face and I was annoyed now...

'What is your problem Amma...I like wearing jeans which fit me well...once I wash it, it shrinks and I loose the comfort and anyways... everyone knows I wear it only when I'm out!!!' to which my mother rolled her eyes saying...

'Thank god for that...if not I can't even imagine the condition of that jeans'

While Shivansh added...
'Arey Amma chill...I'm sure Vanni will set him up right in future, anyways how much will she have to wash...just one jeans a month and a ganji tshirt... because where does bro wear clothes at home?'

What the heck ??

Don't tell me!!!

This is so funny???

I heard Pattu, Fari and Sanskriti discussing my nudity while I saw Mukta gulp nervously!!!

'In my room girls!!! I wear or don't wear clothes doesn't matter!!! And for god's sake can we switch to the real topic if you folks are done discussing Doraemon and my jeans???' I yelled and this time my grandmother spoke up...

'There is nothing left to speak...we like Mukta...let's do the 'Ghar Bharawan (housewarming)' ritual for Mukta now, but don't announce anything yet...I don't want people making my family a butt of jokes...only Pattu's family knows about this and I know neither Pattu's nor Sanskriti's parents would utter a word neither will Pattu's grandparents...so day after tomorrow night we will announce a Navaratri Pooja and get you both engaged formally infront of everyone...one month from then on Diwali we'll have a formal wedding'

While I tried to speak up... 'But Bapama'

But she interrupted quickly saying...
'Look young man...you have already given me a headache...I was annoyed and pissed when I heard about this mess and I took the first flight from Goa to Mangalore because no one has had a runaway wedding in our family...if you liked Mukta you could have told us'

'But Bapama we both didn't get married because we loved each other...we were forced'

To which my mother added saying 'Yeah yeah and now tell us that the whole village was lying about your affair...we have spoken to Mukta's neighbours and they told us how smartly you both had hidden your love affairs...this is so unfair to us Omkar...I mean what if Mukta got pregnant... how would you have avoided that?' while my eyes popped out analysing what a wrong track all this is going right now...

Mukta almost choked on her saliva and Pattu was making her drink water

'Arey aunty even I didn't know...this girl was so smartly trying to tell me everything about her father's property and the legal fight and how that old man tried to marry Mukta but everytime she told me that she was trying to escape the old hag not once she told me about her and Omkar's secret marriage'

'But don't worry Fari...no secrets are long hidden...no wonder Anna had a killer chemistry with Jalebi Shizuka Vanni' Pattu said and Mukta choked on water this time and Pattu tapped on her head so she feels better.

'But Amma' I tried to explain while my grandmother stood up saying...

'No more arguments Omkar!!! You have done enough of what you like...let's fulfill the rituals...both of you get out of the house' I was shocked while Mukta's mouth was wide open

'Areee for the Ghar Baravan ritual...don't think there is going to be Dhom Tananana going to happen here like tv serials...Although this is no less than a tv serial' Pattu added...

'Once listen to me Pattu' I tried but Pattu held my hand and Mukta's hand and made us stand at the door step...

Mukta was still in a state of shock and I was trying my level best to speak up but not one person looked interested in listening to me. My mother kept a coconut each on the corner of the door step and asked Mukta to kick the coconut.

Post which my mother warded off the evil eye making us stand together and doing our Aarti ritual with a red liquid made from Sindhoor (Vermilion).

Post which she applied Vermilion on her and my forehead and next minute Pattu sat on the door step not letting us in while all the family members started laughing and I was confused...

'What is this Pattu get up' Rudra said while Pattu spoke up...

'No ways Omkar Anna calls me his sister and I know you guys don't even have a remote cousin who's a female...I am Anna's official sister...all set to loot him...
This is the 'Baglari Basche' ritual.
(Grooms sister sits at the door step blocking groom and bride from entering their home without having a healthy discussion about the couple's future and some heavy expensive gifts!!!)

Pattu smirked looking at me asking...
'So Anna what is the deal?' she asked and I saw Mukta was still worried...I just wanted to get over with all this and said...

'Anything you say!!!' and Pattu smirked saying...

'I want a year long supply of candies, stock supply of Tiramisu ice cream, complete control of watching doraemon anytime I like, a new dress for Rabby and of course I will make dinner for next one week' and at the last line entire family jumped at once and even I swallowed a lump while my eyes almost popped out...

One week is too much

Iam going on a fast

I will eat fruits

She can't cook shit

While my father Pattu's blind fan jumped in saying 'My daughter gets all she wants!!! Right Omkar?' my father asked me in a menacing tone and as if I had a choice here...I nodded and Pattu jumped happily while my mother asked and 'what is the deal?'

Damnnnn!!! No this is what I wanted to escape...

'Ohhhh yes!!! So Anna how about 5 nephews and 5 neice one baby every year...you both can do it like a ten year plan...5 year plan each...nice na???' she asked and Mukta almost gasped and looked at me...

I had to argue...that was the ritual...

'Just 2...that too only girls!!!' I said and this time Mukta's eyes popped out and she gave me a shocked expression.

I looked at her and shrugged.

'And what if it's a boy both times Anna?' Pattu asked and I casually said
..
'There is a moral story...try and try until you succeed!!!' and this time Rudra whistle, Shivansh hooted and everyone clapped...

Mukta didn't lift her head once and I couldn't face her. This was embarassing but then there was no choice!!!

And anyways I always wanted to have daughters!!!

What the fuck Omkar!!!

Remember this wedding was a compromise???

Damn this is all a mess!!!
