My mom started again, and this time her tone went ounces heavier. Serious shit. Generally dad and I try to stay away from her at such times.

"Get real Hira Roy. You really think, after the stunt you have pulled, after six months Rohit is going to marry you?"

WHATTTTTTT?

I blinked multiple times. Rohit has cancelled our marriage! He did it. Really! I felt my stomach going all of a sudden. Gosh! Why? How can he? No, I mean I never expected this. Moreover, who is he to cancel our marriage? He is the one who has annoyed me, insulted me. It's me, who should cancel the marriage. NOT HIM. Ugh.

"Go, freshen up. I shall call you at the dinner time."

With that I left for my room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My bed, I missed you so much. My pillow, my baby, oh god I never knew I loved you so much. Yeah, that is true. No matter how luxuriously you have spent your holidays, how exciting it has been, but nothing is more peaceful than to sleep in your own bed. But am I not finding any peace now? Is it because that meathead cancelled our wedding? Oh come on, I too wanted the same. He made my work easy. But then why is it pinching me so much? Umm, may be... No, I know why. My big fat ego! It's pinching me because he cancelled the marriage before I did. Whatever... It's good that it is over. Am GLAD.

Freshening up, I collapsed on my bed and didn't know when I crashed.

"Babu.." I woke up with papa's words. "Wake up. Dinner is ready." "Baba I am hungry. Tell ma to keep the food in the refrigerator. I shall have it once I feel like." "No. You are back after so long. We all want to have dinner with you. Come on I can't wait to listen to the stories of your trip. Did you meet some hunk?" he winked and gave a naughty smile with his last words. "Baba! You are my father. You really forget that?" I mean seriously, which father asks such question to his daughter, that too a few months before getting married. "What? Mayukh Roy is a different daddy. He is his daughter's best friend." Dad stated as a matter of fact. Umm, kinda true. He is my best friend. "You know what? you owe me." He started again. I kept looking at him, yet snuggling in my sheet. "I saved you from your mother's tornado. So I want something." My jaw dropped. Dad is making a deal with me. "By the way, what did you bring me from Kalimpong?" and we went on. Suddenly mom broke in.

"Babaah.. baah.. ekhane khete daklam. Ekhane baap e mey te galpo jomiyeche" She snarled. (WOW. I CALLED YOU GUYS FOR DINNER. AND HERE THE DADDY-DAUGHTER IS CHATTING). "Don't say my baby anything." My father stood covering me. "Look Mayu. After the stunt she has pulled, I have no intentions to talk to her even. But now, she must come down. Everyone is waiting." She glared pressing her lips, and my father dropped his look. What was that? What exactly was that?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gosh! My mouth watered, all my favourite dishes! But mum is supposed to be angry. Then why? I looked at my mom with the question. And she shrugged off. Well, does this mean she is not angry anymore? But just now in my room she said she is. Ugh confusing!

Generally we have some real good time at the dining table, but today mom and Jemma (TAI JI) seemed to be so much hurry. In fact Jemma literally pulled me off my chair once I was done, and Churni actually escorted me to my room. "Sleep well." She winked. Huh? What's going on?

Anyways, I suddenly remembered I have not inserted my SIM yet.

No, in all these days that meathead didn't call me even once. Well, I am not dying to talk to him. But he bloody cancelled our marriage without even informing me. On the other hand he was sending me articles on relationships. Bloody jerk! Buzz off. Why the hell am I even thinking of him? With that I stretched and slept off again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Puchu di... what's going on?" I said half yawning. Man, it's just quarter to five in the morning, and Puchu di is literally dragging me to the living room. Come on, I am just back from a journey, I need rest. Please.. But no one listened to my pleas.. what surprised me more is, ma, jemma, Churni Pishi, even Jui was already present. What is Pishi and Jui doing here so early? I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Suddenly I was made to sit on a mat on the floor. And was handed a plate full of curd, sweets and puffed rice. What the fuck! Hey wait, what are these people up to? My jaw dropped at the apprehension. No, they cant be serious. All these is a joke. I looked at them, I wish I could read their minds. When suddenly Puchu di spoke.

"Boka, kal tor 'aiburo bhaat' chhilo, ekhon 'dodhi mongol'.. aaj sondheye to tor biye!" and with that my heart skipped numerous beats!

(STUPID, YESTER NIGHT WAS YOUR 'AIBURO BHAAT' (it is a ritual followed by Bengalis, where the bride/groom both are fed in their respective houses, a night before marriage, which symbolises having last meal as a bachelor/spinster). AND NOW ITS YOUR 'DODHI MONGOL'(again another ritual, which occurs at the breaking dawn where the bride/groom are fed curd, sweets, puffed rice). AND AT EVENING YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED).

"With whom?" my food chocked, I could hardly speak.

"Rohit of course. Who else?"
