"Sanyu, please open the door," Anjali Aggarwal stood worriedly at the room's door.

Sanyukta has locked up herself for an hour now.

"What's happening here!" Kishor shouted, getting annoyed.

"Nothing to worry," Anjali spoke meekly.

"Sanyukta get out now or else I will bring open the door" Kishor warned angrily.

The door still didn't open, testing the limits of Kishor's temperament and patience.

"Ankit break open the door!" Kishor ordered.

Ankit was about the kick the door, his leg was in midair like a person playing hopscotch. Abruptly the door opened, making him lose his balance a bit.

"First learn how to hold your ground Ankit then try to break me or my door" Sanyukta spoke as she stepped out of the room.

"Sanyukta behave yourself, you have lost all your manners after going to that stupid college in Roorkee!" Ankit yelled.

"Sanyukta apologize to Ankit and get ready within 15 minutes Don't deny otherwise I will create a havoc in this house" Kishor Aggarwal thundered.

Sanyukta was about to reply when her mother pleaded," Sanyukta, please do it for my sake".

Sanyukta became helpless and agreed because she didn't want her mother to suffer again.

Sanyukta sighed and went inside her room. She wore whatever came into her hand.

Sanyukta didn't even look into the mirror to see if she got ready properly. She just applied a moisturizer on her face, a pink lip gloss, a silver eyeshadow accompanied by earrings which Anjali insisted her to wear.

Sanyukta was lost in her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door. She got up with goosebumps on her body. Now she was again meeting a stranger.

She went to the kitchen, her mother handed her a tray of snacks and tea. She started walking towards the guest, her hands shivering a little in nervousness.

Although scared, she thought to spill the tea on the prospective groom.

She carefully placed the tray on the table and did the traditional namaste to the guests.

Then sat adjacent to Anjali in the corner chair.

Kishor had instructed Sanyukta to keep her bowed lower as a sign of shyness, which is an ornament for a well-behaved woman according to Kishor Aggarwal.

Sanyukta maintained her gaze lower, although she could feel the prospective groom's eye on her. May be rules are exclusively for girls while boys can Shamelessly check out girls even if it's a matrimonial meeting in front of the elders.

Sanyukta rolled her eyes internally at the stupid hypocrisy of society and audacity of this man to look her without a blink.

The parents of the approved Sanyukta now all eyes fell on the boy for his nod. He smiled, showing his teeth.

Kishor became happy, and he started making the future in-laws eat the sweets that he bought on special discount.

Nobody asked Sanyukta her opinion nor her approval, the proposal got accepted.

Sanyukta's heart beats increased, not knowing what to do next to stop this circus.

The boy then said," I want to talk to Sanyukta in person".

It is then Sanyukta looked up to see the boy who had shown some sense.

She saw a charming boy with good features and gelled up hair, he wore an expensive watch and shoes. Wearing a black shirt he looked handsome but nothing matched up with the  charms of Randhir, Sanyukta thought to herself.

The family agreed of both to talk personally. Sanyukta took him to the roof. Since Sanyukta was warned to not take the boy inside her room where all her madness for engineering could to exposed to the future groom.

"What are your hobbies Sanyukta?" the boy spoke, initiating the talk.

"I love innovation and creativity ..." Sanyukta spoke, but before she could complete the sentence, the boy interrupted.

"Great, Oh you love innovating dishes. I will get master chef level food to eat," the boy commented, making Sanyukta cough loudly as she couldn't gulp the tea through her throat.

She wanted to laugh at his face, but thought not to behave badly and controlled her urge to laugh.

"Look I know that you are studying, and your graduation is still incomplete but don't mind if are not interested in completing your degree. Since I am a well settled man," the boy spoke further.

"I really want to complete my education" Sanyukta spoke out with disbelief .

"Oh Kishor Uncle told us that you are not interested in studying further. But if you want to study, then I don't have any problem. But it's waste of time, I mean what  the heck will you do after completing useless degree of M. A. After all one doesn't need to complete a degree to have kids," the boy spoke and laughed at Sanyukta's face.

Sanyukta's anger got better of her, she erupted," Mister, I am pursuing mechanical engineering. Secondly, not all women dream to study for degree. Yes, degree is not a condition to have kids, but it does not mean one has to sacrifice the dreams and ambitions of life. If you get married and have kids. Will you leave your job or dreams? Of course not, then you shouldn't expect it from your future wife as well".

The boy looked Sanyukta in shock. He wasn't expecting this reply, which was nothing but a slap woven into words.

He replied," That's a really progressive thought. I understand it because I am a software engineer".

Sanyukta blurted," That's nice that you are educated enough. Now you will understand my vision better".

The boy frowned, didn't you see my Biodata? I hope you know my name," he added further jokingly.

Sanyukta spoke savagely," Yeah, I didn't see that, I was neither interested in your Biodata nor you. What is your name?"

The boy replied with a smirk," My name is Sameer Mittal, I like you and your attitude. Girls run behind me, but you are different from all, running away from my charm. Chasing you would be fun  Sanyukta Aggarwal".

Here is another entry of a character. What do think about him? Will he prove to be a hero or a Villain in Sanyukta's life.Randhir's reaction towards the proposal would be interesting to watch out.Many twists and turns are on their way to make readers sit on the edge.
