Why get married at twenty-one ? Why?
Why , when my education is incomplete?
Why?
"Because it is the right thing to do" He tells me , "It is the only thing to do"
"We'll have to tell the folks " He insists "They'll want to know"
Its easy for him.Karan singh , whose parents who live in chandigarh are open minded , forward , modern people.
And then there's the thing about him not being pregnant.
Yet , he is petrified.Instead of calling , he sends them a lengthy E-mail which goes on beating around the bush.The next day they call him , I bet anxiously.I can imagine them gasping at the email that their son has knocked up some girl.
"They want to talk to you" he says finally " Then , "Come on !"
I take the phone .Silence.Electric hum greets me.
I manage to whisper a strangled "Hello?"
"Well ! I guess This is finally the end of college for you !" A serious voice.
But the voice turns supportive.The future-mother-in law says that whats done is done and she'll be there to help us in any way she can.
This was easy .The hard part is yet to come.
