Aryan came back from his office exhausted late right. As he stepped in, he got shocked to hear voices coming from his elder brother’s room who had got married only six months before. But there had been frequent quarrels and arguments between him and his wife. Aryan didn’t stop there but went to his parents. Mom, “what has happened now? You were quite sure about the match you have chosen from your distant relative? She is a prudent, highly qualified girl with modern out look? What’s now? Everything gone rubbish. Blurting out every thing and without bothering about this parents’ reply, he retired to his room. He changed his clothes, took his dinner and went to his bed. But like other days, he was not feeling sleepy. “Then why people are so crazy about arrange marriage? What’s the point in it? Why are parents so hell bent on these marriages?” He kept on blabbing and lost in slumber unintentionally. He worked in a Multi National Company and his job was too exhausting. He hardly had time for himself. Though he had a few friends in his office including female friends but he had never been serious with anyone. He was an M.Tech and still kept studying. He was a habitual reader and had a thorough knowledge about national and worldwide affairs. He was very smart and handsome guy and was always a center of attraction among girls wherever he went. However, he was losing interest in the mundane affairs. His domestic environment was spoiling his own life. Many offers had started pouring in for him for marriage soon after his brothers marriage and there was immense pressure on him from all near and dear ones but he was not prepared for that mentally as he had been feeling the tantrums of wedding bells in his home for a few months.
His parents also didn’t have courage to persuade him either.
One day when Aryan was sitting on his P.C. and was busy in his work, he took a few minutes out. He cheeked his e-mail as usual. He found an e-mail. It didn’t related to his job. Instead it was from a twenty four year girl, Jennifer. She was a school teacher in Singapore. She was looking for a friend with whom she could share her intrinsic and extrinsic feelings. Aryan could not resist his temptation to chat with her, being unknown. His heart started beating fast. He forgot his work and wrote something about himself and sent to Jennifer. For the first time in his life he had strange feelings, his breathing rate increased abnormally. He waited eagerly for the reply and even couldn’t work whole heartedly in his office. He wanted to check his mail but did not get a chance. He wanted to get off quickly that day and waited for the last bell to go. But it was not destined so as an urgent meeting was fixed after office time and being at senior level he could not skip it. The meeting lasted for about two hours and he was not there all through the meeting but was anxiously waiting for his release. His colleague, Somya, who had always something for him, taunted amusingly at him as he had been constantly watching the time all the way through. As the meeting was over, he hurriedly got up from his seat rushed out of the sanctum and almost faltered in the way. Somya burst into laughter and others also followed her sensing something likewise. But Aryan didn’t stop to look back, instead he drove his car fast and jumped two red signals on the way.
