"Kuch nahi chahiye. Par aap apki beti ko gift ke tor par kuch bhi de sakte hai jisme sirf aur sirf uski hak hogi" Avinash said. (Nothing is required. But you can give anything to your daughter as a core gift, on which she and only she will have right.)

'I was really furious after listening about dowry. Aise soch ke wajah se hamare desh peche reh gaye hai' (Because of this kind of thinking our country has lagged behind)
"Aur haan I don't believe on those backward beliefs" I said with frustration.
He nodded.
"Aap ja sakte hai" I said. (You can leave now.)
[He left]

Bhairav while returning home bought sweets, ice cream and colddrinks etc.
𝑰𝒏 𝑩𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒗'𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆:
Shivani after listening to the calling bell opened the door.
"Jaakar ye sab fridge mein rakh do"said Bhairav. (go put all this in the fridge)
"Baba, ye sab kyu" asked Shivani. (Father, why all this)
"First fridge" said Bhairav.
Shivani came back after putting those in fridge.
"Beta maine tumhari shaadi tay kar di aur ve kal tumse milane aa rahe hain" said Bhairav. (Daughter I just arranged your marriage and they are coming to see you tomorrow.)
"Kya? Par kyu?" Said with shocked expression. (What? But why?)
Bhairav silent...
"Wait, kya yeh uss Avinash ke sath" continued Shivani. (Wait, is it with that Avinash)
"Shaadi se pehle pati ke naam nahi lena chahiye, beti" Bhairav said. (One should not take husband's name before marriage, daughter)
"Mai ye sab nahi manoongi. Kyu kiya aisa. Meri education bhi complete nhi huyi hai. Mere dost mujh par hansenge" Shivani said with sadness. (I will not accept all this.Why did you do this? My education is also not completed yet. My friends will laugh at me)
"Kisi ko pata nahi chalega. Sirph parivaar ke log present honge" Bhairav said. (No one will know. Only family members will be present)
"Aur mere financially independent hone ka sapna" Shivani said. (What about my dream of becoming financially independent)
"Tum shaadi ke baad job kar sakti ho. Usne khud kaha hai. Aur shaadi sirf family members ki presence mai ho jisse log tumhare bare mein baatein na manaye ye bhi" said Bhairav. (You can do job after marriage. He said it himself. And also that wedding should take place only in the presence of family members so that people do not talk about you)
Her mother who was listening to all these from kitchen came out.
"Itna sab ho gaya. Apne mujhe bhi nahi bataya" her mother said. (All this has happened. you didn't even tell me)
Shivani looked towards her mother and with tears left for her room.
"Naraj ho gayi. Han karne se pehle ekbar pooch to lete" her mother said. (She got sad. You should have asked once before saying yes.)
"Room mein chalo. Yahaan nhi bataan sakta" said Bhairav (Come into the room. Can't talk here)
[They left]
"Tumko kya lagta hai maine marzi se han kiye. Pehle to usne 50 lakh fine manga. Maine bola itna paise nahi hai to office bulaya. Phir maine request bhi ki paise na lene ke liye. Phir usne beti maang liya." Bhairav said (What do you think that I did it willingly? Firstly he asked for 50 lakhs fine. I said I don't have that much money then he called me in office. Then I also requested not to take the money. Then he asked for my daughter.)
"Apne maana kyu nahi kiya" her mother said (Why didn't you refuse?)
"Pehle poori baat sun to lo" said Bhairav. (Listen to the whole thing first)
𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒊 𝒑𝒐𝒗:
I was crying in my room hiding my face in pillow.

Then I thought my father is not like that to get me married to anyone. Something is wrong. I quietly went to their room and stood outside to know the truth.
"Han boliye" my mother said. (Yes tell)
"Maine maana kar diya. Aur phir usne dhamki di agr mein dono mein se kuch bhi naa karu to woh mujhe jail bhej dega aur phir tum logo ke sath kuch bhi kar sakta hai. Shivi ke sath zabardasti bhi" my father said. (I refused. And then he threatened, if I didn't do anything between those two, he would send me to jail and then he could do whatever he wants to with you all. Even coercion with Shivi.)
I kept my hand on my mouth to prevent myself from crying. I quietly came to my room and burst into tears. ___________________________________ 𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕𝒔 2:23 𝒂𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒖𝒑 𝒂𝒕 6:30𝒂𝒎 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍
