chapter 12

My Mumma, papa, two elder brothers, grandma and I are sitting in TV room.

This my house. 4 rooms, hall (TV room) and kitchen. I sleep in TV room. My two elder brothers, Mumma- papa have their rooms. And I am girl, I am gonna marry one day so...

I don't need my room. At least I have a room where I sleep alone.

So at day time it's our TV room and at night it's my bedroom. After having dinner. We all are welcome watching a idol drama. Brothers and papa are engaged in their phone. And Mumma and I are watching TV..

Now the drama ends. And everyone is going to sleep. I gained courage somehow and stopped them and said,

" Mumma - papa, I want to say something."

Papa said, " we will talk in morning."

"No I want to talk now."

Everyone has sat down and Mumma said, " what is it jazzelle."

I inhaled a deep breath and said,

" I want to go to Mumbai and want to do job there, I want to live on my own."

An strange and horrific silence is in my room right now. It's quite scary. But I kept continue with my words,

" mumma - papa I know you will not allow. You will say it's not safe and many more things. But there are so many girls who is living Alone in cities. I will take good care of myself. I've always done what you said. You said don't go for partying or picnic with friends, I accepted. Even after getting selected in an examination for a school admission in other city. You said I can't go. I accepted. I've never ever said anything. Only for six months papa. Once I complete my internship, I will come back and will do what you will say."

I've said so much. Mumma - papa and everyone are quietly listening to me.

After this papa only said one thing, " ask me if you will need anything there."

I was so happy. I hugged him and started to cry. I hugged Mumma and my brothers.

Mumma was happy but a bit tensed too. Brothers were telling me to inform them if I face any difficulty.

Mumma - papa agreed. But only on one condition. After this internship. I will get engaged with person they will choose for me.

I've agreed to not to fall for anyone.

Mumma - papa did this for my own good. I easily trust on anyone. They don't want me to get hurt.

Mumma-papa agreed. I just can't express my happiness
