A Y Generation Love Story -chapter 20.
"Shiv wake up, your mom is at the door" Xavier poured a glass of water on shiv's face .
He woke up sati and dhivya and asked them to fresh up.
"Amma, how nice to see you?" Shiv hugged his mom as he opened the door.
"What sort of a son are you? Can't you even pick your mom up from bus stand? If that girl sati's celebrating her birthday you both stupids will go till her town and burst crackers. Good, why bother if mom comes home? It's her duty to feed her and rise you guys and give good education, support you till you get job and vanish from your lives as soon as you find your love?!" Shiv's mom was furious.
"Amma, breathe. You told me bus was at six . And you come to my home at six. Your mobile was switched off so we couldn't reach you" shiv was blurring out .
"Dude, don't bluff. Amma how about coffee?" Xavier took her bags in.
"Yeah , light coffee will make the mood okay" saying that she went to rest room . That was the precise moment sati came out of rest room . Perfect spot to meet your son's girlfriend. In his restroom wearing your son's shirt and not to miss those lipstic marks on it.
"Good morning aunty" sati didn't know what else to say.
"So you guys live together?" She asked them sipping the coffee.
Everyone was looking at the floor .
"Shiv I expected more standard from my son, I thought I raised you as a good kid" she abruptly kept down her cup.
"Amma, don't overact. It is so common over here" shiv said.
But you don't belong here shiv . Just imagine how your father would react to this? How sati's mother would accept this fact? May be it was my mistake . I trusted you guys from the beginning. I must have said a straight no"she said.
Sati started to cry .
"Amma listen. I made her stay here because I want you to know that she will marry me only me and not anyone else. Do you think we could do all nonsense and just before the day you came here, act like real good guys? I want you to know what are our plans together. I don't want someone else to say this to you and spoil your mind. We fell in love mom. Though she is wearing my shirt with lipstic mark on it, we were true to each other" shiv received a loud "shut up shiv" from his mother .
"Imagine you had a sister and if you find in a stranger's home in sturdy costume saying that she is in love with him ? Yeah I understand that you guys are influenced by Western attitude. But why do you just do that western attitude in your dressings and sex and food? In western countries, kids earn their own scholarships, they don't expect their parents to buy payment seats, they don't run behind money, they value patriotism. Why don't you guys have the guts to do those things saying that you are influenced by Western air?" She was so angry .
"Am so sorry aunty" sati was so hurt and upset .
"Amma am sorry . I know it didn't turn out the way you wanted but she is really a good girl and she is leaving the country tomorrow . Please don't make her feel bad. It doesn't mean that I love you any lesser than when I drew your painting . You are my everything so I tried to be bit trendy. I know I screwed up and I'll make it for it . Please amma, we need your affection and support"even shiv's voice became a bit shaky .
Shiv's mom opened her bag and took out few parcels .
"Sati come sit here" she patted to the sofa next to her .
"Don't be so upset. Afterall it's shiv's fault . Here I got you sweater few other cold clothing . And I heard you love spicy food items. So I made few spice powders. Let's start packing and make sure your baggage don't exceed the allowed limit".
The rest of the day was still a mystery to everyone . Lunch was prepared by sati under the supervision of shiv's mom. They seem to get along. The bonding factor was shiv's childhood. The way he would be a fat kid during his childhood days, they way he ran away from his singing classes, the way he fell in love with his English teacher in his class four.
"Aunty are we forcing our decision upon you? Do you really like me? I am really sorry for everything that happened in the morning" sati asked shiv's mom.
"Would you have any respect if I right away say oh nice meeting you sati get married to shiv soon?" She looked at sati .
"So is it a yes?" Sati asked her looking at shiv and his mom alternativly.
"Go to America, enjoy your work. You guys have time right? We will decide once the time comes. Twenty two is hardly an age to end up married" she said .
Shiv rised his thumbs and mouthed "you did it" .
Sati left in the evening to recieve her mother .
Shiv must convince her tomorrow before sati's flight . He was hopeless .
"Amma, are you angry on me?" He was sitting next to her in a sheepish way .
"No . But am not proud of you either" she replied .
"Sorry Amma" he said.
"Hmmmm, so I will leave by tonight?" She asked him .
"Amma what is wrong?" He asked .
"You want me to meet her. I met her. What's there for me to do? Tomorrow you will go and cry in front of her mother. I really can't stand all those " she said .
"Amma why would I cry? I will ask her permission. If she doesn't want us to get married, then we will see what can be done next" he said .
" you guys going to elope?" She asked .
"Amma" shiv was too irritated .
"Stop shouting, if you don't like me being here, just get me a ticket home and you can do anything with sati " she said .
He sat down holding his head.
He felt a hand in his shoulder.
He looked up.
His mom was smiling .
"Don't worry she is a good kid. Hope your dad likes her too" she said smiling .
"I love you Amma" shiv took his mom and jumped with joy .
"Put me down you idiot. Shiv listen . Shivvvvvv!"no matter what his mom shouted shiv was in a mood to celebrate.
Life is beautiful,
With love,
