Chapter Seven
Pintu and Krishna were now back to how they were before Pintu had married Pinky. Pintu got himself busy with his work and was slowly erasing the bad memories of his failed marriage. Krishna was doing well and her parents were more than keen now that she settled down.
Saraswati: Krishna, we are getting old and I think you need to really seriously consider marrying now. You are no longer that young. Soon you won't find good alliances coming for you. Even though you are the Collector.
Krishna: I'll think about it Ma.
Vidyapati: Krishna, your mother is right beta. We are getting old too isn't it?
Krishna smiles at her Dad. She loved him a lot and had a great bonding with him.
Krishna was relaxing wondering on what her parents had just shared with her when Pintu calls up.
Krishna sees the mobile and smiles. She loved to get a call from him. Though they did not meet that often, these calls would make her feel good.
Pintu of course confided in Krishna about everything ---
about the decisions he had to take at work ---
about the tiff or difference of opinion he had with his Dad ---
or even a small nok jhonk' that he had with his Bhabhi.
Krishna: Yes Pintuji, how was your day?
Pintu: Good and bad.
Krishna: But why both?
Pintu: Good because all went off as planned and bad because I need to go out of town for 2 weeks.
Krishna: What's bad about that?
Pintu: So you're happy that I won't be around is it?
Krishna: Pintuji, but we can always talk that's what we do most of the time even now.
Pintu: I know and that's what I want to change Krishna. Why don't we meet more often --- just talking over phone is not ---
Pintu doesn't know if he should complete that sentence.
Krishna: Pintuji, even I need to meet you. Shall we meet tomorrow?
Pintu gets excited and agrees to meet her the following day.
But this time before he went he spoke to Ganga.
Pintu: Ma, I am thinking of asking Krishna about us --- I mean me and her ---
Ganga looks at him. She could see that he was feeling slightly shy at admitting that he wanted to remarry --- and it had to be Krishna ---- his first love this time!
Ganga: Pintu, Krishna is a nice girl but you need to find out from her if her parents would be alright with this. Mainly because of her position and that you're a divorcee. Let's not forget that you broke off the marriage with her cousin. That makes it even more delicate.
Pintu: But Ma, did I not try my best to make it work? I did all I could. In fact, I did not even look at or think of Krishna once I married Pinky but what did I get in return?
Ganga understood his argument but she knew that to be parents of a girl meant they would consider all these points, so Pintu should go slow in this relationship after winning the hearts of Vidyapati and Saraswati too. She knew that Krishna would never be hard to convince.
Pintu: But Ma let me at least start talking to her about it. It should not happen that I am late and her parents fix her marriage elsewhere.
Ganga could read Pintu's anxiety which was justified and agreed.
Ganga: Pintu, please use your tact when you speak to her though I know that you two are good friends. She must have been heartbroken earlier so this time you cannot take the risk. Once you speak to her you will have to stand by your word of commitment under any circumstance.
Pintu nods and seeks her blessings and as he began to leave TTS comes there.
TTS: Pintu Singh, what is the mission you are going on? Seeking blessings from Ma --- don't you want me too to bless you for your success?
Pintu looks at his Dad and touches his feet too.
TTS then hugs him and says softly: I also love Krishna!
Pintu feels a bit embarrassed and says: Babuji, actually I was just ---
TTS interrupts: Ma has already told me and I know about it. Best of luck!
Pintu felt really glad that he had the approval of his parents and now only Krishna's side need to be dealt with.
Krishna was also wondering how she should tell Pintu about her parents asking her to think about marriage. But she had to tell him before she landed herself with some other person seen by her folks.
*****************
Pintu starts the conversation: Why did you want to meet me Krishna?
Krishna: Because you wanted to meet me too --- since you will be away for two weeks.
Pintu: Krishna, I need to ask you something though I'm not sure how to.
Krishna: Pintuji, my parents want to get me married.
Pintu's heart sank. He was worried now. He waited for her to say more.
Krishna: I think I need to tell them my wish now.
Pintu: And what's your wish Krishna?
Krishna: You.
Pintu's worry turned into relief.
He knew he got the answer to the question he could not ask.
Pintu: Krishna, shall I meet your parents and talk about us?
Krishna nods.
She was hopeful that Pintuji would be able to convince them and put to rest any fears they might have regarding this relationship.
*************
Could Pintu convince Krishna's parents?
Was it a smooth ride for them?

Chapter Eight
Pintu and Krishna decide to go to Krishna's place as Pintu wanted to speak to her parents. He actually just wanted to get "their feel" on him as speaking himself about their relationship would not go well with them and he was aware of that. It was more of a visit to read the thoughts of Vidya chacha and his wife Saraswati.
As they reach near the house, Pintu stops the car and says: Krishna, I am nervous. I wonder how to meet them especially after all that has happened in my life.
Krishna holds his hands and just gives him a reassuring smile.
They get down from the car and much to their dismay they find Pinky there.
Pinky gives a look to both of them and goes towards Pintu.
Pinky: How are you Pintuji?
She then glances at Krishna to see her reaction while Krishna just looks down.
Pintu does not find the need to reply to her question.
Pinky: This is called good luck --- when someone has just broken a relationship and finds another one waiting with open arms to embrace you.
Pintu begins to get angry. He tightens his fists but sees Krishna's eyes which had asked him to remain cool. Somehow he always respected her wishes as if they were commands for him.
Pintu: Come Krishna, let's go in.
Pinky: Oh yes, go Krishna and see the welcome he gets at your place.
Krishna and Pintu just leave Pinky and enter the house.
At Krishna's residence
Saraswati comes and sees Krishna with Pintu. She wasn't too happy but nevertheless asks Pintuji to sit down.
Vidya chacha too comes there but was cordial.
Pintu sits quietly with hands on each other for some time and then says: I think I should be leaving now.
Krishna sees this and looks at him. She tries to ask him why he was not talking of the issue for which he had come home.
Pintu conveys through his eyes that probably this was not the right time.
Krishna feels disheartened. She walks him up to the door to see him off when Saraswati calls her back at the pretext of some work.
Pintu looks at Krishna and asks her to go and she does quite unwillingly. She wanted to at least bid him a proper good bye as he was to be away now for two weeks.
Pintu sees her walk towards the kitchen as he leaves their house.
**********
That night Pintu found it hard while he was packing his bags. He had the approval of his parents but could not find the courage to talk to Krishna's parents. He knew she was still too timid to do it on her own. He tried to concentrate on his work and then went off to sleep.
Next morning as he loaded his luggage and left TTS mansion for the trip, his car spotted Krishna's official jeep a few meters away from his home. He asked the driver to stop. Krishna got off from hers and came to him.
Pintu stepped out to see her and smiled.
Pintu: Good Krishna you came, now I'll feel better and can carry on for the next two weeks.
Krishna: I came to tell you that I have spoken to my parents about us.
Pintu was shocked. He never thought she could have done that.
Pintu went near her and held her shoulders.
Pintu: What Krishna? Did you really speak to them?
Krishna nods in the affirmative and smiles.
Krishna: I had to Pintuji as otherwise in the next two weeks who knows they might come up with a proposal for me.
Pintu feels thrilled but then waits for a second and asks: What was their reaction? I mean did they say?
Krishna could see that Pintu was restless.
She says: They said they will go to your place and speak to your parents first.
Pintu was very very happy.
Pintu: Oh Krishna, I am so happy at this great news. I'm sure things are going to be great now as my parents are fine with you being their daughter in law.
Krishna: Pintuji, now you need to leave. I just came to share this news with you.
Pintu leaves happily and Krishna was extremely happy for him.
*************
Krishna left for her office but was unable to focus on her work. Being the highly committed officer, she did finish her designed work and got back home early.
Saraswati: Krishna, what's the matter? You are back home early? Are you unwell?
Krishna: No Ma, I am fine. I just want to rest a bit.
Krishna goes to her room to rest. She thinks of Pintuji and his smiling face as he left.
Saraswati meanwhile speaks to Vidyapati and tells him that since Krishna was home early they could call the boy's side to visit them that evening.
Vidyapati: Saraswatiji, let us first talk to Krishna about it. What is the hurry?
Saraswati: That is the problem with all men. Didn't you see yesterday Pintuji came home with her. Soon, who knows we might have Krishna saying she wants to marry him.
Vidyapati: Krishna will not do anything without our permission or consent.
Saraswati: Today I want that she meets this family and the boy. Please call them over. I am preparing the sweets to offer them in the evening.
Vidyapati did not want to upset his wife. So he agrees.
He then goes to Krishna's room and sees her thinking.
Vidyapati: Krishna beta.
Krishna wakes up from her dream world and looks at her Dad: Yes Papa.
Vidyapati: Krishna, your mother and myself want that you meet a family today. Since you have come home early it will be convenient for you.
Krishna gets the shock of her life. Her expressions were hard to hide and her Dad could read them well.
He however does not say much and leaves the room. His daughter's pain was unbearable for him but he had to first convince his wife too. So Vidyapati maintains silence.
Krishna on hearing all this feels bad at having lied to Pintu early that morning. She wanted him to leave with a happy heart ---- that was her intention. Little did she realise that she would be caught up in this mess so soon.
Just then her mobile rings and it was Pintu. She quickly makes herself strong and says: Hello Pintuji, is your train on time?
Pintu: Yes Krishna. This time I won't miss my train --- I mean the train of my life.
Krishna smiles.
Pintu: Krishna, see two weeks are going to fly and I'll be there and then ---
Krishna interrupts him: Pintuji, now simply make your tour a success and think of nothing else.
Pintu agrees and puts the phone down.
Krishna had to deal with this. She had decided to go through the motions and tell the boy directly and alone about her wishes.
That evening the boy's family had come along with the so called "to be groom" for Krishna. They saw Krishna and all were happy. This family did not mind having a working daughter in law after all she was in a good position.
A few minutes of general talk and then Krishna asked for a private talk with the boy.
Saraswati was furious though she could not show it. She just said: I hope you all can understand, now a days girls are different from how we were.
She makes sure to give Krishna a dirty look at the audacity to have voiced her wish of a private talk in front of elders.
Krishna and the boy leave and go to a room to talk.
Krishna straight away comes to the point.
Krishna: I cannot marry and I am sorry about that. My parents were keen on this meeting and I did not want to upset them so I agreed for it.
The boy kept looking at Krishna's frankness and said: You cannot marry or you cannot marry me?
Krishna was stunned to hear his question.
She tells him: I cannot marry you.
"He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect for more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you."
