The one thing I am glad about is that Mru is not covering up for the mom. She is exposing her to Atty.

Ugaadi & Nao vaari
“I want to get married to Mrunalini Ghatge Pa” he said his voice trembling and unable to sound out her last name fully
“We have been through this once before, with Mitra” Mr Rao’s expression was stoic
Apurva was stunned she stared quietly
It was a urgent family WhatsApp call at 11 PM
“Your mother stayed back to coddle you like you are a small child”
“I did not ask her to” Aatreya was irritated
“She canceled her ticket, I have sugar I have arthritis but she is there with you”
“I have lived in the States for 10 years I did not need her”
“She said you angrily cut vegetables in the evening earlier in the day and cut your thumb so much you needed sutures”
Aatreya hid his left hand quick
“ATTUUU” Apurva was shocked
Somesh Rao glared at Apurva for using the nickname
“You should let us use nick names” Aatreya was irritated
“Did DHRU’S mother tell you?”
“NO, We love each other Apu and I we feel close when we say that”
“What is this today?” he turned and glared at his wife
She lowered her gaze
“She is too afraid of you
Pramila nudged her son
She had canceled her flight and didn’t know when she was going back
“Her PF will not be complete if she doesn’t join her job in 3 weeks, because of the sacrifices she made she has not even saved for her own retirement
“You don’t have to worry I make enough for all of us”
“Now you will emasculate Mihir also?” Somesh was furious
“I AM NOT” Aatreya cringed
“I don’t have a child my brother already has emasculated me in that department” Mihir mumbled with a sigh
“It is not your fault” Somesh sighed
“Its MY fault?” Apurva began to cry
“Job running around, not resting, socializing too much…” Somesh listed it all “You don’t pray at all”
Pramila was a bit upset at her own husband finally
She started scolding him in Kannada
It became a shouting match
Not much was achieved
“I am calling the priest Mr Upadhye… and we are getting married among friends” Aatreya twisted the knife”
“Apurvaaaa” Pramila scowled accidentally “Aaatreya… what is this”
“I have to get married to her, she needs me Amma”
“WE NEED you… we are finding many nice girls… they are not even married from before” Somesh was proud
“Virgin Amma?” Apurva hiss whispered angrily
Pramila dodged the eye contact
“We cannot find a divorcee, if she has a child how will that child be a Rao?”
“Just like Dhru is”
“JAYADRITHA is NOT your child?” Somesh was shocked
“HE IS”
Somesh just stared…
“He does everything like Aatreya why wont he be”
Somesh was not convinced
A seed of doubt had been planted
He already hated Mrunalini this was just more ammunition
“Pa… please, don’t be so angry, he has something I don’t have”
“YET… say YET…. Its not over… you are not even 35”
“Pa… still he has a boy, such a beautiful boy… I mean so adorable” Apurva’s voice cracked
Somesh teared up he loved his children too much but was imprisoned by his beliefs and rituals to an extent it was impossible to escape
“Mihir’s family will laugh at us” Pramila whispered
“My family …” Mihir began and stopped bitterly
He came from a large family, two brothers and 3 sisters, all had two kids each, they frequently made snide remarks about their decision “not to start” a family
Apurva did not want anything to leak out
“They are good people they arranged 51 priests for the wedding havans” Pramila sighed proudly in Kannada
“And yet I don’t have a child, he never married her and he has a beautiful boy, if this is not God’s sign I don’t know what is Amma” Apurva pleaded
“Our forefathers have not made customs so we can trample all over it” Somesh waved a finger
“Bringing a child into the family is a blessing” Mihir finally spoke up
“Yes yes… I know you will soon… I am certain I am conducting special havan in Udupi Krishna temple next month”
“I meant Jaidrith” he said firmly
“I am willing to accept that boy” Somesh blurted… then quickly went on a guarded mode “If he is indeed Aatreya’s and has Acharya genes
“You doubt me now?” Aatreya had had it
“I like the girl don’t get me wrong… Amma likes her too… but we have to keep our distance… you cannot invite everyone we do business with into our home no?”
Aatreya shut his eyes and shook his head “This is absolutely insane”
“Will you bring the lift operator home in your building?” Somesh argued
“Why not?”
“Then why did you go to Wharton I say? You are blessed with superior learning power, “
“It has nothing to do with who my friends are pa”
“That lady is nice… you can give her money, but the boy has to live with us completely”
Aatreya got up and walked away
Just went downstairs to clear his head
Returned after his mother has slept around 1 AM
His thumb hurt like hell, he opened his pill container ands tared at the entire thing
“I plan to give them two weeks to change their mind… I am marrying her around Ugadi” he told Apurva as he walked
“can I come to your wedding?” she sobbed
He was emotional too
“You have to buy the wedding saree and the other traditional jewelry”
“Is she not wearing nao vaari?”
“Well I don’t know if she will continue to want to marry me firstly” he laughed through his tears
This middle class Indian parents are just too much. They will rather see their child suffer then giving up their thinking or traditions. Speaking from experience. 😔 😢
Mihir👏...How can they think of taking jaidrith away from Mrunalini her worst fear💔...So cruel of them to even bring that up🤔...Two set of parents one hurting their child for their selfish reasons and the other hurting their children for what the society will think😒...Eager to know how Aapurva and Mrunalini will bond❤️
Never lived anywhere except India. Thus asking, do people in US, Europe also think what will society think?
It is not your fault” Somesh sighed
“Its MY fault?” Apurva began to cry
“Job running around, not resting, socializing too much…” Somesh listed it all “You don’t pray at all”
jo apni beti ka nahi hua vo Mru ka kya sochega
i hate this man😡
nd Pramila😡 my dad always say ki aurat hi aurat ki dushman h.. i hate it when he says that but sadly can't counter him bcz its somewhere true😭
Can Mru stay happy in this family?🤔
Eventually what matters is, what kind of human being you are!
These guys are rigid but i don't think they are bad human being.
If they see them being happy, they will come around.
Yes, initially it will be uphill task to be in same house. But have seen it around, they make peace.
“Your mother stayed back to coddle you like you are a small child”
“I did not ask her to” Aatreya was irritated
“She canceled her ticket, I have sugar I have arthritis but she is there with you”
Indian parents constantly tend to remind you what they did for you.
Not complaining in general as I still would chose Indian parent any day. I guess, other than Asian parents no one would do that as they don't center their life around that of their kid or make as many sacrifices as here one does.
How can they even go there? Give Mru money and take her son away? Can they just buy the kid?
