Suhail never expected Mikha would do this. This new avatar of hers was shocking. If it was from Manav, he wouldn't have been surprised. Marriage conditions!! What was this now? After buttering her, doing almost every chores in the house like unpaid worker and taking her out, she came up with this. Why? Didn't she trust him? Didn't she consider him to be worthy enough for her sister Tia? Tia seemed as surprised as Mikha. She too didn't expect this from Suhail.
" What? What are you saying, Mikha?", Manav asked angrily. He found his wife's conditions foolish. "I didn't even start! I only said if Suhail and Tia agrees that they can adhere to these conditions, I am happy to get them married. Marriage is not a joke. You are young and totally in love. You will understand true self of each other once you are married. There will be ups and downs. Are you capable enough to face them together when your relationship is under difficult times", she said.
"But you never spoke about these conditions to me when we were getting married?", Manav asked and quickly added, " I am not supporting Suhail with my statement. I find your conditions stupid." Suhail smirked at his comment. "What a bastard?", Suhail thought while looking at Mikha with begging eyes.
"Please don't do this, Dee.", Tia begged in distraught. She almost cried when Mikha placed her hand on Tia and said, " Why are you guys overreacting? These conditions are nothing serious. If your love is strong, you can bear them. Manav, I never mentioned these conditions to you because I know what marriage to you contained for me. I was sure I would have bit of sacrifices as well as struggles. Tia is naive. She is fickle minded. Today she might want this . Tomorrow she might not want that. She is not used to sacrifices and struggles. She isn't aware that marriage is beyond celebrations. It is a responsibility. She got all the good things in life. She never had to struggle in life. She has tantrums when her wish isn't fulfilled. I am sure Suhail can manage that now. But he can't meet all of her demands of monetary value and socially." Manav smiled when Mikha mentioned about Suhail's disadvantage. He knew he couldn't satisfy Tia.
Tia looked at her with disbelief. She still didn't understand why her sister didn't consider as grown up. She didn't argue. She listened when Mikha listed down her conditions. Suhail listened calmly. He didn't have any other choice. Mikha put down her conditions:
a) Shower attention
b) Appreciate. Criticism kills the romance
c) Accept. Accept. Accept everything.
d) Love even if you hate
e) Spend time. Time is precious.
f) Create memories. Sweet ones more. You need them more
g) Go on dates. Enjoy. Travel places. Go for exotic holidays.
Suhail and Tia smiled. These conditions seemed simple. They had followed most of these conditions since the time they were in relationship with Tia. He treated Tia like a queen. He promised to keep her happy. They looked at each other and agreed.
