Ritika's POV

It was obvious with the look that faces of my Parents held . My mom along with aunt sharla (swati's mom)  went in there highschool reunion and to inform you all , my mom had a friend named Radhika and they were more like "do jism ek jaan" two bodies one soul ...like if they thought alike had same taste same mentality they had too many things in common and my mom was hyped to meet her as she lost with her contact after she got married to someone whom she doesn't deserve  according to my mother... But now she was going to meet her after nearly 30 years .

" Oh you both came !!" my mom said and ran towards me to give me a tight hug as if I met her after years .

"Ah ! Your mouth stinks badly Swati ... What you had ???"she asked raising her brows .

"Nothing badi maa just had some meat balls with onion and garlic sauce !!"swati tried to hide....

"Wait you had meat balls on tuesday ??? , Are you out of your mind Swati???" , Sharla aunty exclaimed in a loud voice .

"Oh !! Common mom .. not the chicken meat balls it were regular cheese balls but I liked calling them meat balls so I said it ..." Swati tried to give excuse.

"You are straight going to your room having a quick shower ,rinse your mouth and them come down in exact hour " sharla aunty tried to stay calm while her big elephant sized eye glared to express all her emotions....

I was enjoying at the corner seeing Swati's condition...Yaa I was , I mean who won't laugh at ones stupidity she spoke first and pulled all the headshots at herself . she knows me from childhood and also knows how good am I at making excuses. Guess someone are made up in a fact they won't take help from anyone no matter the trouble get into but my dear sister is only stubborn still she doesn't fall in a pit. She knew how much of orthodox was Sharla aunty when it came all about religion although she was of modern thinking and had no old school type of thoughts .

Finally my sister looked towards me with puppy eyes in order for a escape plan I giggled and then spoke "chachi isne khali lahsun aur pyaaz ka chutney khaya hai  aur thora mooli bhi khaya hai hamne aapko toh pata ,mujhe kitna pasand hai !!!(aunt she only had garlic onion sauce along with raddish ,you know how much I like it right !!!" 

" chalo chalo thik hai bahana banana band karo tum dono jaldi se change krke neeche aao zaruri aur achi baat krni hai (stop bluffing around and come down fast after changing your clothes there is a important and blissful thing to be discussed " , my mom said without even looking at us and keeping her eyes fixed in the cell phone while she was going through some photos in gallery .

Swati knew what came after we neglected that behavior of mom so she grabbed my hand and dragged me to change our room . Yes we live in same room from our childhood until I went Roorkee to complete my Btech in software engineering .

We lived happily together me Mom , Dad ,aunt Sharla, Ramesh Uncle and Swati . When I was 5 dadi asked dadu to  transfer  all the properties on my and Swati's name our grandma left us the very same year . Currently Ramesh uncle works as a manager in CCC bank and my father gives attention to both our family business in bakery and also the restaurant he owns "The Sharma's ".

We went up the stairs and were down in an hour smelling fresh and refreshing in our night PJs .

After dadi's death mom became the sweet boss bitch of the house though my grandpa was the one who took and made decision in our family but nobody dared to cross my mother's word because according to what my dadu  says  mom took all the behavior and of her MIL (mother in law) from the work ethic to the families all the rituals which she followed .

We sat on the sofa waiting for my supreme court to open her mouth and she did to drop a bomb for Swati with a big smile spread all across her face .

"You are going to get married , there was a proposal which came up for you and this time you will not be giving your opinion , you already have rejected a dozen of boys . " she said pointing towards Swati .

Swati froze on the spot with her hands cold as ice which I quickly grabbed . A tear formed at the corner of her eyes she said nothing and just hung her head down to hide it from others.

Mom continued , " They are from well family background and he belongs from my friend Radhika's family we will never get that good family and proposal you are old enough to start a family to support your husband. We accepted it on your behalf and have also decided the date of engagement which is this Sunday , if you want I can talk and arrange for you to meet your to-be-husband , but have faith in your mom and me we have selected the best boy you could ever get and you will ever want ." she then came and hugged Swati giving her sweetest smile and kissing her forehead.

I was dumb struck and had no idea what was going on , I needed time to process what happened in front of me . Sharla aunty was also smiling a lot  she said nothing that time it was limit when aunt spoke " You will never break trust will you ?? I gave them my words that my daughter will marry your son , help me to keep my words beti ." 

My father simply came and waved his hand on Swati's head and gave his warm smile " You will like the result ."

They all were returning back to their rooms before my mom spoke again ,"Ritika be ready tomorrow by 8 in the morning we both have to go somewhere and Swati I have told vishnu  will provide you with the list of sweets you need to learn , cause you no nothing to make in sweets and don't worry Maria will help you out until we will be back ."

She said and left the hall leaving me open mouthed and Swati all in tears .

Yup , I told you my mom was the sassy boss who don't listens to anyone and only does what she feels right .

I was still confused of what to do , my mind was boiling on the incident just happened . I mean I know we are your daughters but you cannot decide or take decision in such a big step of life ??

I turned to build a moral support for Swati , I have seen how she was building a courage wall around her to propose Vaibhav she has been stalking him on Instagram and Facebook.

"Swati ?? " I was cut in between 

"Don't say a single word and sleep in the guest room today , tomorrow we both have a lot to do.", she said and ran inside the room I guess I knew what was going to happen after all she needed time to heal her heart , and accept the new turn her life is taking.

And now the only thing I was left with was dealing  with my mom because I was the only one bold enough to argue with her on any topic but I kept a limit to my voice and stubbornness because after all she was my mother.

I went inside the guestroom to hit the bed to prepare myself for the big argument of tomorrow.
