Things where moving at a steady pace. Soon it was march exam time everyone including me and Neha where busy with preparations for my final exams. Neha Involved herself so much that she literally used to studies each and every subject with me to give me company and also to help me when ever needed.
As exams got over it was time to have a blast. The plans were all set after a gap of 13 year Neeraj was invited by his parents to visit them with his wife(Neha) and son who is non-other than me(Chetan). By mid-April the results were declared and I top it against. It was time for double dhamaka, but due to hectic business schedule Neeraj could not accompany us. Neeraj’s brother Sachit came to take us. From hyd we took train to Mumbai which is approximately about 700 km Sachit chacha finished some work he had and from there we took bus to Shringarpur(a village in Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra).
Neeraj’s family is a joint family consisting of 10 members including him, Parents, three brothers and their wifes and a sister all elder to him. Their parents got married at the age of **. Hence they were not that old may be where around 60. But, look more like 50. Being farmers there were still strong enough and can make a 40 year old city guy run for his money. His brothers and bhabhi’s were around forties. Everyone was slim, muscular but soft natured.
As we reached the village we were greeted by a grand welcome with band baja. It was as if newly wed bride has come to their house. Neha never expected it and was overwhelmed by the love they showered upon us. She was confused as to why it took them so long to accept her marriage to their son. But later came to know of the compulsion they had due to old customs for acceptance and how the changes in the age old practices happened.
Once we entered the house we got surrounded by people like a swarm of bees. during all this time Neha never left me for a second until Neeraj’s dad came. Suddenly there was pin drop silence in the house Neha touched dada jii’s feet and took blessing from him and then from dadi and I repeated the same. On seeing me dada ji took me in his strong muscular arms and kissed me. Tears rolled out from his eyes and when I turned towards others it was no different. Everyone was crying, the tears of joy and pain got mixed and rolled out.
In no time it became dark we got fresh and had dinner. Whole family sat together and eat. While I sat in dadi’s lap and was fed by her and in between by dada ji. after dinner in no time we were asleep. Next morning I woke up around 8. Neha took me with her we both got fresh, had some tea and then breakfast which was served by chachi’s.
