Journey - Part VI

Kusuma's parents had arranged her meeting with a boy named Rajan for her. And this time, K couldn't say no to it because she had postponed her marriage for a very long time. Also, she had to respect her parents' decision cause they had waited for her approval so long. Now that the day had come, K was happy to get married. She just hoped this one would be her kind and she too would get into a very satisfying, fulfilling, funfilled, excited married life like her other friends. she just prayed::: "whoever this Rajan is, let him b my kind of a man ". The meeting was in the evening on a sunday. she was appropriately dressed for the occassion. She had worn a KSIC mysore silk blue colour saree with a sleeveless blouse. Kajal to accentuate her big eyes, a bit of shimmer, gloss on the lips , hmm... she looked gorgeous. . She had worn minimal gold jewellery to compliment the overall look. She was in her room upstairs when she heard her parents greeting Rajan and his family. They are here she thought. She peeped out of the window and saw a Honda City, Silver colour car parked in front of the house. She was very fond of big cars. She just hoped it was Rajan's . She came down when ajju came up and called her. Ajju said: "don't say no to him. He is wow. he looks rich too... check him out baby". After the customary exchange of Hi s and Hello s , K sat next to her mom in the chair that was deliberately kept opposite Rajan's.
She looked cool and composed and glanced at him once in a while , the traditional way. She looked at his watch from the corner of her eyes and thought:: "hmm... not bad, Omega". Rajan , 7 years older to her was an established architect. His father , a very well known advocate did most of the talking and K felt that he was a man of words. His mom, however, was the silent one ,letting the husband talk. Rajan was 5ft. 11 inches tall , dark and handsome. He looked groomed, classy and at the same time cool... She felt a little shy when Rajan looked directly into her eyes a couple of times when others were busy talking. She liked his sense of dressing. Van Heusen, formal beige coloured shirt with a black pant, black shoes, omega watch, his hair neatly combed back, nice perfume too..she liked it all.. K was the first one to start the conversation. So, tell me something about your interests she asked. Rajan lifted his eyes up and asked her :: Can we talk in private for a while pls???
