Vaibhav:I spoke to the Pandit yesterday itself.

Mother was saying that an ausipicious date of three months hence would be correct.

A gap of more than three months doesn't look good.

Especially as you work alone in another town. People make up stories then, you can understand that.

I'll take care of all the venue bookings as well. I have to speak to your father as well.

The car has to be booked now by him.

if we want the delivery by the wedding date.

I'll take a leave from office also for the wedding.

For the wedding and honeymoon, 15 days should suffice.

My friends were saying that we should go to Goa for the bachelors party.

You do one thing, come over next week.

Mother needs to start with the shopping.

She has selected some stuff for me... you as well.

Anuja: I cannot take a leave now Vaibhav.

It is my first day tomorrow.

I'll try sometime next month..

Vaibhav: Listen the preparations for our wedding cannot stop for you.

Is your job more important than the wedding?

Anuja: Uncle the duplicate key?

Landlord: I looked for it but couldn't find it.

I'll give it to you tomorrow.

That's ok. Thank you.

Just check for the water and all.

Yes will check.

Alright.

Vaibhav: So you come over next week and don't give these silly reasons about your job.

Is the school going to close if you don't go for a few days?

You anyway have to quit after a few months and come here.

Then give importance to the things that are important.

And anyway, mother doesn't like the fact that you work.

So whenever you speak to her, don't throw this working woman attitude.

Got it?

Anuja:(pleading) Vaibhav you are making a mountain out of...

Vaibhav: (Angry) This isn't a molehill. This may be small for you...

I'll have a word with your father about this. Things cannot go on like this.

What is mother supposed to tell people? The girl is busy with work?

Anuja: I am just requesting that....

Vaibhav: What?

This is a major problem that needs to be sorted.

I'll speak to your father.

Anuja (pleading): No Vaibhav please don't tell him.

Vaibhav: No this cannot go on like this. This is not how marriage works.

I am a grown up, I have seen the world, I understand things.

Anuja: No please Vaibhav no please.

Vaibhav: Am speaking to your father. I don't want to say anything else.

Father (angry): What the fuck do you think you are doing?

Just because I've allowed you to work, you seem to have become independent.

I'll drag you back home by your hair.

You are not going to find another groom at this age.

Plead, beg or kiss his feet.

If he's asking you to quit your job then quit it dammit.

If I get another complaint from him then you better watch out.
