Dad’s Marriage
When Dad’s closest friend (Let me call him Mr Sattar) was going out of town for training in his field of interest, he invited Dad to accompany him.
They reached the destination in a matter of a few hours. Then Mr Sattar took Dad to his in-laws’ home. Dad was soon flipping through the pages of the host’s family album to keep himself busy. When he came across a lady’s picture, he stared long enough at her in the picture itself and asked Mr Sattar, “Is she slim like that in reality?” Well, Mr Sattar replied, “Yes” and guessed Dad’s intention behind querying about it.
Mr Sattar and Dad were going to the in-laws’ place more frequently. And soon enough Mr Sattar came up with a proposal for that lady in the picture on behalf of Dad. But Sattar’s in-laws’ answer was a strong “NO”. Dad was not too tall and also he was soon leaving for abroad for his PhD. On these grounds, the in-laws of Mr Sattar did not accept the proposal.
But Dad was too determined, not ready to give up that easily. He knew in order to make his plan work, Mr Sattar couldn’t help him anymore. So he wrote a letter to Sattar’s chubby, tall and fair wife talking about all his passions for her sister. Well, Sattar’s wife melted down on reading that letter and went about convincing her family that Dad would be the ideal partner for her sister. And yes, things started to make progress in their own pace and gradually the answer turned out to be a “YES”.
So the great ceremony was soon taking place at Mr Sattar’s in-laws’ residence with good dinner arrangements as well as modern lighting systems. It was a grand wedding. Dad and Mom got married happily.
Soon Dad was going to pursue PhD studies. And he was on his way overseas once again. Meanwhile Mom got admitted in a university in the city, staying at some relatives’ home. Then things were going to take a sharp turn for the couple, which you will get if you follow me up.
