[Excert from " IN QUEST OF RIGHT BRIDE"Sipra Roy
Soon the grandma entered and introduced the girl with Suraj .
The girl greeted with folded palms .She was pretty fair with large big eyes, long hair up to knee, a symbol of beauty and kindness, typically born to be wife .
Rajdeep and grandma went out of the room after few minutes .
The girl was playing out of shyness with her own fingers. She was looking gorgeous with golden bordered orange colored 'sari' .
Suraj felt free and comfortable with the atmosphere .
He asked softly,"what's your name ?
-" Padmini "
{ ...Actually what to ask nest?....(Suraj was thinking)}
Suraj: Do you go theater hall to watch movie?
Padmini: Nodding her head (shyly) answered,"mostly in TV at home".
Suraj "did you ever travel anywhere other than this place?"
Padmini- "yes ; Delhi, Mathura , Brindaban and Jhansi .'
Suraj: Did you ever stay apart from your parent ?
She nodded her head .
Suraj: I stay in America, far away land . Will you feel
comfortable there, leaving parents?
Instead of answering, Padmini jumped and screamed horribly as two mice who were playing gymnastics on the ceiling dropped suddenly to her bosom.
Parents with Rajdeep entered rushing into the room.
Padmini fainted; Grandma cried loudly, "pour water on head and call the doctor immediately, bring spoon from the kitchen's shelf ,blood is coming out from her tongue as it is stuck between her teeth tightly; her both fists were tightly closed , eye-lids were coming out ; A scene of commotion!
Padmini was carried unconscious with 'horror stricken open-eyes' in another room . The doctor came;
Suraj stood up bewildered; Janakilal folded his palms ;
"Please pardon us, She is afraid of lizards and mice... they cause her epilepsy. ......I am so sorry "...
Coming to the car Rajdeep apologized ,"pardon me, I didn't know the girl has any disease."......
Suraj: Looking to his wrist watch, "never mind , let us go to the other place ."
While his inner mind consoled him that he must thanked elephant headed-god (Ganapati) who helped by sending his messenger-mice who actually saved him from the risk of responsibility of a deceased girl whole life as wife to make the rest of life hell !
The girl he interviewed was really pretty and captured the mind of suraj; She seemed a perfect woman to make him loving father in future!
He felt tired and frustrated of interviewing another girl!
The car was running smoothly; Suraj appreciated the road of the country which improved comparatively better than that of his time.
