Cup of tea page 2

Meena's father mentioned Jai that he still works to support his family. Meena's father worked in a mill as a supervisor, he mostly had night duties and would live late and come early morning. Meena's mother made a tasty sweet dish, which Jai and Meen's father both gulped in as if they were hungry for daya. Both mother and daughter watch the two in worry. Jai cell phone started to vibrate he picked it up and it was Radhika on the other side. "Sweetie you know you have to come to our house and not at my hostel......." In reality this info was a bit misplaced by Jai in his brains. Radhika lived in a hostel and her parents lived on the outskirts of the city. It was a hour and half drive on a bike. Jai, quickly got up and did not converse much to both Meena's Dad or Mom. They wanted to speak with Jai more but he made up his mind. Rich farmer's daughter Radhika is always a better choice than Meena. He would soon let Meena know that and get away from this relationship.
It took him 2 hours to reach the farm house. He read the time on his watch and it was 9pm. He was a lot late than he anticipated. At the entrance was a dog tied, that seemed like hungry to eat anything and everything if he been freed. He walked in scared of what would happen next. He entered the bungalow that stood besides the large farm.There were so many lights in that one house as there would be in a small village. Solar panels installed on the terrace suggested that the family had some modern science knowledge with them. Radhika quickly greeted him, so did her mother. They had prepared a large Supper for him. Radhika said "Jai, my father goes to the city everyday for some paper work, else we really feel no need to work, with such a large farm and so much of money, my family makes enough" Radhika's mother stood besides Jai as he gulped in some food and prayed that he do not have an upset stomach tomorrow with so much food in one evening. Just then a man entered the house, Jai looked at him, and gave a smile as Radhika introduced him to be her father. His smile shrunk, his face got red and then he smiled again. Jai looked down and continued eating. It seems he did not want to look at the man's face directly. He was amazed with his luck, the man standing in front of Jai had seen Jai with Meena.
After the dinner, Radhika's mother explained Jai and Radhika on how the marriage works and why she loves her husband. She also told Jai that he should care about her daughter and this relation needs to be a bigger success than her marriage. All this while Jai was busy thinking what would Radhika's Dad say. Radhika's mother and Radhika left to sleep and then the moment came. It seems like the end was near, Jai saw Radhika's Dad approaching him with a cup of tea. "Son lets talk about something that I know, and I know that you know that I know, but then even you know something that I did not want anyone to know........but then I want to know, what you really have known..........." Jai took the cup of tea from the man, and offered him an hanker chief to wipe off his forehead. Jai then stood and said "I love your daughter Radhika....I have taken my decision............now you have seen me with Meena and you would not like a guy like me to marry your daughter Radhika............."
"Who said that ?" the man aksed and continued, "if you love Radhika it is alright, but remember that then you will have to tell the other girl. I don't want you to do a mistake that I did years back............"
Radhika'a father was about to leave when Jai said "Thanks Dad, little would have I known I would have brought you with me on my bike............." The man smiled, both his daughters Meena and Radhika had apparently chosen the same man........................
