Mr. Mehta reclined back in his chair sipping his Black tea with ginger and mint and he started running his mind on Zainab.
Mr. Mehta asked himself that what has she seen in him, He is a 60 years old man with while hair. He is not rich with multiple properties and ornaments. He is not politically influential that his association with someone can be used to fulfill one's self interests. Then why is this girl so much attached to him. Does she loves me so much that she is ready to remain single without me all her life. Is he doing the right thing in avoiding her and breaking her soft heart again and again.
Also he thought about himself. He has been without a female companion for the last 20 years. He has no one to share his his life's joys and sorrows. His son is grown up and busy with his own life. He confessed himself that many times he felt the need of a female to share his life and being a man obviously he has physical need for SEX which he has kept suppressed for the last 20 years.
His inner self started debating with him by flooding him with questions like Does she feels for Zainab as a man feels for a man physically. He confessed that when Zainab puts her hand on his hand then he feels very relaxed and contented by this feminine touch.
Also he asked himself this question that would he be snatching away Zainab from Purav. His son has missed motherly love and thats why he has become stubborn and ride. Getting this shock would break him down. Then also he thought that Zainab does not love him and if by force this alliance is made then in the long run both Purav and Zainab would lead a compromising life which would strain the relationship. Also seeing current times they might separate earlier spoiling both their lives and especially Zainab's .
Finally he said "Let me understand Zainab. Lets give her a fair chance. Then I will take further decision.
He remembered today's incident about how ride he has been to Zainab and she has been patiently hearing his out. He had not spoken to her in the way back from the temple nor had he bid her goodbye when he dropped her at her house. He felt bad for this stubborn attitude of himself and thought of asking Zainab for forgiveness. He has her number and he thought it good to call her right away.
He dialled Zainab...
Zainab was lying in her bed. She had shed tears for the cold attitude of Mr. Mehta that evening and she was morally down. Her eyes were swollen and she had not picked up calls of Purav and some of her close friends who had called her that evening...
Hearing the phone ring,, she thought of letting it go but thought of who is calling her in the night..
Seeing the number she was pleasantly happy and felt her sorrows vanish away. She picked up the call instantly.
Mr,. Mehta- Zainab beta !! how are you. Hope I am not disturbing you at this hour.
Zainab- Not at all Uncle !! I am ONLY yours and I am available for you anytime.... I miss you so much...
Mr. Mehta- Beta !! I called you to say to say SORRY for the events of today's evening. I have been very harsh with you and I should not have behaved with a girl this way. Please pardon me.
Zainab started crying ans sobbing- Uncle !! You now reside in my HEART and when someone this close becomes angry with you... One feels broken down. I was very demoralized today evening. I cried a lot ... Uncle !! You don't have to say me sorry. You are a man with a big heart and now you called me and I feel OK.
Mr. Mehta- Beta !! All this while I was thinking about the developments which happened between us... You are so different from other girls who are at your age. You are matured, soft, intelligent, infused with strong values and traditions, down to Earth and very emotional. All this while I have been avoiding you but I feel that you should get a fair chance. I feel that we start to know each other better and open ourselves to each other like a book. Then I can take a decision on you !! I don't to be in haste in taking such decisions which impacts so many lives... You , me and our families... What do you have to say ??
Zainab was so happy. After a long struggle finally her love is going in some positive direction. Sheepishly she said " I am in agreement with what you are saying. Lets know each other better !!
Mr. Mehta- So can we meet tomorrow at ABC Mall over a cup of coffee.
Zainab- I want time to fast forward and land me in the mall sitting next to you.
Mr. Mehta- OK.. Good !! Then lets meet. Bye..
Zainab- BYE..
Zainab was soooo happy. Whole night she tossed and turned on the bed and could not sleep properly.
In the morning, she devoted a lot of time in choosing what to wear and stiff like Make ups etc... she knew that Mr. Mehta liked Indian dresses especially Salwar kurti...
She got ready for the date and on the dress she put on her veil. She has vowed to herself that till the day she gets married to Mr. Mehta she would continue to cover herself with the veil... She would only reveal her beauty in the company of her lover ( Mr. Mehta).
She reached the mall and like a man of words, Mr. Mehta was already there waiting for her arrival.
She rushed to Mr. Mehta who could not recognize her in the veil. The veil is a sign of dominance and tool to showcase that women are below men in duties and intellect.
She removed the veil and blossomed like a flower. The public around her were amazed seeing this beauty blossom in the Mall. The women were jealous.
Mr. Mehta felt a tingle of excitement seeing Zainab. He wants to interact with Zainab as a woman and not just like his son's girlfriend in the way which he had been doing all this while.
