Those 5 minutes - Page 113/135

It was 8pm and zia's dad had just arrived from office. He looked more exhausted than ever before. Zia's mom offered him water. She looked at her husband gulping down every sip of it. He looked very tired. 'Where is zia.?' He asked. 'In her room. ' 'What do i do jenn. I told Xavier's about cancelling the meet next week. He kept asking me the reason and i couldnt say anything atall.. it felt asif he's slapping on my face. See what has zia done jenn. How can our daughter do this with us? She's ripped my soul apart. Dint she think even one time about us? Where do we marry her now? What if she never forget that guy? Her life will be ruined forever alongwith her husband's. And ofcourse then ours. I don't understand what to do now jenn.. ' It was difficult for zia's mom to see her husband so low in his life.

'I think we should meet him.' she said. 'What.? Why? Don't you think that will change my mind jenn. He is that cheap roadside Romeo who has trapped my .. my daughter in his trap. I will hit him black and blue if is him in front of me..' Zia heard her dad's raised voice and knew it must be for her. She bended forward near her room door to hear their talks.. 'David. Listen to me. Our daughter is loving jai..' 'Dont take his name. That fuc** useless maharashtrian boy ..' Dad interrupted.. ' 'Okay okay fine.. but you also know how difficult it will be for us to marry her somewhere else. It's better we meet up and talk to him.. And then decide..' 'But the decision is already taken jenn. Its clearly a NO. I am sure this zia must have blackmailed you.... zia.. Zia come here..' Dad screemed on top of his voice at zia to come out.
