Arranged Marriage- "Never Have I Ever"

Chapter 5: "Never Have I Ever". 


Friend: "Do you even like men?"

Kanya: "I do. I like lots of men".

Friend: "I mean, do you want a man?"

Kanya: "Don't know. Never had any". 

 

Dad: "Aren't there any good boys at office who are single?"

Kanya: "All good boys are married".

Dad: "All of them?"

Kanya: "Even the bad ones are.."

Dad: "Maybe some good boys are still single. Have you been on the 20th floor ever?"


College Senior: "So, are you seeing someone?"

Kanya: "No, I am not".

Guy: "No boyfriend?"

Kanya: "No".

Guy: "Any exes?"

Kanya: "No X, No Y and No Zs"

Guy: "That was not a good joke".

Kanya: "That was not a joke".

Guy: "So no boyfriend ever?"

Kanya: "None whatsoever".


Mom: "Are all your male classmates married?"

Kanya: "No".

Mom: "So maybe you can marry one of them".

Kanya: "Maybe. Which one?"

Mom: "I like all of them. Choose any one".

Kanya: "Any one? Randomly?"

Mom: "What is random here? You already know each of them". 

Kanya: "But do we ever really know anyone?"

Arranged Marriage- "I didn't realise..."

I am location agnostic. Looking for a career oriented woman. If either her career or mine takes us to another city, I will be willing to discuss with my wife on what suits both of us the best.

 After such too good to be true statements from a few otherwise nice Var(s), conversation #3 or #4 goes like this:

Var: How are you?

Kanya: I am good :) How about you?

Var: Yeah, I am good too, but I have been thinking. You are in Ahmedabad and I am in Hyderabad. So, how will we meet each other?  

Kanya: Either of us could fly to meet the other one I guess.

Var: Really? Aren't you like too far away? 

Kanya:  Neither of us need to apply for a Visa to see each other, you know :P

Var: Yeah, of course. But still, I cannot see myself coming ALL THE WAY to Ahmedabad. Almost a 2 hour flight. I guess it makes more sense for both of us to look for someone who is local, you know.

Kanya: Just out of curiosity, where is this coming from? You knew where I am and you obviously knew where you are; from day 1 of us talking to each other. 

Var: Yes, but I didn't realise that we would like each other and have to eventually meet in person.
