AALOO PARANTHA


"You should find a boy for you Trisha, you are 28 now...” Piya said while sipping the coffee and trying to feel the fresh breeze of Mumbai.
"Ya, I am trying...Soon I will give you good news...”Trisha giggled while getting ready for the office.
Trisha and Piya are roommates for nearly 3 years, both are independent working girl. Trisha's parents died in an accident few years ago. After that she was all alone so she shifted to Mumbai and start working as art director in Silver Picture Company.

Trisha opened his mailbox as a part of her daily activity and quite surprised to see a mail from shoba.s@gmail.com; she doesn’t know any Shobha.
Hii,
You have requested some more info about Rajeev on the matrimonial site. Rajiv is out of India right now; I am her mother. I liked you quite and want to meet you in person.
If you are interested call me @7549845230.
Shobha Srivastva.”
Trisha tried to recall about Rajeev. Oh ya, she saw the add on the matrimonial site which has her profile
“RAJEEV, 30. Pilot, Wanted bride…………”
She left the mail requesting some more information.
She called on that number and inquired few things in a very friendly manner. Finally she decided to meet Shobha Aunty @ Saturday morning 11.
“What would you like to eat, beta?” Shobha Aunty asked affectionately.
“AALOO PARANTHA” Trisha replied immediately.

Fragrance of AALOO PARANTHA is filling the room…while Piya and Trisha are trying to make themselve comfortable on the couch. Trisha is looking beautiful in that blue saree.
“Is Rajeev Father is not around?” Piya enquired while refusing AALOO PARANTHA as she is on a diet plan.
“He is at office. Actually he is a government employee so he has his office even at Saturday.” Shobha aunty replied while putting AALOO PARANTHA in Pan. “My husband is so busy in his usual office work and didn’t have the time to think about a thing like his son’s marriage…but I am a mother...So I posted that add on the site”
“Aunty, do u have any picture of Rajeev?” Trisha asked as she couldn’t find any picture of Rajeev on site.
“Ya “Shobha Aunty replied pointing towards a photo frame on the top the Television.
It’s was a picture of six year old.
“He is so cute, I love him already” Trisha giggled and Piya smiled.
Shobha Aunty served the AALOO PARANTHA to Trisha Suddenly the door bell rang.
Trisha love the AALOO PARANTHA made by Aunty. The door bell rang again this time it is Rajeev’s dad.
“who are these people “he enquired
“This is your soon to be daughter in law Trisha..”
Rajeev dad expression changed. He looked at Piya and said “ I am sorry but we don’t have any son,our only son died when he was six.”
Trisha hand went over to her throat…
Rajeev dad continues...” I am sorry but my wife hasn’t been able to recover from tragedy...”
Trisha fell on couch and a white fluid oozing out from her mouth.
Rajeev mother’s SPECIAL AALOO PARANTHA has worked…she has chosen a wife for her son…. ! TRISHA DIED.
Piya is still not able to judge this mother love….
