Nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs. Kumar had
mustered courage and placed their proposal, cautiously, before Nirmala and
Prashant, one evening. “Here is the resume and horoscope, along with the latest
photo of our only daughter Jaya. Kindly match it with Prashant’s horoscope and
let us know if you would be willing to consider our daughter’s match for your
brother. We’ll take care of all the preparations for the wedding. Also, let us
know whether you desire any gifts from our side. Jaya is the apple of our eye
and our only daughter. Everything that is ours, is hers,” they suggested,
evidently referring to any demands for dowry that the might have.
“Mr. Kumar, we are against any give and take. I am against this system of dowry. If Prashant is interested, I don’t have any objection to this match,” Nirmala said haughtily. When their family’s astrologer confirmed that their horoscopes matched perfectly, the stage was set for the wedding. Prashant’s happiness knew no bounds.
