Jasmine was done with her engineering and was able to find a job.She always wanted to do a job where she could make decent money, gift her mom a saree, gift her brother an Ipod, make a memorable trip with her friends.These were her quintessential wishes she wanted to do before she gets married to a guy who is decided by her parents.
Arpit was a guy who was masters in business administration and was working in Singapore as consultant in a multi-national. He had a colleague who was Korean and to his understanding, she understood every part of him.He wanted to marry her, but it was way too much for his parents.Arpit anyway could not dare to tell his ideas of marrying her and the only way he could marry her was by disappointing his parents.
Meanwhile Arpit parent's found a bride who was coincidentally Jasmine, as she belonged to the same community as that of Arpit.
Jasmine was told about Arpit by her parents and was shown a photo of him by an e-mail.Jasmine always wanted to know in detail of the person she is getting married to as she knew she will get married once which has to long lifetime.However, she hardly had anytime to know about him.The coming weekend as insisted by Arpit's parents, he has to travel to Agra, India, to meet his parents and go to meet Jasmine parents and decide on the prospect of the marriage.Jasmine was a good looking girl, not very modernized as the Korean girl and was more or less another orthodox Indian girl who had simple dreams, simple ideas and simple ways of having fun.She could be very happy with her first beer,first kiss ,or her first date with her prospective husband.
Jasmine had to undergo a long interview with the parents of Arpit where she had to answer questions like ,if she can cook, tailor clothes and her behavioral aspects w.r.t children.Jasmine parents did the part of their effort to prepare her for the interview well.They knew the questions which were to be asked as if they were leaked from the interviewer and they prepared her for the responses to the questions.Jasmine was not happy of all these as she hated banality, but again she had to submissively accept without any retaliation.
Jasmine had to find a way to know if she can fit to his ideas and he can fit to her thoughts.She contemplated here and there and finally thought of taking the help of a friend, Aakash.Aakash was her colleague and a nice guy.Aakash had a history too in this story and he is attracted to Jasmine and when Jasmine asks her to find a way to know about Arpit and if Arpit is worth enough for a lifetime, he like any other Bollywood flick, subdues his emotions and gets ready to do the best for Jasmine as if it is the only holy task left on earth.He tries to content himself by becoming the best friend to Jasmine.
Meanwhile Arpit has to subdue his emotions of his soul mate, the Korean girl and this recipes to a beautiful confusion.
Arpit had to make sure that Jasmine fits in his lifestyle.He had to ensure that she is decently read, well spoken so that he can take her to the social obligations he has to meet.He was concerned about the materialistic aptitude of her and this were pretty much asked by him and his parents.
Jasmine had to find a way here and was relying on Aakash to bring her to rescue.Aakash had an experience of adoring Jasmine and he concluded that the best way to help Jasmine is to dump his emotions he looked for the person he wants to marry.He calls her, says her that If she can ensure that the marriage happens somewhere after three months, she can ensure if she gets a right person.She should initially try to communicate with him for few times and then, as the God by nature has made men desperate will start taking care of the attention.Meanwhile, she can find his tastes, tell a bit about her too.In course of time, She should disclose some of her past , and make him disclose some of his sensitive past too.This formula needs time and this will ensure that the right thing is executed.
PS: Arpit marries Jasmine in next 4 months, the emotion of the Korean girl is faded from his mind and both are living happily.
PPS: An effort for a story on a difficult subject which was suggested by a friend.
PPPS: I hope the effort is worth it :)
