Granny smiled," it is not such a thing, we are not in a hurry. But you see, our ancestors used to fix marriages in childhood itself, now this generation they do it at twenty five or six, but there is no rule like this before My marriage happened in my childhood, I came to your grandfather's house when I was fourteen. Earlier we had such customs here that marriage was done in childhood, otherwise no one liked it.we not hurry your marriage but according to old generation we going keep only engegment .".

Listen to granny word aashu shocked"Ooh my god ! granny what is this. Why do people do this.At that time they were kids too, then we don't know why they got married so early?" This agenst the rule in our country ".

Granny started laughing after hearing Aasu's through, "Earlier it was like this only. But don't worry, it is not like that now. Right now we will only get you engaged. When you grow up, then we will think about your marriage, Now just enjoy your childhood, forget all these things, just remember that in the future she will be your wife." Granny said while understanding.

"Ooh is it so but granny if I don't want to marry her in future. I like someone else's what can I do then." Aashu ask siriously.

"So don't marry then the person you like marry her . But if you don't like someone then marry Kriti, she is your friend. She can make you understand.ok ".

" Okay then but granny if Kriti does not want to get married then". Aashu said

" Hmm then you will have to stay close to Kriti from now on, she will have so many friends in future, you will have to work extra hard so that Kriti does not get attracted towards others". Dad said siriously looking aashu .

Listen to dad through aashu said "Ook ook, I will work very hard so that Kriti remains my best friend. "

Aashu's dad looked him and teased "that you have too will have to remain number one because girls like intelligent boys a lot. If you fail then I don't know whether Kriti will become the daughter-in-law of our house or not."

Aashu's mom also spoke while smiling "Yes Aashu, it is important to be smart. And looking handsome is even more important because if you are handsome then girl gets attracted quickly. But it does not mean that you become a scumbag, Love only one girl in your life whom you want to marry, ok baby. "
