Wedding First Night

Wedding First Night 

 On the first night of marriage, we laughed for a long time after seeing each other, what have we done, but the worries behind those laughs were evident from both of our faces.  Since the marriage was done in haste and with the displeasure of the family members, I did not have the money.

 Borrowed from a friend, he gave him a light gold ring, which he returned by saying that I am aware of your circumstances, I am also aware of the circumstances in which you got married, so when you can give it yourself.  Will take!!

 I asked feeling a little embarrassed

 "Tell me!

 What is your greatest wish?  I will definitely accomplish that someday."

 He said after some Tamil

 "There are only two desires in life that I cry before God.

 One is your own house, even if it is very small, but it is your own and the other.

 "The second one?"

 "The other one is in front of me."

 We both looked at each other's faces and started smiling!!

 On the marriage of choice, a woman hears first from her family and later from her in-laws.  He came after burning all the boats, so he bit his tongue.  Now the next responsibility was mine.  I got a job in a call center in Lahore through a friend but I had never left my city so I needed some capital to move to an unknown city.  I got ten thousand from Abu, it was the ticket for next week.  At night, I was busy with calculations, so she came to me, she opened her tightly closed fist and held it in front of me.

Don't worry, I have money, you have it."

 "Dude don't lie to me, I know I don't"

 I became silent because I needed money.  She sat next to me and started explaining me like a master planner!!

 "I've thought of a plan"

 "What?"

 "Does your wheat come from the village?"

 "yes"

 "You do that, take the wheat of this money, you have to take it for the house too, you will get cheaper from the village. I have a friend, I have talked to her, I need her, you pick it up from here and give it there.  Giving will save some money."

 She was excitedly explaining a business plan to me.  I smiled at his innocence but the plan was not bad.

 The plan was successful, we kept this plan hidden from the family.  When I came home with the money, at night we were counting the money like little children, like children count after breaking the grain until they have a complete account.

 We got six thousand three hundred (6,300) profit at the rate of three and a half hundred per manna!!

 This was our first successful business.  I kept two thousand in his hand despite forbidding him, because in principle it was his earnings!!

 Next week I left him and went to Lahore.  Lahore was unknown to me.  He stayed at a friend's house for a few days, later when he had to find his own accommodation, the price of dal roti began to rise.  When calculating accommodation and monthly expenses, it was a little more than I thought.  I had an expectant wife behind me and I was finding it difficult to make ends meet on one salary.  I don't know if it was his love or a sense of responsibility, I decided to do something.  If he has left all his trust in me, he cannot let his trust be broken

I started looking for work near my call center.  By chance I got a job in a restaurant there!!

 It used to be that I was in the call center from 7 in the morning to 5 in the evening, from there I used to go to sleep and in the restaurant on the six night shift from 12 in the morning to 12 in the morning!!

 From there I used to get two meals which saved me a lot of money.  The salary of the call center was 15 thousand which became 25,26 after getting commission and the restaurant workers gave me 8 thousand.  I didn't tell the house about this extra work otherwise ___ (my wife) would never have let me do it!!

 When he went home after a month, twelve thousand were placed in his hand.  He counted them with twinkling eyes, then kissed them twice and with moist eyes put them in his briefcase.

 His happiness was the most beloved thing in the universe for me.

 I wanted to take him with me but my conditions there did not allow it, he also refused it himself, showing extreme tolerance!!

 It was his prayers or his sustenance, within two months I got a job in a firm.  Here my salary was 40 thousand which was more than my thought and needs!!  I already had the habit of hard work, so in my free time, I got a night shift job in a packing company.  This job was much better and cleaner than a restaurant and the pay was decent.  I did not tell him about this job, I will give him a surprise.  This time I went home after two months it was his birthday!!

 And in front of the family, we were extremely shy, we didn't tell them anything.  On the birthday, a small cake was distributed among 7 of us.  At night, when we were alone in the room, he held a box.  He looked at her upside down with joy and surprise and asked

 "What's in that...?"

 "See for yourself"

 "Oh! Well, I have some too."

 I asked in surprise

 "Really? What?"

 He took out a small box from his briefcase and handed it to me!!

 First he opened his box and then he let out a little cry of joy.  It was an Android smartphone.  She had a passion for photography and researching brands, which she occasionally fulfilled with friends' mobiles.  He quickly took it out, turned it on and said.

 "lets_take_a_selfie"

 And this was our first regular photo together.
