Let’s Start the Journey on This New Year

Malini is the only child to her parents. She is a Graduate from one of America’s top universities. Her parents have brought her up with lots of freedom and open thinking. Her mind is filled with liberty and independence. In short, she is an open-minded, modern teenager who has cherished a dream of her prince charming in the core of her heart. Malini never wanted to be married to a man whom she had never seen or talked to. She hated joined families, conservative people and she hated to be married in India, as she thought residing in India and living in a joined family would snatch her freedom.

When she came to know that her parents have chosen a boy from India for her, she rejected the proposal, but keeping her father’s severe illness into mind, she gave her consent for this marriage. But she was still unsure of her future family, her future husband; if at least he would believe in modern lifestyle, late night parties or even permit her to wear whatever she wants or she might be confined into sarees. Her night passed sleepless.

Few weeks later, a day before New Year....

Malini and Rajeev are heading towards the airport. They are going to Goa for honeymoon. It has been just five days since their wedding. Malini is still doubtful. But she is somewhat feeling good that Rajeev has chosen Goa to spend their honeymoon. Suddenly Rajeev stops the car and tells Malini to wait for a few minutes, Malini sees Rajeev heading towards the Shoppers Stop outlet situated there. She moves her eyes away from him and turns on the music player.

Same day, evening....

Malini freshens up herself and when she comes out from the bathroom but can’t find Rajeev in the room. She looks at the bed and there was a Shoppers Stop shopping bag and a letter. She opens the letter and reads it loud-

"How you like the surprise Jaan? I was planning it for years; I have cherished my dream girl’s happiness in my heart for years, now I know it’s you. I know you’re struggling every moment to fit into this strange environment, but let me promise you something, I will never make you feel lonely here, I will never try to change you, I have loved you with each and every trait, and I will do whatever it takes to make you happy and comfortable. Check out what I've picked from you from Shoppers Stop and come to the lawn wearing them, I've arranged a candle-lit dinner for you. Your friends are on the way to join us. Don't worry I haven't shopped for Sarees, I want my lady to be the most bold and stylish lady in this planet! Don’t wear the ring, leave that duty for me. Let’s start our journey from this New Year. I Love You."
