The Wedding

My cousin Rahul got married last Sunday. He married a Marwari girl and the ceremony was held in the largest hall of the town. Rahul's aunt i.e. my mother went to the marriage quite late. She was wanting his wife to be as shrewd as Rahul's mother. That lady used to torture her mother-in-law i.e. my grandmother badly and even used to threaten her with doing 498 Law.
After the marriage was over, they went to Kerala for honeymoon, and there Rahul discovered that his wife could never become a mother. Rahul became very depressed and called his brother-in-law Sanjib who said that he will give Rahul more seven lakhs than the amount decided as dowry. Rahul became quiet and then told Sanjib that he will divorced his wife. Just while he was coming back to the hotel, a car came and thrashed him. His wife Nikita who could never be a mother took him to the hospital.

Today, Rahul is happy with the marriage and has accepted Nikita as she is. The wedding about which every one had doubts is a success today.
