Continues
from the last post –
Seema
looks nervous and does not say anything but the question is repeated
by Mahesh in a friendly manner. Father is looking alternatively to
these people, not knowing what is next. He appears to be confirming
about making his only daughter, a doctor!
After
some coaxing; she nods negatively and tries to move out of the room
but Tanya was holding on her, not allowing her to move. “Please do
not get panicky, they are just asking, you need not bother, my
brother is there with you”; Tanya whispers sweetly to give Seema
some moral support.
“See
uncle, Seema doe not want to be a doctor”! Vibha returns nervously,
a little afraid of his reaction.
Seema’s
father with no reaction on his face grimly exclaims, “Then what she
wants to be”?
“Hay,
Seema, now tell what you want to be”? Everybody in the room
enquires to Seema mutely by just wide eyes.
Seema
softly suggests, “Architect”!
“What
is that”? Inquires her father, he appears to be perplexed.
“That
is an art, and an Architect designs building and cities”. Mahesh
answers the query quietly.
“Oh…
is that any worth? I want my daughter to fulfill my wishes and if she
does not then on whom I can rely for that”? Father mumbles
impatiently.
On
that, Vibha asks to Sema's father, “Uncle,
have you ever bothered to know what she wants to be”? Vibha asks
sternly but her sharp voice disturbs Arun so much that he signs her
to be more polite. Seeing that, Vibha controls her tone, biting her
tongue and wide eyes! Seema's father looked unconcerned about Vibha's
style of speech.
“What
you young people talk is not my piece of cake. During my days to be,
a doctor was the only respectable thing and so I wanted to be one but
my condition and talent did not allow me to achieve it. Therefore, I
desire that my only daughter will fulfill this humble desire and make
us all very proud. Please try to understand my and my wife’s
intentions. I know, you young people come with every new idea but we
older people you must try to understand”. Father blurts out
impatiently.
“Uncle
we appreciate your desire and also respect it but as you said that
you lacked the talent to be a doctor; if Seema has some point in
favor of her desire, why not listen to it”? Mahesh pleads in a
friendly manner.
Seema’s
father looks to his daughter and mutely by signing his eyes asks her,
her point.
“I
am afraid of blood and they cut dead bodies and do many such things
and I will not be able to stand all those things; while in
Architects, there are no such things and I am very good in drawing. I
know architects do get good jobs these days, my friend Urmi’s
father is an Architect, he builds very big houses and makes a lot of
money, Urmi is also going to be one and so we decided that I do
that”! Seema completes her argument in one force.
“She
is not good with blood sight and so she may not do well. Moreover,
she has just begun to do good in her studies and her mindset is very
sensitive so uncle, it will be good if you could think about it”.
Mahesh says politely.
Looking
to Seema her father asks, “That Urmi? Yashwant’s daughter? Is it
so? I did not know Yashwant is an Architect! He is quite well off”!
On
those pleas, Seema nods briskly and looks straight in his eyes with a
smile of approval.
