Mona Darling

Mona was a girl of twenty years of age. Her father, mother, brother, and she formed a peaceful family. Where there is a will, there is a way. Mona was a graduate with ambitions. Her ambition was to be a self-sufficient woman in the future. So she was quite unwilling to marry so soon, despite the persuasion of her middle-class parents. Her father was a small farmer whose income was insufficient to fulfill her desire, as she wanted to be a doctor.

However, Mona couldn't lose heart and tried to earn money to support her ambition. Hence, she started tutoring some HSC students in her village. Simultaneously, she got admitted to medical college.

Years passed away . Mona completed her medical courses in gynecology and became a doctor. She opened a private clinic in her village. While treating her patients, her behavior was very cordial and soothing, so everyone liked her. Because a doctor is designated as God or Goddess in the Indian atmosphere, as a doctor's sweet words and confident touch take away half of the ailments of patients.

As rural people are somewhat more conservative compared to urban people, they usually make comments when an unmarried woman stays with her parents for a long time. The villagers of Hatapur persuaded Mona's parents to arrange her marriage. Mona's parents were very fond of their daughter. Though they were farmers, they had a polished temperament.

So they didn't want to go against Mona's will. They considered it better to take Mona's opinion regarding her marriage.

It was a moonlit Sunday night in summer. Mona was on a weekend leave as she was a government servant. Mona sat on their garden bench, as per her parents' advice, for a discussion.

They started the discussion while sipping tea. Ghana Babu, Mona's father, said, "Dear Mona, I have found a boy for you. I wish to fulfill my fatherly duty by arranging your marriage since you are now self-dependent. Do you agree?" After consuming her tea, Mona chuckled and said, "Yes, Papa, you are right. But why are you in such a hurry? Nowadays, girls are marrying late even though they are self-dependent." "I want a clear-cut reply, don't confuse me. Yes or No. Or are you in love with someone?" "Tell me frankly. I'll be happy. Because I am not a conservative or dogmatic father," Ghana Babu retorted. "Yes, Mona, you are a doctor now. Accept your father's advice. You are now 30 years old. Don't delay," Radha Devi, Mona's mom, confirmed her husband's advice to Mona.

Whatever may be our Indian society, it is full of extreme cordiality among all family members, which is an exceptional scenario, especially in lower-middle-class and higher-middle-class families. Mona checked for a while and started, "Yes, today I feel very happy that my parents are free and frank persons. They know my temperament. Yes, Father, yes, Mom, I have already given my heart to someone else while studying in college. He is a very pious young man. His profession is engineering. He is now posted as a Junior Engineer in PHD. His age is 35 years. But due to the irony of fate or God's doom, whatever may be, he is handicapped." "Oh, oh," Radha Devi interjected, "Since birth or by accident?" "By accident." "What's his name?" "Mithun." "Would you narrate the episode of the accident?"

Mona continued, "He was my senior college mate, two years senior to me. Through the exchange of course books, we also exchanged our hearts with each other. Eating, playing, and moving together were our hobbies. Everything was cordial; not carnal. Self-control was our ideal. Our free mixing and biking created jealousy among some of the aged hostel mates. They tried to harass us by hook or crook. As Mithun was healthy and strong, he opposed them. His father is an MLA, and his house was only two kilometers away from our college. One day, he was biking to college, and on the way, some hooligans attacked his right leg severely with an iron rod, which broke his leg bone. He was admitted to the hospital by a noble passerby, and treatment went on. After six months of hospital stay, he returned home. Still, he was under medication. But it was a sad fact that he could not walk without a crutch. He became lame. But now he is fit and able to walk without a crutch.

Every day, he came to our hostel. I had also been to his house and talked with his parents. Though he belongs to a wealthy family background, he is very modest and amiable. He is the only son of his parents. I love him immensely."

Every Odia family is always loyal to Lord Jagannathji. Every Odia has a lot of fellow feeling towards his or her cousins and kith and kin where money is not at all a criteria. Likewise, Mona's family and Mithun's family belonged to the equal quality holder's category, which was aloof. Though Mithun lost his free walking capacity, he was a bold and strong-minded young man, nevertheless. God favours the brave. By virtue of his positive conception Mithun was fully recovered and set himself as was before.They were set by Almighty to be united cordially forever, that nobody could deprive them of their human qualities.

Mona's parents were very happy to hear such clearance from Mona and thanked Lord Jagannathji showing their gratitude to Him. Without delay, Mona's father called a competent astrologer and fixed the date of marriage two months before the ceremony.

It is a general psychology of two young romantic lovers during their celibacy get enchanted while their guardians or parents cordially recommend their eternal & unconditional love, especially as per Indology and Indian culture. Mithun and Mona were ecstatic after being confirmed of their marriage. Since they were brought up in a moralistic and idealistic background, however, they were fully devoid of premarital sexual activities; rather they synchronized modern and ancient amorous temperaments. As a result, at their respective work fields and leisure, they were gossiping, biking together, exchanging mutual views, enjoying tiffin and lunch in a restaurant, sitting and playing badminton in the urban park, etc., freely. Notwithstanding such modernized practices were being done outside the native place to avoid backstairs gossip. While returning home, they followed antique disciplines. Mithun wore a dhoti panjabi and took meals squatting on the floor. On the contrary, Mona wore a Saree, saya, blouse instead of Salwar punjabi and also took her food squatting on the floor at home. If we say otherwise; easternized at home and westernized outside home.

Time and tide wait for none. The betrothal day came and was celebrated among all kith and kin. After a month's gap, the wedding ceremony was celebrated inside a Jagannathji Temple. All the participants enjoyed Mahaprasad on the courtyard of the temple very happily and blessed the couple. Moreover, Ghana babu and Gour babu, father of Mithun, arranged a non-veg feast at their respective residences to appease the peasantry of Hatapur and colleagues of Mithun.

Near about five thousand people tasted the recipes up to utmost satisfaction. Their humane affection mingled with blessings enlightened the auras of the couple, which were divine gifts for Mona & Mithun, the eternal young couple. By this way Ch

aturthi Karma (Fourth-night rituals) was performed. The sheer purpose of marriage is to bring forth a future descendant, wherefore physical union between a husband and a wife is highly inevitable. Those young men or women who never indulge themselves in premarital sex physically and mentally, get ample self-contentment while initially engaged on the bed at the fourth night after marriage. Thus, Dr. Mona and Executive Engineer Mithun got immense natural pleasures that night. Mona told Mithun, "Dear Love! your accident was a boon for me whereby I perhaps got a chance to be your better half as I take it positively." Mithun retorted, "OK darling tonight is our eternal conjugal bond which is approved by Lord Jagannath. I remember him as Lord Krishna who was making romance with Lady Radha which was really eternal love. His mercy He has reunited us in this birth with their Effulgences. Leave it now. Look at the timepiece that shows 01 O' Clock sharp. Come closer. Let our body be united and tied at present under our ancestral terrace with the flavored string of Eternal Embrace. Jai Radhekrisna."Mona was a girl of twenty years of age. Her father, mother, brother, and she formed a peaceful family. Where there is a will, there is a way. Mona was a graduate with ambitions.
