Ashi had to go to Pizza Hut to have lunch with Khadija, her cousin. She wanted to tell something to her and Ashi wondered what that thing could be. She drove to the Pizza Hut in Nahda Sharjah and went inside the restaurant. Her cousin was already there patiently waiting for her and she went and sat next to her.
“Asslam alaikum Ashi baji.”
“Wa alaikum us salam Khadija. What is it that you wanted to speak to me about?”
“Well I wanted to tell you that I am falling in love.”
“What?”
“Yes and that also with a 28 year old guy.”
“Khadija you know this is stupidity.”
“I know but this guy, I cant explain it, its like there is an attraction, like an instant spark that was meant to be there between us you know.”
“How did you meet him?”
“That is the problem I have not met him yet, I talked to him on gupshup.”
“Gupshup?”
“Ya it’s a forum, great forum made many friends there.”
“Your kidding me right? You have not met this guy, all you have done is talk with him in an online forum and you think you are in love?”
“Ashi baji I am sorry but there is something about him, we have exchanged a lot of pms as well”
“pms? What are pms?”
“private messages”
“oh, but seriously Khadija even if this is love, this cant happen! You are 17 and he is what 28?”
“Ashi baji is there no solution to this problem?”
“Cousin, try to understand, you are a teenager and he is a grown man! You still have to do a lot of studying and have to learn a lot of things, before you get to pyaar vyaar!”
“But you are 18 and are engaged, but studying. Can’t I at least fall in love?”
“Khadija my circumstances are different then yours, I didn’t meet Rizwan in some online forum and thought that I was in love with him, I actually met him and when I saw him for the first time at school in psychology class I knew this was love, his blue eyes were tempting me…”
“Ok then I think I got your point, you mean to say I should meet him as soon as possible?”
“No I don’t mean to say that, what I am saying is that there is no point in pursuing it any further, luck is not on your side!”
“What do you mean?”
“First of all your father does not approve of these cha tting sites right?”
“But gupshup is not a cha tting site! it’s a forum!”
“Same thing, secondly you belong to a conservative family and we believe in arranged marriages.”
“Then how come you got engaged to your lov er?”
“He was not my lov er! Do you even know what that means? Anyways he told his parents about me and they brought rishta to our house and everything happened properly. It is not like I have elo ped with him or something or done something that goes against my values and morals or done something to upset my family.”
“Well you are right about that, anything else?”
“Yes another thing, look Khadija no matter what but the age factor is there. I am sure your dad wont want you to marry someone right after you finish high school right? When you will finish your BBA you will be what 22 and he will be 33! That’s 11 years of difference there!”
“But Ashi baji Komal baji is 23 and she got married when she was 22 and her husband was 31.”
“Yes you have a point there but you know what still there is something valid in their age difference”
“What’s that?”
“At least they had an arranged marriage, their engagement lasted for 5 years! Poor Komal was waiting for Shameel bhai to get settled into his business, so what if there is a big gap in their ages, at least she is safe and secure because her husband can support her.”
“Yes I guess you are right”
“Khadija I am not saying that your husband should be your age or a bit older than you because then its bad, he should be older to you so when you marry someone he is already settled into a job and can provide for you. I know there are people who marry with 10 years gap, heck my own parents did it but there was a reason for it. Can this guy that you have met on the net support you for the rest of your life? Can he send your kids to good schools and colleges? What does this guy do anyways?”
“Well he is a clerk at a showroom”
“Ahan…and dear what is his education background?”
“Well he has done metric”
“Only metric? I thought so, now a days people are looking for employees who have done at least Bachelors. How will this guy support you for the rest of your life with a clerk job?”
“Ashi baji! he can find other jobs…”
“Khadija believe me there is no future for you with him! What is his name by the way?”
“Its Amir Choudhry”
“Look Khadija promise me that you will not meet him and will stop talking to him because it is not good! Promise?”
“Ok I will try, but at least go to this website and see what it is all about and check on him”
“Ok give me the website address I will go there and see it myself. And also tell me your user name and his user name”
“My user name is pinkroses and his user name is mr_chamir; the website is http://www.paklinks.com”
“Ok I will visit this site, but I hope you understand that you have to stop this thing with him”
“yes I understand, now can we eat”
Ashi wrote the website on her hand and then they had their pizzas that they had ordered. She went home and switched her internet on. Ashi typed the address and waited for the page to load up. Once the green and white combination page was in front of her she browsed through the site and actually liked it. The audio section had all the songs that she wanted to download and the image gallery was fun to browse. The best thing about this site was the Café section. It’s threads and people had caught her attention and she had an urge to start posting right away but she realized only registered users could post. On the index she saw a link called register. She clicked on it and was taken to a page which stated the rules, she clicked the box to agree and then clicked on next. A page came up with a form in which she had to put her details and she filled it but was stuck at the username section. She couldn’t think of anything so she thought that her real name was Aisha and she was living in Dubai so she first wrote in aishalivingindubai but thought that this was a bit too long and then an idea came to her. She removed the living part from the username and it now said Aishaindubai and she actually liked how it sounded. She thought it was quite catchy and decided to go ahead with it. She went through all the steps and after three days on September 8 2006 she started posting on gupshup!
By and by as the time went she became so addicted to it that when 2007 began she was the one with the most posts in a year and that post count is still increasing and last Ashi checked it was somewhere near 19000J
As for what happened to Khadija she actually didn’t listen to what Ashi had to say and later because of this Ashi became a shoulder to cry on for Khadija when she found out that the guy was already involved with someone and was about to leave the country and get mar ried. One thing Khadija was right about, gupshup did turn out to be a great site and Ashi did manage to find so many pretty good friends like Angeloftruth, K337, Bulbuli and others. One thing gupshup didn’t turn out to be for Khadija!, Gupshup didn’t turn out to be shaadi.com!!!
POOR GAL!!! Like I always think GUPSHUP IS NOT SHAADI.COM!!!
AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS UNDEKHA PYAAR:clown:
