No. It is just not my intention to get married. Not now or ever.

You just haven't found the right person yet.
Unbeknownst to everyone, he held a deep secret, and he swore to take it to the grave.
Never again will he ever reveal it to anyone.
Dema
Would you like me to introduce you to my friend? She is right there and like you, she never had a boyfriend.
Dema
There she is, Pema? Come here please.
Pema
Yes, do you need anything?
Dema
I wanted to introduce you guys. This is Rigsel. He is a doctor and She is Pema. A teacher in junior high school.
Pema
Hi. Nice to meet you. (uh. This girl again. She always wants me to meet new guys. )
Dema
You two can talk for a while. Don't you both like to draw and paint 🎨?
Dawa
Yeah. Let's go meet with other friends and family.
friend 1.
We will leave you to accompany each other then.

After a moment of silence
Rigsel
Don't mind my friends, they are more anxious about me than myself. About my relationship
Pema
Haha.. Me too. After I reached 30s my parents and friends were looking at me with lasers eyes and trying to fix me up with any guy.
Rigsel
I really don't want to be married. I hope they understand.
Pema
Yes. Well I appreciate their thoughts but it takes time I guess.
Pema
I don't want to have a relationship either.
Pema
We really have something in common then. 😂
Rigsel
yeah. Funny enough 😁
Pema
When did you learn to draw? I have just recently started to draw.
Rigsel
Well, I have been drawing for about 12 years now but it hasn't progressed at all.
Pema
Wow.. You don't have to be modest.
Rigsel
No. no. Here you go.
shows the photo from his phone.
Rigsel
Speechless, aren't you?
Pema
Mm. How was it possible to still be at this level ?
Rigsel
Well, I just don't have the talent and as much as I love to draw. my drawing pales in comparison to my passion for drawing.
Pema
I got to go. See you around
Looks around and walks towards his friends
friend 2
How was your conversation?
friend 2
What do you think about her?
Dawa
I think they got along well seeing them laughing earlier.
friend 1.
She is pretty nice.
Rigsel
The conversation was nice. And she is a nice woman but don't get any weird ideas about us or try to match us up.
friend 1.
Yeah right. Let's not force them.
Dawa
Okay. Fine. Friends may soon become lovers.
The wedding ended at they all spent the night at the hotel booked by the couple.
Admist the laughter and joyous occasion Rigsel was absent minded and often lost in thoughts when it was close to 12 in the evening.
And the next day was his birthday alarming him that he is soon turning 40.
Rigsel
(sighs) I am turning 40 now.
2. mom!
Rigsel
Good morning everyone
friend 1.
Good morning Rigsel
friend 2
Why don't you have a hangover? I don't understand.
friend 2
You didn't drink last night, did you? ( suspicious glare)
Rigsel
Nah .. I had a bottle.
friend 1.
A bottle. Look, he is clearly getting older. Look at him controlling his drinking.
Rigsel
(brushes it off. ) Guys, let's have breakfast.
friend 2
(groans) Uhh...my head is paining.
Rigsel
Have this tea and come over for hangover soup. That's why you should not drink too much.
friend 2
Wait a minute, I will go and freshen up.
friend 1.
This guy... Sure his wife will be furious now.
friend 1.
He wouldn't stop drinking at all. I am not going to be responsible. She annoys me all the time.
Rigsel
Even Though she is my sister, I cannot handle her. Let him explain himself.
Last night all the men slept in one room and the female in the other room.
That is why some people had the courage to drink while some had the time to play games.
Rada is the younger sister of Rigsel and had gotten married last year.
It was quite shocking news to the group of friends but relief to their parents.
Rada
