Episode 1
(In Garvita's Police Cabin)
Garvita is sitting on her chair, deep in thought, she has to meet a new prospect for marriage today.
This happens everytime she dresses up, she meets them, have a talk and then the rejection comes.
At this point, Garvita has somewhat started believing that she is meant to be alone.
Garvita Chaudhary
*stands up and grabs her service jeep's keys*
Garvita Chaudhary
(I am going to meet whoever the person is like this. In my uniform. In the raw, unfiltered way, if he can take it, then he is the one or if not, Mahadev knows what to do)
Vikram is getting ready in his military quarters, his mother's conservative mindset sometimes gets on his nerves so he has decided to live away from his parents.
Vikram Rana
Whenever I am on leave, the only thing I am doing is meeting different women
Vikram has started to resent these arranged meetings, each time, every rejection instills a piece of new insecurity in him.
At this point, he has started to believe that he is not the one to be married, to be the good husband a woman deserves.
Even if he does get married he believes that he will end up in divorce and why not? His uncertain deployments and absence from his partner's life will always take a dig at their relationship and that's a fact no one can deny.
Episode 2
(Garvita and Vikram are supposed to meet in a cafe near her police station, Vikram arrives a little before the decided time)
He is sitting in a rigid posture, just like the disciplined soldier he is.
After 10 minutes, Garvita walks inside, in her police uniform. Vikram spots her instantly and walks over to her.
Vikram Rana
Hi, Lieutenant Commander, Vikram Rana *he forwards his hand for a handshake*
Garvita Chaudhary
ACP Garvita Chaudhary *she shakes his hand*
They both look into each other's eyes for a while and then settle down at the table.
For the next few minutes, there is awkward silence, both of them looking here and there, sitting disciplined and rigid.
Vikram Rana
*clears his throat* We should talk i guess
Garvita Chaudhary
Yea, I mean that's why we are here, so tell me about yourself?
Vikram Rana
Let's start with the basics, something you might already know, I am a lieutenant commander in Navy.I am 32 years old and I am not sure what to add here to be honest
Garvita nod at him before she speaks
Garvita Chaudhary
I am an ACP, well it's pretty obvious (she says this while gesturing to her uniform)
Garvita Chaudhary
I am 30 years old and let's get straight to the point I guess, we are here for a marriage proposal so we might as well know about what we want in a Marriage.
Vikram relaxes at her words, he prefers straightforwardness as well.
Vikram Rana
I will be honest with you, I will always be a soldier first, and a husband later on, I would be away for long periods sometimes without communication
Vikram Rana
I will miss birthdays, anniversaries and what not, I might not even be able to hold you through any problems which might occur, I want someone who can understand that, someone who can stand by my side while I serve my nation.
Garvita stays silent, assessing his words, registering them to her mind.
Vikram Rana
What about you?
Garvita Chaudhary
See, I have been through these first talks before and through the rejections afterwards because no matter how the world has progressed, they still want women to serve hot and fresh meals even while working and I won't be able to do that.
Garvita Chaudhary
I will be working uncertain hours, sometimes days at once, holidays are rare occurrences for me too, You will be away and even when you come back I won't be standing at the door to welcome you, waiting with hot dinner served. I am serving duty, I won't be able to be the "traditional wife" or the "traditional bahu" and that's the fact.
They both stay silent for a while, thinking over each other's words.
Vikram Rana
I do have to tell you something even before you consider this proposal
Vikram Rana
My mother, she is conservative, and while I promise, if we say yes that is, that I won't let her demean you or our choices as a couple, but when I am not her, in the sense of deployment you will have to deal with her on your own.
Garvita Chaudhary
Will we be staying with your parents?
Vikram Rana
No. I myself do not live with them, pretty much not expected of an Indian son. But I want my life to be mine.
For the next few hours, they both practically discuss their marriage aspects.
Somewhere their strategic training taking over their talks, the emotional aspect getting lost and forgotten.
They both part ways at words of getting back to each other with a reply before they tell their families.
