Not by Choice The crack in my Sky

The crack in my Sky

Ishani and her family were having breakfast together in the diner area. They were having lighthearted conversation.

Akash/Fl dad

Ishani beta, I think it's time to start thinking about marriage don't you think?

Rani/Fl mom

Exactly, Akash. I've been trying to get her to consider it but she just won't. Your daughter only listens to you. Tell her.

Ishani/Fl

Paa, not you too. I'll get married only after becoming financially independent. And it was you who told me the importance of being independent.

Akash/Fl dad

I did. But you're 25 already. I believe this is the right time for marriage.

Ishani/Fl

It's not that easy Dad. I'm not mentally ready to get into that kind of commitment. I don't want to live a life like mom's. I don't wanna sacrifice everything until there's nothing left of me.

Rani/Fl mom

Your life won't be like mine. And maybe if I'd made the right decisions I wouldn't have been here. Your life will be different. Cause you are different. You're not me.

Ishani/Fl

I don't want to get married.

Akash/Fl dad

Do you love someone?

Ishani/Fl

Wha- that has nothing to do with any of this. But no.

Akash/Fl dad

Ishani beta. Everything has to be done in its time. Just trust your baba. I'll never push you down a pit hole. And you'll always have us. There's nothing to fear.

Ishani/Fl

You're not gonna listen to me anyways. Why bother creating an illusion as if I have a choice?

Rani/Fl mom

Ishani that's no way to take to your father!

Ishani gets up and leaves.
