The story revolves around a conversation between the narrator and her friend Nita, who is worried about her daughter Angha. Angha is 28 years old and has expressed her intention to marry only for love, not through an arranged marriage. Nita feels stressed as Angha is not interested in looking for a partner, and Nita fears that waiting for the "perfect" love might lead to difficulties in finding a suitable match later. Nita’s concerns reflect the generational divide in views on marriage. While Angha believes in the importance of knowing her partner well before committing, Nita worries that this approach might hinder Angha's chances of finding love, especially as she ages. The narrator tries to support Nita by highlighting the practical aspects of love and marriage, emphasizing that love cannot be forced and that sometimes traditional arranged marriages might be beneficial under parental guidance. The story discusses the complexities of love and arranged marriages, acknowledging that while love should be natural and mutual, the realities of life may require a more pragmatic approach to finding a life partner. It also touches on the potential pitfalls of rushing into love without fully understanding the other person’s background, values, and circumstances. Ultimately, it suggests a balanced view of love and marriage, recognizing the importance of both personal choice and familial support.
