Before proceeding further it is worthwhile here to mention about the two friends of Aparna, within whom she choose her prospective bridegroom . They were Ajay and Vimal . Ajay was her childhood buddy and her neighbour . She always felt at ease with Ajay and they had family relations as well. Ajay was a happy go lucky type young man , with ordinary disposition and family background . On the other hand Vimal was extremely handsome and a rich man . He was running his own business and had met Aparna two years back at friends party . Aparna had a crush over Vimal for his dashing personality and sober ettiquates .
While choosing between the two she felt the personality of Vimal more dominating and charismatic .
She could find all the qualities of good husband like love, commitment ,trust ,attention ,good communication including listening , partnership, tolerance , patience ,honesty, generosity and ability to compromise in Vimal. Therefore , she chose Vimal as her prospective husband .
Aparna confided to her parents about her decision and marriage of Aparna was solemnized with much fervour and gaiety . This left the life of Ajay much shattered as he was also in love with Aparna .
On the other hand Aparna enjoyed her married life in the company of her husband Vimal nicely . They enjoyed their honey moon at Switzerland . Vimal purchased expensive car for Aparna and took her to big hotels for eating purposes . They visited malls and enjoyed themselves while purchasing expensive clothes and gifts . After one year of their marriage Aparna delivered a baby girl which brought more joy in their life .
Only after few years of marriage , cracks started appearing in their relation .It all started on filmsy grounds but crossed greater heights within a shortest period of time as the same remained unattended .
One night Aparna was dead tired and she was fast asleep . In the midnight her daughter awoke and started crying . Vimal got disturbed by the cries of Baby and he too awoke . He started cursing his wife as he thought it was the duty of his wife to attend to the child . He had to attend a business meeting early in the morning next day . How can he attend his business tomarrow , if he can not sleep properly ?
He conceived that his wife was trying to skip her duty deliberately and feigning sleep . He awoke Aparna and reprimanded her for not looking after the baby properly as he was getting disturbed .
' But you could also have looked after the baby . You know i was dead tired yesterday ," replied Aparna
" It is your duty , and you should not escape it."
"It is the duty of both and I am not the exception "
They had a good quarrel over baby for the whole night and this small incident spread its tentacles to destroy their happy married life .
After this incident Vimal tried to compel Aparna to leave her job and attend her family chores properly . As already mentioned Aparna was a career conscience woman , she could not reconcile with the idea of her husband . Eventually there was a divorce between the two and Aparna had to leave her husband's house and join her parents along with her newly born daughter .
After few years of divorce , Aparna was promoted to a senior position and she purchased her own house with her savings and Bank loan . Now she started living in her own house along with her daughter and decided not to marry again. But her mother never reconciled with her idea and kept on pestering her for remarriage . Once Aparna's mother suggested her about Ajay, who was still unmarried .
" But mother How can I marry Ajay , i have already been deceived by the man, whom I once felt indispensable for me as per cue i took from your experiences ."
"You see Aparna! no body learns from others experiences . One learns from his own experiences only . Moreover, Vimal was not a bad guy either . It was his inbox approach to the problem at the material time that lead you to the trouble . Had he applied out of box approach to the problem that night by not waking you , but just helped the child again to sleep. There would have not been any problem at all . It was your impatience and impertinence also that added fuel to the fire."
"But I could not help that Mom , he was too conceited , " added Aparna .
"You see now Ajay has not married yet and still loves you . He is your childhood buddy . You know each other thoroughly well rather you have grown up together . What is wrong in considering him for marriage ?"
" But give me some time Mom , it is very difficult decision for me "
"Happy is the person who finds a true friend and far happier is he who finds that friend in his spouce . It is not lack of love but lack of friendship that is the cause of unhappy marriages," ! exclaimed Aparna's Mother.
After some time Aprana decided to marry Ajay and later also happily agreed to the proposal .
