Still Single !!!!!

Few days back, my family got an opportunity to assemble together on the occasion of marriage ceremony of my elder sister. I joined little bit late since I had to attend the party at the cost of my classes. I met my Buas and few of my Aunts rite after class VI. They exclaimed - "Rahul beta, you have grown so much !!! ". My mom replied - " Haan-Haan, ab to isi ka number hai...start searching for a girl". At the gathering, generally I prefer being silent. But this time, my smile was screaming. I was overjoyed to know that its my turn now!!!  My aunt said- " khojna kya hai.. he must be having a girl-friend at the college, Kyun beta? ". I replied - "No-no, I am still single". Everyone started laughing. I saw each and every face at that moment. The sense of proud could be felt from my mom's laughter but when I looked at other faces - It appeared as if they were laughing at me !!! After sometime, I was meeting my grandpa's friend. As per my memory, I was meeting him for the first time.My grandpa introduced me to him and passed few words of praise for me.In turn,the man replied - "Arre, tab to ek achchi si ladki dekhni hogi iske liye".It was very difficult for me to bring my excitation level down but somehow I managed it. Again the man asked me - "Ladki nahi na ghumate ho college me? " I replied in negative. He started smiling and when I saw his face, it seemed as if he was laughing at me !!! 

                Last week, I had gone a temple along with my friend after the end of our final semester exams. There were already long queues there and I had no choice. Later, I came to know that couples (no matter - engaged or not) were being given precedence over single ones. I saw my friend and he was laughing at me. By the way, after sometime, when it was the turn for single ones to move inside the temple, I started following my friend.But unfortunately, just after his entry,the priest stopped me. I asked angrily - "Kya hua? " and he questioned - " Are you single? ". It was an extreme. Then also, somehow I controlled my emotions and replied - "yes, I am single". I didn't want to see his (smiling)face. I entered into the temple straightaway and got darshan of Goddess. Her face was also smiling but I hope - She wouldn't have heard our conversation......
