Small Story 171.: A Surprising Twist: Anand’s Discovery of Uncle Pramod’s Secret Wedding Anand arrived at Uncle Pramod’s house, greeted warmly by his uncle. "Hey, how are you? How's Mum?" Pramod asked. "Fine, Pramod. How are you?" Anand replied. "Any good news?" Anand asked curiously. Pramod raised an eyebrow. "What good news?" he whispered, his tone shifting. Despite being three years older than Anand, Pramod was still single according to the family’s expectations. Suddenly, Pramod’s phone rang, and he answered. "How are you, Vaishali? Your friend's wedding went well?" he asked. "Yes, I’ll be arriving there on an evening flight today," Vaishali replied. The call ended quickly. Anand was curious about who Vaishali was. Sensing his curiosity, Pramod motioned for Anand to sit on the sofa and began to explain. "Vaishali is your aunt. I married her one week ago, but I didn’t tell the family. I had met her a few years ago, and she too... fifteen days ago, with her parents’ approval, we decided to marry." Anand was shocked. "Good news, but why didn't you tell anyone?" Pramod hesitated before continuing. "The reason is that Vaishali is five years older than me, and we both really like each other. If I told the family, they would laugh at the age difference. I’ve been seeing girls since I was 26, and up until 31, I couldn’t find the right one. But this... this is God’s will, Anand. Don’t worry." Anand smiled, reassured. "Promod, I will support you with the rest of the family. Many legends have married older partners, and what truly matters is the connection. I’m happy for you, and I’m confident the family will understand." After a few minutes, Anand left with a renewed confidence, knowing he could help convince the family about Pramod’s newfound happiness. K.Ragavan 1-3-25 .
