Vandita knew very well that sooner or later she would have to face the question. The question of her choice, her decision. It was time for her to choose between going back and moving forward.
The law had put a bann on child marriage, but, did the bearers or the law ever wondered about the consequences?
What about those hundreds of young girls who were already married?
Where will they go without their husband's name?
Will the society ever accept them without their marital nametags?
Vandita always wondered about these questions in solitary. Awnirudh in his first letter had written that she no longer was his wife as their marriage has been legally put on hold. And, now that she was 18, it was hers to decide whether she would like to resume the marriage or break free. Although she was grateful to Awnirudh for giving her this choice, but secretly, she wondered what Awnirudh's choices would be.
Kakababu's question made Vandita rethink these old thoughts untill he mentioned London.
