Sita married to a driver

By Lokanath Mishra

Mandira retired from the government service while she was serving in the post of Sepoy and after six months of her retirement,
Naresh retired from the post of Assistant Commissioner but would often receive visits from Mandira, who sought his guidance on pension benefits and personal matters. Mandira lived with her daughter Sita, who had lost her job during the Covid-19 pandemic but later found a new role in an IT company’s delivery section.

When Naresh’s daughter Mita got married, Naresh invited Mandira and Sita to the ceremony. Unfortunately, Sita couldn’t attend, but Mandira did. At the wedding, Mita asked Mandira about Sita, and Mandira replied, “She’s delivering a girl.” Mita and her friends exchanged knowing glances, aware of Mandira’s occasional linguistic mix-ups. Mandira quickly clarified that Sita worked in the delivery section of her IT company . A few days later, Mandira informed Naresh that she and Sita were moving to Hyderabad due to Sita’s job. Naresh lost touch with them after they relocated.

Years later, Naresh received a wedding invitation card from Mandira. Excited to reconnect, he called Mandira to congratulate her on Sita’s upcoming wedding. Mandira mentioned that Sita was marrying a driver. Naresh and his wife attended the wedding ceremony in Hyderabad, expecting to meet Sita’s driver groom. However, they were surprised to find that Sita’s fiancé was actually a pilot, not a driver. Mandira, still confused, kept referring to him as the “driver of the flight.” The guests couldn’t help but chuckle at the misunderstanding.

Despite the mix-up, the wedding ceremony was a joyous celebration of Sita and her pilot fiancé’s love. Naresh was happy to see Sita thriving in her new life, and he appreciated Mandira’s continued support and friendship.
As they left the ceremony, Naresh turned to his wife and whispered, “I think Mandira still needs a little more guidance on job titles!” His wife smiled and nodded in agreement, both of them sharing a lighthearted moment amidst the joy of the wedding celebration.
