ARRANGED LOVE...

9 months later...


It was 10 a.m in the morning , she brushed her long hair and tied it up with a band standing infront of the mirror. Checking out repeatedly if the kurta suited her pants. 

" Do I look fat in these??", she thought to herself.

 It seemed she was perplexed about the day as she had never thought of just going straight to meet someone with the perspective of marriage that too someone unknown to her. The idea of arranged marriage was always obsolete to her. She never thought of going across matches unfamiliar to her or her family. Still, as that was her mom's repeated requests and her dad's undaunted concern of getting her married , made her finally to agree to their urge to go and meet a guy whom her parents fixed up for her.
She didn't want to go through her regular makeup, rather tried staying with a straight pony and a lip-gloss so as to  look disinterested  already at the proposal.

As she sipped her last drop of coffee in mug , her phone began to ring with the name " BHAI" flashing on it , which she picked up running to her bed. 

" Hey di, all set?" inquired his younger brother on the other side

" How can I be , when you know its already hard to put up with your parents who are just eager to get their so called 26 yr old ' getting older' daughter , and now this stupid thing to go and meet a random guy so as to stay with him forever", she blabbered  pauselessly.

"Ha ha ha , chill di. Why are you so tensed. Who said you have to live with any random guy for your entire life? Besides, you know na our parents are never stubborn with us. You can simply not go!". He said to pacify her and added, " I can handle them, you just dont worry".

"Naah. Its fine I cant let them down every time. Lets see. I am gonna go n simply come n say I didnt like the guy, simple that would be. " She chuckled and added " who knows if he's gonna reject me " . 

Both siblings laughed out loud on either sides of phone. 

"I know arranged was not your type ever. Anyways, Go, its already time." his brother said.

"Yeah. gtg, Bye." she replied as she picked up her car keys, put up her shoes and locked her apartment.

 "Call me when you reach out!" he said and put the call off.

As she sat in the car and drove past the road she smirked at the thought of  how slowly, by the time she had started to believe in the frame of society and was driving to  meet any random person just so as to agree to her parents decision while somewhere within, she too had thought of finally settling herself with an arranged love or so in terms. 
But deep within she too knew ,trusting a whole new different man will be tougher than before.

SHE TYPED HELLO..

Image
Midnight past 1:30 a.m. The room was filled with silence and she did change her sides on bed, thinking about the upcoming chores. Woke up to half sitting posture, she took her phone in hand owing to get the notification light blinking off. She dozed through her screen scrolling notifications down and then further down. Stopped past her messenger notification, she smiled and swiftly sprung back to her head down to the pillow, to sleep getting covered with her another pillow in between her arms. After few of the time she got into to reply to the unreplied message of him. "HELLO..!" she typed after tussling with her long ascertained feelings.The soon as the message as got dropped, swift reply did came from his side. "HEY BEAUTIFUL...GOT YOU AFTER LONG!", with a playful smiley. She smiled and reciprocated the sense of playfulness with, "INDEED.. YOU MIGHT BE BUSY AFTER ALL." she replied with same smiley. "OH.. COM'ON YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN A...

TODAY IT'S ABOUT YOU

Dear MOMMY! Its true that god can't be everywhere so he gave us mom to stay by us and guide us through our good and bad days. Yes, it's also true that when you have been compared to god, you are never less than him, as none is capable of letting a piece of their flesh or a drop of their blood for anyone else as you have done to get us in this world. That too with utter patience and at same time with anxiety of waiting for 10 months, which is not as easy as the words i just penned down! The whole life of yours had me, but today its not about me. Today, its about you.  Thank you for the blood and bones I am made up of today, but you know what! I am much more grateful to the values and the teachings of yours about the life, the people, the world and most importantly, you. Its true that you have recited ample preaching of gods, told many tales of braves and worldly heroes, but I don't remember hearing the story of the hero of my life- which is you, maa. I remember th...

IT'S OKAY NOT TO END UP WITH YOUR LOVE!

Image
It is said "Pairs are made in heaven", well ofcourse when we choose one among the billions of heart to love , then surely our soul mate is that one soul only, whom we term as our 'love of life' . When the one, we take as our only person in life holds our hand our heart paces and hormones cling us high & likewise when he hurts us we go lost in deep down depths of our agonies and heartbreak. As we take them as our permanent soulmates, we usher our unstinted love upon them and fathom our trust in them. As time goes by, we feel our bond is going strong and nothing would let us apart from each other, while certain mishaps break us down & tear us apart distant away from each other.  Suddenly, the feeling of love abrupts and nomore things get right between the broken ones. The happiness and feeling of being complete with each other, certainly changes to being not right for each other. The decision of moments shatters down the long bond of love and togetherness...
