A turning point in life
Life is a journey. Its a fact. Everyone knows it. But there is a turning point in everyone's life. Whether one slips on this turning point or deals with it as per the circumstances depends on the individual. I had a big turning point in my life in April 2011. I met the guy i was supposed to spend my life with for the first time of my life. Lemme explain from the beginning.
It was 12 April 2011. The whole family of the prospective groom was supposed to come at my place to officially meet me. It was a tiring day but an exciting evening. Seeing him first was like a kind of shock. He was sitting on a sofa opposite me. Instead of saying Hi which was expected of me i did namaste. How stupid and nervous i could be i cant imagine. I sat on the sofa opposite him and tried to observe his family members discreetly. His father, mother, sisters all looked at me. Then his mother and sisters started asking questions of me which were expected of them. My aunt offered us to go in my parent's room and spend some time together. Though the rest followed i was nervous. I kept thinking O God! help me how should i manage this. When we were alone for time being. We talked like mature adults do. All the time my heart beating furiously making me aware that i was being nervous. I liked the guy. But it was all serious talk we had and i felt as if i know him. He is like an open book for me. I felt i could see a part of myself in him. It was a strange feeling. I thought i couldn't get a better guy than him if i get to marry him. Time passed. They left and the whole family crowded on me that what we were talking about for 1/2 hr which was too much time according to them to be given. I answered them and then we got busy clearing the place off.
At night i was talking to some people online and was trying to bury the constant ravaging thoughts of whats next? what if i am rejected since we didn't get a clear answer immediately. All these thoughts were dispelled at 11 P.M. that night when they called up to inform me that they agree on this union. It was a big relief but now i faced another problem which was how to accept a new person in my life. A strange feeling but acceptable at once. Lets see what happens on our engagement on 29th April.
