Huge
temple is shown... inside that temple two people are getting married
among their family members... Bride sat quietly, numbly staring at
the flame... she close her eyes recalling how she landed into this
mess...
Two
Months Ago,
I went to my friend's wedding. In her wedding I dance on a song. Many
people loved my performance. I felt so happy and gratitude. I mingled
in with everyone who appreciated my performance...

Next
day, during the wedding ceremony, my mother introduce me to her best
friend Priyanka... I gave her pleasant smile. She was attending
the wedding from the groom side...afterwards I got busy in the
wedding that I didn't realize my each action caught one set of
eyes...admiring me.
Later
in the evening, during the reception party, me and my friends tease
the newly wedded couple... slowly evening came to end with dinner,
photographing with the married couples and dancing to heat.
Next
day, I was planning to leave for home with my family so we started to
pack when my Mom's friend came to meet us. She invited us for dinner.
I saw my Mom's happiness reflecting in her eyes and wanting to spend
some time together. So now its decided that we'll spend the night
over at my Mom's friend's place and leave next day.
During
the stay over at my Mom's friend's place, her friend was trying to
know my personalty. I answered each questions honestly without any
fear. After dinner, we settle down in the garden, it felt nicely
admiring the waterfall in their garden. I was enjoying myself, when I
heard my name taken by my Mom's friend. I listen carefully to their
talks and came to know that she asked for my hand in marriage for her
son.
I
was stun! I look at my parents inquirer about their son. She told my
family that her son is in the army, also he's a Captain and posted in
Ambala. I felt emotionally wrecked, when I saw sudden glimpse of
happiness reflecting in my parents' eyes. I released huge amount of
breathe and praying to god that my parents' decline the offer or
state that they can't decide anything without asking my brother...
Naveen Singh Ahluwalia... he's also a Captain, but unfortunately I
don't know where he's posted, but right now I am missing him the
most.
I
heard my father accepting the alliance. I close my eyes, hoping its
bad dream, but realty is bitter. My entire night pass by tossing and
twisting.
Next
day, during breakfast, I came down and greeted everyone with tiny
smile. I wasn't smiling from my heart. My mother's gesture me to
touch her friend's feet and her husband's feet. I smile at them
slightly, before touching their feet. My Mom's friend Priyanka bless
me and hug me tightly. She whispered in my ears "I'll be waiting
for your answer and Beta if you don't want this alliance than its
okay. It will never effect my friendship with your mother. I love you
as my daughter and I want my daughter to be happy as well" my eyes
wide up. I felt relax hearing Priyanka Auntie.
Later in the evening, our bus halts in our hometown. My
family came down last. We grab our belongings and left for home in
taxi. Once we reached home, we settle in our own room and retire for
the night. I came inside my room, I took nice relaxing shower, once I
completed my shower I look outside my window, wrapped in my towel. I
felt breezy air touching my skin. It felt great. I close my eyes
recalling yesterday and today's event. I thought about the alliance
and sighed inwards knowing my parents' desire. Honestly, I am
clueless about my future. I can't decide anything without discussing
with my brother or meeting the person who's alliance came for me.

Be Continued...
