This day two years back, he agreed to make her his; he
agreed to breathe along with her every moment. Even today she relives some of
those moments, when the good news was greeted with a mixed bag of emotions. It was
almost as if a universe of tears had broken one of their walls and decided to
drain out everything that morning.
It was his birthday the day before. His mother had given him
the ultimatum on giving his verdict. She said you cannot hold people up as you
wished. After much thought and deliberation, he finally nodded in the
affirmative. His mother called her parents and told them that the matter could
be taken ahead. As drums rolled in their minds, a different tune played when
she heard from them. All heavens broke loose. Yes, but seemed like all hell broke
loose! Her vulnerable mind had endured a lot by then. She couldn’t believe what
she had heard. She had given up on thoughts of partnership. She cried and cried
uncontrollably. Finally all the tough face and strong demeanor gave in. She couldn’t
console herself to stop. Thankfully her parents understood and let her pour
herself out, albeit both were on opposite ends of the phone line, some miles
away.
But that morning and eventually in the day, she came to
terms to believing that – that was the reality, though it took her several
hours to let the truth knock her down in bundles of happiness to feel light and
on cloud nine.. to fly like a relieved spirit.. she was finally going to be
someone’s best friend.. or so she was hoping back then. Atleast she saw a
potential prospect. She had seen a lot of bad times to think of anything worse.
So in a sense, she was prepared to face it. Or maybe she had become numb! But that
was then….

Today…now, it is the present – a gift from the heavens! He
keeps her happy and makes her smile and laugh. Yes, he does get on her nerves at times, but isn’t that life!
Today, she is happy for the news that came 730 days back. Today, she is happy to
be living the reality, where most of her fears have been put to rest. Thank you
Lord Almighty, for the wonderful grace that You have bestowed on me! When I hear
of all kinds in the world, I feel doubly blessed! Please let it be like this
forever and let it get better with every passing day.. until my last breath!
Many many thanks!
