I was sure that arrange marriages don't really mean life...they are infact a compromise to stand along with the society. And especially for them who never got a chance to prove to the society of their worth...
A way to go with the flow..meet, marry, produce! And the life goes on....Or the modern way of doing it is the specific time for the two species to fool around for some days and "get to know each other". When I started to go through such kind of experiences, I was convinced that people around me are trying to get me ready for meet, marry & produce!! ;-)
But this one.....changed my life forever! He stood out from day one..It began without us meeting. I was prepared to talk to him, like I gave all my interviews earlier! Confident that as it is, till now no relation has worked out..so why would this? So then there is no harm in chatting. I was wrong! Far across 379 Miles...someone was waiting to shake my beliefs! We connected, and re-connected. A different feeling altogether...don't know why, but this guy made me feel wanted! And we wished for more...
Time came soon when we had to decide upon our meeting. A sheer nervousness ran over my mind after a long time - What if he rejects? Had taken many before..but this one would pinch somewhere. And to find out the reason why it would pinch me...we landed in the city of cultural heritages - Indore! Well to be frank enough..within a visit of 2 days to this city famous for its constructions, the only building my mind could register was the rising turbulence in my head! All sorts of 'W' questions got registered, but my heart never bothered to answer even one!! With such kind of bearing...me along with my parents reached the destination!
After the higher authorities (parents) met and bonded...this guy walked inside the room! With every possible corner of my eye, i was trying to get a complete view of him. And he with all his might was trying to avoid my gaze. The turbulence increased ten folds when even after 2 hours the only word we had spoken directly to each other was "Hi"!! Time passed by and finally (and thankfully!!) we spent some time with each other that evening...His talks, his knowledge and his presence itself, mesmerised me to the extent that I was already in for the show..! I knew that moment what 'waiting for the right man' meant. That was the moment, I now realise, God wanted me to wait for always...
Now is the time when we aren't being able to stay away from each other for a few hours! But the distance takes us apart..May be this builds up our bonds, patience and tests the strength. Which eventually (I agree with you) will only increase our love! I now wait for the right moment in our lives, which will hold us together forever!
It is said that "A Successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person". I am sure you will make me fall in love with you 24*7....!!
