Innocent To Bold [On Hold]

Shivani

I'm a girl who love rains, love to dance in my closed room though I had learned dance since I was five years old but because of shyness or my introvert nature I left to perform in public. I love to paint, another hidden talent of mine or you can say my escape from my world of book's. FYI my room is beautifully decorated with my canvas and paintings. Whoever come to my room for the first time they never left my room without complementing my skills.

At this age living married is easier than unmarried. Yes, you heard it right. Every person in the society ask when will I get married whenever they see me especially aunties? Some didn't ask, they directly come with proposal of their very eligible nephews or their long-distance relatives.

Mom also thinks that it's time to get married or taking proposals seriously. Dad is like "Don't worry even if you can't able to find your right one now. The one who is in your fate will come to you no matter what."

"Vani, Aunt Meera from 110 was talking about her nephew who is an engineer in Dubai. She told that her sister is searching for a girl for her son. So, Meera thinks you are perfect for him."

"Mom, I don't know. I really don't know who is perfect for me. So, it's up to you and dad." After my relationship in college which lasted for 3 long years, I don't really know who is the one for me. Because I thought Vivek was the one who loved me, cared for me. But he changed when we both went to different university. Later I realised I was like a college time passed one for him, because he made a new girlfriend from his uni. How fast, right?

I was no one to him. The three years doesn't matter to him anymore. It seems I was just a college fling to him. It wasn't like he was a player but after seeing his Instagram post (kissing his gf on the lip in Goa beach) it made me realise that I was a boring person with no fun who doesn't give her bf a real kiss in those three years. If you're thinking I'm stalking him on social media than you're wrong. Actually, we haven't unfollowed each other on Instagram or Fb.

I start to think that in a relationship physical intimacy is much needed to keep the relationship alive. And I didn't do that.

Well you can call me whatever you want but I can't just sleep with a guy not knowing what will happen in the next. It isn't confirmed that I'll end up with him for forever. If you call me or give me a tag of typical traditional girl from India, I'm totally fine with it. Because I want to save my pureness for my one and only, with whom I would spend my whole life with and grow old.

"So, let's invite them then." It's been four long years since we broke up. I moved on from Vivek long ago. I have to marry someone one day. So, why not starting to hunt my perfect one, right?

"Ok. Do I have to wear saree in front of them?"

"Just wear salwar suit, I know you hate to wear saree because you haven't tried it yet. But once you wear it, you'll love it sweety."

"I'll keep it in my mind mom."

I'm frustrated. On myself. What wrong will happen if I marry Aleia? But no. Religion has to come in between. And It costs our relationship. We hope to ended it very cordially. But Aleia's mom said something about my country that blown my head and I couldn't control myself from saying disgusting words to her.

I know it's not me. I never said anything bad to anyone, but when it comes to my land my country my people, I can't resist myself. And guess what! it ended very badly between me and Aleia.

Thank God she isn't from my office or I don't know how I'll face her every day. It's because, her face reminds me of her mom now. Her exact word "filthy Indian".

Now coming to my mom, she is our dearest, sweetest. But she can be very fierce when we don't listen to her.

Naina di don't have to worry about it anymore because she is married now but me. Imagine what happens to me.
Since she has known my relationship with Aleia she isn't leaving me to live in peace.

One thing in repeat, "Your aunt has a very sweet and innocent girl in her mind for you. Come to India."

Who do a arrange marriage at this era? Tell me.

And what will I do with her innocence. I don't want a wife who is full of innocence I want her to be bold, brave enough to face this cruel world.

Whenever I or she call she asks me "when are you coming?"

And today she threatened me by telling me that if I won't come in three days, she'll come here to dragged me and won't let me come here ever. If you're thinking she is bluffing then you're wrong. Because she can do that. She knows how to make me agree with her decisions.

Mom is mom. No one can deny her words.

So, I booked my flight to Mumbai. I have to mail leave application to the CEO. But I know he won't say No because I haven't taken a day off this year.

Oh! this is really frustrating. I hate this type of things, to see my wife to be. Yeah, the whole process. She'll come with tea tray shyly and my mom will ask her to seat near her....

I want to pull my hair in frustration. It was better if I married Aleia without informing mom here only. I know my mom would never leave me for this. Or she would leave me for forever like I'm dead for her. Because though she is very modern outgoing woman but by heart and soul, she is very religious and traditional. She would never accept Aleia.

Enough of Aleia. I really have to clear my mind.
