"She's deeper than anyone else, and that's probably why nobody gets her. She's a bit too much for anyone, that's perhaps the reason she's always alone. She's more mature than anyone else her age, maybe that's why she understands what others can't. But she wants to feel understood, she doesn't want to be lonely anymore, she wants to be normal so that she can fit with others. She wants to change herself because she just wants to be loved. And that's the saddest thing in the world, because she's so extraordinary, and there's no one in the goddamn universe that could be as much as her. But she doesn't realize that, and she blames herself every night for not being ordinary. She hates herself for being this unique human being.

"Ira, I have raised you with lots of manners and  good upbringing and I truely want you to abide by them. They are coming here for your rishta ( a Relationship) and I want you to accept their proposal without any tantrums, like a good girl" Ammi smiled caressing my cheeks.

"Why are you in a hurry to send me away, even when you know you only have me. I don't want to live in a new family which will not have my ammi" I said making a morose face and instantly hugging her.

"Daughters are raised to blossom another home with love and affection. And my daughter will make me proud like you have made me till now. Don't worry about me, I have a lot to live on with. But currently I only want you to settle." Ammi patted my back.

"May I know who are they? I hope they are not close to anyone in our realtions. Because not to offend you, but I hardly like anyone in our relationship far and near" I smirked, my body was set on fire hearing the name of my blood related relatives.

"No, No...Your Khala Jaan (Aunt) has suggested this nikah. And The guy had studied abroad just like you, and now he has settled helping his father in his business. Hopefully the family has agreed that you can join their office, if you want to work with them." Ammi smiled.

"I see, seems like an educated family. Khala is already best, and I won't ever dare to question her choice" I smiled at my ammi. Who seems like the cutest momo ball in this whole wide world.

"Mashallah, meri beti ekdum Chand k tukda lgrahi hai ( Mashallah, my daughter is looking like a piece of moon) "

I saw ammi smiling at the door.

In spite of not being a lot interested in this marriage, I wanted to settle down with someone  because of Ammi. She has always listened to all my desires and with utmost care she fulfilled them. And today it was my chance to fulfill my Ammi's dream.
