The serene beauty of the sea on the full moon night with chill breeze was something Myra wanted to admire with her husband and that was on her bucket list.

Now she sat on the sand with her hands wrapped around her legs pulled to her chest and she smiled at the waves teasing the shore non stop. A shawl was wrapped around her and she saw him sitting next to her from her peripheral view.

She was watching the sea and he was watching her.

Myra: You should see the beauty in front of you.

" Yeah, I m doing that. Trust me, the most beautiful sight I have ever seen in my life " He said without averting his eyes from her.

Myra blushed to his words and closed her eyes when she felt him leaning towards her and his hot breathe fanning the side on her neck. She gulped hard when he kissed her earlobe with his lips lingering a little longer.

Her ear turned red and her chest started heaving as her breathe labored. He bent a little and placed a kiss on her pulse and she opened her eyes instantly. She looked to her side but he was missing. She looked around and realized hit her that she was in the room of bride in the wedding hall.

Myra: What is with this dream today and at this time ? I never had such a dream all my life and it happened to be today ? Why god ? He looked familiar but who could he be ?

She gulped some water from the bottle on the nightstand and saw the time was 4 in the morning. She is getting married in another 3 hours and she was having a dream of a man kissing her. She laughed at her mind and sat leaning on the headboard rubbing her temples.

The door opened and her mother Vasundra entered the room carrying the beautiful garland in her hand followed by the bridal artist.

Vasundra: Myu, I came to wake you up. Come on go complete your bath and you need to get ready quickly.

Myra didn't speak a work in reply and entered the washroom. She stood before the mirror and looked at her face but she couldn't feel any excitement and there was no glow on her face like a bride.

Myra Mv: You can do this Myra, for your amma, appa and most importantly for him. You knew he will never be yours and its been a year, you let go of him for your sake. Now you cannot disappoint your parents so get ready. You are the bride and your life awaits a new beginning in 2 hours. I hope god and love never fail me.

Myra came out bathed and the bridal artist started dressing her. Two hours later Myra was dressed in a beautiful red silk saree with contrast green blouse. She was beautifully adorned with temple jewel collections and her hair was braided and adorned with jasmine flowers. She stood before the mirror and there stood the most beautiful bride.

The artist left the room and Myra sat on the chair waiting to be called but nothing happened. Her mother and father returned to the room with tears ridden cheeks and hugged her.

Vasundra: Sorry Myu, we are so sorry. Why does this happen to my child only ? Why can't the god give her some happiness in her life ? We should have not lived in this city at all ?

Myra guessed what could have happened still she didn't want to rush to her thoughts and patted her mother's back.

Myra: Maa, what happened ? Why are you crying ? Atleast tell me what happened.

Vasundra: That man ran away leaving a letter behind. What will I do now ?

Myra didn't know how to react and more than her own self she focused on her parents who were broken for the second time for their daughter's life.

Myra Mv: Is my life so cursed of happiness that it happens every time with me ? I don't care if love is not cup of tea. I will be more than happy to be the daughter to my parents. They don't have any conditions to love and I will live with their love all my life.

Myra: Its ok maa, lets go home. Appa, clear of the bills and lets leave immediately.

The door opened and Archana their neighbour, Myra's favourite aunt and above all his mother entered calling Vasundra outside the room. Myra's parents left the room and Myra was blank of any reaction.

Few minutes later they returned to the room but this time both families stood before her and she saw him, the man she loved for 8 years, standing a little away looking at her with unknown emotions. She didn't ponder over his expression and quickly averted her gaze to Vimala who cupped her cheek.

Archana: Myu, I m your favourite aunt but you are my daughter too. You always filled the void in my life of having a daughter. So I spoke to Vasundra and Rajan anna (bro) to make your daughter for real.

Myra: Aunty, I m your daughter only. What are you saying ? Anyhow lets go home and rest. everyone must be tired already.

Archana: Myu, We want you to get married today but we are not forcing you. Decision is completely yours. If you say yes the marriage will happen else we shall return home.

Myra: Aunty ?

Archana: Will you marry my son and become my daughter in law but I will take care of you like my own daughter. You will live next to your parents forever and we can have fun like always. We will leave you alone and you think of what I said. If your answer is yes then we will conduct the marriage in the next auspicious time which is 2 hours later else we will pack up and go home, watch your favourite movie. Only girls, you, me, Roshni and Archana.

Rajan: Myu, like Archana said. Don't force yourself into our decision. This is your life and you have all rights to decide it. Also don't think we might feel bad if you deny this marriage. Everything will be the same.

They all decided to leave but stopped when Myra called Archana.

Myra: Did he agree for this ?

Archana: He is the one who wanted this marriage but only if you are ok with it. He wants you to decide now.

Myra: I want to talk to him before I decide anything.
