A WEDDING ROMANCE

The final glance..

08.11.2021

The only chance I have left to see him is during the final Jumagi, which could happen at any moment.

"What will it bring?" I wondered to myself. Not wanting to get my hopes up, I decided to busy myself with work to keep from thinking about it any further.

"Your aunt called today," my mom said.

"Oh, what did she say?" I asked.

"Well, the last Jumagi has been finalized for the 10th of November."

"Oh, that's great," I replied.

My restlessness grew as I thought about it. Why am I more excited about this? Maybe because it's happening at Mehmet's house... it'll be fun, I thought to myself.

"Come on, start getting ready. The drive is long since they live pretty far," my mom said.

"Okay, Mom," I replied, trying to stay calm.

I wanted to look my best today, so I carefully did my makeup and put on my outfit. But when it came to my hair, I felt stuck-I'm not good at styling it. I asked my mom for help, and even though she was busy, she quickly did my hair.

But when I looked in the mirror, I didn't really like it. I felt disappointed; I didn't think I looked good.But we were running late, so I kept quiet as we left. During the car ride, I couldn't stop thinking that he wouldn't like how I looked.

When we finally arrived, everything seemed to be going well. Dinner was set up on the terrace, but I still hadn't seen him yet. I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

As I walked up the stairs to the terrace, I saw him standing by the door with his sister.

My heart skipped a beat-Ahh..he was wearing a kurta!!! and he looked really handsome.

I was so distracted that I almost tripped, AGAIN. Why does this always happen to me?

It felt like something out of a movie, the way I always seemed to stumble when he was around. LOL

Thankfully, I managed not to fall this time as well. As we stepped onto the terrace, they welcomed us and showed us to our seats. The table was just for the girls, we all took our seats. I couldn't stop myself from glancing back at him, my mind full of excitement and worries.

When the person you love is right in front of you, it's hard to walk, smile, or even breathe normally. That's exactly how I feel right now. I can't even eat properly! He was serving food to everyone at all the tables except mine, because it was just the girls at my table. Honestly, I really liked how respectful he was.

I could feel his presence, but I couldn't see him clearly. The terrace was dark, and the light behind him cast a shadow, making him look almost like a silhouette. Meanwhile, I was clearly visible because the light was shining directly on me.

Almost everyone had finished eating, and some had even gone downstairs after washing their hands. But I was eating really slowly, and it was on PURPOSE-I wanted to see him as much as I could.

Finally, after finishing my meal, Selin and I went to wash our hands, following right behind Mehmet. I felt shy walking that way, and he noticed. He quickly moved aside to give me space. HE'S SO RESPECTFUL!!!
My love for him keeps growing because of all these little things that truly matter.

After he moved, we washed our hands and headed downstairs.

I was tempted to slow down on the stairs until it was just me, then write my Instagram ID on a piece of paper and call Mehmet over with a gesture to give it to him. My intrusive thoughts were getting out of hand.

"Just go away, Sejal," I told myself, and I headed downstairs.

The whole event eventually came to an end, and I didn't see him again. As we were leaving, I caught a quick glimpse of him through the lift's mesh. And just like that, this beautiful wedding came to an end
