Prologue 

No one loves you unconditionally. No one  repeatedly says "I love you" even though there is no response from the other side. All this physically hurts me and I can't decide if it is the silence that is hurtful, the sharp responses or the hateful words .... 

And yet I say I love you and apologize because of all the sweet things that you do  that no one else in the world had ever done for me. I think, why always me , why not you? Why isn't it you apologizing to me...... 

Chapter 1 

I am just an ordinary Indian girl working in the states and living her dream. That's what it looks like on the outside anyway. My life has had a fair share of ups and downs or rather more than a fair share, unlike some people who happen to be very lucky in that department and have everything figured out. Believe you me I am not jealous it's just that I am pointing out certain facts which I guess every one already knows. I guess its karma. As my mother would say " It's because of what you did in your previous birth hence you are paying the price now." 

This weekend is very important to me. My best friend for the past three years, Sarah is getting married and I am the maid of honor. That is the reason why I am sitting in my living room drinking tea and reminiscing about my past. I am finally at a happy place except for the part where I avoid 'relationship talks' with my parents( since the incident ... ) and that I was under therapy till recently.

Mind you I am not some psychotic killer who loves to kill while you are asleep,  it's just that I was in a pretty serious relationship which got really out of hand if you know what I mean(of course you don't know what I mean how could you when I dint tell you yet!  Silly me!). It was not a  domestic abuse situation but it's just that I fell hard ,really hard for him. My one and only true love. You might wonder that everyone experiences heartbreaks, so how come my situation got so out of hand? Well you see its like this:  

1. I am Indian girl born in a good open minded Hindu family  

2. I never had experience in the dating scene, because well you know its not the USA.(ir rather it's India)

3. I was against love in the first place because I believed all guys were jerks. 

4. I was an obedient rule abiding child ( golden girl in the eyes of my parents.) 

5. In India you never tell your parents your dating because they will be against it no matter how open minded they are especially if you are a girl. ( no pun intended) 

6. I have always heard that "movie love" never really exists in real life.

"Dia, hurry up we have a lot to do today",  says Sarah which snaps me out of my thoughts. Oh well so much for a laid back Saturday morning. 

"Hmm.. oh hey almost done we will leave in five and by the way where are we going?" 

"what do you mean where are we going? I sent you an email with the entire schedule for the weekend don't tell me you did'nt read it!"  says Sarah as her tone starts rising with each syllable she utters.

Wow what is with brides and their hyper crazy modes during weddings I never get it. In India I never saw my cousins panicking like this for every small thing. Hmm must be something to do with being an  American!
