Chp 22
⚓I got up at 8 in the morning. I and Neal got ready and went downstairs for breakfast. We had our breakfast and then we left.
We visited many places for the reception but some were too big and some were too small. We found a farm house in the nearest area. We reached the farm house.
" this is it " I and Neal said it together and laughed. We booked the farm house for our reception. The catering company was going to be the same. All we had to decide is the decoration for the farm house. We wanted it to be pretty and elegant. As it was a evening function we wanted dull lightings and beautiful hanging lamps. We ordered the material and in the meanwhile we went to the church for the wedding booking. We reached the church and as we were going inside Neal stopped.
" what happened " I asked
" I don't believe in god " he said and I could see the anger in his eyes.
" come with me" I said and he denied.
" do you trust me ?" I asked him
" more than my self " he said and I
wanted to hug him at that moment it self." come with me " I said and took his hand in mine. I took him inside the church. As we prayed i saw a tear coming down Neal's cheek. He turned around and was going out. There was this pain in his heart which no one could describe. I did not stop him. I went ahead and had our time booked. I came out of the church and I saw Neal sitting in the car. He was looking at something but as I came and sat in the car he kept it inside his pocket. It was as if he was hiding something from me.
" let's leave ?" He asked and I nodded.
We picked up the invitation baskets and dropped it at everyone's house. Ah ! It was hilarious. We came back to the farm house and the material was here. We also got some help to do with the decoration. We had decided that there will be small door sort of built with flowers to enter the farm house. There would be night lamps hanging on the top and the golden small lights all around the farm house. There would be round tables every where and the 6 layered cake right in the center. The work was done half way." I'm hungry " I said and sat on one of the white tables.
" what should we do ? " Neal said
" I don't know get me food " i said
" okay " he said and within 2 mins he got pizza in front of me
" are you some sort of magician " I asked
" only for you " he said and we laughed .
" why did you cry in the church ? " I asked him
" happened in a moment " he said and his voice started shivering. He was on the verge of crying .
" what is it Neal ? " I asked him
" when I was small and when my dad left us I use to pray a lot. I use to ask god to give me father back and make my family happy again. But he did not listen to me. He took my father away.
From that day my mom is my only belief " he said and he was in tears.
" come here " I said and I hugged him
" it was not god who took your father away it was your father who chose to leave you " I said
" common buttface don't cry now " I said it to Neal
" your butthead " he said and we laughed again. We did all the remaining things and the farm house was ready. It was midnight and we had to go home. Neal dropped me at my place.
" thanks for everything buttface " I said I hugged him
" its okay butthead " he said and hugged me back. I got down the car and I closed the door.
" wanna come in for coffee ? " I asked
" how can I miss it " he said and we walked into my house.
" go upstairs I'll get the coffee " I said and Neal went up stairs.
I took the coffee up stairs and kept the mugs on the table. We sat in our favorite corner of my room.
" stop blaming God Neal " I said
" he could have changed the circumstances " he said
" he did it for the best " I said
" what was so best about it Maya ?" He asked
" look if he would have stayed with you guys he would not have been happy and he would not have given you happiness " I said
" he left us Maya " he said
" for someone he loved " I said
" what about us ?" he asked
" he loved you equally Neal " I said and the topic ended there it self. I went inside the washroom the change my clothes.
" oh my goodness get out Neal " I said when Neal entered the washroom. I was changing for god's sake.
" I wanna pee " he said and sat on the toilet seat
" ridiculous me " I said and came out. As soon as I came I started laughing. He sounded like a three year old baby.
" don't laugh butthead " he screamed from inside.
" yeaa right " I said. He came out and we both being two year old kids got under my quilt and slept. Well he was pulling the blanket but then I pulled it and I won.
