Nalini's P.O.V

Whew..oh my goodness. I'm actually engaged!? And especially to ROHAN. To him?!

Okay, remain calm Nalini. Did I make the right choice?

I hopefully did...I don't really know. I know, I know, it sounds stupid then as to why I said 'yes' if I actually don't know why.

I just..I mean he was a bit more better than the other proposals I had experienced previously.

He has good financial security, is the same caste as me and all the necessary thing similar to the other proposals as well as the same job as me. Obviously.

Rohan, is somehow entertaining? I don't know if I liked his arrogance yet sarcastic personality, plus yes, I know he was a slight jerk at the proposal but that was entertaining in it's own way..I guess?

Eh, maybe I just got fed up of seeing more men to seemingly marry and just said yes to get it over with but I prefer to say that I actually, genuinely do like him. Not love him but more like a..friend? An annoying but funny friend?

Like he seems he won't treat me romantically but more realistically. So he seems like a good person to spend my life with and might actually let me be a bit more myself and free..sort of unlike my parents.

One thing that annoyed me though. He thought I was bringing my 'feminist' attitudes forward, um, excuse me. I actually was just saying and I didn't mean it like that, idiot.

The engagement was absolutely amazing, the church service was a bit long but as I do take my religion of Christianity seriously I did enjoy it, surprisingly, no matter how long it was.

I don't know about Rohan though, his face was literally like he got slapped. What was wrong? He didn't really seem to care, I don't know, I have heard that men find it a bit harder to settle into marriage...is that it?

Anyway, at the moment I'm at the wedding section of the clothing store, looking for my wedding sari with my mother and aunties as well as most of my friends.

The wedding is the first week of next month, so I have about 3 weeks more to prepare myself emotionally, spiritually and etc. As wells as helping my friends purchase matching designer dresses for the occasion.

I laugh as I think about them, I remember my friends stuffing their faces with the food at the buffet table at the after party of the engagement. Oh that was definitely a sight to see.

"Oh my god Nalini! This bright pink anarkili is absolutely amazing! Ahh! I love it so much!"

(Anarkili- skirted/gown style chudithar)

"Woah Swati! That's beautiful, I mean we can ask the staff to keep it in store and then we can collect that within a weeks time, okay?"

"Yes! I'm gonna look like a princess in this!"

We all laugh, yes, all my friends are going to look beautiful and amazing, and that is what they shall achieve.

In the meantime, the aunts and my mother are at the jewellery section of the wedding department looking for more gold jewellery that I can wear at the wedding.
