The Perfect Match

Ganesh Puja ( part 1)

This morning had a different vibe. It wasn't too bright or too dull...it was just moderate, like it was going to remain cloudy for the whole day or maybe rain...depends!

But rain in Delhi in the month of February is quite strange...it's winter right now! But who knows what might happen and when. Like who knew I would be there with my children just three days back living the best part of their childhood and being all happy and cheerful and the last two days would give me the most shocking revelations of my life! It's all planned by HIM...whom we refer to as god. The creator and planner. I am sure he is also having a nice time seeing me dance on the tunes of Arjun.

I hardly slept for an hour last night. The absence of Arjun got into my head. I wasn't missing him but I was just...just wanting him to be here with me and I DON'T KNOW WHY? 

I kept on pondering the whole night that why did I say that I have someone else in my life when I don't have a single guy coming near me! Okay, that's way too much but the truth is that I don't want to remarry and I don't want to date anyone. I don't find anyone worth my children and me. I am happy...or is that my mere assumption? Am I really happy? Ofcourse I am!

Again a knock was there on my door. I opened the door and the sight in front of me made me go dead!

"Amayaaaa???" Isha, Arjun's very own cousin or let's say wicked cousin stood there and eyed me from top to bottom like I had just performed a magic trick where I had separated my head from my body. 

"Hi!" I gave a crooked smile as I saw her making unrecognizable, out of this world expressions.
After thinking for about two minutes, she asked, "Where's Bhai?"

"I don't know," I replied standing there at the door, leaning to the frame.

"Are you here to get bhai back into your life? If you think you can succeed in that then let me make this clear to you that bhai loves only and only Disha and no one else...do you-" she started blabbing on her own. She asked a question to me and then replied to it herself and my mind was already too choked to hear her utter nonsense early in the morning so I cut her off.

"What the hell is your problem? You want to meet Arjun then find him. This is your fucking house miss and I know you don't have a memory so weak that you will get lost in your own house! So go on and leave me alone," I said as I was about to shut the door but she caught it midway.

What is their problem I don't understand! Mumma, Arjun, Isha and my sister in law...whatever! Everyone is so fucking rude! I am not talking to you and neither am I interested in talking to you then why do you have to poke your nose into my every fucking business?

"Attitude and all huh! Keep it to yourself and I know bhai must have brought you here...unfortunately he couldn't forget you for all these years but now he WILL and you are going to see that!" She warned.

He couldn't forget me? Ofcourse, because we are married...but Arjun! Even I couldn't forget you...I always loved you man. You were the only one infact, you are the only one.

The moment I settled myself on the bed to dive into thoughts about Arjun, my phone buzzed twice. It was a message.

"Good morning Amaya. Come down in thirty minutes wearing the Saree I am sending right now. We are going to your place and this time everyone will be there.

Arjun-"

What is this? This plain simple invitation? And good morning??? Was it really Arjun? I know I know...I am going to meet everyone at my parents' house and the occasion is an auspicious one I believe. The ganesh puja. In our tradition, it is conducted before all the wedding ceremonies begin because it is believed that the to be bride and and groom should get the abundant blessings of god for their happy life till eternity.
