A reason to live.

Chapter 9

“Hello, wait, why do you look sad?? is there some other problem??”

“uh....mm...you know, I've always had dreams as to how I should be when I'm going to get married" Rohan said as we left the coffee shop.“I'll drop you home" he continued

“uhm.... it's fine, I'll manage, you tell so what's the problem in having dreams?" I asked as we walked to a park nearby.

“I wanted to be settled, have a good job etc, so that I can give my wife a happy life, but now...I'm only a trainee and after this project, if I'm selected then I'll have a job else I will have to do other projects, till I'm selected, either way I won't be able to visit India, so that is my problem, my wedding is not happening the way I wanted it to be." he said and sighed and looked up.

“hmm....I understand, but, I'm also working and I won't be totally dependent on you so you can relax a bit and aim at getting your job and need not worry a lot about providing for me." I said “that won't be nice, if people come to know of it?” He questioned.

“Seriously!!! people will keep telling things, I'm not pushing you to tell ‘yes' but I always want to keep my parents happy and till now they have never asked me about getting married until you and if there is really a valid reason, I don't mind lying and not get married" I said 

“I know it’s not a valid reason, I will get this job, I know, I've worked a lot for this but I can't call you up every day and when I call I won't be able to talk to you like your fiancé (lovey dovey ) I can only be your friend till our wedding, I really need your support. Once my project is over I'll call you, till then I guess you got to wait, will that be okay?" 

“It's fine with me and as a friend, I'll pray for you, OK, just chill. Let's pray and ask God to bless this new step we are going to take in our lives and He'll guide us on the right path" we both smiled and were happy that we were on the same page.

I went home, actually I was happy. I skipped the way into my home, the way things were going, I always thought that I should be a friend to my fiancé and when love happens, to take it to the next level and that was exactly what was happening.

I went home, ma was in the kitchen and pa hadn't yet come, I went to ma and hugged her “ma, yes...I am ready for the marriage" ma was delighted and kissed me on the forehead 

“I knew you will like our choice, I'm glad for you, let your pa come, he'll be very happy" ma said teary eyed.

‘I told ma we are ready for the  wedding, she is very happy, thank you very much' I texted Rohan. 

‘I'm glad, I was just going to tell my parents. Our engagement will be on the day after, I guess' he replied 

I heard the bell ring and knew it was my pa, I ran down but decided to allow him to relax a bit so brought some tea and after he drank it, I was grinning wierdly that he understood. “give me the phone I'll tell Paul and ask him the details." pa said and I hugged him, my whole family was happy amd that's what I wanted.

Dad went away from us and spoke to uncle. After he finished “tomorrow you and Rohan will need to get a ring and your dress, take Lily auntie and your ma along okay?" pa said.
