My alarm rang, uh, (I felt my phone and switched off the alarm) let ma come and wake me up till then I'll sleep, I decided and went to sleep.
I heard a knock on the door “umm" I said sleepily but loud enough so ma could come in and wake me up, I heard the door open and ma come near me, ma kept her palm on my shoulder and shook me.
I always had the habit of stretching my hand to ma when she wakes me up and when she holds my hand, to pull myself from my sleep, I would get up and hug her. This was my daily routine, I did the same, but ma felt different, she felt taller and more muscular “ma" I said as my forehead was on my ‘not so ma like ma's' nape.
“Sara" huh? It sounds so much like... OMG!! Rohan! I was taken aback and switched on the lights, I didn't know what I should feel, “you?? What are you doing here, so early?" I asked embarrassment creeping within
“remember, I wanted to tell you something? I came here to talk to you” he said and I nodded my head.
I motioned him to sit down, I went to the bathroom, splashed some water on my face, brushed my teeth came back and sat on the bed beside him.“I've been selected for my work, so I'm no longer a trainee but I will have to do one project in Dubai and after that I'll be posted either in India or Dubai. I am very happy about this opportunity but the sad part is that I'll be leaving tonight, I am starting work tomorrow” he said as I was intently listening, absorbing the various things he was telling. “Wow, yay!!! Should I start my visa preps??" I asked excitedly, as if that's the only question I could ever ask.
He thought for a while and answered “start it if you want to but there is time for that, I think you should spend some time with the family after our wedding and then come anywhere." he said making himself comfortable on the bed.
His eyes landed on my crumpled blanket, he looked at me and smirked sarcastically “so, uh, this is the way you get up every day eh?, I could get used to this"
“Shoo, it’s your mistake okay, I thought it was ma" I said trying to hide the blush which was playing on my cheek due to his question, he fixed his gaze on me and it was burning me up “okay fine, I got to go get ready ma and pa are in the hall, I guess meet them also, now go? bye." I said pushing him and he walked away.
I closed the door and thought about what I had done and what Rohan had told me. “Thank you Bro (God), you are the best and I love you” I said, got ready and left for office.
At the entrance of the office I met Tina, she hugged me and congratulated me. Work went on as usual but during lunch all gathered around and were talking about each one's wedding or some special day of their life. It was too good to feel the positive vibes.
When I came home “ask your athai to book a house, mass and a hall, you decide in which church you want your wedding and the hall also" ma said I knew my wedding would happen in Coimbatore as most of our relatives are there.
Before that, I asked Rohan and his parents if they were okay with any place.
I called my athai and told her everything, she said she would call tomorrow and give an update.
Ma asked me to come home, a little early as we had to choose the invitations, I wanted separate ones for my friends and family, after planning for tomorrow we had our dinner, we generally had simple dinner, today we had upma.
