Marriages are made in heaven - This is what people say about marriage. But I was a girl who thought after-marriage life should be made in heaven. I was waiting for the HIM to enter my life, waiting to experience love. After years of waiting it happened one day and I discovered my love. If you are eager to know how, you should first know about me. Hi, I am Shalini.
I work in a software company as a test lead. I love pets, i love music, i love my parents and obviously i love ma friends.. Am a chubby girl with cool attitude.. Now enough about my introduction lets go to my love story!!!!
I was sitting in a park, waiting for him for almost half an hour. I looked around to make sure that none of them around were known. I was very much tensed and I picked my phone from my handbag and dialed his number; it said the line was busy. Suddenly he closed my eyes from behind. I was very sure it was him; I knew every movement of his, his odor, something always made me realize his presence. He slowly hugged me from behind. He came near me, looking into my eyes and sat next to me. We looked at each other for none-knows-how-long. Suddenly it started raining. The rain dissolved us, the bench we sat on, the park, everything. My mom started yelling “Shalu, time to get up. Don't you want to go to office today?”.
This dream of mine disturbed me a lot. Being at the right point in the age ladder to fall in love, this was more than enough to create enough distraction. Adding to it my friend Srinath came to me with a wide smile asking for a cofffee. To be frank i had a crush on him bigtime, which made me say Yes to the coffee..
Yes,, we were in Coffee shop.. Srinath and I had a long discussion about various topics,,, without knowing for what we r discussing about these stuffs, he started like this...
Him - Shalini , what do you think about living together?
Me - Well, Namma culture ku set aagadhu Sri.
Him - Apdi lam illa, we can give it a try,, I have a feeling for you, but that does not mean that i love you,, we will live together sometime and decide our future. what say???
Me - R yu kidding. Am not a girl of that type.. Thanks for the cofee and Bye.
Him - Shalini one second. just listen me pls..
Me - ya sollu.
Him - I just said we will live together. that does not include any physical relationship and things.
Me - Need some time thinking about it. But now my answer is NO.. Byeee..
Two days passed and i still did not say yes to him. The third day i made up my mind to accept his proposal. . I did not want to text him or tell the Yes over the phone. I wore my favorite dress and chose the best set of ear ring. I lit the lamp in the Pooja room and prayed god. I always do that before taking big decisions in life. I waited for him in my office lobby. He came there but to my surprise with my friend in his side. His arms were around her shoulder.
"Hi Shalu” said Swathi, a good looking girl who works with me. She was very close with him and said “Hey we have planned to live-together for sometime. He asked me yesterday and I said yes.” I wished them good luck. He shamelessly smiled at me and said "come darling lets go" and took her away. “Beep” there was a text message for me. It was from him. It read “I asked few of you and she agreed to that proposal. So you better don’t tell her that I asked you out. That is when i realized that there was nothing called love. I always used to say love is neither a feeling nor an emotion, it is just an assumption. People assume that they are in love and hurt themselves.
I was upset when i drove back home. I was driving as slow as possible. I still remember that second of that day. I saw a guy standing in the side of the road in the signal. He was waiting to cross the road. At that moment I did not know that he was the one who was going to make me realize what true love is. The guy fell down and went unconscious, right in front of my eyes. I stopped the bike instantaneously and ran to him. I picked him up with the help of people around and drove him to the hospital. After few hours of waiting outside and looking at him, the doctor said he was fine. I went near him and sat next to him. I did not know him before but something brought tears in my eyes. He took my help and got up. He asked me to sit near him in the bed. I sat. It was just like the scene in my dream but the location was different. He hugged me and kissed me in my cheek. That was my first kiss ever; i felt the same way i had felt in my dreams. I lifted him up and made him sit on my hip. Yes, he was five years old. I discovered what love was that very minute.
Love is not that which you assume it is; it is something that’s found in everyone everywhere. The real love lives in every smile of others.
