15

The day when I first met him

Literally 15 August, when our nation got freedom , my freedom was going to be disavowed from me (as per my thoughts)

It was 10 am in the morning , when every one was enjoying the flag hosting and I was so stressed out as if my CA result are going to be declared today

Every minute, I was trying to make myself calm but the Bollywood kida inside me was playing the worst version of the arrange marriage 

With every passing minutes my dil was breathing an extra mile

The arrival was schedule to be around 5 pm, as you all know “ jab shadi ki baat ho muhrat Kon nikalta hai - Panditji”

So it’s was 4’0 clock in the evening , I was little confused about my hair (Curly hair girl can understand my situation )

 I asked was my brother- “ should I use straightener “

My brother replied “ present yourself as u are”

So I decided to flaunt my curly hair

I was made to sit in my room and do all my make up stuff which I learned in 10 min through YouTube ( sometimes YouTube is life saviour for us #nopaidpromotion)

I wore pink suit with pink dupatta ( dupatta is basic characteristic of sansakari bahu), little makeup and let my curly hair fly in the sky atleast someone should enjoy Independence Day

I was sitting near my window to have a look of him at the time of arrival

When someone in my family shouted “ ladkewale ki Gàadi aa gai”

I tried to look his face but I can only see his back from the window”

Then both the family member met and discussed all the merits of being Ristedaar

Welcome drinks and food was served kyuki ladkewale ki khatirdari karna ladkiwalo ka farz hota hai

Then someone was ladkewale side said “ ladki ko bulaiye ab”

To ladki ki dimand hui hai to puri to krni padegi

I was asked to come out from my comfort zone to unknown zone

I was shivering with fear and was blank about everything. If anyone has asked me who is prime minister of India 

I would have also answered “ Prithviraj Chauhan”

Then I was made to sit in the middle of everyone and then the actual arrange marriage scenario happened

But with a twist, the family was trying to make comfortable rather than judging me with “ best bahu QnA”

I tried to look his face but my inner sanskaari ladki said “ najro ko niche rakh”

Then the dialogue from arrange marriage flashed “ ab ladka aur ladki ko akele me baat krne dete hai”

Then I saw him for the first time

Maroon shirt , black pant, tall, silky hair and some sort of calmness in his face

We both were made to sit in the room 

He came with full preparation and I was the back bencher who didn’t studied even in the last min of the exam

Then he started asking me question and I backfired him with his own question

So question answer went on and on.. making us comfortable with “ ha jhel sakte hai ek Dusre ko zindagi bhar”

We didn’t said “ Yes” at that moment , we took 1 more official visit and 1 unofficial visit to decide our destiny

“Kabhi kabhi pankho ko aashman me yu hi udhne do,kya pta his cheez to tumhe sbse jyada darr hai, wo hi aaj tumhe tumhari nayi Udaan tak le ke jaaye “
