Just a year back, she was just another stranger on the street. One of those many people who just happen to pass by when you are busy with something, lost in your thoughts, waiting for a bus or travelling in a train and numerous such places.
A couple of phone calls, a meeting and some time on chat. She was somebody I could talk about anything and everything. She was confident, logical, tolerant (of my weirdness) and caring.
I wanted things to work but then the world in not so ideal. In India marriage doesn’t mean just two people, it is two families. Ya families, that’s where it went a little out of hands.
I guess I was weak, too weak to stand up for something for myself. And I guess the first thing in this relationship is the ability to stand up for oneself, yourself. She was right to make a choice to walk with somebody who would walk by her side than with the guy who was afraid to take the first step.
Or,
I guess I was too strong. Too strong to just follow what makes everyone happy, people who matter to you. “I” just ceases to exist. Even these types are difficult to handle hence, people usually prefer somebody who walks the middle path.
Strong-weak, stupid-weird no matter what categorization would justify the whole event. I did try behind the scenes .I knew that you wished and waited long for us to come together, I didn’t need to hear it from you, I just knew it. Coz, So did I.
I just expected the time to be right, things worked out, ideal as they should be (I don’t have a short term memory loss but I do have good theatre experience to make it look like it is). Good luck!!
