“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person”
Morning 5.30 is not the usual time for me to wake up, but I have seen the sunrise after long time. By the time I wake up, Raji was already at my residence and getting ready for the pre wedding rituals. Every day i used to get sms from her before i wake up and that day i didn’t receive, so I had send her good morning sms for first, but no reply. I knew it very well before going to bed that, it’s going to be big day in my life when I wake up.
It’s more than one and half year since I met Raji at her residence when I went there to see her along with family and we could not talk much except her studies and college. I was looking for the opportunity to talk her again and after 4 days I got the reason to call her as it was her Birthday. I called on mobile no which I got from Pavan and that call landed at her sister’s hand and she told that raji has left for the college and provided me another no to call her and so I did, but she didn’t picked the call, so I sent her the SMS greetings. I could able to get her on phone only by evening and even then we could not talk much as she was in travel back to home. I was happy to have successful conversation at the first attempt and I thought I can talk to her whenever I feel so.
Within short time I realised I was wrong that I can’t talk to her anytime as I wish as she is completely packed because of her college schedules. Though her college timings are from 9am-4 pm, she has to travel 50 km one-way to reach the college in the morning and in the evening back to home. Before I wake up in the morning she left for the college and reaches the home by 7pm in the evening and goes to bed by 8pm without fail. I get the time during her lunch break and our long hour conversations restricted only to Sundays and holidays. I was excited to go home for Dashera festive in next 2 days and meet her after our first meet and she is enjoying the college tour. We could not talk much those 4 days as she keeps travels and I don’t get the networks and most of time she is with her friends
My cousin had called me around 11 in the night to inform me that she met with an accident on the last day of her college tour in Tamilnadu.I called her to confirm and find out her status. She picked my call and it was shocking news for me as i spoke with her few hours back and looking forward for her return in the next day morning. Anxiety occupied my excitement now.She reached Ongole by morning and admitted in the hospital and I never thought our next meeting will be in hospital. I was able to reach there only by next morning and by the time she underwent minor operation and now she is ok.After 45 days of our first meet now I met her again when she is on hospital bed. Doctors advised bed rest for 4 months and she had to take the medical leave. Now iam happy after all these because I can talk her whenever I feel so, in the whole day.And in the next18 months,i never returned to hyderabad with out meeting her whenever i go my hometown.
Marriage is supposed to happen long back but i feel i succeed some what to extend the marriage till today,but when my friends ask weather its love marriage or arranged marriage? I my self confused to answer because our relation began as arranged marriage but when it come to ending after 2 years it was like love marriage.
That day started with lot of confusion, and I was preparing for big event. every thing went on very well with tradition and custom like any other marriage but one incident made my marraige unforgettable and that incident itself is the gift from my close aide.
It’s hardly 24hrs since I started new phase in my life, I really don’t know how the new life is going to be. I feel somewhat am lucky that I got ample time to prepare for this, but am still nerves.
