It was about 4.40 in evening of March when sudden dreaded heat was burning whole afternoon forced me to choose later time. I favored later afternoon in a failed attempt to avoid broiling hot spell, fever of the sun and swelter in the air was making it all uneasy inside helmet when I was spanning towards nearby CCD, latest meeting point for arrange marriages.
I saw her and she was beauty, I hoped her to be engrossed by similar excitement.Biggest bliss or misery about being into arrange marriage is you don't know what's in Santa's sack for us.
We don't know what we looking for, to cut the whole story short we just waiting for "the click" that we might sense.
Sitting on porch by the bay side enjoying blissful evening and her charming beauty that clanged my soul. It took some effort to keep my notion for her by the bay as it was only our second meeting.
About 15 minutes into discussing the biggest decision of our lives and we were into something, something very crucial. It was most mandatory yet most calumniated topic over the coffee for the two of us.
She told me "I look for caring, loving and understanding partner. someone who is sensible, sensitive and smart enough to take care of us. Material things does not matter to me for person who is having know-how. He should be skilled enough to feed us and our family. " I was intrigued by her thoughts. I literally was dreaming that i cut the mustered. It was even more obvious when she revealed to me that she vibes the positive aura around me. She want someone who shares the definition of true love and that I was pretty close to it.
Eventually I felt relieved enough over few of my concerns, Of-Course, She made me comfortable.
Conversation took on leap and phantom thoughts took us to our idea of future.
"How much money you have ? " , she said. "Excuse me"? my mind roared loudly and mouth was shut. She explained me, You know it is important that we should think from future perspective buying bigger house.
"But i had to tell you few facts, My dad is retired and currently i run the show to feed my home so my bank had only penny cash. But you know with you we will surely and slowly buy bigger house. " I said.
She said "In that case how would you take me to honeymoon abroad ?".
I answered, "Yeah abroad looks difficult for couple of years, but with you and me together we will enjoy what ever we have ".
She tried extracting more from me " Yeah anyways, more important than this is necessary household amenities and at least car to travel, since we may travel your native to take care of property. "
I said, "My dad suffered loss and was almost bankrupt. The whole property had been seized by judicial order."
I added more, "I earn enough money to get back us on track soon and i would need her help to get pass through these times, I am sure that your great love shall prove to be linchpin in our relationship. I had fought alone all these years so far, I think I've done well and now both of us can make the journey graceful".
She just holdup the talks midway, at the drop of a hat she leaked out the conversation and stated, "I appreciate you for being truthful, you are such a nice guy but, But i dint think my parents would complacent with these facts and eventually they opinion themselves over this"
I wanted to tell her more but these words hovered around my mind as if just dropped the egg of my dreams.before i say a word she revealed the golden words, Even I don't think, I've "The click" after our meeting". we wished good luck to each other and from happy grin to the sad simper, our conversation ended and we parted our way.
After she was gone, gleaming towards bay side i completed my sentences "I still had long lands which my mom owns by the countryside, Yes, my bank has just pennies as i had all my big funds invested safely and I hold more than enough money to live lavish lifestyle.
Amazingly few minutes ago she said she was not interested in material thing and suddenly she left me when she discovered that my father was not rich.
I was still mesmerized over her beauty for few more hours before I woke up over her fascination. I couldn't short sell myself for it, I wouldn't bargain my way out as it was not a deal, for-sure it was not "The Click".
