The House decorated with flowers and lights. Everyone there hurried themselves to get ready with traditional costumes. The house filled with laughs, greetings,melam, here and there calling mama, aunty,nana,.. But, nothing diverts me, I'm just searching his voice. My eye longing for the one. I am hunting for him causally,by sprinkle sand in the eyes of gossipers. I visualize him in traditional wear in my dreams and expect the same view of him. But he's not there. I'm not daring to ask for him to anyone. Because my uncontrollable lips gets wider while I say his name, that shows very well who he is to me. Finally, he arrived. Getting out from a decorated car, rose garland suits his neck, holding corner of his dhoti with a proud smile he walks towards me. he is thousands times prettier than in my dreams. I'm Freeze. That moment, I experienced the smile initiates from the abdomen. My heart skipped a beat , The House decorated with flowers and lights.Everyone there hurried themselves to get ready with traditional costumes.

That moment, I experienced the smile that initiates from the abdomen. My heart skipped a beat , eyes forget to blink. My agape for him is Overwhelmed. Everyone guides him to the stage. A girl sat beside him as bride. Heart beats heavily, tears rolled down from the eyes, lips hide the pain with fake smile. I have no idea how I'm going to console my heart after the session. I still have a hope that "true love never fails". But as usual nothing happened. He put three knots in the girl's neck.Everyone praised that they're made for each other. I feel my presence there , as unwanted one. I moved from there only with his memories. Perhaps, he is married now, but I'm engaged with his memories from the day i saw him.eyes forget to blink.
